INTRODUCTION
The Gardtec 350 is a five zone microprocessor based Control panel. Each of these
zones is fully programmable.
The unit may be mounted either vertically or horizontally to enhance it’s flexibility.
Three part set suites are available, zones programmed as part set zones will be
removed when the appropriate part set is selected. The power supply rating of the
Gardtec 350 is 0.8 Amp, enough to cope with the average domestic or small commer-
cial installations. The compact size coupled with the range and variety of functions
make it an ideal choice for the domestic/ small commercial, bells only system. Factory
codes are 1234 for engineer and 5678 for user.
KEYPAD DESCRIPTION
The keypad takes the form of a 4 x 3 (0-9 YES NO) matrix. The orientation of the key
numbers will depend on the Gardtec 350 being mounted vertically or horizontally. The
unit is supplied with the horizontal label fitted and the vertical label is available sepa-
rately. If you wish to change the orientation of the panel fit the vertical keypad
overlay. A delay will occur when the panel is powered up. Press 00 for the key-
pad you have chosen during this power up delay. The orientation of the keys is
now correct for your chosen keypad.
Pressing 4, 6, YES, NO during the power up delay will revert the unit back to fac-
tory defaults. NOTE: this will not affect the keypad orientation.
LED FUNCTIONS
The display is via eight LEDs. There are three modes of LED operation, two user and
one engineer mode. The two user modes for the LEDs are shown on the keypad over-
lays. During primary (setting, unsetting etc) operation the functions shown in Black are
used. During secondary (user programming) mode the functions shown in White are
used.
When engineer programming mode is being used please use the keypad overlay
shown below:-
