Rulland Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi All, Been to look at a Gardtec 580 today-trying to help a mate out!-as you do. The LED display when unset is just rambling through all sorts of random cack-when a user code is entered it seems to be normal-as does when the engineer code is used. The manual (for what it's worth) mentions a resistor in the RKP-but don't say what value or across what terms!-good eh. At the mo it's just the onboard KP but we have tried it with a remote KP and nowt changes. I have tried a 680 ohm resistor-but again the manual isn't very explicit as to where. Gardtec aint my forte-but like us all we get used to the panels we tend to use. Any ideas people?. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard. i have been to a few like this [we fit lots of gardtec] if a recall i swapped them all out as they were fooked. Service engineer is the man for these, but i'm sure its fooked.

SUBS Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I remember something about a mod with a 0.047uF Capacitor - between the 0V and the data line I think - cured similar probs for me once. apparently theres a little note somewhere in phe packaging, and a Capacitor with the Keypad that no one usually bothers with. Hopefully this will ring a bell with someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall the same issue on these older panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rulland Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 The KP's are are coming up with-'CT' which according to the damn useless manual is:'RKP tamper/E.O.L resistor missing or cable cut to RKP's'. THAT IS THE ONLY TIME IN THE FOOKING MANUAL THAT RESISTORS ARE MENTIONED!-no values no placement-I know the cable is OK cos I had 3ft of it in me hand between the panel and the KP!!............... Where and what is the blooming resistor sposed to go?-I'm gonna rip the whole shower of excrement out and put a reliable,user friendly Texe in it's place!-Then I'm gonna apply to be a dustman cos I can do without the hassle and a pay rise would come in handy!-my apologies to any dustmen on here-no offence intended!.

alterEGO Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 its a very old panel mate, they make alot of good user friendly gear aswell, like the 480. If i recall its a 6k8 across 12v & D1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 i should stay out of this as i know very little about risco panels but i would of said its a 680 Ohm and as Aaron says (same as the cp8l?) securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
