The input with a Blue wire leading into the power supply unit is the NEUTRAL. Other Panel connections These are detailed in the relevant following sections. Most connections are made from the GEKKO mainboard. REPEATERS Since all Chameleon Network panels follow a “multi-master” paradigm the CHAMELEON REPEATER is also a global system repeater and not a specific “panel”...

Page 16: Communication Channels 1
Chameleon Displays are installed in a similar manner to Control Panels. Each GEKKO panel can supply a maximum of 2 Chameleon Display repeaters. The Repeater should not be located where access to the internal components is restricted and where the unit is not exposed to high levels of...
Page 17: Network Repeaters 1
Network Repeaters When you have a GEKKO integrated in a Chameleon Network system. A “network redundancy” should be used. To be able to achieve this, a CHAMELEON-REP must be used as repeater and connected in a “daisy chained” structure in a closed Loop, thus protecting the Data from interruptions or short circuits, by creating a bi-directional communications flow.
Page 18: Analogue Loop
Global Fire Equipment // g lobalfire.pt ma_gekko_01_010002_en_190522 ANALOGUE LOOP(S) The Analogue Loop provides the connection to all the analogue addressable devices and loop powered sounders. Unless the loop is completed the panel will not be able to monitor its integrity (open and short circuit monitoring).
Page 19: Conventional Sounders
Please refer to the technical specification tables. AUXILIARY FIRE RELAYS (2) AND FAULT RELAY (1) Two auxiliary fire relay outputs are provided on the GEKKO Main board. These outputs are activated when a fire is detected (unless specifically inhibited). They are labeled AUX1 and AUX2. Under the presence of any Fire Alarm condition, these 2 relays will be energized.
Page 20: Panel Batteries 2
The batteries are connected to the GEKKO main board. This battery connection not only supplies the panel with power if primary supply fails, it also provides a charging output to maintain the batteries in a fully charged state.

Global Fire Equipment // g lobalfire.pt ma_gekko_01_010002_en_190522 Logging In To enter programming mode you need to log in. The Panel must be powered up and must have initialized itself i.e. NOT showing the hourglass symbol. Press ENTER on the Keypad. You must now insert your Installer access code. See page related to Access Levels. You have unlimited attempts but if code entry is not started within 10 seconds then the panel will revert back to its default screen.
Page 27 Global Fire Equipment // g lobalfire.pt ma_gekko_01_010002_en_190522 Learning Which Devices Are Fitted 1. Enter programming mode. ( See page Access Levels, Installer Access Code) 2. Select function “8-3-2 Clear Non-Volatile RAM” and clear the NVRAM. 3. Exit Programming mode.
Page 28 Global Fire Equipment // g lobalfire.pt ma_gekko_01_010002_en_190522 Conventional Sounder Monitoring Panels have two Conventional Sounder circuits. Check the Conventional Sounder circuits for open and short circuit fault detection. To perform the Open-Circuit test, disconnect either the + or - connection at each conventional sounder circuit.

It can store a rolling 10000 entries. When it is full, the latest entry is added and the oldest entry discarded.
Page 34 Global Fire Equipment // g lobalfire.pt ma_gekko_01_010002_en_190522 The Sounder Groups must be defined when PROGRAMMED is selected, because the default NOTE: group settings have all sounders set to silent. PRESET or PROGRAMMED does not affect any sounder delay settings.
Page 35 Global Fire Equipment // g lobalfire.pt ma_gekko_01_010002_en_190522 4-6 Sounder Delay Set-up Allows the sounder delay to be set-up: The sounder delay can be set to GLOBAL MODE, ZONAL MODE or DISABLED. The sounder delay period is defined (to a maximum of 10 minutes).
Page 36 Global Fire Equipment // g lobalfire.pt ma_gekko_01_010002_en_190522 This function can be used to assign an I/O module (input) to activate an I/O Group output. The I/O Group output could be on the same I/O module, another I/O module or a group of I/O modules.
Page 37 Global Fire Equipment // g lobalfire.pt ma_gekko_01_010002_en_190522 The default is F IRE reporting. When the device is activated or reaches its alarm threshold, then the event is reported in accordance with this setting. FAULT - Primarily intended for use with Input modules, it can allow activation of one input to trigger a fault report rather than a fire.
Page 38 Global Fire Equipment // g lobalfire.pt ma_gekko_01_010002_en_190522 If GLOBAL is selected then, depending on the day, the appropriate Smoke Only, Smoke / Heat, Heat only setting is used (see functions 6-1-8 Global Behaviour Set-up and 6-1-9 Configure Timed Behaviour).
Page 39 Global Fire Equipment // g lobalfire.pt ma_gekko_01_010002_en_190522 basis whilst in INSTALLATION mode. ASET mode is only required if Auto-address devices are used in the fire protection system. Auto-address devices do not have their addresses set using switches. They automatically assign their own addresses and ASET mode is used to achieve this.
Page 40 Global Fire Equipment // g lobalfire.pt ma_gekko_01_010002_en_190522 A programmed auto-address-device that has been RESET and re-enters the fire condition will NOTE: force the panel to activate the sounders without a new address being programmed. The panel will activate the bells/sounders every time there is a new fire condition, regardless of it being caused by a new address being attributed or not.
Page 41 Global Fire Equipment // g lobalfire.pt ma_gekko_01_010002_en_190522 TROUBLESHOOTING Applicable for Function 6-4 only a) Auto-address-device does not program If during the course of programming an auto-address-device, the new address is not programmed in the module, verify that the connections to both the loop and the device are correctly made. Confirm supply polarity of the device. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Page 42 Global Fire Equipment // g lobalfire.pt ma_gekko_01_010002_en_190522 In test mode, when a detector is activated the LED on the detector will be ON and the event will be reported on the Panel (and Repeaters) for 15 seconds. If selected then the sounders will also operate for 1 second. The LED on the detector is not latched and will clear when the alarm level falls below the alarm threshold for the device.
