Gent Alarm 3260
« on: September 17, 2008, 10:21:01 PM »
Today i just serviced a gent 3260 fire alarm panel and found a manual for it and when reading it i found that with a small black shorting link (comes with the panel but yet i have never seen one) and that you put it across the p4 or p7 link to put this panel in a one man walk test. Does anybody out there have one of these black links or know of something that will do the same thing.

Small spade connector does it just as well.

Send me your address and I will post some to you.
Incidentally most Gent 3260 panels have 2 positions for the link, one is OMT with sounders the other is OMT without sounders.

I think you are talking about old C-Tec conventional system, using jumper to make the link and set the system in OMT (one man test), it is not silent mode rather walk test, because alarm goes off and the system reset itself after few seconds in each time you do a test, but have never yet seen that with gent... :)

Nope Benz,it's a GENT "conventional" panel which had a one man test facility with or without bells dependant on which of the three pins on P4 or P7 you put the short across.
