INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of an advanced GEMINI-RP8 keypad. Meticulously developed by a leading
manufacturer of state-of-the-art security products, this system will provide you with unprecedented peace-of-mind &
incorporates some of the most sophisticated features available today. Above all, it has been designed an extra step, to provide
all those operating it with very easy, intuitive use. Please carefully review the information contained in this manual, so that you
and all potential users of the system familiarize yourselves with its operation, and can therefore take full advantage of GEMINI’s
many convenient features and amenities.
Your system consists of a control panel (a computer housed within a white metal panel enclosure), one or more GEMINI
Decorator Keypads for controlling the system, and various security detection devices. These detection devices are divided
among separate areas known as “zones”, set up throughout your premises. Each zone number corresponds to a Zone light on
your Keypad’s display area.
When a zone’s number is ON (or lit), it indicates that one or more detection device(s) assigned to that area are active or open.
For example, if Zone 1 is the front door, and it is open, the 1 on the keypad display will be lit. If zone 2 is a motion detector, and
there is movement in that area, 2 will light. Depending upon the actual layout your security professional has chosen to properly
protect your premises, each zone may function a little differently: The zone protecting your front door may be programmed as
an Exit/Entry zone to allow you time to enter the premises and disarm the system, without inadvertently sounding the alarm.
Alternatively, a zone protecting a window could be designated as an “instant” zone, so that if it is entered or opened while the
system is on/armed, there will be an immediate alarm.
