GEMC-OUT8
Programmable Output Module
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WI1707 08/10
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GEMC-OUT8 is an 8-channel active low interface
accessory for use with GEMC-Series control panels. The GEMC-OUT8 may be used with all control panels, regardless of housing. It connects onto the remote panel Fire bus or models GEMC-BM (WI1701) or GEMC-BM/PS (WI1700) along with such other accessories as keypads and zone expansion modules. Up to 11 GEMC-OUT8 units may be used.
The GEMC-OUT8 provides 8 independent programmable
active low unsupervised external outputs for controlling bells, door latches, lights, supplemental lights and other similar devices. The panel controls the activation of each external output. Refer to the GEMC-Series installation instructions (WI1653) or the installation instructions of the control panel in use for wiring requirements in UL-listed applications.
SPECIFICATIONS
Electrical Ratings Input Power: 12.5 - 7.5VDC, 35mA standby maximum.
Current: Standby 35mA + current required for each ac-
tive output. Output Power: Active low outputs. Maximum Single Output Current: 50mA power-limited
circuits 14VDC maximum. Maximum Combined Output Current: 400mA power-
limited circuits 14VDC maximum. Note: Output current must be deducted from either
standby current or alarm current depending on the func-
tion of the output unless current is provided by a sepa-
rate UL Listed Burglary / Signaling power limited power
supply at 12 volts.
BOARD/MODULE ASSIGNMENT
The control panel must be able to identify the relay board or
module. This is accomplished by the proper placement of jumpers on Jumper Block J1 (see Wiring Diagram on page 2 and table below).

WIRING
Connect the wires to the control panel as shown in the
Wiring Diagram. The maximum distance for a single GEMC­OUT8 wiring run is 1000 feet using #22AWG wire. The maximum distance for up to 5 GEMC-OUT8 modules connected to a single wiring run is 300 feet using #22AWG wire.
Examples:
1. Wire an LED to Output # 1 (Terminal 5).
2. Wire a light to Output # 3 (Terminal 7).
3. Wire Output # 4 (Terminal 8) to the negative trigger input of a Supplemental communications device.

OPERATION
The GEMC-OUT8 provides 8 "active low" open collector
outputs. Each output will provide a "floating" ground for the load device. In a normal state, the output will float at approximately 12VDC relative to ground. When active, the output will drop to a low state of approximately 1-4VDC, effectively providing a ground for the load device, which will then activate. Note: In order to measure or test the state of an output, a load must be applied to the output. See Calculating Load Current.

CALCULATING LOAD CURRENT
The voltage available to drive each load device is a function of
the current draw of the device. This is due to a voltage drop across a 22 current limiting resistor in the circuitry of each output. Examples:
For an output used to activate an LED with a 1000Ω resistor in series, the available voltage is 11V.
If an output used to activate an strobe light which draws 100mA, the available voltage is 9.1V.
Use the chart at right to calculate the available voltage for the
devices to be driven.
Notes: Values displayed are based on a nominal supply voltage of
12VDC. Ensure that the device to be activated is rated for the calculated available voltage. If an auxiliary power supply is required, the negative terminal of the power supply must be connected to the terminal 2 of the GEMC-OUT8.
IMPORTANT WIRING METHODS
For single-conductor terminal blocks (like the type shown at
left), to terminate more than one conductor to a terminal, use the wiring methods shown at right:
For "barrier" type terminal blocks (like the type shown at
left), to terminate two conductors to a terminal, use the wiring meth­ods shown at right:
To terminate more than two conductors or conductors of different wire sizes to a terminal, use the "pigtail" type wiring method as shown at right. Use insulated wire for the pigtail, and firmly secure the conductors to the pigtail using an ap­propriate wire nut or crimp connector for the num­ber and gauge of conductors used.

NAPCO RECOMMENDS THAT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM BE COMPLETELY TESTED WEEKLY.
Warning: Despite frequent testing, and due to, but not limited to, any or all of the following; criminal tampering, electrical or communications disruption, it is possible for the system to fail to perform as expected. NAPCO does not represent that the product/system may not be compromised or circumvented; or that the product or system will prevent any personal injury or property loss by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; nor that the product or system will in all cases provide adequate warning or protection. A properly installed and maintained alarm may only reduce risk of burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise but it is not insurance or a guarantee that these events will not occur. CONSEQUENTLY, SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR OTHER LOSS BASED ON A CLAIM THE PRODUCT FAILED TO GIVE WARNING. Therefore, the installer should in turn advise the consumer to take any and all precautions for his or her safety including, but not limited to, fleeing the premises and calling police or fire department, in order to mitigate the possibilities of harm and/or damage.
NAPCO is not an insurer of either the property or safety of the user's family or employees, and limits its liability for any loss or damage including incidental or consequential damages to NAPCO's original selling price of the product regardless of the cause of such loss or damage.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or differentiate in their treatment of limitations of liability for ordinary or gross negligence, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
