INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of an advanced GEMINI-P800 Series Security System. 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.

Your easy

GEMINI Keypad puts super-simple system control at your fingertips. Most keypad commands involve entering

your four digit User Code. This includes Arming (or activating) and Disarming (or deactivating) the system. Simply put, ARMED
means the system is ON; DISARMED means the system is OFF. If the system is OFF and you want to turn it ON, just enter your
Code. To turn the system back OFF, enter your code again. It’s easy, just always remember, in the event of an alarm,
entering your User Code will silence all Sirens. Your keypad is your command and status center, it keeps you informed
visibly—using its zone and status lights, and audibly—using its built-in keypad sounder. For more information, please see Keypad
Controls and Indicators on page 4.

Arming in AWAY Mode

1 Before arming your system, make sure the green Status light is ON. This indicates that all of your protective zones are secure. If

any zones are open, the corresponding Zone number will be lit. Secure these zones before proceeding. If any zones cannot be
secured, see Bypassing zones below.

• If you make a mistake entering your code, press C, re-enter your code and press Q.

• If FIRE I is lit, the Fire zone has not been properly reset. Press C, enter your user code and press Q.

(See Silencing a Fire Alarm, page 8).

3 Leave the premises through the Exit/Entry door. If the keypad gives a steady tone you have taken too long. Enter your code again

to disarm system and begin again at step 1 above.

Easy Arm--AWAY

The optional Easy Arm--AWAY feature allows the system to be armed by simply pressing and holding down Q for 3 seconds.
This will allow the easy arming of the system by someone who is not a regular system user.

Selectively Bypassing Zones

If an open zone cannot be immediately fixed it can be left unprotected, or bypassed ,while the rest of the system is Armed.

To bypass a zone:

1 With the panel disarmed, press B followed by the number of the zone to be bypassed. The bypassed zone’s number will flash

slowly.

2 Enter your user code and press Q. The green Status light will go out and the red Armed light will light.
3 Leave the premises through the Exit/Entry door.

When the system is subsequently disarmed, all bypassed zones will be reset, ready to be armed again. If it is necessary to bypass
any inoperative zone(s), it is important to have the zone(s) repaired as soon as possible.

A bypassed zone does not provide any protection, compromising system security.
