INTRODUCTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Napco's Gemini GEM-P816 is a state-of-the-art microcomputer-based burglary and residential fire alarm control panel of modular design. Integrally an 8-zone panel, it will support up to 16 zones with the use of optional zone expansion modules, wireless receiver modules and/or GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA Keypads. Each panel includes an integral digital communicator.

The control panel features programmable area partitioning. That is, the system may be divided into up to two discrete multiple-zone areas, each allowing access by only those users programmed for their respective area.

Opening Suppression and Closing Suppression, available through Napco Quickloader software, suppress reporting within programmed “windows”. Conversely, Exception Reporting can transmit a “fail to close” if the panel is not armed within programmed intervals and, similarly, a “fail to open” if the panel is not disarmed within programmed intervals. Furthermore, the panel can be programmed to automatically arm either area at any time. A log containing up to 400 events (accessible through Quickloader clock. A detailed event history may be displayed at the computer, using Napco’s PCD Windows Quickloader Software.

Keypads feature a liquid-crystal display for messages. In normal use, the LCD shows zone identification and status messages. Conventional LEDs and a sounder are also provided for annunciation.

Data may be quickly and easily downloaded to the control panel using a PC-compatible computer with Napco's PCDWindows Quickloader software and PCI2000 computer interface. Or, the panel may be programmed using the keypad in its secondary mode of operation. In the keypad programming modes (there are two: Dealer and User), the LCD shows memory address, data values, programming prompts, and the alphanumeric characters required for entering up to 16 user codes and custom zone descriptions.

RESIDENTIAL FIRE PROGRAMMING OPTION: Refer to GEM-P816 Programming Instructions (WI995 and WI 1182)

for programming information. This option changes the operation of the power supply in alarm conditions to optimize performance. In installations that do not monitor fire conditions (Residential and Commercial Burglary) U. L. allows the battery to be depleted in alarm conditions when AC is present. To prevent the regulator and rectifier from exceeding 75% of their rated temperature the regulator drops to 10V causing the battery to support the entire alarm current. In installations that do monitor fire conditions (Residential Fire) U.L. does not allow the battery to be depleted in alarm conditions when AC is present. Therefore when this bit is set the regulator is not dropped to 10V during alarm conditions. When this bit is set the current specifications for Residential Fire should not be exceeded. If the specifications are exceeded when a 40VA or 50VA transformer is used the regulator may exceed 75% of its rated temperature up to 85% of its rated temperature at which point the regulator will protect itself by current limiting. This would cause the battery to deplete, but no damage would occur to the panel. If a 20VA transformer is used and the Residential Fire current specifications are exceeded then the Transformer VA rating may be exceeded thereby damaging the transformer.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: This equipment generates and uses radio-frequency energy. If not installed using conventional installation practices for RF devices, it may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If it has been found to cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by removing and reapplying AC and battery power to the equipment, the installer should try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient the receiving antenna; connect the power transformer to a different outlet so that the control panel and receiver are on different branch circuits; relocate the control panel with respect to the receiver.

MOUNTING

Control Panel

Choose a mounting location accessible to (a) a continuously-powered AC source, (b) system ground, a steel or copper ground rod, ideally no further away than 10 feet, and (c) telephone lines (keep telephone wiring away from keypad wires). Remove appropriate knockouts for cables. Place the control panel at a convenient viewing height and mark the mounting holes. Attach the enclosure using screws suitable for the mounting surface.

Grounding

Connect the control-panel grounding screw to a long steel or copper ground rod driven deeply into the earth. Do not use a gas pipe, plastic pipe or ac ground connections. Use at least 16-gauge wire. Make the run as short and direct as possible, without any sharp bends in the wire.

Keypad

A keypad should be located near each exit/entry door. The keypad features a handy pull-up reference label. Before mounting the keypad onto the wall, push the Sliding Label Plate (with label and felt backing affixed and handle facing forward) down the guides at the rear of the keypad until it snaps into place. Once installed, the Sliding Label Plate cannot be removed without first removing the keypad from the wall. Note: (1) The keypad fire and panic keys should not be considered a substitute for a listed manual initiating device, such as a pull box. (2) Each GEM-RP1CAe2 includes provisions for four additional zones. See ADDING EXPANSION ZONES.

If installing onto a double-gang box, insert mounting screws through the two vertical elongated holes on the left side of the case and into the box. If the box is visible when viewed from the front, adjust the keypad vertically and tighten the screws. Then, using hardware suitable for the mounting surface, add one or two screws at the right side of the keypad case directly into the wall to ensure a secure installation. Note: Do not overtighten the screws! Uneven walls may cause the keypad case to distort.

Mounting

NAPCO Security Systems

GEM-P816 Installation Instructions

Page 10

WI994C 3/04

Wiring

Wire keypad(s), zones, expansion zone modules and output devices as shown on the Wiring Diagram. Note that the Wiring Diagram contains important information not available elsewhere in this manual.

CAUTION: Do not run telephone wiring near speaker wires; do not run keypad wiring with loop wiring.

Wireless Systems

With the addition of at least one GEM-RECV series receiver, the GEM-P816 will support up to 32 wireless transmitters. The panel can accommodate one or two receivers within the premises, responding to the one with the stronger transmitter signal. If any transmitters are selected for the default program, a GEM-RECV receiver will automatically be programmed. The keypad can display the status of any transmitter, indicating the condition of the zone (normal or open) and transmitter troubles (low battery, tamper or supervisory failure), and signal strength of the last transmission. A receiver failure will be indicated by “E06-NN” (“no response”, with NN representing the receiver number).

TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL FIRE INSTALLATION (Where permitted by local codes)

At least one smoke detector should be installed directly outside each sleeping area. If there is more than one floor, additional smoke detectors should be installed on each level, including the basement. The living-area and basement smoke detectors should be installed near the stairway of the next upper level.

For increased protection, additional detectors should be installed

Wiring

with common-area protection of the control-panel room. This system meets UL requirements for a partitioned installation.

in areas other than those required, such as the dining room, bedrooms, utility room, furnace room, and hallways. Heat detectors, rather than smoke detectors, are recommended in kitchens, attics, and garages due to conditions that may result in false alarms and improper operation. Large areas and areas with partitions, ceiling beams, doorways, and open joists will require additional detectors. Refer to NFPA Standard No. 74 (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269) for additional information, including proper mounting of detectors.

TYPICAL PARTITIONED INSTALLATION

Described and illustrated here are an example of a partitioned system

Both areas must be owned and managed by the same person(s).

! !

Both areas must be part of one building at one street address.

GEM-P816 Installation Instructions

The control panel and all wiring protecting each partitioned area must be confined to the respective area and may not impinge upon the other area. This requires that the control panel room have redundant protection; that is (a) multiple sets of door contacts, each wired to a separate zone and (b) one of those zones programmed for each area. In order to gain access to this protected area without causing an alarm, both partitions must be disarmed. In lieu of redundant protection, 24-Hour Zones may be used. Any zone protecting the control panel and transformer may not be programmed for bypass.

The sounding device must be placed such that the bell test can be heard by all partitions. Note: NFPA 74 (Household Fire Warning Equipment) requires that a

fire alarm audible device be installed indoors.

The User Program Code is not to be given to anyone except the authority responsible for all partitions.

TESTING THE SYSTEM

After installation is completed, test the system as follows.

1. Call the central station to inform them of the test.

2. Initiate an alarm, preferably on a zone that activates a steady siren, and verify proper signalling.

3. Call the central station to confirm their receipt of a good transmission.

Be sure to test all enabled keypad panics.

Note:

Signal Strength Testing/Wireless Systems

To test the operation of wireless transmitters, proceed as follows.

1. Enter the Fault-Find Mode. (See Dealer Mode on page 46. Panel must be disarmed).

2. Fault a point of the transmitter to be tested by opening the loop. If the signal strength of the transmitter is 3 or greater, the keypad will beep, as follows:

(-)

The basic zone configuration for the GEM-P816 is 8 zones. Connect as shown above to terminals 13-24. Normally Closed (N.C.) devices may be wired in series or Normally Open (N.O.) devices may be wired in parallel. Use the 2.2K Ohm end-of-line (E.O.L.) resistor in each zone, if selected in programming (refer to the GEM-P816 Programming Instructions). Zones 1-8 can be selected for a “Fast Loop Response (50 ms)” or a “Normal Loop Response (750 ms)”. Other zone options include Zone Type (Entry/Exit, Interior, 24 Hour Protection, Trouble and Fire), Instant, Chime, Area Selection and PGM Output selection. Additional expansion zone modules or wireless sensor transmitters/receivers can be used to obtain zones numbered 9 through 16.
