GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The GEM-PIR is an advanced PIR sensor designed for use with
Napco's GEM-Series wireless receivers. The unit is powered by
two 3-volt lithium batteries (supplied) for long service life. When
battery voltage drops below normal, a low-battery report will be
sent to the receiver (replace with Duracell DL123A or Varta/
Power-One CR123A only). Coding switches are not used in the
GEM-PIR. Each transmitter has a unique factory-programmed
RF ID code (printed on the unit) that distinguishes itself to the re­ceiver. (Note: See control-panel instructions for entering this six
digit hexadecimal code and checksum digit into the panel; be
sure to enter all numbers and/or letters, including leading zeros,
if any).

1. To open the case, insert a small screwdriver in the slot at
the bottom and push up slightly. Remove the front cover.

2. Push up on the lower edge of the
Lens Support until it is clear of its
retainers, then pull out the sup­port from the bottom. Be careful
not to dislodge the LED jewel.
Note: If the LED jewel pops out,
reinsert it with the small index
key positioned at the top.

3. Slide out the lens and install the
replacement.

4. Replace the Lens Support: Slip
the Lens Support under the top guides with its two tabs
straddling the LED jewel, then push in at the bottom until
the Lens Support snaps into place. Removing Lens Sup­port.

INSTALLATION

An assortment of ''push-thru'' holes is provided in the rear case
for wall or corner mounting. Install the two lithium batteries as
shown in the illustration below. Loosen the Height Lock Screw
and set the board's height scale to the mounted height of the
unit. Retighten the screw. To reduce range if necessary, set
height scale at a higher number than actual mounting height of
unit. Do not point the unit at sources of heat, such as radiators,
space heaters, etc. Note: In UL burglary installations, the bur­glary output must be programmed for all protective devices.

WALK TESTING

The LED will light in the Walk-Test Mode only. Allow at least 3
minutes for the unit to settle. Press the Walk-Test Button to ac­cess the Walk-Test Mode for 5 minutes.
Walk out to the maximum range and walk across the field of
coverage. The LED will light whenever motion is detected.
Check for environmental disturbances with all disruptive devices
(heaters, air conditioners) on and no human activity within the
coverage area. Adjust beams laterally by removing the Lens
Support (see REPLACING THE LENS) and sliding the lens
slightly left or right. To block a problem zone, apply a piece of
lens foil (supplied) to the inside segment of the lens represent­ing that zone.

SETTING THE OPERATING MODE

The GEM-PIR comes set for operation in the Signal Selective
Processing (SSP) Mode. To change to the fixed 2-pulse bipolar
mode for use with the Long-Range Lens* (LENS840), Barrier
Lens* (LENS818) or other lens with a limited number of beams,
remove the Response-Mode Jumper, J1.

This warranty contains the entire warranty. It is the sole

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.
