GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GEM-PIR is an advanced Pet Immune PIR sensor
designed for use with NAPCO's GEM-Series wireless
receivers. In normal operation, the GEM-PIRPET will avoid
detection of pets up to 40 lbs. total weight or 24" tall. 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-PIRPET. 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 enrolling the GEM­PIRPET into the panel).

FEATURES

• Signal Selective Processing for reliable operation

• Unique circuit design protects against false alarms due to

radio-frequency interference

Locating the Detector

Corner mounting with this lens is preferred as it provides the
best overall coverage. Choose a corner where the path of an
intruder will most likely cross beams, as opposed to walking
towards or away from them. This lens is intentionally made
with an 85 degree angle of view, to help prevent curtains on
windows from being in detection zones.
Sources of heat, such as radiators and space heaters, do
not usually pose a problem as long as hot air from them does
not blow directly onto the detector. One exception to this is
overhead radiant heaters, these produce very high levels of
infrared energy and can heat the unit at some distance.
Mount the unit as far from these as possible. Do not mount
the unit where the sun can shine directly on it. Mount it away
from the direction of sunlight.

Installations with Pets

The GEM-PIRPET will provide good immunity to small pets (no
larger than 40 lbs. total weight or 24” tall). Locate the detector at
a height of 7 ft. and avoid placement that would allow the pets to
get within 6 ft. of the detector. It may be necessary to mask a
zone of the lens with the supplied material if a staircase is closer
than 20 ft. to the detector and directly in a zone. Set the
Operating Mode for SSP operation.
NOTE: Pet Immunity has not been evaluated by UL.

NOTE: The LENS LN115 supplied with the GEM-PIRPET
must be used in order to achieve Pet Immunity. Do not
replace the lens with another from the Lens Library.

Walk Testing

The GEM-PIRPET has an LED which will light to indicate
activity in the Walk-Test Mode only. After power-up, allow at
least 3 minutes for the unit to settle before testing. Press the
Walk-Test Button to initiate a 5 minute Walk-Test Mode.
Replace the cover and then walk out to the maximum range
and across the field of coverage. The LED will light whenever
motion is detected and a zone violation will be transmitted to
the control panel. 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 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.

IN NO CASE SHALL NAPCO BE LIABLE TO ANYONE
FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER

This warranty contains the entire warranty. It is the sole
warranty and any prior agreements or representations,

expressly cancelled. NAPCO neither assumes, nor
authorizes any other person purporting to act on its behalf
to modify, to change, or to assume for it, any other
warranty or liability concerning its products.
In no event shall NAPCO be liable for an amount in

incidental, consequential, or otherwise arising out of any

NAPCO RECOMMENDS THAT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM

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.
