THE GEM-RECV RECEIVER
Five receivers are available: GEM-RECV8, GEM-RECV16,
GEM-RECV32, GEM-RECV96, GEM-RECV255 will accommodate up to 8, 16, 32, 96 and 255 wireless zones, respectively.
The receiver is connected to the control panel's 4-wire bus. The
receiver monitors each transmitter, updating transmitter status
as reports are received, and conveys this information to the
control panel. Also monitored is the elapsed time since the last
report from each transmitter. If no report is received within a
programmed time, a Supervisory Failure will result.

INSTALLATION
Designing the System
In planning the layout of the system, give careful consideration
to the location of the receiver. Regardless of where the control
panel is mounted, the receiver should be centrally located
within the premises, that is, equally distant from all transmitters.
Choose a location as high above ground level as practical (attic
installations are not recommended), keeping in mind that metal
objects may adversely affect reception. Draw a layout of the
system, identifying all proposed transmitter locations and anticipated receiver location. Also include notations indicating construction materials in use. Although wood and wallboard construction will have little effect upon signal strength at the receiver, concrete or brick can reduce signal strength by up to
35%, while steel-reinforced concrete or metal lath and plaster
can reduce transmitter strength as much as 90%.

Page 2
Note: In difficult installations wherein distant transmitters pose
reception problems, the use of multiple receivers throughout
the premises is recommended. (The GEM-P816, P1632,
P1664 and P3200 control panels will accommodate two receivers; the GEM-P9600 and GEM-X255, up to four). Receivers are connected to the panel's 4-wire bus. They should be
uniquely addressed (see ADDRESSING MULTIPLE RECEIV-
ERS) and all be of the same type, that is, all GEM-RECV8, all
GEM-RECV16, etc.
Note: If receivers are intermixed, the panel will only recognize
the capacity of the lowest one.
Mounting and Wiring the Receiver
After its location has been determined, remove the front cover
and orient the receiver so that the antennas are at the top.
Allowing at least 12 inches clearance for the antenna, mount
the receiver using two screws suitable to the mounting surface
through the two mounting holes in the rear cover (see Wiring
Diagram). Using 4-conductor cable, wire the receiver to the
control panel in accordance with the following table:
GEM-RECV GEM-Control Panel
1 (+) 9 Remote Power (+)
2 (–) 10 Remote Power (–)
3 (RX) 11 (GREEN)
4 (TX) 12 (YELLOW)
GETTING UP AND RUNNING
(Also see Quick Method, which follows).
For each transmitter, enter:
• the zone number to which the transmitter will be mapped;
• the 6-digit ID Code: 1-digit checksum number printed on
the transmitter and box;
• the wireless point number.
Note: When programming the ID Code at the keypad,
press
press G1 for "B"
press G2 for "C"
press G3 for "D"
press G4 for "E"
press G5 for "F"
Press D to save and NEXT (E) to continue.
Key Fob Transmitters. Referring to the programming instruc-
tions for the control panel, enter the following:
• an assigned Key Fob Transmitter number (1—16);
• the Area number(s) to which the Key Fob Transmitter is
designated;
• the 6-digit hexadecimal identification code with 1-digit
checksum number printed on the transmitter (enter all
numbers and/or letters, including leading zeros, if any);
• Aux. 1 options (see programming worksheets);
• Aux. 2 options (see programming worksheets).
Quick Method
If a receiver is already installed in the panel, Napco Trans-
mitter wireless points can be programmed automatically
("enrolled"). Note: (1) The transmitter point will be enrolled
G0 for "A"
only if the signal strength is 3 or greater. (2) Enroll a single-
point device by merely powering it up. (3) Quick Method is
not applicable to Keyfob Transmitters.
Enter the Program Mode. Scroll to the RF Transmitter Points
entry screen and proceed as follows.
1. Enter the zone number to which the transmitter point will
be mapped.
2. Press
B to enter the Enroll Mode. The red and green
LEDs on the keypad will flash and will display as shown
below (GEM-RP1CAe2).

ZN01-ENROLL:A--
3. Open the loop of the point that is to be programmed.
4. Install the transmitter battery. The keypad will indicate
that the point has been successfully enrolled.
Multi-Point Transmitters can be mapped to successive
zones simultaneously (Example 1) or to selected point by
point. (Example 2).
Example 1: A 2 point transmitter has the ID Code number 410078.
Map the two points to Zones 11 and 12 respectively.
1. Enter the Enroll mode as described in step 2 above.
2. Enter Zone "11".
3. Open the loops of points 1 and 2.
4. Install the transmitter battery. The keypad will beep twice
to indicate that two points have been
Transmitter 410078, point 1 will be mapped to Zone 11
Transmitter 410078, point 2 will be mapped to Zone 12
The keypad will now display Zone 12, the last zone enrolled.
Example 2. A 2-point transmitter has the 1D Code number 287613.
Map point 1 to Zone 6 and point 2 to Zone 9.
1. Enter the Enroll mode as described above.
2. Enter Zone 06.
3. Open point-1 loop.
4. Install the battery. The keypad will beep once to indicate
that one point has been programmed. (Transmitter point
1 will be mapped to Zone 6).
5. Enter Zone "09".
6. Open point-2 loop.
7. Remove the transmitter battery, then re-install it. The
keypad will beep once to indicate that one point has been
programmed. (Transmitter 287613, point 2 is Zone 9.)
CHECKING TRANSMITTERS
The status of each transmitter may be checked at the keypad.
Referring to the control panel installation instructions and the
user's guide for the keypad in use, display transmitter status to
show (a) the zone to which transmitter point is mapped; (b) the
transmitter's 6-digit RF ID number (c) the point number; (d)
transmitter status (normal, open, low battery, etc.); and (e) the
signal strength of its last transmission.
Signal Strength
Relative signal strength is displayed on a scale of 1-10, with 10
being the strongest. A reading of "No Data S —" denotes that
a report from that not yet been received. Readings less than
"3" indicate reception is poor and may be unreliable. In this
case, the use of a second receiver located closer to the is ad-

visable. For installations that include several transmitters,
multiple receivers may be connected to the panel. (Only the
highest signal strength will be displayed).
Note: When using the Fault-Find Mode on wireless zones,
the keypad will beep when the zone is opened or closed only
if the signal strength of the transmitter is 3 or greater.
ADDRESSING MULTIPLE RECEIVERS
If more than one receiver is being utilized, each must be individually addressed so that it can be identified by control
panel. This is accomplished by the placement of jumpers on
JP1 and JP2 at the tower-left corner of the board. Refer to
the Wiring Diagram for jumper configuration. Note: Each
receiver leaves the factory internally configured as #1.
Therefore, if only one receiver is being used, address assignment is not required.
WIRELESS SYSTEM TROUBLES
The following system-trouble codes displayed at the keypad
(s) are related to wireless operation.
Transmitter Troubles
Note: Also displayed with the transmitter trouble code are
the zone number ("NN") to which Point 1 is mapped and the
