The keypad version can be identified by a compatibility sticker on keypad carton as well as a product version number of 07. The product version number appears as a 2 digit number which follows a 5 digit date code stamped on the the inside end flap of the carton (ex: XXXXX07DR). This number will also appear on the product on a triangular shaped sticker.

The firmware version of the keypad can also be ascertained by entering the program mode—it will read [2307 Program Mode].

! The GEM-X255 requires the use of version 7 firmware GEM-EZM-8 zone expansion modules.

This version zone expansion modules can be identified by a compatibility sticker on the keypad carton as well as a product version number of 11. The product version number appears as a 2 digit number which follows a 5 digit date code stamped on the carton (ex: XXXXX11DR). This number will also appear on the on the the inside end flap of the carton as well as on the circuit board on a triangular shaped sticker.

INTRODUCTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

NAPCO's Gemini GEM-X255 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 255 zones with optional zone expansion modules, wireless receiver modules and/or GEM-RP1CAe2 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 8 discrete multiple-zone areas, each allowing access by only those users programmed for their respective area.

Opening Suppression and Closing Suppression, available through Napco PCD-Windows 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 800 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 PCD-Windows 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 32 user codes and custom zone descriptions.

software) monitors control-panel activity referenced to a precision real-time

GEM-X255M

The standard GEM-X255 may be converted to the Mercantile “GEM-X255M” version with the optional accessory, H1217. The H1217 kit includes the model H217 heavy-duty UL commercial enclosure, the required (2) tamper switches and required tamper screws.

Do not use Fire Zones in a Mercantile installation.

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 through a No. 16 AWG. or larger wire 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. Make the run as short and direct as possible, without any sharp bends in the wire.

INSTALLATION

Tamper Switches

Tamper switches may be installed to prevent opening of the control-panel door or removal of the cabinet from the wall. Ideally, tamper switches should be connected to a zone that is active at all times, thus it may be necessary to program that zone as a 24-Hour Zone or Day Zone. When used on a normally-open zone, normally-closed tamper switches (open when set) should be wired in parallel. On a normally-closed zone, install Napco TPS-2 normally-open tamper switches (closed when set) in series. There are two places in the cabinet to mount tamper switches: (1) To prevent cabinet removal from the wall, there are three mounting holes on the left side of the cabinet, another hole on the back that allows the switch button to contact the wall. (2) To prevent opening the cabinet door, there are three mounting holes on the right side of the cabinet. When mounted, the switch button should contact the inside of the door. Be sure to alert the user that opening the enclosure door will cause a tamper alarm. self-tapping screw. The sole purpose of the self-tapping screw is to tap the holes for the machine screws; it may be discarded after use.

Each tamper switch is furnished with three machine screws for mounting, and one

Note:

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. 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.

(1) The keypad fire and panic keys should not be

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

Adding Expansion Zones

GEM-X255 Series control panels will handle up to 8 zones as is, however this number may be increased to as many as

INSTALLATION

255 programmable zones using optional expansion zone modules (EZMs).

WIRELESS SYSTEMS

With the addition of at least one GEM-RECV series receiver, the GEM-X255 will support up to 255 wireless transmitters. The panel can accommodate one to four 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. NOTE: For UL Residential Installations, a maximum of 200 supervisory reporting transmitters may be installed. This does not include GEM-KEYF or GEM-WP remotes.

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 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.

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.

GEM-X255 Installation Instructions

TYPICAL PARTITIONED INSTALLATION

Described and illustrated here are an example of a partitioned system with common-area protection of the control-panel room. This system meets UL requirements for a partitioned installation.

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

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

The control panel and all wiring protecting each partitioned area must be confined to the respective area and may not encroach 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.

INSTALLATION

Interfacing to the Ademco 7720 Long-Range Wireless System

The RM3008 may be used to interface the GEM-X255M control panel to the Ademco 7720 transmitter in order to meet UL Central Station Grade-A or Grade-B requirements by using a digital communicator combined with one-way wireless. (Normally, a digital communicator is Grade C, and may be Grade B if the specified Grade-A local bell is used.) Refer to the wiring diagram which follows, and to the instructions furnished with the Napco and Ademco equipment for further information concerning the DACT, listed compatible receiver and formats, Grade-A local bell and bell housing. Enable Line Fault Test must be programmed.

Central Station Grade-B Requirements (Pending)

Wiring to the Ademco 7720 transmitter must be enclosed in rigid conduit when outside walls, or in flexible conduit when inside walls or above ceilings, for the entire length up to the transmitter room. The transmitter room must be protected by a UL listed intrusion detection unit that is connected to one of the input channels of the Ademco 7720. Relays must be programmed to trip the Ademco 7720 for alarms on all protective circuits, including tampers, telco phone failure, 24-hour test timer, transmitter low battery and ac loss. (See PCD3000 External Relay Control screen.) One zone on the GEM-X255M, programmed as a 24-Hour Zone, must supervise the radio.

Central Station Grade-A Requirements (Pending)

In addition to Grade-B Requirements (above), one relay on the RM3008 must be programmed to trip the Ademco 7720 when the telephone line fails. Daily openings and closings are required to be transmitted by the Napco panel along with the 24-hour DACT test signal and DACT trouble conditions.

This section provides a brief overview of system operation. For detailed operation, refer to the User's Guide furnished

with the keypad (OI193 for the GEM-RP1CAe2 and to the Keypad Programming Modes at the end of this manual.

USER CODES & ZONE DESCRIPTIONS

(Refer to the GEM-X255 Programming Instructions (W1092) for a detailed explanation of programming.) Up to 195 personal user codes may be programmed at the keypad.

NOTE:

each User Code may only be programmed in the Dealer Program Mode.

Default User Code

The first code programmed should replace the default (Level-3) code, “U01 123 • • • - • • - • • ”, (1,2,3), which should not be selected as a user code. Enter up to six digits (a minimum of four digits is recommended). The related Option Code and Authority Level are programmable in the Dealer Program Mode only.

Each user should be assigned his own dissimilar code and should be cautioned against divulging his code to anyone else. Thus should it become necessary to remove a user from the system, that one code may be canceled without affecting other codes, and that user would then be prevented from entry. Software provides enabling and disabling User Codes at programmed times using the scheduling menus.

Changing or Canceling a Code

To change any code, merely program over the existing code as described in the Programming Instructions. Similarly, to cancel a code, blank out each number of the code.

The Authority Level and Access Byte associated with

Arm/Disarm Code (Programmable in Dealer Program Mode only)

An Arm/Disarm Code may be used to arm/disarm the area in which it is programmed. Up to 6 digits may be programmed or it may be programmed as a two-digit code for the purposes of quick arming.

Arm-Only Code (Programmable in Dealer Program Mode only)

An Arm-Only Code may only be used to arm the area in which it is programmed; it never has any disarm capability. Up to 6 digits may be programmed or it may be programmed as a two-digit code for the purposes of quick arming.

Service Code (Programmable in Dealer Program Mode only)

A Service Code is an Arm/Disarm Code that is easily activated when needed, and dormant at other times. Intended for the occasional or temporary user (maid, repairman, etc.) who would otherwise be denied access to the premises, it is programmed in conjunction with the Authority Level when programming User Codes. Refer to Programming Instructions.

It is activated by arming with it; an “S” will appear in the display after the exit-delay countdown, indicating that a Service Code has been activated. It may then be used to arm and disarm just as any other User Code. Service code can be armed/disarmed from a disarmed state, but it cannot be armed/disarmed from an armed state, after another user code has been entered.

Panel Access Code

The Panel Access Code will trip the panel's Auxiliary Relay while disarmed if Access Control on Auxiliary Relay is programmed. The Panel Access Code is programmed as any other User Code but without an accompanying Priority Level. Caution: Do not use the same code as any Arm/Disarm Code.

Ambush Code

The Ambush Code is a two-digit code entered by the user just prior to disarming, typically to cause a silent report to be sent to the central station. Thus, should the user be forced to disarm by an assailant, he can silently signal an emergency while appearing to be merely disarming the panel. (Check the glossary for programming required to enable this feature.) Ambush Code should not contain digits used as the first two digits of any user code.

In a partitioned system, either or both secured areas may be armed (or disarmed) simultaneously from either the Overview Mode or the Manager's Mode (if enabled). To arm or disarm the alternate area, see Keypad Area Change, which follows.

Overview Mode

To enable or disable Overview, see ACTIVATE OVERVIEW function later in this section. The Overview Mode is a high security mode of operation requiring a Level-3 User Code with Overview Option, wherein the status of both areas is displayed at the keypad. When arming, the “home” area remains disarmed. To arm the alternate area, see Keypad Area Change, which follows. In the Overview Mode, “OV(-)” will be displayed, where each dash (“-”) represents an area. In programmed areas, the dash will be replaced by one of the following:

”A” = Area Armed “B” = Burglary Zone in Alarm “C” = Check Trouble; Area in Function-Display Mode “F” = Fire Zone in Alarm “R” = Area Ready (no faulted zones) “T” = Fire Trouble ”Z” = Zone Fault

In the Overview Mode, the alternate ready area may be armed by pressing the

The User Code must be valid in that area.

Note:

Similarly, the alternate armed area (“A”) may be disarmed by pressing the

If any zone is not secured, the system will not arm and the keypad will display “CAN'T ARM SYSTEM / AREA # IN TROUBLE”, where “#” represents the area number.

Manager's Mode

The Manager's Mode, in contrast to the Overview Mode, is a low-security mode of operation.

Unlike the Overview Mode, when arming both areas press

“home” area will also arm.

As in Overview, if any zone is not secured, the area will not arm and the keypad will display “CAN'T ARM SYSTEM / AREA # IN TROUBLE”, where “#” represents the area number.

Although the default program will automatically set up Zones 1 through 8 for Zone Area 1, the panel may be partitioned into eight areas. Each zone must be assigned to at least one area. At least one zone must be assigned to Area 1. If a burglary zone is selected for both areas, that common zone will not arm until both areas are armed. If any zone disarms, the common zone will disarm.

In a multiple-area system, be sure to also program:

•

Enable User Code by Area (see User Codes/Authority Levels);

•

Keypad Area Assignments

•

Bell Control (determines which bells an area may silence);

•

Subscriber Opening/Closing ID Numbers and Event ID Numbers (if reporting);

•

If Priority Area Arming is selected, the Priority Area must be armed before the Arming Area can be armed.

Arm Lug (Lug E4)

Lug E4 (ARM) will go to approximately 1Vdc when all areas in the system are armed. This lug may be used for auxiliary equipment. (For use, refer to the instructions furnished with the device.)

Auto Bell Test on Arming

This will activate the Burglary Output briefly 10 seconds after the area is armed. If the alarm does not sound, the device may be defective.

Auto-Bypass Auto-Bypass Re-entry

Zones programmed for Auto-Bypass will be bypassed (automatically removed) if in trouble when arming. A momentary beep will sound at the keypad to warn that the system has been armed without the protection of the auto-bypassed zone. (Note that the exit/entry door must be closed before arming, otherwise the Exit/Entry Zone will be auto-bypassed.) programmed for Auto-Bypass will cause an alarm on arming after a 10-second arming delay.

If Auto-Bypass Re-entry is selected, securing a zone that is programmed for Auto-Bypass, while armed, will cause that zone to re-enter the system in an armed state.

Auto Disarm Rearm Delay

If the panel was auto-disarmed on schedule and a rearm delay is programmed (see Time Selection), the panel will automatically rearm after the delay if no activity has been detected.

Automatic Interior Bypass

Interior 1 Normally Bypassed must also be programmed for this feature to work. This feature will cause all Interior-1 Zones to automatically provide protection if the Exit/Entry doors are opened during the exit-delay period. If the

armed, exit delay will restart and the Exit/Entry doors may be opened to permit someone to exit (while others remain on the premises) without causing an alarm.

Aux. Output Chirp on Key-Fob Arming

This feature will cause a 1-chirp indication on arming and 2-chirp indication on disarming. Connect steady input (burglary) of external siren driver to the panel’s Auxiliary Alarm Output.

Auto-Reset Auto-Reset After Burglary Output Timeout

If a zone detects an alarm condition and is selected for Auto-Reset, it will automatically rearm itself as soon as the alarm condition is cleared. Auto-Reset may be delayed to occur after the Burglary Output timeout period by selecting Auto-Reset After Burglary Output Timeout and Auto-Reset. Zones that are not programmed for Auto-Reset will not be capable of signalling another alarm until (a) the cause of the alarm has been corrected and (b) the control panel is disarmed.

If Backup Reporting is selected and the communicator does not reach the first telephone number after two attempts, seven attempts will be made to reach the second telephone number. Enter Subscriber Identification Numbers for Telephone 2 and other information required for Telephone 2. Also program Backup Report on Telco 2. Any zone programmed to report to Telco 1 will backup report to Telco 2.

Battery

12Vdc standby power source in the control panel is used to provide backup protection in the event of a power loss. The battery is an integral part of the system and must be installed, even if ac power is present. Change the battery every 5 years or as required.

Bell Control

In any system, the ability to silence any combination of alarm devices (outputs) initiated from any area. Bell Control must be programmed for all systems to be able to silence an alarm. For example, in a two-area system, each area could be programmed to silence only those alarms initiated within its own area; or both areas could be programmed to silence an alarm initiated from either area.

Select which users will report closings for each telephone number, even if Closing Report Only on Conditional Closing is selected. Normally, a closing report will consist of the Closing Code and the number of the user that armed. If the user armed with an auto-bypassed zone (or selective/group bypassed zone if Include Selective/Group Bypass In Conditional Closing/Status was programmed), the Conditional Closing Code will also be sent.

Select Closing Report Only on Conditional Closing to report only when arming with an auto-bypassed zone (and selective/group-bypassed zone if Include Selective/Group Bypass in Conditional Closing/Status is programmed).

Select Status Report to send a closing followed by a status report that identifies the problem zone(s). A typical Status Report is represented by the following example.

Example (4/2 Format). A burglar breaks into a commercial establishment during the night, breaking the window foil on Zone 5. The Open/Close Subscriber Identification Number is “1234”; the Alarm Code for Zone 5 is “3,5” (Burglary Zone 5); the Subscriber Identification Number is “6789”; the Closing Code is “C”. The communicator will send the following report to the central station.

When alarm occurs:

”6789 35” - Alarm, Zone 5

Closing Report:

”1234 C1” - Closing, User 1 (User 1 returned, inspected damage & rearmed; the same transmission would occur for User 11, 21, 31, etc.)

Entry/Exit Delay Entry/Exit 1; Entry/Exit 2 Entry Relay Enable Exit-Delay Restart

Delays permit exit and entry through the Entry/Exit Zone(s) after the system is armed without setting off an immediate alarm.

Entry delay allows the user time to enter and disarm the panel. Exit delay allows the user to leave the premises after the panel has been armed. Unless the keypad has been configured otherwise, the sounder will come on and will pulse during the last 10 seconds of entry delay to remind the user to disarm.

Two individually-programmable entry-delay times are provided to accommodate different entry zones. If two or more Exit/Entry

Zones are entered in succession, the delay programmed for the last Exit/Entry Zone entered will take precedence over all others. Exit-Delay time and Entry-Delay time may each be programmed for up to 255 seconds (4 minutes). See Time Selection.

An external relay may be programmed to trip upon entry (see Programming Manual: Relay Event ID Codes, Area Entry Relays),

and remain on for a programmed duration.

If the system has been armed with Exit-Delay Restart enabled, when the exit door is opened and then closed, the programmed

exit delay will restart at 60 seconds. Thus, if a long exit delay is programmed, it will be reduced to 60 seconds after exiting, yet still allow reentry before entry time starts. If re-entry occurs within that 60 seconds, exit delay will restart once again (and only once again) at 60 seconds.

If re-entry occurs within 60 seconds after exit delay has expired, the alarm will sound a 2-second warning (with the entry sounder)

Exit/Entry Follower

A zone programmed as an Exit/Entry Follower will ignore detection during the exit delay, and only during entry delay if the Exit/Entry Zone is entered first. Thus, detection devices (passive infrared detectors, for example) along the path between the keypad and the exit/entry door will not signal an alarm during exit/entry delay under normal conditions. However, if a device in the Exit/Entry Follower Zone detects a violation when the exit/entry door has not first been entered, there will be no entry delay and the Exit/Entry Follower Zone will go into an instant alarm.

If the panel is armed with the entry delays canceled (Instant protection), any violation on the Exit/Entry Zone or the Exit/Entry Follower Zone will cause an immediate alarm.

Expansion Zones EZM Type EZM PGM Armed Terminal Control EZM Tamper

Zones 9–96 are expansion zones added to the basic system using expansion zone modules (EZMs). Any combination of GEM-EZM4 (4 zones), GEM-EZM8 (8 zones) and/or the 4-zone modules integral to each GEM-RP1CAe2 keypad may be used. Refer to Section 2: ADDING EXPANSION ZONES and the Wiring Diagram. Also see the instructions accompanying each module for wiring information.

Regardless of how the modules are arranged, the expansion zones are divided into consecutively-numbered groups of four. Each 4-zone module comprises one group of zones; each 8-zone module comprises two groups. Each group is assigned a number.

For each EZM group, program EZM Type (two nibbles, left and right), as follows: EZM Not Used: leave both nibbles blank (••); Burglary EZM: enter “1” in the right nibble (•1).

If EZM PGM Armed Terminal Control is programmed for the EZM module, Terminal 6 on the module will go low when the areas programmed for that module are armed. This may be used to display area-armed status (for example) on an external LED. This terminal is intended for connection to UL-listed devices rated 5mA maximum and capable of operating from 8.0–13.0Vdc (12V, special application).

After this time, power is restored and a 4-second power-up time is started. Thereafter, the zone will be active again. This represents a total processing delay of 16 seconds from the time the alarm is first detected. If an alarm condition still exists at this time or reoccurs within 2 minutes, an alarm will be initiated, otherwise the zone will return to its original state. zone programmed for “Fire Alarm Verification” must be programmed as a “Fire Zone” as well.

Fire Output

Lug E9 (FIRE) will go to about 1Vdc when a Fire Zone programmed for Fire Output is tripped. This lug may be used for auxiliary equipment. (For use, refer to the instructions furnished with the device.) Use Napco Part No. WL1 for connection.

Fire Output Cadence

The bell output will sound in a Temporal Cadence fashion in the event of a fire alarm. Program all Fire Zones or events to activate the PulseBurg Output, and program the Option PulseBurg output Cadenced.

Global System Troubles by Output

System troubles (Low Battery, AC Failure, etc.) can trip any output (Pulsed Burg, Auxiliary, etc.). for RF Low Battery, RF Supervisory Failure or GEM-DT Self-Test Failure.

If the Leading Digits are programmed as 98 (1st digit = Address Location 0520 [!] [9], 2nd digit = Address Location 0521 [!] [8]), the Pager report will now appear as 983 022 1234 .

Line-Reversal Module, M278

The Line-Reversal Module allows the panel to be monitored by a central station through leased lines. On alarm, the module reverses normal line-voltage polarity. For details, refer to the instructions furnished with the module.

Logging of Security Bypassed Zones

The panel will log by User, Date, Time, and Zone any zones which are bypassed with the Security Bypass Mode. This is useful in a system where openings are on 24 hour protection zones and access is only allowed if the zone is Bypassed by an authorized User, and then Unbypassed when done. A typical application would be a warehouse or shipping terminal where the overhead doors are programmed for 24 hour protection and must be Bypassed to allow access, and then Unbypassed again.

Typically, any zone, other then a fire zone, will automatically be unbypassed when the panel is disarmed. In order to unbypass

a fire zone, follow procedures 1 through 4. After executing step 4 the display will read - Unbypassed, Zone #.

When a fire zone is bypassed the panel will go into a fire trouble condition. It will also transmit the fire trouble to the CS, if

programmed to do so.

Zones 1-9 are entered as 01 - 09.

Loop Response

Loop response is the amount of time in milliseconds (mS) that a normally-closed circuit must remain open, or a normally-open circuit must remain closed, to trigger an alarm. The slower the loop response, the more immune the system will be to intermittents (“swingers”). Loop response times for Zones 1 through 8 are programmed into the control panel; those for Zones 9 through 96 loop responses are selected at the respective keypad configuration mode or expansion module jumper. (Refer to keypad instructions and EZM Installation Instructions.)

Selectable loop-response times for Zones 1–8 are:

(750mS required for UL installations)

NAPCO Security Systems

GEM-X255 Installation Instructions

750mS (.75 sec.): The slowest loop-response time, recommended for use with magnetic contacts, window foil, etc. Unless

programmed otherwise, loop-response time will be 750mS for all zones.

50mS (.05 sec.): Used for momentary Panic Buttons and area-protection devices, such as photoelectric eyes, passive infrared

sensors, floor mats, etc.

10mS (.01 sec.): An extremely fast loop response used primarily for window bugs.

Low Battery

A low-battery system trouble will annunciate at the keypad when the battery terminal voltage drops below normal. This condition may signal a local sounding device, report to a central station (program Panel Low Bat Report Code), or both. If a battery is installed and low terminal voltage is detected, a restore will not occur until the battery is recharged to its specified level and passes a dynamic test. The dynamic test may be initiated manually by pressing the

Swinger Shutdown

Program for zones with Auto-Reset to only reset twice (3 alarms) until rearmed to prevent “swingers” (intermittents) from causing repeated false alarms. See Auto-Reset. The Swinger-Shutdown feature is programmable by zone, but is not applicable to Ambush.

System Troubles (Global and Area)

System troubles may be programmed to report to any telephone number and/or activate any output. Also program Subscriber ID Numbers, Telephone Numbers, and Report Codes for each system trouble.

RF TROUBLE will report for RF Low Battery, RF Supervisory Failure or GEM-DT Self-Test Failure.

Note:

System Trouble Audible Automatic Timeout Inhibit System Trouble Audible

In the event of a System Trouble while the system is disarmed, the keypad will scroll the trouble description in the display and activate the sounder until [RESET] is pressed. If [RESET] has not been pressed within 10 minutes of the trouble, the sounder will automatically turn off in 10 minutes.

To disable System Trouble Audible Automatic Timeout , enable Disable System Trouble Audible Timeout in the PCD3000 Keypad Features screen. NOTE: If the system were Armed when the trouble occurred, the keypad would display the SYS TBL icon, but NOT activate the sounder.

For installations where an audible on system trouble is not desired at all, the option, Inhibit System Trouble Audible can be enabled. Regardless of the system status, Armed or Disarmed, there will be no keypad sounder at all in the event of a system trouble. However, the trouble will still scroll in the keypad display until [RESET] is pressed and the SYS TBL the trouble is restored. (Do Not program in UL Installations)

Telephone Numbers Dialing Prefix

To report to a central station, Telephone Number 1 must be programmed. Telephone Number 2 is programmed for Backup Reporting; Telephone Number 3 is programmed for Double or Split Reporting.

Private telephone systems may require a Dial-Tone Detection “E” or Pre-Dial Delay “D”, followed by an access number to obtain an outside line. (See Access Number for Outside Line.)

It should be noted here that the telephone number need not actually start in the first location shown, and may not end in the last. Extra locations have been provided to allow for one or more prefix digits: a Pre-Dial Delay “D” or a Dial-Tone Detection “E”. What is important is that the telephone number, with its associated Pre-Dial Delay, Access Number, and Dial-Tone Detection, be wholly contained within that group of locations, and that they be in their proper sequence.

If needed, a Dialing Prefix of up to 20 digits may be programmed. This prefix will be dialed immediately before the programmed Central Station telephone numbers.

Test Timer Cancel Next Test Timer Report on Any Report

The test timer schedule is programmed using NAPCO's PCD3000 Quickloader Software. If Test Timer is programmed, an automatic test report will be transmitted to the central station on the scheduled day(s) at the scheduled time. (UL installations require a report at least every 24 hours.) To report test timer, select Report Test Timer and program a report code. Program the Test Timer event schedule and reporting time.

If Cancel Next Test Timer Report on Any Report is programmed, any report will cause the next test-timer transmission to be aborted, however subsequent test-timer transmissions will report as scheduled. Do not program this feature in UL installations.

Note:

To select a time up to 15 seconds, 15 minutes, 15 hours, or 15 days, program the respective entry into the second box only; do

not program the first box. To select a time greater than 15 seconds, 15 minutes, 15 hours or 15 days, program both boxes as follows:

1. For the feature selected, choose an appropriate time in units shown (all seconds, minutes, hours, or days — not minutes and

seconds, etc.).

2. Divide the time chosen by 16. Enter the quotient in the 1st BOX and the remainder in the 2nd BOX.

3. Check entries by adding the contents of the 2nd BOX to 16 times the contents of the 1st BOX. (Remember that a “zero” entry

represents 10.)

Example. Program Entry Delay 1 for 1 minutes.

1. Entry Delay 1 is in units of seconds, thus delay time is 90 seconds.

2. Divide by 16: 90/16 = 5 (quotient) + 10 (remainder).

3. Enter the quotient in the 1st BOX and the remainder in the 2nd BOX

To use TouchTone on the first attempt with subsequent Rotary dial, program TouchTone Dialing with Rotary Backup. TouchTone Dialing Only will override TouchTone Dialing with Rotary Backup if both are selected. Note that if Backup Reporting is also selected, the communicator will alternate between TouchTone and rotary dial to reach Telephone 1, then Telephone 2. See Backup Report on Telco 2.

Up to eight groups of at least two zones each can be “AND”ed, wherein the system will go into alarm only if any two zones of the group are tripped within a prescribed time. This feature is designed to afford redundant protection for devices, such as glassbreak detectors, PIRs, etc., that may show a tendency to false under certain conditions. Program each group for any number of Zones 1–96. All zones in any group must be within the same area. Do not mix 24-Hour Zones and non-24-Hour Zones within the same group. Do not include a Panic Zone as part of any group.

Any zone that is bypassed or goes into swinger shutdown will automatically disable Zone Anding for the entire group.

Note:

If Enable Local Alarm on First Zone “AND” Trip is programmed, a trip on any zone of the group will cause an alarm indication at the keypad only; there will be no communication to the central station.

In case of defect, contact the security professional who installed and maintains your security system. In order to exercise the warranty, the product must be returned by the security professional, shipping costs prepaid and insured to NAPCO. After repair or replacement, NAPCO assumes the cost of returning products under warranty. NAPCO shall have no obligation under this warranty, or otherwise, if the product has been repaired by others, improperly installed, improperly used, abused, altered, damaged, subjected to accident, nuisance, flood, fire or acts of God, or on which any serial numbers have been altered, defaced or removed. NAPCO will not be responsible for any dismantling, reassembly or reinstallation charges.

This warranty contains the entire warranty. It is the sole warranty and any prior agreements or representations, whether oral or written, are either merged herein or are 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 excess of NAPCO's original selling price of the product, for any loss or damage, whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise arising out of any failure of the product.

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.
