The GEM-TRANSLP is a low profile window/door transmitter

designed for use in Napco GEM-series wireless systems. When
used with the supplied magnet, the transmitter functions as a window/
door sensor. However, plug-in wires are provided for normally-closed
external contacts so that additional devices may be used in conjunc-
tion with (or instead of) the internal reed switch. A jumper is provided
allowing optional use of normally-closed external contact
internal reed switch.

The GEM-TRANSLP is powered by a 3-volt lithium battery (Energizer

CR2032 or Duracell DL2032), that powers the transmitter for up to 5
years. When battery voltage drops below normal, a low-battery report
will be sent to the receiver.

INSTALLATION

Notes: The transmitter and magnet may be mounted in any position

with no degradation in performance. Thus, if a left-handed reed
switch is required, the unit may be mounted upside down. However,
for reference purposes in this text, the transmitter will be considered
oriented with the reed switch at the top, as shown in Fig. 1. The PC
board is factory installed in the transmitter front cover and must not
be removed. A raised alignment mark on the transmitter front cover
indicates the location of the reed switch on the PC board. There is
also an alignment mark on the plastic magnet housing.

1. Open the case. Remove the GEM-TRANSLP transmitter cover
from its mounting plate by inserting a small screwdriver into either
slot; twist while applying upward pressure. See Fig. 2.

2. Insert the battery. Observe battery polarity. Slide battery under
the two gold contacts with the positive (+) terminal facing up and
press into holder (see Fig. 3). Do not insert backwards.

3. Select transmitter location. Avoid mounting the transmitter near
the floor. Low level mounting can reduce transmission range and
may subject the transmitter to damage.

4. Install transmitter mounting plate and magnet. Use #6 flat-
head screws or double-sided tape (supplied) to secure. If using
internal magnetic reed switch, observe reed switch alignment
marks on both the transmitter cover and magnet housing. Mount

magnet within 5/8" of the transmitter front cover. If only the
internal reed switch is to be used, skip to
Step 6. If mounting the magnet with the dou-
ble-sided tape, mounting plate tabs may be
removed--use a utility knife only--do not
bend (see Fig. 4).

5. (For external contacts only). Mount the
contact or sensor as described in its
instructions. For recessed wiring, carefully
drill an access hole for the wires. Insert wire
plug into receptacle on PC board. Curl wires
inside case to avoid pinching wires (see Fig.

5); connect two wires to an external sensor

having normally-closed contacts (or a normally-closed loop). Set
Jumper J1 to "LOOP".

6. Set Jumper. If using only external contacts, set Jumper J1 to
"LOOP". If using both internal reed switch and external contacts,
remove Jumper J1. If using only
internal reed switch, set Jumper J1 to
"MAG". See table below.

7. Close the transmitter case. Close
case by engaging the retaining tabs
at either end, then snapping the front
cover to the mounting plate. Be care-
ful not to pinch wire harness (if used).

8. Program the panel. Each
transmitter has a unique factory-
programmed ID code that

case to avoid pinching wires

distinguishes itself to the receiver. Enter (a) the zone number to
which the transmitter will be mapped; (b) the 6-digit ID code with
checksum digit; and (c) the wireless point number. See control-
panel instructions for entering this ID code and checksum digit into
the panel; be sure to enter all numbers and/or letters, including
leading zeros, if any. Note: Program for "point 1" for all wiring
options. Note: In UL burglary installations, program the burglary
alarm output for all protective devices.

free from manufacturing defects in ma­terials and workmanship for thirty-six

R

months following the date of manufac­ture. NAPCO will, within said period, at

its option, repair or replace any product
failing to operate correctly without charge to the original pur­chaser or user.

This warranty shall not apply to any equipment, or any
part thereof, which has been repaired by others, improperly
installed, improperly used, abused, altered, damaged, sub­jected to acts of God, or on which any serial numbers have
been altered, defaced or removed. Seller will not be respon­sible for any dismantling or reinstallation charges.

THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IM­PLIED, WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON
THE FACE HEREOF. THERE IS NO EXPRESS OR IM­PLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANT ABILITY OR A WAR­RANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. AD­DITIONALLY, THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL
OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ON THE PART OF
NAPCO.

Any action for breach of warranty, including but not lim­ited to any implied warranty of merchant ability, must be
brought within the six months following the end of the war­ranty period.

IN NO CASE SHALL NAPCO BE LIABLE TO ANYONE
FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES
FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EX­PRESS OR IMPLIED, EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE IS
CAUSED BY THE SELLER'S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR
FAULT.

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 canceled. 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. Seller's warranty, as herein above set
forth, shall not be enlarged, diminished or affected by and no
obligation or liability shall arise or grow out of Seller's render­ing of technical advice or service in connection with Buyer's
order of the goods furnished thereunder.

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.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation. Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by manufacturer could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment. FCC ID: AD8-GEMTRANSLP; IC: 596A-GEMTRANSLP
