CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS EDITION
The following changes have been made to this manual (WI1093C) since the last edition (WI1093B).
This version of the manual reflects the addition of two new NAPCO products:
• The Access Control system (ACM), which provides integrated access control to the burglary alarm functions of the
GEM-X255 control panel.
• The NAPCO NetLink™ system that allows the reporting of alarms over a TCP/IP based (Intranet or Internet) net-
work.
Page 30, new Keypad messages (System Troubles) added to accommodate the new ACM and NetLink™ systems.

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/GEM-K1CA 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(s).
Opening Suppression and Closing Suppression, available through Napco Quickloader software, suppress reporting
within programmed “windows of time”. Conversely, Exception Reporting can transmit a “fail to close report” if the panel
is not armed within programmed intervals and, similarly, a “fail to open report” if the panel is not disarmed within programmed intervals of time. Furthermore, the panel can be programmed to automatically arm either area at any time. A
log containing up to 800 events (accessible through Quickloader
a precision real-time 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 system
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 PCDWindows Quickloader software and PCI2000 computer interface. Or, the panel may be programmed using the keypad in
its secondary mode of operation. In 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 195
user codes and custom zone descriptions.
GEM-X255M
The standard GEM-X255 may be converted to the Mercantile “GEM-X255M” version with the optional H1217 accessory.
The H1217 kit includes the model H217 heavy-duty UL commercial enclosure, two tamper switches and tamper screws.

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.
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.
INSTALLATION
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.
one 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.
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. Note: (1) The keypad fire and panic keys should not be
considered a substitute for a listed manual initiating device, such as a pull box. (2) Each GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA
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.
cause the keypad case to distort.
Each tamper switch is furnished with three machine screws for mounting, and

Do not overtighten the screws! Uneven walls may

Wire keypad(s), zones, expansion zone modules and output devices as shown on the Wiring Diagram. Note that the
Wiring Diagram contains important information not available elsewhere in this manual.
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
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.
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).
(NOT EVALUATED BY U.L. FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS)
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, at-
tics, 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.
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.
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, 24Hour Zones may be used. Any zone protecting the control panel and
transformer may not be programmed for bypass.
The sounding device must be placed such that the bell test can be

UL COMMERCIAL-BURGLARY INSTALLATIONS
The GEM-X255M can be used as part of a UL Central
Station Grade C, B, or A installation. Normally, a digital
communicator is classified as Grade C and may be classified Grade B if used with the specified Grade-A Local bell
and bell housing. A UL Central Station Grade-A installation requires the use of a Napco RM3008 Relay Board
and Ademco 7720 Radio System. Refer to the installation
instructions furnished with each component for respective
installation requirements.
For a UL Commercial Grade-A Police Station Connection,
refer to GRADE-A LOCAL MERCANTILE INSTALLATIONS, which follows. Use the M278 Line-Reversal
Monitor to provide basic line security; refer to the instructions accompanying the M278 for other installation requirements. For UL Commercial safe and vault applications, use a UL-listed shock sensor suitable for metal enclosures. Install tamper switches on front and rear of control-panel enclosure.
Grade-A Local Mercantile Installations
A Grade-A Local Mercantile installation must use at least
a 6.0AH standby battery. Programming must include
Auto Bell Test on Arming. Trouble on Night Open may
not be programmed for any zone. The minimum requirements for a listed Grade-A Local system include:
Low-Battery Annunciation.
•
An Ademco AB-12 Bell and Box (12-volt).
•
• Program Auto Bell Test on Arming.
• A maximum Entrance and Exit Delay of 60 seconds.
Interfacing to the Ademco 7720 Long-Range Wireless System
INSTALLATION
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
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, 24hour 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
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.
