INTRODUCTION

The GEM-DXRP1 is a “smart” user- friendly, interactive menu-driven keypad designed for your Napco control panel. Its alphanumeric screen will not only display the status of your system, but will also give you step-by-step instructions to guide you through all operations.

This booklet contains important information about the operation of your system with this GEM-DXRP1 Keypad. Read it carefully and keep it handy for

future reference. Check the Glossary for an explanation of terms that may be unfamiliar to you.

You'll probably find subjects mentioned in this booklet that do not apply to your system. Napco control panels have such a wide variety of features that few security systems, if any, will ever need them all. Your alarm professional has chosen appropriate features for your particular needs.

IMPORTANT - TEST YOUR SYSTEM WEEKLY

• If the battery is low, “LOW BATTERY E02-00 SERVICE” will appear

in the display indicating a low battery condition. Allow 24 hours for the battery to recharge. If the trouble continues, call for service.

Regardless of how your system has been configured, rest assured that it has been carefully designed and engineered to the highest industry standards. To assure optimum safety and security, familiarize yourself with this equipment. Periodically check its condition and state of readiness by testing it at least once a week in both the ac/battery and battery-only modes (ask your alarm professional how to make these tests).

Bypassing Interior Zones

nterior Zones, when bypassed, allow free movement within the home while the

protection of armed perimeter zones is maintained. To bypass Interior Zones, press

E and enter your User Code followed by D.

YES NO)

• Press E twice followed by D to Bypass Interior Group 2: [ ______________________________ ] (GEM-P9600 Only)

• Press E three times followed by D to Bypass both Interior Groups 1 & 2.

Automatic Interior Bypass (Optional - Automatic Interior Bypass programmed? YES NO)

Your system may have been programmed for Automatic Interior Bypass, which allows it to recognize that you have armed the system and remained in the house, prompting it to automatically adjust the interior protection accordingly.

• If you arm the system and remain in the house, all Interior Zones are automatically bypassed. The keypad will display

“BYPASSED” indicating that it is safe to move about.

• If the system is armed and you leave, the Interior Zones will unbypass, providing complete interior protection.

SYSTEM ARMED I

to arming, or at any time after the system is armed. When armed with Instant Protection opening the entry door will cause an immediate alarm.

• When arming with Instant Protection, the exit delay will remain in effect, allowing exit of the house just after arming. While

armed, the window will display “SYSTEM ARMED” (“SYSTEM ARMED I” will display with the GEM-P9600/3200) and the red ARMED light will flicker rapidly to indicate instant protection.

Instant Protection

When retiring for the evening, after all family members are home, you can cancel the entry delay on the Entry Zone(s). To arm with instant protection, press

F just prior

PROTECTING YOURSELF WHILE ON THE PREMISES

Easy Exit (Optional - Easy Exit programmed? YES NO)

Your system may have been programmed for Easy Exit, which allows a user to exit the premises while the system is armed. By activating Easy Exit while the system is armed, the Exit Delay countdown will take place, during which time you are permitted to leave through the exit door. The Easy Exit Delay time will be identical to the Exit Delay time the system gives you each time it is armed. This will allow, for example, an early morning commuter to exit the house, without having to disarm and rearm the system, awaking the family.

 Press E to activate Easy Exit on your system. (GEM-P3200/GEM-P9600 V11D or less, GEM-P1632 V8G or less)  Press D to activate Easy Exit on your system. (GEM-P3200/GEM-P9600 V20 or greater, GEM-P816/P1632 V9A or greater)

system has been disarmed. If you enter an invalid code, the keypad will beep 4 times, signifying an error. Re-enter your code immediately. 10 seconds before Entry Delay expires, the keypad will emit a pulsing warning tone.

Alarm Indication / Silencing an Alarm

If the red ARMED light is flashing and “ALARM” is displayed, an alarm occurred while you were out. Proceed with caution! If you suspect that an intruder may still be on the premises, leave immediately and call authorities from a neighbor's phone.

To silence an audible alarm:

1 Enter your code and press J. After the system is disarmed, the window will continue

to display “ALARM” followed by the zone(s) violated.

03 - LIVING ROOM

2 To reset the display, note the zones violated, then press C.

Ambush (Optional) Your Ambush Code Type is: TYPE 1 (Prefix) TYPE 2 (Unique)

My Ambush Code is ___________________

If an intruder forces you to disarm your system, enter your Ambush Code and press

J. There are two types of Ambush Codes:

(1) A 2-digit code (prefix) entered just prior to your normal User Code and (2) A separate and unique User Code.

Example Type 1 (Prefix): If your User Code is 1234 and your Ambush Code is 99, press 991234J. Example Type 2 (Unique): If your User Code is 1234 and your Ambush Code is 8899, press 8899J

Using your Ambush Code will send a silent alarm to the central station. The red ARMED light will go out and the window will display “SYSTEM READY” as if the system were normally disarmed. There will be no indication that a silent alarm has been sent.

FIRE PROTECTION

Preparing a Fire Escape Plan

Even with the most advanced fire alarm system, adequate protection requires an escape plan.

To prepare your plan, draw floor plans of your building. (Space is provided on the next page). Show two exits - a front or back door and a window from each room. (Make sure the window works. You may need a special fire-escape ladder if the window is high up). Write down your outside meeting place.

Family Rehearsal. Rehearse each of the following activities:

1. Everyone in his room with the doors closed.

2. One person sounds the alarm.

3. Each person tests his door.

4. Pretend the door is hot and use the alternate escape exit.

5. Everyone meets outdoors at the assigned spot.

Important! - Read Carefully

Discuss these escape procedures with all

those who use the building:

1. In a residence, sleep with the bedroom door closed. A closed door will hold back deadly smoke while you escape.

2. When the fire alarm signals, escape quickly. Do not stop to pack.

3. Test the door. If it is hot, use your alternate route through the window. If the door is cool, brace your shoulder

against it and open it cautiously. Be ready to slam the door if smoke or heat rushes in. Crawl through smoke, holding your breath. Close the doors again on leaving to help prevent the fire from spreading.

4. Go to your specific outdoor meeting place so you can see that everyone is safe.

5. Assign someone to make sure nobody returns to the burning building.

6. Call the Fire Department from a neighbor's telephone.
