INTRODUCTION
The GEM-DXRP2 is a “smart” userfriendly, 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-DXRP2 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
Test your sounding device.

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 batteryonly modes (ask your alarm professional
how to make these tests).
Test your telephone line
(Turn On Telephone Test programmed? YES NO)
1. Notify your Central Station of the impending test.

Area Arming (Optional)
Some systems may be divided, or partitioned, into smaller independent subsystems, which are
referred to as Areas. In a system that has been partitioned into multiple areas, one or more area
may be armed while others remain disarmed. In a multi-area system, the area number will be
indicated by the right-most digit.
Manager's Mode The Manager's Mode, if enabled, provides quick access to other areas without
the system status display. (This is NOT a high-security feature).

Interior Zones, when bypassed, allow free movement within the premises while the protection of
armed perimeter zones is maintained. If
E is pressed, all interior Zones will be bypassed upon
arming.
(OPTIONAL) Some control panels (such as the GEM-P9600) have provisions for TWO groups of Interior Zones. If two groups of zones were
programmed, proceed as follows:

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 bypass
any Interior Zones. In this case, the keypad display will normally show the icon "BYPASSED", except when the system is armed, and the Exit Entry door is opened. At this time those Interior Zones will unbypass, providing complete interior
protection.
Easy Exit (Optional - Available on systems containing Interior Zones).
While the system is armed in the Automatic Interior Bypass state, the Easy Exit option is available. To exit the premises while the system is
armed, press
