Napco's Freedom F-64 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 64 zones with the use of zone doubling, optional zone expansion
modules, wireless receiver modules and/or Freedom 64 Touchpads. Each panel includes an integral digital communicator.
The F-64 panel operates with the NAPCO Freedom 64 Touchpads, providing a complete Deadbolt-Activated Home Protection
System that combines intuitive interactive arming with passive disarming. The Touchpads provide a system which is not only
effortless to use, but also 100% false alarm resistant during the critical arming and disarming sequences. See WI1499 for
more information about the Freedom Touchpads.
The control panel features programmable area partitioning. That is, the system may be divided into up to 4 discrete multiplezone areas, each allowing access by only those users programmed for their respective area.
Opening Suppression and Closing Suppression, available through Napco 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 400 events (accessible through
Quickloader
be displayed at the computer, using Napco’s PCD-Windows Quickloader Software.
Touchpads feature a liquid-crystal display for messages. In normal use, the LCD shows zone identification and status
messages, and the log can also be viewed. 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 F-64PROG programmer. In the 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 64 user codes and custom zone
descriptions. NOTE: Failure to install and program as described in this manual for UL Listed systems voids the Listing Mark of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.

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 /
Touchpad 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 to a metal cold-water pipe or a long steel (or copper) ground rod driven
deeply into the earth. Do not use a gas pipe, plastic pipe or AC ground connections. Use at least 16-gauge wire.
Make the run as short and direct as possible, without any sharp bends in the wire.
F-64PROG Programmer
Mounting
For complete programming, the F-64PROG can be used. To simplify programming, the connector used to wire the F64TPTouchpad to the system buss can also be used with the F-64PROG. To program, first swap the Touchpad for a
F-64PROG programmer, then set the panel jumper from "Normal" to "Configuration". See WI1502 for complete panel
programming information.
For normal use, a maximum of 4 Touchpads (of any type) and up to 3 additional Gemini "K Series" keypads may be
permanently added to the system. Touchpads should be located near each exit/entry door. Before mounting the
Touchpad 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 Touchpad until it snaps into place. Once installed, the Sliding Label Plate cannot be
removed without first removing the Touchpad from the wall. Note: (1) The Touchpad fire and panic keys should not be
considered a substitute for a listed manual initiating device, such as a pull box. (2) Each Touchpad includes provisions
for four additional zones. See ADDING EXPANSION ZONES.
If installing the 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 Touchpad vertically and tighten
the screws. Then, using hardware suitable for the mounting surface, add one or two screws at the right side of the
Touchpad case directly into the wall to ensure a secure installation. Note: Do not overtighten the screws! Uneven
walls may cause the Touchpad case to distort. See WI1499 for more information about installing an F-64TP Touchpad.

Wiring
Wire Touchpad(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 / Touchpad wiring with loop wiring.
Adding Expansion Zones
The F-64 control panel can support up to 16 zones as is, however this number may be increased to as many as 64
programmable zones using optional expansion zone modules (EZMs).
Wireless Systems
With the addition of at least one GEM-RECV series receiver, the F-64 will support up to 64 wireless transmitters. The
panel can accommodate one or two 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 Touchpad 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).
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.
TYPICAL PARTITIONED INSTALLATION
(4 Partitions Available) The system supports (4) areas but only areas 1 and 2
support Touchpads. In addition, Touchpads can only control the area to which
they are assigned.
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
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 system.
All areas must be owned and managed by the same person(s).
All 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 impinge upon the
other areas. 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.
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.
Program Code is not to be given to anyone except the authority responsible for all partitions.

TESTING THE SYSTEM
After installation is completed, test the system as follows.
1. Call the central station to inform them of the test.
2. Initiate an alarm, preferably on a zone that activates a steady siren, and verify proper signalling.
3. Call the central station to confirm their receipt of a good transmission.
Note: Be sure to test all enabled Touchpad panics.
Signal Strength Testing/Wireless Systems
To test the operation of wireless transmitters, proceed as follows.
1. Enter the Fault-Find mode. (See Touchpad Menu Mode in WI1502. Panel must be disarmed).
2. Fault a point of the transmitter to be tested by opening the loop. If the signal strength of the
transmitter is 3 or greater, the Touchpad will beep, as follows:
Signal Power Beeps
0-2 0
3 1
4-5 2
6-7 3
8-10 4
WI1501A 9/06
3. Restore the wireless point (close the loop).
The transmitter signal strength will be displayed on a scale of 3-10 with 3 considered marginal and 10
considered excellent. Note that if the signal strength is less than 3, the Touchpad will not beep and the
strength will not be displayed. Except in the Fault-Find mode, signal strengths less than 3 will be entered
into the system log. Upon zone restore, the Touchpad will beep once.

BASIC ZONE CONFIGURATION
(–)
include Zone Type (Entry/Exit, Interior, 24 Hour Protection, Trouble and Fire), Instant, Chime, Area Selection and
PGM Output selection. Additional expansion zone modules or wireless sensor transmitters/receivers can be used
to obtain zones numbered 9 through 32.
The basic zone configuration for the F-64 Panel is 8
zones. Connect as shown above to terminals 13-24.
Normally Closed (N.C.) devices may be wired in series
or Normally Open (N.O.) devices may be wired in
parallel. Use the 2.2K Ohm end-of-line (E.O.L.) resistor
in each zone, if selected in programming (refer to the F64 Programming Instructions WI1502). Zones 1-8 can
be selected for a “Fast Loop Response (50 ms)” or a
“Normal Loop Response (750 ms)”. Other zone options
EZ ZONE DOUBLINGTM CONFIGURATION
If Normally open zones for fire or panic devices are required, then the lower zone (2.2K EOL resistor) must be used
and the higher zone (3.9K EOL resistor) must not be programmed for any area. Additional expansion zone
modules or wireless sensor transmitters/receivers can be used to obtain zones numbered 9 through 32
The control panel zone configuration may be expanded
from 8 to 16 zones without the use of EZM Modules. To
do so simply select “EZ Zone Doubling” in programming
(refer to the F-64 Panel Programming Instructions WI1502)
and connect zones as shown above. NOTE: If both zones
in a zone-pair configuration (ex: zones 1 & 9 in the above
diagrams) are to be used, then normally closed devices
must be wired to both zones. The 3.9K EOL resistor must
be placed at the end of the loop of the higher zone and the
2.2K EOL resistor must be placed at the end of the loop of
the lower zone.
Wiring Connections: Basic Zone Configuration & EZ Zone Doubling Configuration
WARNING: Assigning a fire zone or keyswitch zones to a zone doubled will disable the respective complimentary
zone. For example, if zone 8 is assigned as a fire zone, it will disable zone 16. If zone 3 is assigned as a fire zone, it
