INTRODUCTION

The GEM-K4 and GEM-K4RF are

“smart”, interactive, menu-driven keypads designed for your Napco control panel. Each has a digital display to show the status of your system.

This booklet contains important information about the operation of your system with your 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.

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).

The GEM-K4 panel is designed to cater to the needs of both residential and commercial applications, offering a blend of reliability, flexibility, and ease of use.

At the core of the GEM-K4 system is its user-friendly interface, which features a clear 32-character display and an intuitive keypad. Users can easily manage their security system with simple commands, allowing for quick access to essential functions. The panel supports up to 64 zones, accommodating a wide range of sensors and detectors, making it suitable for a variety of settings.

The GEM-K4RF version includes the added benefit of wireless technology, enabling security professionals to install the system with less disruption to existing structures.

This connectivity ensures that users receive prompt notifications and responses in case of alarms or system status updates.

Another significant characteristic of the GEM-K4 and GEM-K4RF systems is their programmability. Users can customize settings through the panel’s programming options or remotely via a compatible application. This allows for tailored functionality according to specific security needs, such as setting schedules for arming or disarming the system and configuring reports for events.

The durability and reliability of the GEM-K4 series are enhanced by its ability to support backup power systems, ensuring that the security features remain operational during power outages. This critical feature is essential for maintaining the safety and security of monitored assets.
