Advanced Features

Security Bypass/Unbypass (Security Bypass programmed? !YES !NO).

In high-security applications, zones may be bypassed (or unbypassed) only if a valid code is entered first, as follows:

1.Enter a User Code valid for bypass, then press B. The display will read * BYPASS ENABLED *

2.Press Bthen the zone number (or vice versa) to deactivate that zone.

Similarly, a bypassed zone may be unbypassed using the same procedure.

Start Exit Time After Ringback (for Commercial Burglary Systems only)

(Optional - Start Exit Time programmed? !YES !NO).

If your system reports to a central station, your panel may have been programmed to start exit delay after the central-station ringback (verification) signal. Then, after arming, your system will communicate to the central station. After the central station acknowledges receipt (ringback), exit delay will start. If ringback is not heard within about 30 seconds, a communication problem may exist; call for service. Function 11 (Start Exit Time) may then be used to manually start the exit delay, however reporting capability may be sacrificed. (If your system does not report or the ringback feature was not programmed, exit delay will start as soon as your code is entered. Also note that if an exception window is programmed, and the closing is within that window, no ringback is provided. Ask your alarm professional if this feature is enabled.)

Exit-Delay Restart (Exit-Delay Restart programmed? !YES !NO).

On arming, the programmed exit delay will start. After the exit door has been opened and then closed, exit delay will change to 60 seconds. Thus, a long exit delay may be programmed, which will immediately be reduced to 60 seconds upon exiting. If re-entry occurs during that 60 seconds, exit delay will restart once again (and only once again) at 60 seconds. If so programmed, re-entry within 60 seconds after exit delay has expired, will cause the alarm to sound a 2-second warning (in addition to the entry sounder) to remind the user to disarm.

GEM-X255 specifications

Napco Security Technologies has introduced the GEM-X255, a versatile and feature-rich control panel designed for both residential and commercial security applications. This advanced panel integrates multiple technologies to enhance security, streamline monitoring, and provide ease of use for both installers and end-users.

One of the standout features of the GEM-X255 is its ability to support a wide range of security devices. With up to 255 zones, the panel allows for extensive coverage, ensuring that every corner of a property can be monitored effectively. This scalability makes it an ideal choice for various applications, from small homes to larger commercial facilities.

The GEM-X255 utilizes both hardwired and wireless technologies, providing flexibility in installation. It can accommodate the latest security sensors, including motion detectors, door/window sensors, and glass break detectors, enabling users to tailor their security systems to meet specific needs. The panel supports popular wireless protocols, making it easier to expand the system with additional sensors without the hassle of wiring.

In terms of communication, the GEM-X255 features built-in IP communication capabilities, allowing users to connect to monitoring services and receive real-time alerts via smartphone apps. This ensures that users remain informed about their security status, even when they are away from the property. The clarity of these alerts is enhanced through its advanced notification system, which can deliver text messages and push notifications.

The GEM-X255 is designed with user experience in mind. It offers an intuitive user interface, complete with a backlit keypad for easy operation, even in low light conditions. The system also supports user codes, enabling multiple users to access the system securely while allowing the primary user to manage permissions efficiently.

An important aspect of the GEM-X255 is its robust automation capabilities. It can be programmed to control lights, locks, and other appliances, enhancing security while contributing to energy management. This integration of security and automation fosters a smarter home or business environment.

In summary, Napco Security Technologies' GEM-X255 combines innovative technology, extensive coverage, and user-friendly features to create a reliable security solution. Its adaptability to both wired and wireless devices, alongside robust communication capabilities, make it an invaluable asset for securing properties of any size. As security needs evolve, the GEM-X255 stands out as a modern control panel ready to meet the challenges of today and beyond.
