Wiring

Wire keypad(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 wiring with loop wiring.

Adding Expansion Zones

GEM-P1664 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 GEM-P1664 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 keypad 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).

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

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)

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 area. 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.

The User Program Code is not to be given to anyone except the authority responsible for all partitions.
