INTRODUCTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Napco's Gemini GEM-P1664 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 GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA Keypads. Each panel includes an integral digital communicator.
The control panel features programmable area partitioning. That is, the system may be divided into up to 4 discrete multiple-zone 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 QuickloaderTM software) monitors control-panel activity referenced to a precision real-time clock. A detailed event history may be displayed at the computer, using Napco’s PCD-Windows Quickloader Software.
Keypads 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 keypad in its secondary mode of operation. In the keypad 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.
