SYSTEM PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
INTRODUCTION
The GEM-P3200 control panel may be programmed by various means, each of which will be covered in detail in the sections that follow. Keypad displays shown are for a GEM-K1CA (v.8), the recommended keypad for programming.
Downloading From a Computer. This is the preferred method of programming. The panel may be downloaded from (or uploaded to) an IBM PC-compatible computer, either locally or remotely. Napco's PCD3000 and PCD Windows Quickloader software feature context-sensitive help screens as well as an error-checking utility that prevents programming of incompatible or conflicting data to ensure proper panel operation. Note: Unattended downloading from a computer is not allowed for Fire Alarm or UL installations.
Easy Menu-Driven Program (Dealer Program) Mode - Keypad Programming. The Easy Menu-Driven Program Mode allows keypad programming of number of zones in Area 1 and 2, number of fire zones (both 4-wire and 2-wire), local or Central Station reporting, number of exit/entry zones, number of interior zones, number of 24 hour zones, number of chime zones, Chime 2 zones, Exit/Entry2 zones, 50ms loop response zones (Note: 750mS is required for Loop Response time in UL installations), aux output activated on alarm zones, sensor watch zones, key- pad sounder on alarm zones, auto bypass re-entry zones, EOLR zones, number of keypads in Area 1 and 2, Central Station telephone number, Central Station account number, Central Station receiver format, User Codes, RF trans- mitter points, RF keyfob transmitters, zone descriptions, date/time, dealer code, Telco line fault test, Burg output chirp on keyfob, keypad time/date display, enable CP-01 programming, and clear dealer program/cold start. For new pan- els, a custom default program may be created at the keypad. A menu-driven utility prompts the installer to configure the system. Further detailed customization is accomplished in the Direct Address Program Mode.
Direct Address (Dealer Program) Program Mode - Keypad Programming. The Direct Address Pro- gram Mode is an extension of the Dealer Program Mode wherein data is entered at the keypad by location. This mode is accessed from the Easy Menu Driven Program Mode by pressing the Cbutton at any time.
User Program Mode - Keypad Programming. The User Program Mode is intended for authorized users and is limited to keypad programming of User Codes, Time, Date and Zone Descriptions.
DOWNLOADING FROM A COMPUTER
The control-panel program may be downloaded from the computer by any of the following methods.
Local Downloading (Note: This procedure should be used after installation, after peripheral devices are connected).
For direct high-speed data transfer to the control panel from a desktop computer, connect the download jack (JP2) on the panel to the LOCAL jack (J3) on the Napco PCI2000/3000 computer interface using the supplied 6- conductor cable. (Refer to PCI2000/3000 Installation Instructions WI443 for wiring diagram and procedures).
Similarly, a high-speed local download may be made in the field using a notebook or laptop computer. Connect JP2 on the control panel to a Napco PCI-MINI computer interface using the 6-conductor cable supplied. (Refer to PCI-MINI Installation Instructions WI767).
Remote Downloading
(Also see PCI2000/3000 Installation Instructions WI443).
Function Mode
Start by establishing a telco connection between the computer operator and the installer. During this procedure, voice contact will be lost, therefore both the installer and the computer operator should be familiar with the opera- tion. When a steady high-pitched tone is heard at the site phone, access the “ACTIVATE DOWNLOAD” Function (see
Keypad Programming Modes), then press the Jor Ubutton or the NEXT/YES button; the site phone will go dead. Hang up the phone and wait for a call from the central station confirming a successful download.
Callback Method
An installed, unattended panel may be programmed or reprogrammed remotely using the Callback-Method Download feature of the PCD-Windows Quickloader software. Remote downloading requires a modem compatible with the PCI2000/3000. Upon answering the call from the computer, the panel will verify the Download Security Code and, if confirmed, will establish a connection. If a Callback Number is programmed into the panel, the panel will automatically disconnect and call the computer at this number before establishing a connection.
