3. Restore the wireless point (close the loop). When restored, the keypad will beep once regardless of signal strength.
Note: With the GEM-K4RF keypad, signal strength is not displayed but is annunciated by beeps as per the above table.
For installations that include several transmitters, multiple receivers may be connected to the panel. (Only the highest
signal strength will be displayed). Note: When using the Fault-Find Mode on wireless zones, the keypad will beep when
the zone is opened or closed only if the signal strength of the transmitter is 3 or greater. Signal strengths less than 3 will
be entered into the system log (except in the Fault-Find Mode).
Testing Wireless Signal Strength with GEM-P9600/P3200 Panels:
Note: You MUST use a GEM-K1CA keypad (a GEM-K4RF is not capable of displaying signal strength and will not
beep): First, fault a point of each transmitter to be tested by faulting the zone. The transmitter signal strength can be
displayed (no beeps) using the DISPLAY RF XMITTER STAT function (enter a Level 3 User Code or enter the Dealer
Code, press the
R
the Wireless Signal Strength of the wireless zone will be displayed. The Wireless Signal Strength will be displayed from
1 to 10 with 10 being the strongest signal and any signal under 3 as unacceptable. Except in the Fault-Find Mode, sig-
nal strengths less than 3 will be entered into the system log. Press NEXT (
transmitted signal strength for each zone is stored in the panel, and will be displayed in this mode. To view the signal
strength for each zone, scroll through the zones using the NEXT (
WIRELESS SYSTEM TROUBLES
The following system-trouble codes displayed at the keypad(s) are related to wireless operation.
Transmitter Troubles
Note: Also displayed with the transmitter trouble code are the zone number ("NN") to which Point 1 is mapped and the
transmitter's identification number.
WI LOBATT - E05-NN. Transmitter low battery. Note: If all transmitters were installed at the same time, it is rec-
ommended to replace all transmitter batteries to avoid service callbacks.
LOBATT KEYFOB - E18-NN. Key Fob transmitter low battery.
WL TRBL - E04-NN. Supervisory failure. indicates that a transmitter has not "checked in" within the programmed
timeout. Check the transmitter for a dead battery (see note above). Also, check for an object in the path of the
transmitter blocking reception.
WL TAMPER - E15-NN. Tamper condition indicates that a transmitter case is open . Re-install cover
Receiver Troubles
Note: Also displayed with the receiver trouble code is the receiver number ("NN").
RF REC JAMMED - E16-NN. Transmitter interference from nearby radio-frequency source.
RF REC RES TRBL - E06-NN.
Check the wiring between the receiver and the panel.
RF REC TAMPER - El 7-NN. Receiver open. Install cover.

LED INDICATIONS

Note: The LED's are located on the back of the keypad, centered on the printed circuit board on top. DS2 is on the left
and DS10 is on the right.
Red LED (DS10)
RED LED
OFF No Power
ON Powered, but not communicating with panel
FLASHING Powered, properly communicating with panel
Green LED (DS2)
The green LED will flash while receiving a transmission having a signal strength of 4 or greater, indicating a signal of
sufficient strength. Caution: A green LED display with no transmitter in operation is a sign of high ambient RF inter-
ference. If the green LED remains lit continuously, relocate the receiver.
