The new "K Series" models offer the new STAY and AWAY buttons with simplified functionality, along with the new MENU and ENTER buttons.
Basic Zone Configuration ........16 Expanded Zone Configuration ......16 Refer to accompanying GEM-P9600 Programming Instructions (WI777 and WI1185) for programming information. NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE INTENDED AND WRITTEN FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION PERSONNEL HAVING SUITABLE TRAINING, EXPERIENCE AND INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT AFTER PROGRAMMING, THE ERROR CHECK UTILITY OF THE PCD3000 (OR PCD-WINDOWS) DOWNLOADER SOFTWARE BE USED TO VERIFY THAT THE CONTROL PANEL PRO- GRAM CONTAINS NO ERRORS OR CONFLICTS WHICH MAY INHIBIT ITS INTENDED OPERATION.
GEM-P9600M The standard GEM-P9600 may be converted to the Mercantile “GEM-P9600M” version with the optional accessory, H1217.

Then, using hardware suitable for the mounting surface, add one or two screws at the right side of the keypad case directly into the wall to ensure a secure installation. Note: Do not overtighten the screws! Uneven walls may cause the keypad case to distort. NAPCO Security Systems GEM-P9600 Installation Instructions...
CAUTION: Do not run telephone wiring near speaker wires; do not run keypad wiring with loop wiring. Adding Expansion Zones GEM-P9600 Series control panels will handle up to 8 zones as is, however this number may be increased to as many as 96 programmable zones using optional expansion zone modules (EZMs).
In addition to Grade-B Requirements (above), one relay on the RM3008 must be programmed to trip the Ademco 7720 when the telephone line fails. Daily openings and closings are required to be transmitted by the Napco panel along with the 24-hour DACT test signal and DACT trouble conditions.

(2 LINE LCD KEYPAD) The GEM-P9600 Control Panel may be expanded up to 96 zones. This may be accomplished by adding 88 zones to the basic 8 zone configuration. Hardwired zone expanders include: GEM-EZM4 (4 additonal zones per module), GEM- EZM8 (8 additional zones per module) and GEM-RP1CAe2 Keypad (4 additional zones per keypad).
4-WIRE SMOKE DETECTOR WIRING ( - ) The GEM-P9600 can use conventional 12 VDC 4-wire smoke detectors. To use them, the select fire zone programming option and do not select 2-wire smoke detector pro- gramming option for the desired fire zone (refer to the GEM-P9600 Programming In- structions).
This line should not be connected to party lines or coin operated telephones. If connected to a line with call waiting, then call waiting interrupt numbers must be programmed into the CS Telephone Numbers (refer to the GEM-P9600 Programming Instructions).

Note: A signal strength of 3 or less is an indication that reception may be unreliable. In such cases, the use of an additional receiver located closer to the transmitter is recommended. If two receivers are connected to the GEM-P9600, only the higher signal strength of the two will be displayed.
