Page 5: Introduction
INTRODUCTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION Napco's Gemini GEM-P816 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 16 zones with the use of optional zone expansion modules, wireless receiver modules and/or GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA Keypads. Each panel includes an integral digital communicator.

(in Program Mode) for both keypads. The words "NEXT/YES button" are used in this manual. • The button and the button operate identically (in Program Mode) for both keypads. The words "PRIOR/NO button" are used in this manual. NAPCO Security Systems GEM-P816 Installation Instructions...
Page 7: Specifications
Alarm current can be increased by reducing standby current by the same amount. * Commercial Burglary specifications not evaluated by U.L. RESIDENTIAL FIRE PROGRAMMING OPTION: Refer to GEM-P816 Programming Instructions (WI995 and WI 1182) for programming information. This option changes the operation of the power supply in alarm conditions to optimize performance.

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-P816 Installation Instructions...
Page 11: Wiring
CAUTION: Do not run telephone wiring near speaker wires; do not run keypad wiring with loop wiring. Wireless Systems With the addition of at least one GEM-RECV series receiver, the GEM-P816 will support up to 32 wireless transmitters. The panel can accommodate one or two receivers within the premises, responding to the one with the stronger transmitter signal.

Page 16: Basic Zone Configuration
( - ) The basic zone configuration for the GEM-P816 is 8 zones. Connect as shown above to terminals 13-24. Normally Closed (N.C.) devices may be wired in series or Normally Open (N.O.) devices may be wired in parallel. Use the 2.2K Ohm end-of-line (E.O.L.) resistor in each zone, if selected in programming (refer to the GEM-P816 Programming...
Page 17: 4-Wire Smoke Detectors
Two-wire smoke detectors can only be connected to zones 7 and 8. To use them, select fire zone programming option and select 2-wire smoke detector programming option for the desired fire zone 7 or 8 (refer to the GEM-P816 Programming Instructions) and set JP3 to the “2-WF” position as shown. Connect the 2-wire smoke detectors as shown.
Page 18: Telephone Lines
The Telco Line is used by the control panel to dial the central station and for downloading. 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-P816 Programming Instructions).
