The GEM-TRANSLP is a low profile window/door transmitter
designed for use in Napco GEM-series wireless systems. When
used with the supplied magnet, the transmitter functions as a window/
door sensor. However, plug-in wires are provided for normally-closed
external contacts so that additional devices may be used in conjunc-
tion with (or instead of) the internal reed switch. A jumper is provided
allowing optional use of normally-closed external contact (s) and/or
internal reed switch.
The GEM-TRANSLP is powered by a 3-volt lithium battery (Energizer
CR2032 or Duracell DL2032), that powers the transmitter for up to 5
years. When battery voltage drops below normal, a low-battery report
will be sent to the receiver.

INSTALLATION

Notes: The transmitter and magnet may be mounted in any position
with no degradation in performance. Thus, if a left-handed reed
switch is required, the unit may be mounted upside down. However,
for reference purposes in this text, the transmitter will be considered
oriented with the reed switch at the top, as shown in Fig. 1. The PC
board is factory installed in the transmitter front cover and must not
be removed. A raised alignment mark on the transmitter front cover
indicates the location of the reed switch on the PC board. There is
also an alignment mark on the plastic magnet housing.
1. Open the case. Remove the GEM-TRANSLP transmitter cover
from its mounting plate by inserting a small screwdriver into either
slot; twist while applying upward pressure. See Fig. 2.
2. Insert the battery. Observe battery polarity. Slide battery under
the two gold contacts with the positive (+) terminal facing up and
press into holder (see Fig. 3). Do not insert backwards.
3. Select transmitter location. Avoid mounting the transmitter near
the floor. Low level mounting can reduce transmission range and
may subject the transmitter to damage.
4. Install transmitter mounting plate and magnet. Use #6 flat-
head screws or double-sided tape (supplied) to secure. If using
internal magnetic reed switch, observe reed switch alignment
marks on both the transmitter cover and magnet housing. Mount

distinguishes itself to the receiver. Enter (a) the zone number to
which the transmitter will be mapped; (b) the 6-digit ID code with
checksum digit; and (c) the wireless point number. See control-
panel instructions for entering this ID code and checksum digit into
the panel; be sure to enter all numbers and/or letters, including
leading zeros, if any. Note: Program for "point 1" for all wiring
options. Note: In UL burglary installations, program the burglary
alarm output for all protective devices.
