GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The GEM-PX is a NAPCO proprietary proximity card reader
which combines with the GEM-PXCV cover to provide com-
plete system status using indicator LED's. The GEM-PX
reader can only be used with GEM 36-bit proprietary prox-
imity cards. The GEM-PX reader consists of the proximity
reader module, which is fully encapsulated in weather resis-
tant potting and the snap on GEM-PXCV cover which
houses additional LED's. The multicolored LED on the
GEM-PX provides standard visual feedback as to access
condition (door "locked" or "unlocked"), and the additional
LED's in the GEM-PXCV cover provide feedback as to sys-
tem condition (system "armed" or "disarmed"). Together,
the GEM-PX and GEM-PXCV is an indoor/outdoor prox-
imity card reader providing potted electronics, low power
consumption and durability all in a small, easy to install
package.

SPECIFICATIONS

12V Nominal, 50mA standby current.

Before mounting the card reader, always plan ahead and deter-
mine the route all wires will follow before drilling into wall mount-
ing surfaces. For more information regarding various system
designs, refer to WI1121 for complete installation instructions.
Install the GEM-PX as follows:
1. Determine mounting location.
(Figure 1) and a pencil, lightly mark the location of the two
mounting holes and the two wire feed holes.
2. Route the Reader Wires. The minimum number of wires
required to activate the reader are displayed in Table 3.
Determine which wires will be needed and plan how these
wires will be accessed from behind the mounting location.
3. Install dry wall mounting hardware. Use hardware such
as molly bolts, toggle bolts or other anchoring devices.
Drill the smallest hole needed for the device. Warning:
Use caution when drilling holes--there may be high voltage
wiring in wall.
4. Drill wire feed holes. Minimum size for the top feed hole
