INTRODUCTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

NAPCO's Gemini GEM-P9600 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 96 zones with optional zone expansion modules,
wireless receiver modules and/or GEM-RP1CAe2 Keypads. Each panel includes an integral digital communicator.
The control panel features programmable area partitioning. That is, the system may be divided into up to two discrete
multiple-zone areas, each allowing access by only those users programmed for their respective area.
Opening Suppression and Closing Suppression, available through Napco Quickloader software, suppress reporting within
programmed "windows". Conversely, Exception Reporting can transmit a "fail to close" if the panel is not armed within
programmed intervals and, similarly, a "fail to open" if the panel is not disarmed within programmed intervals.
Furthermore, the panel can be programmed to automatically arm either area at any time. A log containing up to 800
events (accessible through Quickloader
clock. A detailed event history may be displayed at the computer, using NAPCO's PCD3000 Quickloader Software.
Keypads feature a liquid-crystal display for messages. In normal use, the LCD shows zone identification and status
messages. Conventional LEDs and a sounder are also provided for annunciation.
Data may be quickly and easily downloaded to the control panel using a PC-compatible computer with NAPCO's
PCD3000 Quickloader software and PCI2000 computer interface. Or, the panel may be programmed using the keypad in
its secondary mode of operation. In the keypad programming modes (there are two: Dealer and User), the LCD shows
memory address, data values, programming prompts, and the alphanumeric characters required for entering up to 32
user codes and custom zone descriptions.
GEM-P9600M
The standard GEM-P9600 may be converted to the Mercantile "GEM-P9600M" version with the optional accessory,
H1217. The H1217 kit includes the model H217 heavy-duty UL commercial enclosure, the required (2) tamper switches
and required tamper screws.
Note: Do not use Fire Zones in a Mercantile installation.
NOTE: Failure to install and program as described in this manual for UL-listed systems voids the listing mark of
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
