Wiring

Wire keypad(s), zones, expansion zone modules and output devices as shown on the Wiring Diagram. Note that the
Wiring Diagram contains important information not available elsewhere in this manual.
CAUTION: Do not run telephone wiring near speaker wires; do not run keypad wiring with loop wiring.
Adding Expansion Zones
GEM-P816 control panel can support up to 16 zones as is, however this number may be increased to as many as 16
programmable zones using optional expansion zone modules (EZMs).

Wireless Systems

With the addition of at least one GEM-RECV series receiver, the GEM-P816 will support up to 16 wireless transmitters.
The panel can accommodate one or two receivers within the premises, responding to the one with the stronger
transmitter signal. If any transmitters are selected for the default program, a GEM-RECV receiver will automatically be
programmed.
The keypad can display the status of any transmitter, indicating the condition of the zone (normal or open) and
transmitter troubles (low battery, tamper or supervisory failure), and signal strength of the last transmission. A receiver
failure will be indicated by "E06-NN" ("no response", with NN representing the receiver number).
TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL FIRE INSTALLATION (Where permitted by local codes)
GEM-P816 Installation Instructions
At least one smoke detector should be installed directly outside
each sleeping area. If there is more than one floor, additional
smoke detectors should be installed on each level, including the
basement. The living-area and basement smoke detectors
should be installed near the stairway of the next upper level.
For increased protection, additional detectors should be installed
in areas other than those required, such as the dining room,
bedrooms, utility room, furnace room, and hallways. Heat
detectors, rather than smoke detectors, are recommended in
kitchens, attics, and garages due to conditions that may result in
false alarms and improper operation. Large areas and areas with
partitions, ceiling beams, doorways, and open joists will require
additional detectors.
Refer to NFPA Standard No. 74 (National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269) for
additional information, including proper mounting of detectors.
