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.
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 400
events (accessible through Quickloader
clock. A detailed event history may be displayed at the computer, using Napco's PCD-Windows Quickloader Software.
Keypads feature a liquid-crystal display for messages. In normal use, the LCD shows zone identification and status
messages, and the log can also be viewed. 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 PCD-
Windows 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 16 user codes and custom zone descriptions.
NOTE: Failure to install and program as described in this manual for UL-listed
