SYSTEM PROGRAMMING OPTIONS

INTRODUCTION

The GEM-P9600 control panel may be programmed by various means, each of which will be covered in detail in the sections
that follow. Keypad displays shown are for a GEM-K2AS, the GEM-K3DGTL, and the GEM-K4/GEM-K4RF series. With the
GEM-RP2ASe2/GEM-K2AS keypads, because of their reduced display capabilities, messages are abbreviated and will scroll
through two or more screens. Zone descriptions cannot be programmed using GEM-K2AS/GEM-RP2ASe2, GEM-K3DGTL/
GEM-RP3DGTL, nor a GEM-K4RF/RP4RFC series keypad, therefore a GEM-RP1CAe2 or GEM-K1CA keypad must be used.
!
Downloading From a Computer. This is the preferred method of programming. The panel may be downloaded
from (or uploaded to) an IBM PC-compatible computer, either locally or remotely.
Quickloader software features context-sensitive help screens as well as an error-checking utility that prevents
programming of incompatible or conflicting data to ensure proper panel operation. Note: Unattended download-
ing from a computer is not allowed for Fire Alarm or UL installations.
! Easy Menu-Driven Program (Dealer Program) Mode - Keypad Programming.
Program Mode allows keypad programming of number of zones in area 1 and 2, panel zone doubling, number of
fire zones (both 4-wire and 2-wire), local or Central Station reporting, number of exit/entry zones, number of inte-
rior zones, number of 24 hour zones, number of chime zones, Chime 2 zones, Exit/Entry2 zones, 50ms loop re-
sponse zones (
Note: 750mS is required for Loop Response time in UL installations)
zones, sensor watch zones, keypad sounder on alarm zones, auto bypass re-entry zones, EOLR zones, number of
keypads in area 1 and 2, Central Station telephone number, Central Station account number, Central Station re-
ceiver format, User Codes, RF transmitter points, RF keyfob transmitters, zone descriptions, dealer code, Telco
line fault test, Burg output chirp on keyfob, enable CP-01, and clear dealer program/cold start. For new panels, a
custom default program may be created at the keypad. A menu-driven utility prompts the installer to configure the
system. Further detailed customization is accomplished in the Direct Address Program Mode.
!
Direct Address (Dealer Program) Program Mode - Keypad Programming. The Direct Address Program Mode
is an extension of the Dealer Program Mode wherein data is entered at the keypad by specific location. This mode
is accessed from the Easy Menu Driven Program Mode by pressing the
!
User Program Mode - Keypad programming. The User Program Mode is intended for authorized users and is
limited to keypad programming of User Codes, Time, Date and Zone Descriptions.

DOWNLOADING FROM A COMPUTER

The control-panel program may be downloaded from the computer by any of the following methods.
Local Downloading
(Note: This procedure should be used after installation, after peripheral devices are connected).
For direct high-speed data transfer to the control panel from a desktop computer, connect the download jack (JP2)
on the panel to the LOCAL jack (J3) on the Napco PCI2000/3000 computer interface using the supplied 6-
conductor cable. (Refer to PCI2000/3000 Installation Instructions WI443 for wiring diagram and procedures).
Similarly, a high-speed local download may be made in the field using a notebook or laptop computer. Connect
JP2 on the control panel to a Napco PCI-MINI computer interface using the 6-conductor cable supplied. (Refer to
PCI-MINI Installation Instructions WI767).
Remote Downloading
(Also see PCI2000/3000 Installation Instructions WI443).
Function Mode.
Start by establishing a telco connection between the computer operator and the installer. During this procedure,
voice contact will be lost, therefore both the installer and the computer operator should be familiar with the
operation. When a steady high-pitched tone is heard at the site phone, access the "ACTIVATE DOWNLOAD" Function
(see Keypad Programming Modes), then press the
up the phone and wait for a call from the central station confirming a successful download.
Callback Method.
An installed, unattended panel may be programmed or reprogrammed remotely using the Callback-Method
Download feature of the PCD Windows software. Remote downloading requires a modem compatible with the
PCI2000/3000. Upon answering the call from the computer, the panel will verify the Download Security Code and,
if confirmed, will establish a connection. If a Callback Number is programmed into the panel, the panel will
automatically disconnect and call the computer at this number before establishing a connection.
