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, wire-
less receiver modules and/or GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA Keypads. Each panel includes an integral digital communica-
tor.
The control panel features programmable area partitioning. That is, the system may be divided into up to 8 discrete mul-
tiple-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. Fur-
thermore, the panel can be programmed to automatically arm either area at any time. A log containing up to 800 events
(accessible through QuickloaderTM software) monitors control-panel activity referenced to a precision real-time 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 mes-
sages. 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 96
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.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING
Control Panel
Choose a mounting location accessible to (a) a continuously-powered AC source, (b) system ground, a steel or copper
ground rod, ideally no further away than 10 feet, and (c) telephone lines (keep telephone wiring away from keypad
wires). Remove appropriate knockouts for cables. Place the control panel at a convenient viewing height and mark the
mounting holes. Attach the enclosure using screws suitable for the mounting surface.
Grounding
Connect the control-panel grounding screw through a No. 16 AWG. or larger wire to a long steel or copper ground rod
driven deeply into the earth. Do not use a gas pipe, plastic pipe or ac ground connections. Make the run as short and
direct as possible, without any sharp bends in the wire.
Tamper Switches
Tamper switches may be installed to prevent opening of the control-panel door or removal of the cabinet from the wall.
Ideally, tamper switches should be connected to a zone that is active at all times, thus it may be necessary to program
that zone as a 24-Hour Zone or Day Zone. When used on a normally-open zone, normally-closed tamper switches
(open when set) should be wired in parallel. On a normally-closed zone, install Napco TPS-2 normally-open tamper
switches (closed when set) in series.
There are two places in the cabinet to mount tamper switches: (1) To prevent cabinet removal from the wall, there are
three mounting holes on the left side of the cabinet, another hole on the back that allows the switch button to contact the
wall. (2) To prevent opening the cabinet door, there are three mounting holes on the right side of the cabinet. When
mounted, the switch button should contact the inside of the door. Be sure to alert the user that opening the enclosure
door will cause a tamper alarm. Note: Each tamper switch is furnished with three machine screws for mounting, and
one self-tapping screw. The sole purpose of the self-tapping screw is to tap the holes for the machine screws; it may be
discarded after use.
Keypad
A keypad should be located near each exit/entry door. The keypad features a handy pull-up reference label. Before
mounting the keypad onto the wall, push the Sliding Label Plate (with label and felt backing affixed and handle facing
forward) down the guides at the rear of the keypad until it snaps into place. Once installed, the Sliding Label Plate can-
not be removed without first removing the keypad from the wall. Note: (1) The keypad fire and panic keys should not be
considered a substitute for a listed manual initiating device, such as a pull box. (2) Each GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA
includes provisions for four additional zones. See ADDING EXPANSION ZONES.
If installing onto a double-gang box, insert mounting screws through the two vertical elongated holes on the left side of
the case and into the box. If the box is visible when viewed from the front, adjust the keypad vertically and tighten the
screws. Then, using hardware suitable for the mounting surface, add one or two screws at the right side of the keypad
case directly into the wall to ensure a secure installation. Note: Do not overtighten the screws! Uneven walls may
cause the keypad case to distort.
CAUTION: This equipment generates and uses radio-frequency energy. If not installed using conventional installation
practices for RF devices, it may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are de-
signed to provide reasonable protection against such interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If it has been found to cause interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by removing and reapplying AC and battery power to the equipment, the installer should try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient the receiving antenna; connect the power trans-
former to a different outlet so that the control panel and receiver are on different branch circuits; relocate the control
panel with respect to the receiver.

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.
Adding Expansion Zones
GEM-P9600 Series control panels will handle up to 8 zones as is, however this number may be increased to as many as
96 programmable zones using optional expansion zone modules (EZMs).
Wireless Systems (NOT EVALUATED BY U.L. FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS)
With the addition of at least one GEM-RECV series receiver, the GEM-P9600 will support up to 96 wireless transmitters.
The panel can accommodate one to four receivers within the premises, responding to the one with the stronger transmit-
ter signal. If any transmitters are selected for the default program, a GEM-RECV receiver will automatically be pro-
grammed.
The keypad can display the status of any transmitter, indicating the condition of the zone (normal or open) and transmit-
ter 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 INSTALLA-
TION (Where permitted by local codes)
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, bed-
rooms, utility room, furnace room, and hallways. Heat detectors,
rather than smoke detectors, are recommended in kitchens, at-
tics, 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 re-
quire additional detectors.
Refer to NFPA Standard No. 74 (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269) for addi-
tional information, including proper mounting of detectors.
TYPICAL PARTITIONED INSTALLATION
Described and illustrated here are an example of a partitioned system
with common-area protection of the control-panel room. This system
meets UL requirements for a partitioned installation.
•Both areas must be owned and managed by the same person(s).
•Both areas must be part of one building at one street address.
•The control panel and all wiring protecting each partitioned area
must be confined to the respective area and may not encroach upon the
other area. This requires that the control panel room have redundant
protection; that is (a) multiple sets of door contacts, each wired to a
separate zone and (b) one of those zones programmed for each area.
In order to gain access to this protected area without causing an alarm,
both partitions must be disarmed. In lieu of redundant protection, 24-
Hour Zones may be used. Any zone protecting the control panel and
transformer may not be programmed for bypass.
The sounding device must be placed such that the bell test can be
heard by all partitions. Note: NFPA 74 (Household Fire Warning Equipment) requires that a fire alarm audible device be
installed indoors. The User Program Code is not to be given to anyone except the authority responsible for all partitions.
CAUTION: Do not run telephone wiring near speaker wires; do not run keypad wiring with loop wiring.

tions accompanying the M278 for other installation re-
quirements. For UL Commercial safe and vault applica-
tions, use a UL-listed shock sensor suitable for metal en-
closures. Install tamper switches on front and rear of con-
trol-panel enclosure.
Grade-A Local Mercantile Installations
A Grade-A Local Mercantile installation must use at least
a 6.0AH standby battery. Programming must include
Auto Bell Test on Arming. Trouble on Night Open may
not be programmed for any zone. The minimum require-
ments for a listed Grade-A Local system include:
•Low-Battery Annunciation.
•An Ademco AB-12 Bell and Box (12-volt).
•Program Auto Bell Test on Arming.
•A maximum Entrance and Exit Delay of 60 seconds.
Interfacing to the Ademco 7720 Long-Range Wireless System

KEYPAD CONFIGURATION MODE
This section will focus on configuring the GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA and GEM-RP2ASe2/GEM-K2AS Keypads. If there is more
than one keypad in the system, only Keypad No. 1 may be used for programming.
KEYPAD INSTALLATION
Each keypad must be assigned an address number (1–15) and each requires its own configuration procedure (see CONFIGURING
THE KEYPADS, which follows, and DIRECT ADDRESS KEYPAD AREA OPTIONS). At least 1 keypad must be used; only 1 is re-
quired for a single-area Commercial Burglary installation.
•GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA - is a 2-line combination fire/burglary/access keypad capable of supporting 4 EZM zones. A GEM-
RP1CAe2 or GEM-K1CA is recommended for use as Keypad #1.
•GEM-RP2ASe2/GEM-K2AS - is a utility LCD keypad combining several preset LCD words with a limited message line. NOTE:
Due to space constraints, available messages are abbreviated and will scroll automatically.
CONFIGURING THE KEYPADS
A total of up to 7 keypads may be connected to the panel. GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA and GEM-RP2ASe2/GEM-K2AS keypads may
be intermixed but require different configuration procedures, as described in the following paragraphs. If you have a GEM-K1CA keypad,
please see the "Important Note" on page 3 regarding the differences between the GEM-RP1CAe2 and the GEM-K1CA keypad buttons.
The buttons displayed below will be for the GEM-K1CA keypad.
Configuring the GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA Keypad
Each GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA keypad must be configured for (a) keypad tactile beep; (b) entry sounder;
(c) keypad address; (d) EZM address; and (e) zone response.
To enter the GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA Configuration Mode:
1. Move jumper JP1 (located at the upper center of the control panel board) from Pins 1-2 (top two) to
Pins 2-3 (bottom two). NOTE: See the Wiring Diagram.
2. After about 15 seconds, the display will read “XX OUT OF SYSTEM”, where XX indicates the keypad address.
3. Press 11123 Rand proceed as follows. (Repeat the following procedure for all keypads.)

Compatibility Number
The compatibility number is a 4-digit security code that, if programmed into
both the control panel and each GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA keypad, dedi-
cates the keypad to only that panel. That is, (a) similar keypads not having
the correct compatibility number will not operate in the system and (b) a
keypad may not be removed for use on a system with a different compatibility number. Note: (1) If assigning compatibil-
ity numbers, record and store them in a safe place. (2) The GEM-RP2ASe2/GEM-K2AS and GEM-RP3DGTL/GEM-
K3DGTL Keypads will function with or without a Compatibility Number.
While the compatibility number may be changed, the old number must be known in order to program the new number.
Note: If neither the control panel nor the keypad is given a compatibility number, both default to “0000” (thereby main-
taining compatibility).
To program the compatibility number, press the Abutton until “NEW COMPAT# 0000” is displayed. Enter the 4-digit
compatibility number that is programmed into the panel. Note: If the keypad had been previously programmed for a
compatibility number other than “0000”, the display would read “OLD COMPAT# XXXX”. Enter the existing number before at-
tempting to change it. Press the Abutton to continue or press the Cbutton to exit.
EZM Address
The keypad's internal EZM (Expansion Zone Module) may be utilized to
provide four additional wired zones. Whether used alone or in conjunction
with optional GEM-EZM series modules or other keypad EZMs, it must be
assigned a unique address (or Group number, see Keypad Programming
Workbook) similar to its keypad address. If no other EZMs are to be used, designate the keypad as Group “01” at the
“EZM ADDRESS 00” display. In multiple-EZM systems, enter an assigned group number “01” through “22”. (Each EZM
must have a unique assigned group number, starting with “01” and proceeding consecutively). Press the Abutton
to continue or press the Cbutton to exit.
Zone Response
The normal loop response of each keypad expansion zone is 750mS, how-
ever the response time of any zone can be reduced to 50mS as follows.
1. Of the following, circle the number(s) in parentheses associated with the
zone(s) to be changed: Zone 1=(1); Zone 2=(2); Zone 3=(4); Zone 4=(8)
2. Add up the circled numbers.
3. At the keypad, enter the sum as a two-digit number “01” through “15” on the display, then press the Jbutton.
Example. Change Zones 2, 3 and 4 to 50mS response.
1. Circle numbers for Zones 2, 3 and 4: (2), (4) and (8).
2. Add up the circled numbers: 2 + 4 + 8 = 14.
3. Enter “14” at the keypad, then press the Jbutton.
Press the Abutton to continue or press the Cbutton to exit.
