WI879A GEM-P400 Installation Instructions
*HQHUDO ,QIRUPDWLRQ
The GEMINI GEM-P400 control panel provides up to
4 hardwired/wireless zones. Up to four 4-digit user
codes can be programmed. Ambush, when selected,
uses User 4 code as an Ambush code.
The GEM-P400 is wireless ready. When used with a
GEM-RECV-XP8 receiver, the control panel can sup-
port up to 4 wireless zones and 2 Keyfobs.
The GEM-RP4 keypad provides complete control of
the GEM-P400 control panel. Information on system
status, bypassed zones, system troubles etc. can be
viewed at the keypad.
The control panel can be easily and quickly pro-
grammed from the keypad. The panel can also be
locally or remotely downloaded using PCD3000 soft-
ware and a PCI 2000/3000 interface or PCL2000A
local Download cable. See Downloading Section (pg.
5) for more information.

Mounting the Panel
Mount the Panel close to an unswitched AC
source, a cold-water pipe ground, and a tele-
phone line connection.
Mounting the Keypad
A keypad should be located near an exit/entry
door. To remove the keypad from the backplate,
insert a small screwdriver into the slots at the
bottom of the keypad. Pull up on the screwdriver
to pop off the cover.
Up to 3 keypads can be connected on individual
wire runs with #22 AWG wire with a maximum
total cable length of 1000 feet. Each keypad
draws approximately 35 mA.
:LULQJ
Grounding the Panel
Connect the control-panel EARTH GROUND
screw to a metal cold-water pipe. Do
not use a
gas pipe, plastic pipe or AC ground connec-
tions. Use at least #16 AWG wire. Connect a
wire with a ground lug crimped or soldered onto
one end and connect it to the EARTH
GROUND screw in the cabinet.
AC Power and Battery Wiring
Complete all wiring before connecting the bat-
tery or AC Power. Do
not plug the transformer
into a switched outlet.
Telephone Wiring
Wire as shown in the wiring diagram in the back
of this manual.
WARNING
The FCC restricts the use of this equipment on
certain telephone lines. Read the FCC state-
ment on the back of this manual to ensure
compliance.
Burglary Zone Wiring
NAPCO’s EZ Zone DoublingTM is simple. Each
terminal has 2 zones, use an E(2.2 K) type
Zone Doubling Resistor for the primary zone and
a Z(3.9 K) type Zone Doubling Resistor for the
secondary zone.
Wire zones as shown in the wiring diagram (pg.
27). All resistors must be installed, even if the
zone is not used. If required, unsupervised
open
circuit devices may be used instead of closed
circuit devices. Program the zone as an
Open
Circuit Zone
[06] (Zone Doubling Resistor re-
quired). If necessary, use the voltage chart
below to verify proper voltages.

PGM Wiring
The PGM is a switched negative output that is
activated depending on the programming op-
tion(s) that have been selected [08], [23] - [25].
Connect the device controlled by the PGM be-
tween +PWR and the PGM terminal (maximum
load of 50 mA).

key, the keypad will
provide a feedback beep for each key pressed.
If a valid Arm/Disarm code is entered, the key-
pad will beep 3 times. If an incorrect Arm/Disarm
code is entered, the keypad will sound a 1-

Arming/Disarming with a Keyfob
The system can be armed by pressing the

key, and disarmed by pressing the

key on
the Keyfob. Zones programmed as
Exit/Entry
Follower Zones
can be bypassed when the


grammed as Home
/Away with Delay Zones
can
be armed regardless of the state of the
Exit/Entry
Zones
when the

or keys on the Keyfob
have been programmed for
Full Set
[81-82]. To
arm the system with all zones protected press
the

key. Press and hold the

or
key for 1.5s to fully set the system (The LED on
the Keyfob indicate the Keyfob has transmitted
the signal). Program
Keyfob/Keyswitch Chirp
[23-4] for an audible indication of system arming
and disarming.
Arming Instant with a Keyfob
The panel can be ARMED INSTANT when the

or keys on the Keyfob have been
programmed for
Instant

system with Instant protection press the

key, then press and hold the

or key for
1.5s to arm the panel with INSTANT protection.
Arming/Disarming with a Keyswitch
The system can be armed/disarmed by using a
momentary Keyswitch wired to Zone 4. Pro-
gram Keyfob/Keyswitch Chirp [23-4] for an au-
dible indication of system arming and disarm-
ing.
Disarming (System OFF)
After entering the premises through an Exit/
Entry Zone, the keypad will sound the Entry
Delay Tone. Enter a valid Arm/Disarm code,
then press  . If a valid Arm/Disarm code is
entered, the keypad will beep 6 times, indicat-
ing the panel has been disarmed. The red
Armed LED will go out. If an incorrect Arm/
Disarm Code is entered, the keypad will sound
a 1-second tone, indicating incorrect entry.
Press the

key and re-enter the code.
Disarming after an Alarm (Alarm Memory)
The armed LED and the zone(s) that caused
the alarm will be be flashing. Disarm the panel.
The system is currently not detecting zone
faults or displaying system trouble. The
zone(s) that caused the alarm will continue to
flash. The Ready and


are out indicating:
The system is displaying Alarm Memory.
Press the

control panel is still armed, the zone will
automatically be unbypassed and any
subsequent violations of the zone will
cause an alarm condition.

Program this zone type if unsupervised nor-
mally open circuit devices are required The

[10]Exit Delay
The delay time which permits exit through an
Exit/Entry Zone
[00] after the system is
armed, allows a user to leave the premises
without
setting off an immediate alarm.
Exit
Delay
may be programmed for up to 255
seconds (4¼ minutes); a value of 0 defaults
to 60 seconds.
[11]Entry Delay
Delay time permits entry through
Exit/Entry
Zone(s)
after the system is armed without
setting off an immediate alarm.
Entry Delay
allows the user time to enter and disarm the
system. Upon entering, the keypad sounder
will sound a steady tone (Entry Sound) to
remind the user to disarm the system.

Enable this feature by programming the
delay time required to declare a line cut
failure. Programming 000 will disable line
cut detection.
[16]Wireless Supervisory Timer
A transmitter will send a transmission every
time it is tripped; when there is no activity,
the transmitter sends a supervisory trans-
mission about once an hour. If the receiver
does not receive any signal (either a trip or a
status) from a transmitter in the time speci-
fied, a system trouble ‘RF Supervisory Fail-
ure' will be indicated at the keypad. Timer is
programmable from 1-26 hours; 0 means NO

zone would be E4 (4/2 format).
[62-2] Trouble Code - Conditional Closing
Reports. Zones that are bypassed at the
time of arming send this code along with the
zone number of the bypassed zone(s). For

tem Report Code [63]. For example, if a Low
Battery System Report Code is F8 the Bat-
tery Restore would be E8 (4/2 format).
[65]Opening and Closing Codes
Program Opening and Closing Codes for
Users 1 through 4. The second digit of the

be mapped to a zone. Only 1 wireless
device is permitted per zone, however, the
use of both hardwired and wireless on a
zone is permitted.
To Map a transmitter to a zone:

that the transmitter is to be mapped to.
2. Enter the 7-digit RF ID number directly,
just as it is shown on the device label.
After the 7th digit is entered the keypad

A transmitter will send a transmission every
time it is tripped. The transmitter also sends
a supervisory transmission about once every
