IMPORTANT NOTE
This manual supports the keypad programming of the GEM-P816 control panel with the NAPCO "classic" GEM-
RP1CAe2 keypad as well as the GEM-K1CA "K Series" keypad. The new "K Series" GEM-K1CA model offers the new
STAY and AWAY buttons with simplified functionality, along with the new MENU and ENTER buttons.
While the instructions in this manual are depicted using the GEM-K1CA keypad, the manual applies to both the "classic"
and the "K Series" keypads.
Program Mode is the same for both keypads--only the button names have changed, as follows:
•The Abutton and the Rbutton operate identically (in Program Mode) for both keypads.
•The Dbutton and the Ubutton operate identically (in Program Mode) for both keypads.
•The button and the button operate identically (in Program Mode) for both keypads. The words
"NEXT/YES button" are used in this manual.
•The button and the button operate identically (in Program Mode) for both keypads. The words
"PRIOR/NO button" are used in this manual.
For consistency, it is recommended that all keypads either be all "classic" or all "K Series"--both keypad
types should not be used in one alarm system.
CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS EDITION
The following changes have been made to this manual (WI995E) since the previous edition (WI995D):
•All "Not for UL installations" footnote references have been made changed to a consistent "double dagger" symbol ("‡").
•Warning added to page 2 (see below).
Warning: The use of non-NAPCO wireless devices with this control panel has not been evaluated by UL and voids the UL list-
ing. In addition, the performance of these devices can not be guaranteed as compatible with NAPCO control panels.

SYSTEM PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
INTRODUCTION
The GEM-P816 control panel may be programmed by various means, each of which will be covered in detail in the sec-
tions that follow. Keypad displays shown are for a GEM-RP1CAe2/K1CA (version 8 keypad), the recommended keypad
for programming. For Programming Instructions with the GEM-RP2ASe2/GEM-K2AS, GEM-RP3DGTL/GEM-K3DGTL
and the GEM-RP4RFC/GEM-K4RF series, see WI1182.
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. Napco's PCD-
Windows Quickloader software features context-sensitive help screens as well as an error-checking utility that pre-
vents programming of incompatible or conflicting data to ensure proper panel operation. Note: Unattended
downloading from a computer is not allowed for Fire Alarm or UL installations.
Easy Menu-Driven Program (Dealer Program) Mode - Keypad Programming. The Easy Menu-Driven
Program Mode allows keypad programming of number of zones in area 1, number of fire zones (both 4-wire and 2-
wire), local or Central Station reporting, number of exit/entry zones, number of interior zones, number of 24 hour
zones, number of chime zones, Chime 2 zones, Exit/Entry2 zones, 50ms loop response zones (Note: 750mS is re-
quired for Loop Response time in UL installations), aux output activated on alarm zones, sensor watch zones, keypad
sounder on alarm zones, auto bypass re-entry zones, EOLR zones, number of keypads in area 1, Central Station tele-
phone number, Central Station account number, Central Station receiver format, User Codes, RF transmitter points,
RF keyfob transmitters, zone descriptions, date/time, dealer code, Test Timer, Telco line fault test, Burg output chirp
on keyfob, keypad time/date display, enable CP-01 programming, and clear dealer program/cold start. For new pan-
els, 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 Pro-
gram Mode is an extension of the Dealer Program Mode wherein data is entered at the keypad by location. This
mode is accessed from the Easy Menu Driven Program Mode by pressing the Cbutton at any time.
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). Note: Unattended downloading from a computer is not
allowed for Fire Alarm or UL installations.
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 opera-
tion. When a steady high-pitched tone is heard at the site phone, access the “ACTIVATE DOWNLOAD” Function (see
Keypad Programming Modes), then press the Ubutton or the NEXT/YES button; the site phone will go dead.
Hang 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 auto-
matically disconnect and call the computer at this number before establishing a connection.

AREA OPTIONS EXPLANATION
Disabled User Code not active.
Arm/Disarm Allows User Code to arm/disarm.
Arm Only Prevents User Code from disarming.
Service A Service Code has restricted arm/disarm rights; if an area is armed with a Service Code, a “MONITOR ON” appears on the GEM-RP2ASe2 keypad and the
area can be disarmed with any valid User Code, including a Service Code. If the area is armed with OTHER than a Service Code, it CANNOT be dis-
armed with a Service Code. This is typically used to allow tradesmen access to premises under control of the owner.
Access This is normally used to activate a door strike while an area is disarmed. Also program “Access Control on PGM2. Output” (Address 0719) and “PGM2
Output Access Control Timeout” (Address 0711).
* User Program User Program Option is enabled. To enable User Program Option for any user, add 8 to the data entry for Area Option (see example). Then, User Pro-
gramming can be performed at any Keypad by a user code with user program enabled.
Related User Options:“Enable Global Ambush Code” (Address 1422), “Global Ambush Code” (Address 2045) & “Enable Manager's Mode” (Address 1421).
Ambush There are two types of Ambush Codes: (1) A 2-digit code (prefix) that is entered immediately prior to (and as part of) the regular User Code and (2) A
separate and unique User Code. Disarming with an Ambush Code will cause a silent report to be sent to a central station. Thus, should a user be forced
to disarm, he can silently signal an emergency while appearing to be merely disarming the system.
Bypass Enable Security Bypass--Bypass is enabled only with a security code.

Keyfob Transmitters as Zone Input Devices
(Refer to display above: press the AWAY button to go backwards).
Each of the 4 keyfob buttons can be assigned to a zone. For example, On button = point 1; Off button =
point 2; A1 = point 3; A2 = point 4. Up to 16 keyfobs (using 1 button) or 8 keyfobs (using 2 buttons) or 4
keyfobs (using all 4 buttons) or any combination up to a maximum of 16 controlled zones can be assigned,
providing multiple wireless panic buttons on a system, each reporting to a Central Station or a pager and/or
annunciating on a keypad the keyfob zone number with a description. To assign a keyfob to a zone: pro-
gram the keyfob as you would a transmitter, entering the keyfob's ID code, check sum and point number at
the appropriate zone. The “Quick Method” is not allowed. The zone may be hardwired to an electrical
sensor as well as assigned to a keyfob (either one will activate the zone alarm output). NOTE: If assigning
a keyfob to a zone, the “ON/OFF” buttons on the keyfob will no longer arm/disarm the system. The keyfob
is converted to a “panic only” device.
Enter Zone Descriptions
•For each zone, enter a description of up to two lines. Press Uto save each description.
•See page 41 for instructions for entering characters and numbers for the zone descriptions.
•To proceed to the next description, place the cursor under the Zone Number (e.g. “1”) and

DIRECT ADDRESS OVERVIEW
Direct Address Programming allows you to go directly to the address locations (up to 2287) and change the data entries
manually in order to customize your control panel options. Whereas the Easy Menu Program Mode guides you through
limited selections to get you started, Direct Address Program Mode allows you to change all options directly. It con-
sists of up to 2287 address locations each with data entry locations as shown in the following diagram (below left). The
data entry location accepts data in one of three formats: Binary, Decimal and Hexadecimal (explained below in
"Address Mode Displays"). The following diagram (below right) illustrates a Decimal format data entry location (using
a GEM-RP1CAe2 keypad).
ADDRESS MODE DISPLAYS
There are three types of address displays when programming in Direct Entry Program Mode, as follows:
A) Binary (Bit) Format Example
Settings (such as Zone Features) display and accept data in "number" format. For example, Zone Features are
turned on by the pressing of keypad buttons 1 through 8, with the activated Zone(s) displaying the corresponding
decimal digit (replacing deactivated zones which are signified by dashes).
EXAMPLE: BIT Format with the GEM-RP1CAe2: Program Zones 2, 4, 5 and 7 as Exit/Entry Follower Zones.
DETERMINE THE DATA ENTRIES
1. Referring to ZONE FEATURES in the Programming Worksheets that follow, the Exit/Entry Follower for Zones 1
through 8 are located at address 0916.

PROGRAMMING CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL
The Keypad Programming Worksheets in the back are provided as an address-programming reference to help the in-
staller modify his custom default program or to make minor field alterations to an existing panel program. It is recom-
mended that the panel be uploaded to NAPCO's PCD-Windows software following any keypad programming and that
the PCD-Windows's error-check feature be utilized to reduce the possibility of programming omissions or conflicts.
