The GEM-DXRP3 is a “smart”, interactive,
menu-driven keypad designed for your
Napco control panel. A digital display is
provided to show the status of your system.
This booklet contains important information
about the operation of your system with this
GEM-DXRP3 Keypad. Read it carefully
and keep it handy for future reference.
Check the Glossary for an explanation of
terms that may be unfamiliar to you.
You'll probably find subjects mentioned in
this booklet that do not apply to your
system. Napco control panels have such a
wide variety of features that few security
systems, if any, will ever need them all.
Your alarm professional has chosen
appropriate features for your particular
needs.
Regardless of how your system has been
configured, rest assured that it has been
carefully designed and engineered to the
highest industry standards. To assure
optimum safety and security, familiarize
yourself with this equipment. Periodically
check its condition and state of readiness by
testing it at least once a week in both the ac/
battery and battery-only modes (ask your
alarm professional how to make these
tests).
