DESCRIPTION
GEM-RECV-XP8 receiver Is the hardwired interface to
Napco'sWireless-Ready,.
XP-Serles and GEM-P800 Con-
trol
Panels. The wireless system comprises an XP-400: -
XP-600 or GEM-P800 panel, at least one GEM-RECV-XP8
receiver and one or more companion transmitters. The
transmitters may be wireless smoke detectors, space-
protection devices, window/door sensors, orotherdevices
that report
zone status and supervision information to the
receiver withoutthe use of wires.
THE GEM-RECV-XPB RECEIVER
The GEM-RECV-XPB wUI accommodate up to 8wireless
transmitters, 4
GEM-SMK wireless smoke detectors, and 4
GEM-KEYF Key-Fob transmitters. The receiver is con-
nected to the keypad 3-wlre bus. The receiver monitors
each transmitter, updatingtransmltterstatus as reports are
received, and conveysthis information to thecontrol panel.
Also monitored is the elapsed timesincethelastreportfrom
each transmitter. If no report
Is received within a
programmed
time, the panel wDI issue aSupervisoryFailure
system trouble.
COMPATIBLE TRANSMITTERS
Any ofthe following Napea wireless transmitters may be
used with the GEM-RECV-XP8 receiver.
• GEM-TRANS2 Window/Door Sensor. This super-
vised, two-point transmitter provides an Internal mag-
netic reed switch and/or terminals for one or two
external normally-closed devices.
• GEM- TRANS4Window/Door Sensor. As above, but 4
points.
• GEM-PIR. Dual-element passive infrared sensor. -
•
GEM-DT. Dual-technology PIA/microwave sensor.
• GEM-SMKSmokeDetector.Supervisedsmokedetec-
tor.
• GEM-KEYF Key Fob Transmitter. Keychaln/pendant
remote arming or emergencytransmitter.
• GEM-GB. Glass-break sensor.

INSTALLATION
Designing the System
In planning the layout of the system, give careful con-
sideration to the location of the receiver. Regardless of
wherethe control
panel Is mounted, the receiver should be
centrallylocated Within thepremises, that Is, approximately
equally distant from
all transmitters. Choose a location as
high above ground level as practical (attic Installations are
not recommended), keeping In mind that metal objects may
adversely affect reception Draw a layout of the system,
Identifying all proposed transmitterlocations and anticipated
receiver location Also Include notations Indicating construc-
tion materials
In use. Although wood and wallboard con-
struction wUI have little effect upon signal strength at the
receiver, concrete or brick can reduce signal strength by
up to 35%, while steel-reinforced concreteor metal lath and
plaster can reduce transmitter strength as much as 90%.
In installationswhere distanttransmitters pose reception
problems, two receivers (maximum)
may be used. The
panelwill respond toreceiverwiththestrongersignal. Both
receivers areconnected tothe panel's3-wlre bus, butthey
must
be addressed differentlysothattheycanbeIdentified
bythe control panel. This Is accomplished bythe placement
of jumper JP1 atthe lower-left comer of the board. Refer to

the Wiring Diagram for jumper configuration.
·Note: Each receiver leaves the factory internally con-
figured as #1 .Therefore, ifonlyone receiver is being used,
address assignment
is not required.
Mounting and Wiring the Receiver
Allowing at least 9" at the top and 6" at the bottomforthe
antennas, mountthe receiver using
two screws suitablefor
the surface through the
two mounting holes in the rear
cover (see Wiring Diagram). Using3-conductorcable, wire
the receiver to the control panel in accordance with the
following table.

GETTING UP AND RUNNING
Referring
to the installation and programming instruction
manuals for the control panel, enter
• the programming block number of the zone to which
the transmitter will be mapped,
• the?-digit RF ID Number (6 -digitcode:1-digitchecksum
number) printed on the transmitter.After the lastdigit
is
entered, the keypad will beep.
• the wireless point number.
Note: When programming the
RF ID Number at the
keypad, press
(*][1] for "A"
press [*1[2] for "B"
press [*][3] for "C"
press [*](4]for "D"
press (*]{5] for " E"
press [*][6] for "F".
Press (ON/OFF] to save. Press NEXT to continue.
i
Key Fob Transmitters. Referring to the programming in-
structions for the control panel, enter the following:
• an assigned Key Fob Transmitter number (1 -4);
• the ?-digit hexadecimal RF ID number printed on the
transmitter (enter
all numbers and/or letters, including
leading zeros,
if any);
• Aux. 1 options (see programming worksheets)
CHECKING TRANSMITTERS
.The transmitter will send a report whenever it
is tripped.
It will also send a supervisory transmission about once
every hour. If the receiver does not receive a report within
a programmed time, an
RF Supervisory Failure will be
indicated at the keypad.
Signal Strength. The signal strength of any transmitter
can be determined in the Fault-Find mode, as follows.
(a) Press (*] [7] to enter the Fault-Find mode.
(b) The keypad will give a visual and audible indication of
signal strength as shown in Table 2.
Note: After the audible indication times out, a ZONE LED
will light to indicate the zone to which the transmitter is
mapped.

WIRELESS SYSTEM TROUBLES
A system trouble will cause the yellow

come on and the keypad
to sound a double-beep, which
will repeat everyten seconds. Wireless system troublesare
shewn in Table 3. To identify the system trouble,
(a) Pressthe [v] Button;the yellowvSYSTEM LED will flash
(with keypad sounder) and one
or more Zone LEOs will
come on.
(b) Countthe number of vSYSTEM LED flashes (orbeeps).
(c) Note the ZONE LED(s) that are on.
(d) Find the condition from Table 3.

Green LED (DS2)
The green
LED will flash while receiving a transmission
having a strength
of 4 or greater, indicating a signal of
sufficient strength. Caution: A
green LED display with no
transmitters in operation is a sign of high ambient rf inter-
ference.
If the green LED remains lit continuously, relocate
the receiver.
