NAPCO introduces the new 2WAY-UNIVKF, the security industry’s only
universal bi-directional Keyfob with LCD status display and integral mini
sounder, supported by a revolutionary 2-way receiver.
Designed to be compatible with most major control panel brands, including
NAPCOs Gemini and Magnum and others such as ADEMCO, DSC and
more, this 2-Way Keyfob is super-miniaturized for portability yet packs
tremendous sales potential and consumer market appeal.
System Status is indicated through 8 intuitive ICONS (a lock, a house, a
flame, etc.) on the LCD display, accompanied by corresponding beep
sequences on its mini sounder. Providing both easily understood visual and
audible feedback, the user always knows with certainty that the system has
carried out their command.
In addition to the many standard commands it can issue the system, it can also
control up to 2 groups of lighting control, such as X-10, and up to 2 separate
Garage Doors.
NAPCO 2WAY-UNIVKF keyfobs are also sold in a kit with the 2-way
receiver, Model 2WAY–UNIVKFKIT. Each receiver supports up to 7
keyfobs.
2WAY-UNIVKF - The 2-Way Universal LCD Keyfob that puts the power of a keypad in your pocket.

4WI1024B 2WAY-UNIVKF Installation Instructions
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The 2WAY-UNIVKF is compatible with virtually any control panel either through bus compatible operation or universal mode
operation. When used on a panel on which it is bus-compatible, full functionality is realized, including lighting, appliance and X10
control. When used in the Universal Mode, functionality is dependent on the feature set of the control panel, such as a keyswitch
arm zone for arm / disarm capability, an armed output to provide an Armed indication, a steady bell output for an alarm indication
and a pulsing bell output for a fire alarm indication.
This manual is divided into 3 sections which are marked on the outer border of each page - General Information (pages 2-6),
which applies to both modes of operation, NAPCO Gemini / Ademco Bus Operation (pages 8-12) and Universal Operation
(pages 13-19). After reviewing the General Information section for an overview on the system, refer to the section which applies
to the type of installation at hand, Bus or Universal Operation and follow all indicated steps.

8WI1024B 2WAY-UNIVKF Installation Instructions
STEP 1 - WIRING AND CONFIGURATION
Mounting
The 2 way receiver should be mounted in a location which is centrally located
in the area of anticipated usage. It is not recommended that the receiver be
installed in an attic or mounted within 24 inches of any metallic objects.
Installation in a basement will result in reduced range. It should not be mounted
in the control panel enclosure. The receiver should be positioned with the
antennas pointed up.
Wiring
The 2WAY-UNIVKF is compatible with the keypad bus of the NAPCO Gemini
GEM-P816, GEM-P1632, GEM-P3200 and GEM-P9600 control panels. It is
also compatible with the keypad bus of the Ademco models Vista 10 and 20.
Note: for Bus Operation, DO NOT connect any wires to terminals 5 & 6.
Programming
The Gemini control panel must be programmed for an additional keypad. For
example if the installation currently has 2 keypads, an additional keypad,
keypad # 3 must be enabled in programming. This is not required for the
Ademco Vista 10 and 20.
If KeyFob panic is desired, Keypad Panic should be enabled in the control
panel program. For the Ademco Vista 10 and 20, zone 95 must be programmed
for 24 Hr Audible or 24 Hr Silent. For the Vista 20 zone 99 must be
programmed for 24 Hr Audible or 24 Hr Silent.
Configuring the Receiver Address
For the NAPCO Gemini bus operation, the receiver must be addressed to
match the address of the additional keypad enabled in programming above. For
example, if the receiver is to be addressed as keypad 3, refer to the Receiver
Address Chart and install the appropriate address jumpers (J8 off, J9 ON,
J10 ON). This is not required for the Ademco Vista 10 and 20.
Configuring the Control Panel Type
For a bus compatible installations only, refer to the Panel Type Configuration

STEP 2 - ENROLLING KEYFOBS
Enrolling and Removing KeyFobs
Each KeyFob to be used in the system must be enrolled into the receiver. The following procedure is used to enroll
the unique RF ID number stored in the non volatile memory of each KeyFob into the receiver memory.
1Arm system from any keypad
2Disarm system from any keypad
3Enter Unique Code 1114 [ON/OFF] / [STAY] The Enroll Mode LED will flash rapidly.
The keypad will give error beeps - ignore.
4Press the ∗∗ button on KeyFob 1 The KeyFob will sound a confirmation beep.
.... Repeat for each KeyFob to be enrolled
• Press [RESET] on Keypad OR [ON/OFF] on Keyfob Exit Enroll Mode - the Enroll Mode LED will go out
• All instructions which require keystroke entry on the NAPCO or Ademco keypad will be followed by the appropriate button in
[NAPCO] / [Ademco] format. For example [ON/OFF] / [STAY].
• The Keyfob Enroll Mode may also be entered / exited by pressing the the Enroll Mode Push Button on the top of the
receiver. See page 15 for more information.
To Remove a lost KeyFob from the system: Enter and then exit the Keyfob Enroll Mode. Enter 1114 [ON/OFF] /

STEP 3 - ENROLLING USER CODES
Enrolling User Codes into the 2 Way receiver
The 2 way receiver must be “taught” the User code which will represent each KeyFob to be used on the system. This allows the
receiver to uniquely identify each KeyFob and log KeyFob opening and closing activity in the control panel’s event buffer as well
as report openings and closings by KeyFob user if desired.
Note: Before proceeding, a 4 digit User Code representing each KeyFob must be programmed into the control panel.
1Arm system from any keypad
2Disarm system from any keypad
3Enter Unique Code 1113 [ON/OFF] / [STAY] Enroll Mode LED will flash / pulse
The keypad will give error beeps -
ignore.
4Enter 4 digit User Code to represent KeyFob # 1, press [ON/OFF] / [AWAY] System will Arm
5Reenter the 4 digit User Code for KeyFob # 1, press [ON/OFF] / [OFF] System will Disarm
System will automatically test
code by quickly Arming and
Disarming.
... Repeat steps 4 & 5 for each KeyFob to be enrolled
• Press [RESET] on Keypad Exit Enroll Mode - the Enroll
Mode LED will go out
