Wire keypad(s), zones, expansion zone modules and output devices as shown on the Wiring Diagram. Note that the
Wiring Diagram contains important information not available elsewhere in this manual.
Wireless Systems
With the addition of at least one GEM-RECV series receiver, the GEM-P816 will support up to 32 wireless transmitters.
The panel can accommodate one or two receivers within the premises, responding to the one with the stronger
transmitter signal. If any transmitters are selected for the default program, a GEM-RECV receiver will automatically be
programmed.
The keypad can display the status of any transmitter, indicating the condition of the zone (normal or open) and
transmitter troubles (low battery, tamper or supervisory failure), and signal strength of the last transmission. A receiver
failure will be indicated by “E06-NN” (“no response”, with NN representing the receiver number).
TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL FIRE INSTALLATION (Where permitted by local codes)
At least one smoke detector should be installed directly outside each sleeping area. If there is more than one floor,
additional smoke detectors should be installed on each level, including the basement. The living-area and basement
smoke detectors should be installed near the stairway of the next upper level.
For increased protection, additional detectors should be installed
in areas other than those required, such as the dining room,
bedrooms, utility room, furnace room, and hallways. Heat
detectors, rather than smoke detectors, are recommended in
kitchens, attics, and garages due to conditions that may result in
false alarms and improper operation. Large areas and areas with
partitions, ceiling beams, doorways, and open joists will require
additional detectors.
Refer to NFPA Standard No. 74 (National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269) for additional
information, including proper mounting of detectors.
TYPICAL PARTITIONED INSTALLATION
!
Described and illustrated here are an example of a partitioned system
with common-area protection of the control-panel room. This system meets UL requirements for a partitioned installation.
!
Both areas must be owned and managed by the same person(s).
!
Both areas must be part of one building at one street address.
!
The control panel and all wiring protecting each partitioned area must be
confined to the respective area and may not impinge upon the other area. This
requires that the control panel room have redundant protection; that is (a) multiple
sets of door contacts, each wired to a separate zone and (b) one of those zones
programmed for each area. In order to gain access to this protected area without
causing an alarm, both partitions must be disarmed. In lieu of redundant
protection, 24-Hour Zones may be used. Any zone protecting the control panel
and transformer may not be programmed for bypass.
!
The sounding device must be placed such that the bell test can be heard by all
partitions.
Note:
NFPA 74 (Household Fire Warning Equipment) requires that a
fire alarm audible device be installed indoors.
The User Program Code is not to be given to anyone except the authority
responsible for all partitions.
CAUTION:
Do not run telephone wiring near speaker wires; do not run keypad wiring with loop wiring.
