The GEM-DK1CA is a “ smart ” user-
friendly, interactive menu-driven keypad
designed for your Napco control panel.
Its alphanumeric screen will not only
display the status of your system, but
will also give you step-by-step
instructions to guide you through all
operations.
This booklet contains important
information about the operation of your
system with this GEM-DK1CA 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).
