responses are selected at the respective keypad configuration mode or expansion module jumper.  (Refer to keypad instructions and 
EZM Installation Instructions.) 

Selectable loop-response times for Zones 1–8 are: 
750mS (.75 sec.):  The slowest loop-response time, recommended for use with magnetic contacts, window foil, etc.  Unless pro-

grammed otherwise, loop-response time will be 750mS for all zones. 

50mS (.05 sec.):  Used for momentary Panic Buttons and area-protection devices, such as photoelectric eyes, passive infrared 

sensors, floor mats, etc. 

20mS (.02 sec.):  An extremely fast loop response used primarily for window bugs. 

 

Low Battery 

(Required for UL Mercantile installations) 

A low-battery system trouble will annunciate at the keypad when the battery terminal voltage drops below normal.  This condition 

may signal a local sounding device, report to a central station (program Panel Low Bat Report Code), or both.  If a battery is installed 
and low terminal voltage is detected, a restore will not occur until the battery is recharged to its specified level and passes a dynamic 
test.  The dynamic test may be initiated manually by pressing the 

C

 button, or it will be initiated automatically, every four hours, 

by the panel. 

In wireless installations, when displaying RF transmitter status, a “LoBatt” indication denotes a low-battery condition at the trans-

mitter. 

 

Master Security Code 
Dealer Security Code 
Download Security Code 

The factory-programmed Master Security Code (printed on the label affixed to the micro can) is unique and cannot be changed.  

Use this code to enter the Dealer Program Mode to program (or change) the Dealer Security Code.  If a Dealer Security Code is pro-
grammed, both the Dealer Security Code and the Master Security Code will work.  However, should system RAM fail, only the Master 
Security Code will work. 

The Dealer Security Code is needed to enter the Dealer Program Mode, thus allowing the dealer to program codes, zone fea-

tures, reporting features and zone descriptions (see Programming Manual WI1092).  This code may be changed as required. 

Important!  

The label containing the Master Security Code should be removed.  Record the code in a secure place for reference 

as programming changes cannot be made without it (or the Dealer Security Code). 

To change the Dealer Security Code, access the Direct Address Program Mode.  Advance to the “PROG” screen, then change 

the 6-digit code as required. 

The Download Security Code is the six-digit code required to establish connection to the PCD-Windows Software. 

 

Memory Failure 

A User or Dealer Memory error will cause the sounder to pulse, the “

SYS/TRBL

” reminder to flash, and the display to read “

E19-00 

USER MEM ERROR

 ” or “

E20-00 DEALER MEM ERROR

”.  Press the 

C

 button to silence the sounder (“

SYSTEM READY”

 will display, along with 

the “

SYS/TRBL

” reminder).  Activate RESET SYSTEM TROUBLE to manually reset the system trouble.  A Memory Failure can be pro-

grammed to activate an alarm output and/or report using its associated system Report Code. 

 

Modem II CS Format 
Modem IIe CS Format 

The GEM-X255 control supports Radionics Modem II as well as Modem IIe central station reporting format. 

 

Never Arm

 (Do not use for primary Burglary protection) 

A zone programmed as Never Arm cannot go into alarm.  If tripped, it will display at the keypad when the DISPLAY STATUS 

function is selected.  A chime will sound at the keypad while armed or disarmed, if Chime is also programmed for that zone and en-
abled.  This feature is suggested for use as a garage-door or driveway monitor, or similar application. 

 

No EOL Resistor 

Program for any zone not wired with a 2200 Ohm end-of-line resistor (Napco Part No.  EOL2.2K).  This will disable any zone-

short indication (if programmed, Day Zone Short is disabled).  If not programmed, an end-of-line resistor must be installed.  Note:  
This selection is automatically disabled for zones selected as Fire.  Do not program for UL installations. 

 

One-Button Arming

   See Easy Arming 

 

Opening Report 
Opening Report Only After Alarm Report

 (Do not program for UL installations) 

Opening and closing reports are generally used in commercial installations.  On disarming, the communicator can send an Open-

ing Code for Users 1–195 (Opening Report), or it may transmit only when the control panel is disarmed after an alarm has been re-
ported (Opening Report Only After Alarm Report).  Subscriber Identification Numbers and Opening Codes must be entered for either 
opening report. 

Program Opening Report Only After Alarm Report to report only when disarming after an alarm report.  This feature may be used 

by the central station to verify that the subscriber has responded and disarmed the panel.  If Opening Report Only After Alarm Report 
is selected, also select Opening Report for each user. 

 

Opening/Closing Reporting for Key-fob Users  

Key-Fob users can now report openings and closings. 

GEM-X255:  Key Fobs 1-16 report as Users 180-195.
