"Service Message" occurs, a service message will display on the keypad and if programmed will report to Telco 1 and/or
Telco 3. A service message "E24-00 Time for Service" may be programmed to appear at the GEMC-BK1 Burg keypad and
report to central station using the Quickloader Event scheduler.
Shed Burg on AC Fail
This feature specifies the amount of time the GEMC-BM or GEMC-BM/PS Burglary Modules will continue to operate using
battery power after no AC is detected by the motherboard.
Program a number (0-255) of 10-minute intervals for the selection of untimed (program "0") or 10 through 2550 minutes
(program "1-255").
Note:
If the number selected is non-zero and less than or equal to 4 hours and 30 minutes (program
"27"), the selection timeout is 4 hours and 30 minutes.
When using a GEMC-BM/PS, program zero (untimed) as the GEMC-BM/PS battery backup automatically sends a "very low
battery" status to the motherboard when voltage drops below 10.2V. When this "very low battery" status is received by the
motherboard, the GEMC-BM/PS will stop accepting status changes from the burglary system to prevent false alarms.
When a GEMC-BM (Burg Module without an onboard power supply) is used, program at least "27" (4 hours and 30 minutes);
if the system battery standby can adequately supply power, this time can be extended. When the programmed time expires,
the Burglary system will stop functioning and all power will be removed to conserve the batteries for the Fire system. The
GEMC-BM will stop accepting status changes from the Burglary system, thus preventing false Burglary alarms.

Split Reporting

Start Exit Delay After Ringback
When a closing report is successfully received, the central station will acknowledge by returning a kissoff signal. When the
kissoff is received by the communicator, a 2-second ringback tone will sound at the keypad. Start Exit Delay After Ringback
will cause the exit delay to start after the ringback sounds.
If this option is chosen and no ringback sounds shortly after the control panel is armed, exit delay will not start and opening
the exit/entry door will cause an instant alarm. To manually start the exit delay, select the START EXIT TIME function, then
press
ENTER
to execute.
Note:
(1) If this feature is selected, Exit/Entry Follower Zones will not arm until either a ringback sounds or the START EXIT
TIME function is used. (2) If communicator, telephone lines or central-station receiver is not in service, the system will be
armed without communication capability.
Note:
The Entry Sounder feature cannot be turned off in Keypad Configuration
mode.

Closing Report
Subscriber Identification Numbers
If reporting openings and/or closings, program Subscriber Opening/Closing Identification Numbers for each area for each tele-
phone number used. If reporting events, program Subscriber ID Numbers for each area for each telephone number used.
Subscriber ID numbers must be programmed for each area and telephone number, even if all are the same. Start with the
left-most location.
Supervise Burg Bell Output
When this option is enabled, a 2.2K ohm resistor must be installed across the bell or sounding device terminals. In the event
that the Burg Bell is cut, or the circuit is opened, an
E51-00 BURG BELL TRBL
trouble condition will occur.
Note:
E51 trou-
ble may also be generated with a GEMC-BM or GEMC-BM/PS trouble.
Note:
Due to a constant loop current flowing through
the Burg Bell Output circuit for supervision, some sirens or siren drivers may emit a low volume hum or buzz if the 2.2K EOL
resistor is not installed. If a supervised Burg Bell output is not required, this can be eliminated by programming the option in
PCD-Windows Quickloader (

Suppress "BYPASSED" Icon When Armed
Program to inhibit the LCD "

Swinger Shutdown
Swinger Shutdown is a common term used in the burglary alarm industry. It is a feature of an alarm panel that prevents multi-
ple false alarms from being generated from faulty detectors (or wiring) by limiting the number of alarms a zone may report
during a single arming period. NAPCO has this programmable-by-zone feature named
Swinger Shutdown,
and has been
available on its panels for years. The SIA False Alarm Reduction standard CP-01 requires the SIA definition of "swinger shut-
down" on all non-Fire zones. Our programmable feature allows three trips per arming period which is unacceptable in CP-01
installations. Therefore, to reduce confusion, the following defines both definitions of "Swinger Shutdown", namely (1) the
