FIRE GLOSSARY 

Enable GEMC-F8ZCPIM 

        Enables the GEMC-F8ZCPIM Conventional 8 Fire Zone Expander Plug in Module.  See WI1651. 
 

Enable GEMC-FPRINT 

        Use when the GEMC-FPRINT module is attached to the system.  The GEMC-FPRINT Parallel Printer Interface is wired to the 

Fire bus and allows the Gemini C-Series control panels to be connected to a parallel printer for recording system activity.  
When installed on a control panel (programmed via Quickloader), GEMC-FPRINT will create reports using the same custom 
User, Area and Zone descriptions that have been entered into Quickloader.   

 

Enable Remote Reporting 
Disable Remote Reporting 

        This GEMC-FK1 Fire keypad menu option is intended to simplify servicing and downloading program changes, and appears 

only when the GEMC-FK1 Fire keypad is unlocked with the dealer or keypad program code.  The system menu default on 
power up is "enabled", thus the option "

Disable Remote Reporting

" will appear in the keypad display (when disabled, the 

option  "

Enable Remote Reporting

" will appear).   

        When "Disable Remote Reporting" is selected, any pending reporting will stop and no additional reports will be initiated 

(including Fire, Supervisory, Fire Trouble and/or non-Fire events).  In addition, when exiting the keypad menu options (by 
pressing 

RESET

), the keypad will display a trouble with the 

TBL

 and 

DISABLE

 icons flashing and the keypad mini-sounder 

pulsing: 

 

"

E89-00 ...REMOTE REPORTING DISABLED

 

        To silence the mini-sounder

, press 

RESET

 (the 

TBL

 and 

DISABLE

 icons will stop flashing and will light steady).   

        To clear  the E89 trouble

, unlock the Fire keypad with the 

Master Security Code

 or 

Dealer Keypad Program Code

, press 

MENU

 until "

Enable Remote Reporting

" appears, then press 

ENTER

 or 

NEXT

 to select.  The 

TBL

 and 

DISABLE

 icons will 

turn off (if no other disabled zones/outputs are disabled and there are no other troubles).  To exit the keypad menu, press 

RE-

SET

.  

Note:

  D

isabling the remote reporting is recommended before any local or remote 

F

ire download is attempted. 

 

Enable Set Time/Date Message  

        In the event of, for example, a prolonged power outage of AC and DC, the loss of the system clock will occur and a message 

"

SET TIME / DATE

" will be displayed on the GEMC-FK1 keypad.  The message will remain until the time and date have been 

re-programmed.  This option is located in the PCD-Windows Quickloader

 Keypad Features

 screen.   

 

Enable Telco Line 1 
Enable Telco Line 2 

        When both features are enabled and both telephone lines are not in trouble, the panel will alternate reporting attempts be-

tween both lines.  These features are located in the Quickloader 

Digital Communications 

screen. 

 
 

Enable Telephone Line 1 Fault Test 
Enable Telephone Line 2 Fault Test 

        

Enable Telephone Line 1 Fault Test 

will cause the panel to monitor telephone line 1.  

Enable Telephone Line 2 Fault Test 

will cause the panel to monitor telephone line 2.  A failure will display as "

TELCO LN TROUBLE E08-NN SERVICE

" (NN = Telco 

line number 1 or 2.).  For Burglary systems, program this system trouble to activate the Burglary Bell.  System trouble dis-
plays after a programmed delay of low on hook voltage and no off hook line current from connected phone line. 

         

Enable User Code by Area 

        In multiple-area systems, User Codes are programmable, each with its dedicated Authority Level and Access Byte.  (The Au-

thority Level comprises an Option Code).  Refer to Programming Manual WI1673 for descriptions of levels and options.   

        Fire  User  Code:

  This code is typically used by a person in authority to control the system after an alarm.  For example, after 

arriving at the premises, a fireman will likely need to access the system, investigate the number of alarms that occurred, de-
termine the part of the system that was affected, view events in the Fire log, etc.  Another example of a person in possession 
of a Fire User Code is the principal of a school who is required to initiate fire drills (the keypad has a "Do Fire Drill" selection).  
The Fire User Code allows the 

ACK.

SILENCE 

and 

RESET 

keypad buttons to operate, and allows other various "Function 

Menu" options to function (see "Function Menu" further in this manual). 

 

Expansion Zones 
EZM Type 

        Zones 9 and above are expansion zones added to the basic system using a GEMC-EZM8.  Refer to 

ADD EXPANSION 

ZONES 

(in WI1653, Volume 1) and the wiring diagram.  Also see the instructions accompanying each module for wiring infor-

mation. 

        Regardless of how the modules are arranged, the expansion zones are divided into consecutively-numbered Groups of four.  

Each module may comprise 1 Group (4 Zones) or 2 Groups (8 Zones).  

NOTE:  

The default setting is 2 Groups (8 Zones).  

Place jumper J1 on #7 for 4 Zone, remove for 8 Zone.  See WI1683 for additional specifications and other information.
