DIRECT ADDRESS OVERVIEW
Direct Address Programming allows you to go directly to the address locations (up to 8179) and change the data entries
manually in order to customize your control panel options. Whereas the Easy Menu Program Mode guides you through
limited selections to get you started,
Direct Address Program Mode allows you to change all options directly. It consists
of up to 8179 address locations each with data entry locations as shown in the following diagram (below left). The data
entry location accepts data in one of three formats: Binary, Decimal and Hexadecimal (explained below in "
Address
Mode Displays " ). The following diagram (below right) illustrates a
Decimal
format data entry location (using a
GEMC-FK1 Fire keypad). Note:
PCD-Windows MUST be used to place the Gemini C-Series system into operation.
ADDRESS MODE DISPLAYS
There are three types of address displays when programming in Direct Entry Program Mode, as follows:
A) BINARY (BIT) FORMAT
Settings (such as Zone Features) display and accept data in binary "bit" or "number" format. For example, Zone
Features are turned on by the pressing of keypad buttons 1 through 8, with the activated Zone(s) displaying the cor-
responding decimal digit (replacing deactivated zones which are signified by dashes).
EXAMPLE: With the GEMC-FK1 Fire keypad: Pr o g r am Zo n es 2, 4, 5 an d 7 as
Ex i t /En t r y Fo l l o w er Zo n es
.
