Description. 

The GEM-SMK is a high-quality photoelec-

tric smoke detector with built-in supervised digitally-coded 

radio transmitter. It is compatible with Napco’s GEM-

RECV Series supervised security receivers that monitor 

alarms, restores, low battery and status. 

 

The GEM-SMK sounds a local alarm as soon as smoke is 

detected and the transmitter will send an alarm signal to 

the supervised receiver. The alarm signal will be repeated 

every 10 seconds thereafter as long as smoke is still pre-

sent.  A restore report will be sent when the smoke detec-

tion chamber clears.  Supervisory status reports are sent 

from the GEM-SMK every hour. 

 

Coding switches are not required or used in the GEM-

SMK. Each transmitter is assigned a unique identification 

code number at the factory.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

WI750B  2/05 

The smoke detector and transmitter are powered by two 

9-volt alkaline batteries (supplied) which can power the 

unit for up to two years.  If the battery voltage drops be-

low normal, a low-battery report will be sent to the re-

ceiver with any status or alarm transmission.  If a low-

battery condition is indicated, replace 

both 

batteries.  

NOTE: 

Temperature and humidity extremes may reduce 

the life of the battery.
