INTRODUCTION
The GEM-RP8LCD is a user-friendly, menu-driven digital keypad that is
compatible with the NAPCO GEM-Series GEM-P800, P801, and P400
control-panels. Refer to User Guide OI276 for operation instructions.
While the GEM-RP8 may be used to fully program any of the previous
listed panels, the GEM-RP8LCD keypad provides the optimum in ease
of keypad and panel programming. In addition, to ease installation, the
RP8LCD includes an internal Expansion Zone Module (EZM) inside the
keypad itself.
SPECIFICATIONS
Operating Voltage: 12 V DC (supplied by panel)
Current Drain: 100 mA Standby
35 mA (cut Jumpers W1, W2 and W3)
Dimensions: 4 3/8” x 5 7/8” x 1 1/8”
Note:
Subtract keypad current from combined auxiliary current of the
control panel.
MOUNTING THE KEYPAD
A keypad should be located near each exit/entry door. To open the
case, insert a screwdriver into either slot at the bottom and push up with
a slight twisting motion to release the retainer tab. Repeat for the other
slot. Pull out at the bottom and lift off the two hooks at the top.
The GEM-RP8LCD features a handy pull-up reference label. (This label
must be used in UL installations). Before mounting the keypad onto the
wall, push the sliding label plate (with label and felt backing affixed and
handle facing forward) down the guides at the rear of the keypad until it
snaps into place. Once installed, the sliding label plate cannot be
removed without first removing the keypad from the wall.
Note:
The
keypad fire and panic keys should not be considered a substitute for a
listed manual initiating device, such as a pull box.
If installing onto a double-gang box, insert mounting screws through the
two vertical elongated holes on the left side of the case and into the box.
If the box is visible when viewed from the front, adjust the keypad
vertically and tighten the screws. Then, using hardware suitable for the
mounting surface, add one or two screws at the right side of the keypad
case directly into the wall to ensure a secure installation.
Note:
Do not
over tighten the screws!
Uneven walls may cause the keypad case to
distort.
WIRING
Connect the keypad wires as shown in the table below.
Caution
: Do not
run keypad wiring with loop wiring.
