Napco's Gemini GEM-P816 is a state-of-the-art microcomputer-based burglary and residential fire alarm control panel of
modular design. Integrally an 8-zone panel, it will support up to 16 zones with the use of optional zone expansion modules,
wireless receiver modules and/or GEM-RP1CAe2 Keypads. Each panel includes an integral digital communicator.
Opening Suppression and Closing Suppression, available through Napco Quickloader software, suppress reporting within
programmed “windows”. Conversely, Exception Reporting can transmit a “fail to close” if the panel is not armed within
programmed intervals and, similarly, a “fail to open” if the panel is not disarmed within programmed intervals. Furthermore,
the panel can be programmed to automatically arm. A log containing up to 400 events (accessible through Quickloader
TM
software) monitors control-panel activity referenced to a precision real-time clock. A detailed event history may be
displayed at the computer, using Napco’s PCD3000 Quickloader Software.
Keypads feature a liquid-crystal display for messages. In normal use, the LCD shows zone identification and status
messages. Conventional LEDs and a sounder are also provided for annunciation.
Data may be quickly and easily downloaded to the control panel using a PC-compatible computer with Napco's PCD3000
Quickloader software and PCI2000 computer interface. Or, the panel may be programmed using the keypad in its
secondary mode of operation. In the keypad programming modes (there are two: Dealer and User), the LCD shows
memory address, data values, programming prompts, and the alphanumeric characters required for entering up to 16 user
codes and custom zone descriptions.
