NAPCO GEM-KEYF Quick Start Manual
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GEM-KEYF is a multifunction pendant/keychain trans-
mitter compatible with Napco GEM-Series wireless systems. It
serves as an area arm/disarm device with two auxiliary functions,
and may be used as a police panic and/or auxiliary emergency
transmitter. A 3V Lithium coin cell battery (type CR2032) powers
the GEM-KEYF transmitter. A flashing LED indication signals a
low-battery warning to replace the unit.
The GEM-KEYF leaves the factory as a remote area arm/
disarm transmitter with two Auxiliary buttons, A1 and A2. Auxil-
iary functions are selected by programming Key Fob Transmitter
Aux 1 and Aux 2 options: Panic, Auxiliary, or Instant protection.
In addition, any of the panel's Relay Groups may be selected for
controlling garage doors, exterior lighting, or other applications
requiring external relays (RM3000 Relay Modules, optional).
Note: The Aux 1 Button and Aux 2 Button must each be held
down for approximately 2 seconds before the respective signal
will be sent. The LED will light while the unit is transmitting.
Low-Battery Check. The batteries are checked automatically
during any transmission. A low-battery condition will cause the
LED to come on and start pulsing for approximately 30 seconds;
a low-battery report will be sent to the receiver.
REQUIRED PROGRAMMING
The following information is required for each unit. Refer to the
instructions for the control panel and keypad in use for detailed
