DESCRIPTION
GEM-RECV Series receivers are the hardwired interface to
Napco's Wireless-Ready
TM
Control Panels. The wireless sys-
tem comprises a compatible GEM-Series control panel, at least
one GEM-RECV receiver and one or more companion GEM-
Series transmitters. The transmitters may be wireless smoke
detectors, space-protection devices, window/door sensors, or
other devices that report zone status and supervision informa-
tion to the receiver without the use of wires.
THE GEM-RECV RECEIVER
Five receivers are available: GEM-RECV8, GEM-RECV16,
GEM-RECV32, GEM-RECV96, GEM-RECV255 will accommo-
date up to 8, 16, 32, 96 and 255 wireless zones, respectively.
The receiver is connected to the control panel's 4-wire bus. The
receiver monitors each transmitter, updating transmitter status
as reports are received, and conveys this information to the
control panel. Also monitored is the elapsed time since the last
report from each transmitter. If no report is received within a
programmed time, a Supervisory Failure will result.
COMPATIBLE CONTROL PANELS
The GEM-receivers listed above are compatible with the follow-
ing control panels:

INSTALLATION
Designing the System
In planning the layout of the system, give careful consideration
to the location of the receiver. Regardless of where the control
panel is mounted, the receiver should be centrally located
within the premises, that is, equally distant from all transmitters.
Choose a location as high above ground level as practical (attic
installations are not recommended), keeping in mind that metal
objects may adversely affect reception. Draw a layout of the
system, identifying all proposed transmitter locations and antici-
pated receiver location. Also include notations indicating con-
struction materials in use. Although wood and wallboard con-
struction will have little effect upon signal strength at the re-
ceiver, concrete or brick can reduce signal strength by up to
35%, while steel-reinforced concrete or metal lath and plaster
can reduce transmitter strength as much as 90%.
