NAPCO GEM-RECV16 Installation Instructions - page 2

Note: In difficult installations wherein distant transmitters pose
reception problems, the use of multiple receivers throughout
the premises is recommended. (The GEM-P816, P1632,
P1664 and P3200 control panels will accommodate two re-
ceivers; the GEM-P9600 and GEM-X255, up to four). Receiv-
ers are connected to the panel's 4-wire bus. They should be
uniquely addressed (see ADDRESSING MULTIPLE RECEIV-
ERS) and all be of the same type, that is, all GEM-RECV8, all
GEM-RECV16, etc.
Note: If receivers are intermixed, the panel will only recognize
the capacity of the lowest one.
Mounting and Wiring the Receiver
After its location has been determined, remove the front cover
and orient the receiver so that the antennas are at the top.
Allowing at least 12 inches clearance for the antenna, mount
the receiver using two screws suitable to the mounting surface
through the two mounting holes in the rear cover (see Wiring
Diagram). Using 4-conductor cable, wire the receiver to the
control panel in accordance with the following table:
GETTING UP AND RUNNING
(Also see Quick Method, which follows).
For each transmitter, enter:
• the zone number to which the transmitter will be mapped;
• the 6-digit ID Code: 1-digit checksum number printed on
the transmitter and box;
• the wireless point number.
Note: When programming the ID Code at the keypad

Key Fob Transmitters. Referring to the programming instruc-
tions for the control panel, enter the following:
• an assigned Key Fob Transmitter number (1—16);
• the Area number(s) to which the Key Fob Transmitter is
designated;
• the 6-digit hexadecimal identification code with 1-digit
checksum number printed on the transmitter (enter all
numbers and/or letters, including leading zeros, if any);
• Aux. 1 options (see programming worksheets);
• Aux. 2 options (see programming worksheets).
Quick Method
If a receiver is already installed in the panel, Napco Trans-
mitter wireless points can be programmed automatically
("enrolled"). Note: (1) The transmitter point will be enrolled
only if the signal strength is 3 or greater. (2) Enroll a single-
point device by merely powering it up. (3) Quick Method is
not applicable to Keyfob Transmitters.
Enter the Program Mode. Scroll to the RF Transmitter Points
entry screen and proceed as follows.
1. Enter the zone number to which the transmitter point will
be mapped.
2. Press
B
to enter the Enroll Mode. The red and green
LEDs on the keypad will flash and will display as shown
below (GEM-RP1CAe2).
3. Open the loop of the point that is to be programmed.
4. Install the transmitter battery. The keypad will indicate
that the point has been successfully enrolled.
Multi-Point Transmitters can be mapped to successive
zones simultaneously (Example 1) or to selected point by
point. (Example 2).
Example 1: A 2 point transmitter has the ID Code number 410078.
Map the two points to Zones 11 and 12 respectively.
1. Enter the Enroll mode as described in step 2 above.
2. Enter Zone "11".
3. Open the loops of points 1 and 2.
4. Install the transmitter battery. The keypad will beep twice
to indicate that two points have been
Transmitter 410078, point 1 will be mapped to Zone 11
Transmitter 410078, point 2 will be mapped to Zone 12
The keypad will now display Zone 12, the last zone enrolled.
Example 2. A 2-point transmitter has the 1D Code number 287613.
Map point 1 to Zone 6 and point 2 to Zone 9.
1. Enter the Enroll mode as described above.
2. Enter Zone 06.
3. Open point-1 loop.
4. Install the battery. The keypad will beep once to indicate
that one point has been programmed. (Transmitter point
1 will be mapped to Zone 6).
5. Enter Zone "09".
6. Open point-2 loop.
7. Remove the transmitter battery, then re-install it. The
keypad will beep once to indicate that one point has been
programmed. (Transmitter 287613, point 2 is Zone 9.)
CHECKING TRANSMITTERS
The status of each transmitter may be checked at the keypad.
Referring to the control panel installation instructions and the
user's guide for the keypad in use, display transmitter status to
show (a) the zone to which transmitter point is mapped; (b) the
transmitter's 6-digit RF ID number (c) the point number; (d)
transmitter status (normal, open, low battery, etc.); and (e) the
signal strength of its last transmission.
Signal Strength
Relative signal strength is displayed on a scale of 1-10, with 10
being the strongest. A reading of "No Data S —" denotes that
a report from that not yet been received. Readings less than
"3" indicate reception is poor and may be unreliable. In this
case, the use of a second receiver located closer to the is ad-
