If a zone is not secured, the light will be off and the zone will display in 8 the window.
SETTING THE ALARM (ARMING) WHEN LEAVING 12 INTERIOR BYPASS FIRE/TBL SYS TBL CHIME 1. Check the keypad. The green STATUS light must be on in order to arm. • If the green light is off, the number(s) of any unsecured zone(s) will display in the window. Note each problem zone and secure it by closing a window, door, etc. When all zones are secure, the green STATUS light will come on. • Bypass faulted zones. If you cannot locate or repair the problem yourself, call for assistance.
SETTING THE ALARM (ARMING) WHEN LEAVING P INTERIOR BYPASS FIRE/TBL SYS TBL CHIME If you attempt to arm with a system trouble, a 3-second tone will sound at the keypad. (See SYSTEM TROUBLE ERROR CODES for descriptions of codes.) The window will display “P”. If you cannot correct the problem immediately, pressing the C button will enable you to arm in this condition. Be sure to call for service as soon as possible.
PROTECTING YOURSELF WHILE ON THE PREMISES Bypassing Interior Zones INTERIOR BYPASS FIRE/TBL SYS TBL CHIME Interior Zones, when bypassed, allow free movement within the premises while the protection of armed perimeter zones is maintained. If the E button is pressed, all Interior Zones will be bypassed upon arming. Some control panels have provisions for two groups of Interior Zones. Enter your code, then press the Jbutton.
PROTECTING YOURSELF WHILE ON THE PREMISES Emergency Buttons (Only available if programmed) The Blue Emergency Buttons (F, A and P), if programmed, are always active, whether the system is armed or disarmed. The emergency signal will only be activated when the respective Emergency Button and the G button are pressed at the same time. • Fire Emergency. Simultaneously press the 7 and tons to alert the central station of a fire emergency. G • Auxiliary Emergency.
TURNING OFF THE ALARM (DISARMING) WHEN RETURNING 1. Upon entry, the red ARMED light will be on and the keypad sounder will come on as a reminder to disarm the panel. During the final 10 seconds, the sounder will pulse a warning signal. 2. Immediately enter your code, then press the Jbutton. The sounder will silence and the red ARMED light will go out. Note: If you enter an invalid code, the keypad will beep 4 times, signifying an error. Re-enter your code immediately.
TURNING OFF THE ALARM (DISARMING) WHEN RETURNING Ambush (Ambush programmed? YES NO.) The Ambush Code (optional) is a 2-digit code that is entered just prior to your Disarm Code. If an intruder forces you to disarm your system, (a) enter your Ambush Code; (b) enter your Disarm Code; (c) press the Jbutton. Example: If your regular Arm/Disarm Code is 1234 and your Ambush Code is 99, press 34 J. This will send a silent alarm to the central station.
FIRE PROTECTION (Applicable only where local ordinance permits use of this alarm control panel for fire protection.) 08 Fire-Zone Alarm INTERIOR BYPASS FIRE/TBL SYS TBL CHIME If a fire is detected, the “FIRE TBL” light will display with the zone number and the keypad sounder will pulse. 1. If a fire is in progress, evacuate the premises immediately! If necessary, call the Fire Department from an outside phone. 2.
FIRE PROTECTION Preparing a Fire Escape Plan Even with the most advanced fire alarm system, adequate protection requires an escape plan. To prepare your plan, draw floor plans of your building. (Space is provided on the next page.) Show two exits - a front or back door and a window from each room. (Make sure the window works. You may need a special fire-escape ladder if the window is high up.) Write down your outside meeting place. Family Rehearsal. Rehearse each of the following activities: 1.
FIRE PROTECTION Floorplan Draw a plan of your premises in the space provided below. Floorplan 14 GEM-RP3DGTL.
FIRE PROTECTION LIMITATIONS OF FIRE ALARM WARNING SYSTEMS Although a fire alarm system may be of a reliable and state-of- the-art design, neither it nor its peripheral detection devices can offer guaranteed protection against fire. Any such equipment may fail to warn for a variety of reasons: • Control panels, communicators, dialers, smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without power.
KEYPAD FUNCTIONS The keypad can provide a wide assortment of utility functions. The functions are displayed in a prompting “yes/no” format. To skip a function, answer NO (press the F button); to select and execute a function, answer YES (press the E button or press the Jbutton). Note: Functions may be manually scrolled forward or backward using the A and B buttons, respectively. To return to normal keypad operation, press the C button.

CENTRAL STATION MONITORING Your alarm specialist may have programmed your system to be monitored by a central station. The built-in digital communicator can transmit emergency signals and status reports to the central station 24 hours a day. armed. Any or all of up to 96 different users can each be identified. If your system reports on arming (Closing Report), the central station will acknowledge arming. This will signal at the keypad as a “ringback” beep.
ADVANCED FEATURES Security Bypass/Unbypass (Security Bypass programmed? YES NO.) In high-security applications, zones may be bypassed (or unbypassed) only if a valid code is entered first, as follows: + 1. Enter a code valid for bypass, then press the B button. + 2. Press the B button then the zone number (or vice versa) to deactivate that zone. Similarly, a bypassed zone may be unbypassed using the foregoing procedure. 22 GEM-RP3DGTL.
ADVANCED FEATURES Start Exit Time After Ringback (for Commercial Burglary Systems only) (Start Exit Time programmed? YES NO.) If your system reports to a central station, your panel may have been programmed to start exit delay after the central-station ringback (verification) signal. Then, after arming, your system will communicate to the central station. After the central station acknowledges receipt (ringback), exit delay will start.
PROGRAMMING (OPTIONAL) Introduction tions are disabled. The Program Mode (optional) is used to customize User Codes. Access to the Program Mode requires a special User Code, therefore not all users may have the ability to program. • If the keypad detects no activity in the Program Mode for more than 4 minutes, a tone will sound; to silence the tone, press the G button. Note: • If the system contains more than one keypad, only the keypad designated “No.
PROGRAMMING (OPTIONAL) 6. Continuing, set the cursor to the user code with the A button and enter the new User Code using the number buttons. Press G0 for any blank locations until you end up back to the flashing “UP”. 7. Press the Jbutton to save the code in memory. Repeat Steps 4 through 7 for each user. Note: To void a code, simply enter the 2-digit user number, then press the Jbutton. Programming Example Example. Program User 3's Code as “3784”. 1.
GLOSSARY Following are brief descriptions of terms and features used herein that may be unfamiliar to you. Some of the features are programmable options that may or may not apply to your particular system. Abort Delay - A delay period that allows the control panel to be reset, thus aborting a report to a central station. Access Code - A code (up to 6 digits) used to remotely unlock a door. Ambush Code - A 2-digit code entered just prior to the User Code when forced to disarm.
GLOSSARY Manager's Mode - In a partitioned system, a low-security operating mode that allows arming by area. Panic Buttons - Blue buttons on the keypad (G and 7, 8 or 9). If enabled, pressing G together with 7, 8 or 9 will alert the central station of a fire, auxiliary, or police emergency. Partitioned System - A system that has been subdivided into two or more (up to eight) independent subsystems (areas). Pre-Alarm Warning. - A keypad sounder alert of an impending alarm.
GLOSSARY • Exit/Entry Follower Zone: Provides exit and entry delay for interior devices. Entry delay only occurs if re-entry takes place through the normal exit/entry door first. • Fire Zone: Detects fire alarms or trouble conditions. • Interior Zones: Circuits within the premises, usually including space-protection devices, interior doors, etc.; but not exterior doors or windows. These can all be bypassed simultaneously using the E button. (Two groups of InteriorZones may be programmed for each area.
SYSTEM TROUBLE ERROR CODES Your control panel is capable of detecting a variety of troubles that may affect system performance. In the unlikely event that a problem should occur, the SYS TBL (system trouble) light will display in the window along with one or more of the following error codes. Several of these messages are intended for use by your installer or servicer. If any message appears that is unfamiliar to you, call your security professional for service. E01-00 AC power failure.
