X GEM-X255 Installation Instructions L NAPCO Security SystemsWI1093C 3/04! Page 22BASIC OPERATIONThis section provides a brief overview of system operation. For detailed operation, refer to the User's Guide furnished withthe keypad (see page 8 for a complete listing) and to the Keypad Programming Modes at the end of this manual. NOTE: Key-pad displays shown in this text are for the GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA keypads.USER CODES & ZONE DESCRIPTIONS(Refer to the GEM-X255 Programming Instructions (WI1092) for a detailed explanation of programming). Up to 96 per-sonal user codes may be programmed at the keypad (up to 195 with PCD-Windows Download software). NOTE: The AreaOptions associated with each User Code may only be programmed in the Dealer Program Mode.Default User Code.The first code programmed should replace the default (User 001) code, "001 123 - - ", (1,2,3), which should not be se-lected as a user code.Each user should be assigned his own dissimilar code and should be cautioned against divulging his code to anyone else.Thus should it become necessary to remove a user from the system, that one code may be cancelled without affecting othercodes, and that user would then be prevented from entry. Note: Duplicate User Codes are not allowed by the panel; thereforea duplicate Code entered in the LCD Window will erase when U is pressed.Changing or Canceling a User CodeTo change any user code, merely program over the existing user code as described in the Programming Instructions.Similarly, to cancel a user code, blank out each number of the user code.Arm/Disarm Code (Programmable in Dealer Program Mode only)An Arm/Disarm Code may be used to arm/disarm the area in which it is programmed. Up to 6 digits may be programmedor it may be programmed as a two-digit code for the purposes of arming quickly.Arm-Only Code (Programmable in Dealer Program Mode only)An Arm-Only Code may only be used to arm the area in which it is programmed; it has no disarm capability. Up to 6 digitsmay be programmed or it may be programmed as a two-digit code for the purposes of arming quickly.Service Code (Programmable in Dealer Program Mode only)A Service Code is an Arm/Disarm Code that is easily activated when needed, and dormant at other times. Intended for theoccasional or temporary user (repairman, etc.) who would otherwise be denied access to the premises. It may then be used toarm and disarm just as any other User Code. A Service Code can be armed/disarmed from a disarmed state, but it cannot bearmed/disarmed from an armed state, after another user code has been entered. Up to 6 digits may be programmed or it maybe programmed as a two-digit code for the purposes of quicker arming.Keypad Access Code (Programmable in Dealer Program Mode only)Any User Code may have Keypad Access through a door with a striker by programming the keypad's Access Byte (the lasttwo digits of the code). Program the Keypad Access Byte for the applicable keypads 1 through 8. If the Access Byte isprogrammed, that User Code will function only a Remote Access Code and not as an Arm/Disarm Code. Entering the code willcause a 5-second active-low output on the PGM line with a pulsing sounder at the keypad and "**ENTER NOW**" (or othercustomized message) displayed. Note: (1) Keypads may be programmed for access only, eliminating their arm/disarmfunction (keypad will then normally display "**ENTER CODE**"). (2) Keypad access may be logged into the event log by keypad.The Access Code will trip the panel's Aux. Relay while armed or disarmed if the "Access Control on Auxiliary Output" and "Aux.Output Access Control Time" is programmed. The Access Code is programmed as any other user code but without arm/disarm capability. Note: These systems have not been investigated by UL for compliance with UL294 (Access Control Sys-tems).Ambush CodeThe Ambush Code is special user code entered by the user typically to cause a silent report to be sent to the central sta-tion. Thus, should the user be forced to disarm by an assailant, he can silently signal an emergency while appearing to bemerely disarming the panel. (Check the glossary for programming required to enable this feature). The user can program thepanel with individual Ambush Codes by programming "Enable Ambush in User Assign Code Type".Zone Descriptions. (GEM-RP1CAe2/GEM-K1CA only)Zone descriptions follow the Program Code in the normal programming sequence ("001-" will appear in the display). Pro-gram the description, up to two lines, letter by letter. Buttons 1 and 2 control the position of the cursor. ButtonsBASIC OPERATION
