Basic Operation
R (or A) and B. Change the zone number using keys 0 through 9. Enter two digits for the zone
number (after entering the first digit, the cursor will automatically advance to the second digit). When the second zone
number digit is entered, the cursor will automatically advance to the right, allowing the description locations to be en-
tered. Always press
U or D to save each zone description.
ARMING AND DISARMING THE SYSTEM
In the normal disarmed state, only the green STATUS LED will be on and the display will read “SYSTEM READY”. To
silence an alarm, enter any User Code, then press the
U or D button. Any valid User Code may be used to arm or
disarm; an Arm-Only Code may only be used to arm.
Arming
To arm, enter a valid User Code, then press the D button. (For all "Classic GEM-RP keypads)
To arm, enter a valid User Code, then press the Q button. (For all "K Series" keypads)
(If a wrong code is entered, the keypad will display “INVALID ENTRY / TRY AGAIN”). The green STATUS LED will go off, the
red ARMED LED will go on, and the display will read “PLEASE EXIT IN / XXX SECONDS” (“XXX” representing the programmed
exit-delay time, in seconds). The exit delay will immediately start counting down toward “000”, in 10-second
decrements, indicating the available time remaining to exit through an exit/entry door. Note: If a System Trouble is
displayed, there should be an attempt to correct the system trouble (for example by calling an alarm maintenance or
an alarm repairman). If this cannot be done, then press the
C button to allow 5 minutes to access the keypad
without the system trouble display. Immediate attention should be provided, when system troubles are encountered.
Disarming
When the exit time has elapsed, the display will read “SYSTEM ARMED”. This indicates that upon entering the premises
through an exit/entry door, there will be an entry delay to allow time to disarm the panel. The GEM-RP1CAe2 or GEM-
K1CA display will read “DISARM NOW / XXX SECONDS” (“XXX” representing the programmed entry-delay time, in seconds).
The sounder will come on and the entry delay will immediately start counting down toward “000” in intervals of 10
seconds, indicating the available time remaining to disarm the panel. (Note: The sounder will "pulse" with the GEM-
P1664 version 1.0. The sounder will emit a pulsing warning tone during the final 10 seconds.
To disarm the panel, enter a valid User Code, then press the
U or D button.
Arming in AWAY MODE
AWAY MODE provides for full protection of the perimeter and interior zones. Exit/Entry doors are provided with Exit/
Entry delays. A "Classic" (non "K Series") keypad will display “SYSTEM ARMED”, while a "K Series" keypad will
display “ARMED AWAY.” The RED LED will remain ON. With "K Series" keypads such as the GEM-K1CA and the
GEM-K2AS, press
Q to begin the exit delay process (the exit delay will immediately start counting down toward
“000”, in 10-second decrements, indicating the available time remaining to exit through an exit/entry door).
Arming in STAY MODE
STAY MODE provides partial protection by allowing free movement within the premises, while still protecting the
perimeter zones. Exit/Entry doors are provided with Exit/Entry delays. A "Classic" series keypad will display “SYSTEM
ARMED” with a Bypass Icon and a RED LED that remains ON, while a GREEN LED blinks. With "K Series" keypads
such as the GEM-K1CA and the GEM-K2AS, pressing the STAY button bypasses all interior zones simultaneously,
and arms the panel in "STAY MODE". The keypad will display "ARMED STAY". If the STAY button is pressed and held
when the panel is already armed in STAY MODE, the panel will enter "Instant Mode" and eliminate the entry time de-
lay period.
Instant Arming
INSTANT ARMING allows exit/entry zones to immediately go into alarm when violated, with no Exit/Entry time delay.
This feature can be used to provide instant protection while you or someone else is on the premises. With the
"Classic" keypads, to arm "Stay" and obtain Instant Arming, press
E and F, then enter your user code and
press
D. With the "K Series" keypads, enter your user code and press P. Then press and hold P until key-
pad beeps Instant Arming will be automatically reset on disarming.
