FIRE PROTECTION  
LIMITATIONS OF FIRE ALARM WARNING SYSTEM  
provide early-enough warning for a variety of  
reasons: (a) they may not sense fires that start  
where smoke cannot reach them, such as in  
chimneys, walls, roofs, behind closed doors,  
etc.; (b) they may not sense a fire on a different  
level of the residence or building; (c) they have  
sensing limitations; no smoke detector can  
sense every kind of fire every time.  
alarm is obscured by noise from a stereo, radio,  
air conditioner, or other appliance, or by  
passing traffic, etc. Alarm warning devices,  
however loud, may fail to warn the hearing  
impaired.  
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:  
Alarm products, as all electrical devices,  
are subject to component failure. Even though  
the equipment is designed for many years of  
Control panels, communicators, dialers,  
smoke detectors, and many other sensing  
devices will not work without power. Battery-  
operated devices will not work without batteries,  
with dead batteries, or with improperly-installed  
batteries. Devices powered solely by AC will  
not work if their power source is cut off for any  
reason.  
Thermostatic heat detectors do not  
always detect fires because the fire may be a  
slow smoldering low-heat type (producing  
smoke); because they may not be near the fire;  
or because the heat of the fire may bypass  
them. These detectors will not detect oxygen  
levels, smoke, toxic gases, or flames.  
Therefore, they may only be used as part of a  
comprehensive fire-detection system in  
conjunction with other devices. Under no  
circumstances should thermostatic heat  
detectors be relied upon as the sole measure to  
ensure fire safety.  
trouble-free performance,  
components could fail at any time.  
electronic  
Above are some of the reasons that fire  
alarm equipment could fail. The most common  
cause of an alarm system not functioning when  
a
fire occurs is inadequate testing and  
maintenance. The system should be tested at  
least weekly to ensure that all the equipment is  
working properly.  
Fires often cause a failure of electrical  
power. If the system does not contain a working  
battery backup power supply, and if the  
electrical circuit feeding the devices is cut or is  
not providing power for any reason, the system  
will not detect heat or smoke or provide any  
warning of a possible fire.  
While an alarm system may make one  
eligible for lower insurance rates, it is not a  
substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property  
owners, and renters are therefore urged to  
maintain adequate insurance coverage of life  
and property.  
Alarm warning devices such as sirens,  
bells, or horns may not alert someone behind a  
closed or partially-opened door. Warning  
devices located on one level are less likely to  
alert those on a different level. Even those who  
are awake may not hear the warning if the  
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm  
signals to a central monitoring station may be  
out of service.  
Smoke detectors, though highly effective  
in reducing fire deaths, may not activate or

In high-security applications, zones may be bypassed (or unbypassed) only if a valid code is entered first, as follows:  
1. Enter a User Code valid for bypass, then press B.  
2. Press B then the zone number (or vice versa) to deactivate that zone.  
Similarly, a bypassed zone may be unbypassed using the same procedure. (This feature available for GEM-P3200/9600 pan-  
els only).  
Start Exit Time After Ringback (for Commercial Burglary Systems only)  
(Optional - 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. If ringback is not heard within about 30 seconds, a communication  
problem may exist; call for service. Function 11 (Start Exit Time) may then be used to manually start the exit delay, however  
reporting capability may be sacrificed. (If your system does not report or the ringback feature was not programmed, exit delay  
will start as soon as your code is entered. Also note that if an exception window is programmed, and the closing is within that  
window, no ringback is provided. Ask your alarm professional if this feature is enabled). (This feature available for GEM-  
P3200/9600 panels only).  
Exit-Delay Restart

PROGRAMMING USER CODES  
Your Installer has programmed into your system a special User Program Code which can be used to not only Arm and Disarm  
the system, but also to enter the User Program Mode, where you can program other User Codes. The following explains how  
you will use this code to program or erase additional User Codes.  
Entering the User Program Mode  
1 Enter your User Code, then press Rto enter the Function Mode.  
2 Answer NO (press Q) until “17” (Activate Program) is displayed, then press YES (P) .

The keypad sounder will beep while in the User Program Mode.  
Programming / Reprogramming a User Code  
1 Press R, followed by the the 2 digits of the user number to be programmed ( Example: for User 4, enter 04).  
2 Press R, followed by the new User Code (up to 6 digits).  
3 Press Rrepeatedly until “UP” is displayed.  
4 Press Uto save the new User Code. Note: Duplicate Codes are not allowed; therefore a duplicate Code entered in the  
LCD Window will erase when Uis pressed. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 for each User Code to be programmed.  
Erasing a User Code  
To erase a User Code, press R, the 2-digit user number, Rfollowed by G0 until “UP” is displayed, then U.  
Example: Erase User 3’s User Code:

PROGRAMMING USER CODES  
Exiting the User Program Mode  
When you have completed programming or erasing User Codes, press C to exit the User Program Mode.  
Programming Example:  
Example. Program the User 3 Code to “3784”.  
1. Enter your User Code, followed by R.  
2. Answer NO (press Q) repeatedly until “17” is displayed, then press YES (P).  
The display will scroll “P” followed by 4 digits,then “UP” (indicating User Programming) and the keypad lights will flash.  
3. Press Rfollowed by 03 (for User 3), then Ragain followed by 3784RR  
to program the code. (“UP” will display)  
4. Press Uto save the code.  
5. Press C to exit the Program Mode.  
Notes:  
If the system contains more than one keypad, only the keypad designated “No. 1” may be used for programming (if in  
doubt which is No. 1, ask your installer).  
While in Program Mode, the ARMED and STATUS lights remain off and burglar and fire alarm functions are disabled.  
In selecting your codes, do not program repetitive numbers (1111), consecutive numbers (1234), your birth date, address, or other  
obvious combinations. Choose a code of up to six digits (a minimum of four is recommended, and required in UL installations).  
Note: Duplicate Codes are not allowed; therefore a duplicate Code entered in the LCD Window will erase when Uis pressed.  
While in Program Mode, the keypad beeps every 15 seconds.  
If the keypad detects no Program Mode activity for more than 4 minutes, a steady tone will sound. Press C to silence.
