L NAPCO Security Systems X GEM-X255 Installation InstructionsWI1093A 12/01 !Page 9INSTALLATIONINSTALLATIONMOUNTINGControl PanelChoose a mounting location accessible to (a) a continuously-powered AC source, (b) system ground, a steel or copperground rod, ideally no further away than 10 feet, and (c) telephone lines (keep telephone wiring away from keypad wires).Remove appropriate knockouts for cables. Place the control panel at a convenient viewing height and mark the mountingholes. Attach the enclosure using screws suitable for the mounting surface.GroundingConnect the control-panel grounding screw through a No. 16 AWG. or larger wire to a long steel or copper ground roddriven deeply into the earth. Do not use a gas pipe, plastic pipe or ac ground connections. Make the run as short anddirect as possible, without any sharp bends in the wire.Tamper SwitchesTamper switches may be installed to prevent opening of the control-panel door or removal of the cabinet from the wall.Ideally, tamper switches should be connected to a zone that is active at all times, thus it may be necessary to programthat zone as a 24-Hour Zone or Day Zone. When used on a normally-open zone, normally-closed tamper switches (openwhen set) should be wired in parallel. On a normally-closed zone, install Napco TPS-2 normally-open tamper switches(closed when set) in series.There are two places in the cabinet to mount tamper switches: (1) To prevent cabinet removal from the wall, there arethree mounting holes on the left side of the cabinet, another hole on the back that allows the switch button to contact thewall. (2) To prevent opening the cabinet door, there are three mounting holes on the right side of the cabinet. Whenmounted, the switch button should contact the inside of the door. Be sure to alert the user that opening the enclosuredoor will cause a tamper alarm. Note: Each tamper switch is furnished with three machine screws for mounting, and oneself-tapping screw. The sole purpose of the self-tapping screw is to tap the holes for the machine screws; it may bediscarded after use.KeypadA keypad should be located near each exit/entry door. The keypad features a handy pull-up reference label. Beforemounting the keypad onto the wall, push the Sliding Label Plate (with label and felt backing affixed and handle facingforward) down the guides at the rear of the keypad until it snaps into place. Once installed, the Sliding Label Plate cannotbe removed without first removing the keypad from the wall. Note: (1) The keypad fire and panic keys should not beconsidered a substitute for a listed manual initiating device, such as a pull box. (2) Each GEM-RP1CAe2 includesprovisions for four additional zones. See ADDING EXPANSION ZONES.If installing onto a double-gang box, insert mounting screws through the two vertical elongated holes on the left side ofthe case and into the box. If the box is visible when viewed from the front, adjust the keypad vertically and tighten thescrews. Then, using hardware suitable for the mounting surface, add one or two screws at the right side of the keypadcase directly into the wall to ensure a secure installation. Note: Do not overtighten the screws! Uneven walls may causethe keypad case to distort.CAUTION: This equipment generates and uses radio-frequency energy. If not installed using conventional installationpractices for RF devices, it may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been tested and found tocomply with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designedto provide reasonable protection against such interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will notoccur in a particular installation. If it has been found to cause interference to radio or television reception, which can bedetermined by removing and reapplying AC and battery power to the equipment, the installer should try to correct theinterference by one or more of the following measures: reorient the receiving antenna; connect the power transformer toa different outlet so that the control panel and receiver are on different branch circuits; relocate the control panel withrespect to the receiver.
