On a Gemini C-Series (GEMC) Fire security system, when I attempt to activate a fire drill from the keypad, nothing happens. How do I activate a fire drill?

Use PCD-Windows Quickloader to program the GEMC series control panel to activate a fire drill, as follows:

1. Open your PCD-Windows Quickloader account and open the NAC/Output Assignment screen, NAC/Output Options tab.  In the Global Options area, program an unused zone for the Fire Drill Zone.
2. Program the zone that is to activate the NAC circuits that you want to activate for the fire drill (use NAC A, NAC B, NAC C and/or NAC D with the GEMC-255 and GEMC-128 panels; use NAC A and/or NAC D with the GEMC-96 and GEMC-32 panels).
3. Physically go to a GEMC-FK1 fire keypad and unlock the keypad.  Press MENU until the display reads "Do Fire Drill", then press YES or ENTER to activate the drill.  When you wish the drill to finish, press RESET.
