Answer:
The Gemini GEM-P3200, GEM-P9600, or GEM-X255 burglary alarm control panels can be programmed to provide a voltage trigger or a dry contact closure using a low current relay.  This relay can be used to trigger your water valve controller to close...

With Gemini C-Series (GEMC) and Firewolf systems, can an end user be programmed to be allowed to add or delete user codes through the keypad?

Answer:
No, it is not possible for a user to add or delete user codes through keypad programming.  The only similar user code function available is to update a known user code already programmed in system.

How do I set up a FWC-FSLC-SOM1-E Supervised Output Module in place of a NAC Extender with Gemini C-Series (GEMC) control panels (including Firewolf and FireLink panels)?

Answer:
To set up a FWC-FSLC-SOM1-E Supervised Output Module in place of a NAC Extender with GEMINI GEMC series control panels (including Firewolf and FireLink panels), you will need a fire-rated 24VDC power supply and, possibly, a sync module for the...

If I use a Gemini C-Series (GEMC) control panel as a "Burg-only" control panel, do I have to add resistors to all NAC circuits?

Answer:
Yes.  As shown in the image below, if you are using a Gemini C-Series (GEMC) Control Panel as a "Burg-only" control panel, you MUST add resistors to all NAC circuits as they are all supervised.  Remember, Area 1 will always be a Fire Area,...

How do I prevent ground fault System Troubles when installing Gemini C-Series (GEMC) power supply PC boards?

Answer:
Note that the GEMC-PS24V7A or GEMC-PS24V4A power supply boards are mounted inside the enclosure under the control panel motherboard, and therefore must be the first board installed in the enclosure.

How do I link multiple elevator recall outputs to the Gemini C-Series (GEMC) fire control panel?

Answer:
Using PCD-Windows Quickloader to link multiple elevator recall outputs to the Gemini C-Series (GEMC) fire control panel:

How do I program my Gemini C-Series (GEMC) and Firewolf control panel NAC circuits to synchronize System Sensor and/or Wheelock strobes or horn/strobes?

Answer:
Program your Fire zones for the required on-board panel NACs (NAC A and/or NAC D for 32 and 96 zone control panels; NAC A and B or C or D for 128 and 255 zone control panels, shown below).
...

How do I wire and program supervised NAC extenders with my Gemini C-Series (GEMC) and Firewolf control panel?

Answer:
Some fire installations require additional NAC circuits beyond the integral NACs provided on the control panel. All Gemini C-Series (GEMC) and Firewolf control panels have the ability to synchronize up five supervised NAC extenders (using System...

With a Gemini C-Series (GEMC) or FireLink control panel, how do I use PCD-Windows Quickloader software to program the FWC-FSLC-CZM Conventional Zone Module?

Answer:
The Napco FWC-FSLC-CZM Conventional Zone Module allows the control panel fire SLC (Signaling Line Circuit) loop to interface with and monitor two-wire conventional detectors or pull stations.  When used with the GEMC-F8ZCPIM Conventional 8 Fire...

How do I programming NAC circuits for Resettable and Non-Resettable power with my Gemini C-Series (GEMC) control panel?

Answer:
Some fire alarm systems require devices to be powered.  Any of the NAC circuits can be programmed to supply 24VDC, and they can also be programmed to drop power to restore devices upon a Fire Alarm Restore.  Note:  The 24V supplied by...

I found older horns and/or 4-wire horn strobes installed in my Gemini C-Series (GEMC) system. How do I wire and program my GEMC control panel to have the panel generate the required Temporal 3 cadence?

Answer:
When retrofitting older GEMC / Firewolf control panels, installers may find older horns and/or 4-wire horn strobes installed.  Unlike the newer smart devices, these older NAC devices may not include a pre-programmed Temporal 3 cadence....

How do I disable a Fire Zone in a Gemini C-Series (GEMC) control panel?

Answer:
To disable GEMC C-Series control panel zones, proceed as follows:
...

Is more than one Fire Area allowed with the Gemini C-Series (GEMC) control panels?

Answer:
No, the Gemini C-Series (GEMC) Firewolf control panels support one (1) Fire Area only, although up to seven (7) GEMC-FK1 Fire keypads may be programmed into Area 1.  

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?

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

When using a monitor zone as a tamper on a Gemini C-Series (GEMC) control panel, how do I program for auto reset?

Answer:
When using a Monitor zone as a tamper and you do not want to use the keypad to reset the zone, program as follows:
...

How can I resolve a System Trouble "E14" on GEMC-Series Panels when used with a FWC-FSLC-SOM1 Supervised Output Module or a FWC-FSLC-DUCT Duct Detector?

Answer:
If a system trouble "E14" appears, and pressing RESET on the keypad will not clear the trouble, a likely reason could be the SOM and/or Duct Detector are programmed for "Reset-able" in the NAC Output/Assignment screen in PCD-Windows Quickloader...

Can I use a Gemini C-Series (GEMC) control panel for a large addressable burglary application, but with added fire devices? Will this burg-only (non-Commercial Fire) system accept any Fire zones?

Answer:
No, there is no way to control Fire zones on the Burglary bus.  A Fire keypad must be installed on the Fire bus, controlling Fire devices on the Fire bus, either using a GEMC-F8ZCPIM Conventional 8 Fire Zone Expander Plug in Module or through...
