GEMC / FireLink Control Panel Set Up as Slave Fire Alarm DACT

Date Added: 4/17/19

This example explains how to use the FireLink FACP or Gemini C-Series (GEMC) control panels as a slave Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT) connected to a 3rd party fire alarm system. This can be done using a GEMC-32 conventional kit as a standalone fire alarm communicator, using a FireLink FACP, or by adding a GEMC-FK1 Fire keypad, a Fire input module and a second commutation path to a GEMC Burg-only application. Note: The Gemini GEMC control panel must be running firmware V84A or later.

For the default FireLink program, download the .ql9 file.  Note:  The default PCD-Windows Quickloader password is "123".

For additional information, see the FAQ:  "How do I import the default FireLink program into PCD-Windows Quickloader download software?"

-----------------------------------------------------

For the default battery calculations of the FireLink fire alarm control panel, use the Gemini C-Series (GEMC) Standby Calculation Worksheet located in our Technical Library website:

http://tech.napcosecurity.com/index.php/techlibrary/docdetails/brand_id/1/doc_id/1110

Select tab 3 GEMC Fire Only.

The "Out of the Box" factory default values are:

• One (1) GEMC-F8ZCPIM Conventional 8 Fire Zone Expander Plug in Module
• One (1) GEMC-FK1 Fire Keypad
• 71ma draw for Standby and Alarm in the Mother Board AUX PWR, with a QTY of 1 for the integrated StarLink communicator.

The Total Required Standby Battery Capacity for the "Out of the Box" draw is 8.3AH.

Note: Two sets of series 8AH or 7AH batteries are required for every FireLink installation. Other powered devices must be added to the Calculation Worksheet, i.e. smoke detectors, horn/strobes, bells, remote annunciators, etc.

GEMC / FireLink 24hr Resound & Reporting Codes

Date Added: 7/12/24

Reporting code E300 area 00 Z1 A00 is a common FireLink or GEMC control panel Point ID reporting code that some central stations may mistakenly confuse with a Z1 trouble.

In actuality, E300 area 00 Z1 A00 is a 24-hour Trouble Resound code that will report to the central station every 24 hours (with the keypad beeping and its Trouble icon flashing) until the condition is corrected. A Zone trouble would be an E373 conventional or an 380 SLC point trouble (for example, E373 Z1 A01 is a Z1 trouble).

Control Panel DACTS are required to send detailed information regarding the reported condition (a 'generic' trouble is insufficient). For example, E = Alarm, R = Restore. Be aware that there are more events than possible event codes; some events have a point # that will report as a zone. For example, a Z300 Z1 A00 is a 24 Hour Trouble Resound; an E300 Z00 A00 is a Fire Bus Failure.

See this Tech Tip for a list of reporting codes for the GEMC / FireLink control panels. Note: Burg codes are not applicable for FireLink.
