DESCRIPTIONS

NAPCO’s Gemini GEM-X255 is a state-of-the-art microcomputer-based burglary and residential fire alarm control panel of modular design. Integrally an 8-zone panel, it will support up to 255 zones with optional zone expansion modules, wireless receiver modules and/or GEM-RP1CAe2 Keypads. Each panel includes an integral digital communicator. The control panel features programmable area partitioning. That is, the system may be divided into up to 8 discrete multiple-zone areas, each allowing access by only those users programmed for their respective area.
