							Congratulations 
on your purchase of an advanced GEMINI-RP8 keypad.  Meticulously developed by a leading 
manufacturer of state-of-the-art security products, this system will provide you with unprecedented peace-of-mind & 
incorporates some of the most sophisticated features available today.  Above all, it has been designed an extra step, to provide 
all those operating it with very easy, intuitive use.  Please carefully review the information contained in this manual, so that you 
and all potential users of the system familiarize yourselves with its operation, and can therefore take full advantage of GEMINI’s 
many convenient features and amenities.  
 
Your system
 consists of a control panel (a computer housed within a white metal panel enclosure), one or more GEMINI 
Decorator Keypads for controlling the system, and various security detection devices.  These detection devices are divided 
among separate areas known as “zones”, set up throughout your premises.  Each zone number corresponds to a Zone light on 
your Keypad’s display area.   
 When a zone’s number is ON (or lit), it indicates that one or more detection device(s) assigned to that area are active or open. 
For example, if Zone 1 is the front door, and it is open, the 1 on the keypad display will be lit.  If zone 2 is a motion detector, and 
there is movement in that area, 2 will light.  Depending upon the actual layout your security professional has chosen to properly 
protect your premises, each zone may function a little differently:  The zone protecting your front door may be programmed as 
an Exit/Entry zone to allow you time to enter the premises and disarm the system, without inadvertently sounding the alarm.  
Alternatively, a zone protecting a window could be designated as an “instant” zone, so that if it is entered or opened while the 
system is on/armed, there will be an immediate alarm.    
Your easy 
GEMINI Keypad
 puts super-simple system control at your fingertips.  Most keypad commands involve 
entering your four digit User Code.  This includes Arming (or activating) and Disarming (or deactivating) the system.  Simply put, 
ARMED means the system is ON; DISARMED means the system is OFF.  If the system is OFF and you want to turn it ON, just 
enter your Code.  To turn the system back OFF, enter your code again.  
It’s easy, just always remember, in the event of an 
alarm, entering your User Code will silence all Sirens.  Your keypad is your command and status center, it keeps you 
informed visibly—using its zone and status lights, and audibly—using its built-in keypad sounder.  For more information, please 
see Keypad Controls and Indicators on page 4.

 Easy Arm 
The optional Easy Arm feature allows the system to be armed by simply pressing 
D.
  This will allow the easy arming of the 
system by someone who is not a regular system user. 
 
 Bypassing  Zones If an open zone cannot be immediately fixed it can be left unprotected, or bypassed ,while the rest of the system is Armed.

ARMING:  SETTING THE ALARM WHEN LEAVING  
						

							Protecting Yourself While at Home 1    
Before arming your system, make sure the green 
Status light is ON.  This indicates that all of your protective zones are 
secure.  If any zones are open, the corresponding zone number will be lit.  Secure those zones before proceeding. 
2    
Enter your User Code and press 
D.
  The green Status light will go out, and the red Armed light will light.
 
3    
Before your exit delay expires, press 
B
 to bypass any interior zones, deactivating devices such as motion sensors, and 
allowing free movement throughout the premises.  The Zone light of any bypassed zones will flash slowly.
 
       Your system may have been programmed for Automatic Interior Bypass, in which case it will recognize that you have not left 
the premises and will automatically bypass any interior zones.
 
 
Instant Mode
 
Pressing 
F
 will cancel the Entry delay, activating the “Instant” mode.  This is typically done in the evening when all family 
members are home for the night.  Instant Mode can be activated at any time after the system has been armed.  The red 
Armed light will flash rapidly while in the Instant Mode.
  
 
Easy Exit (optional) 
Your System may have been programmed to allow Easy Exit, which allows a user to exit the premises with the system 
armed.  By pressing 
A
 followed by 
0
, the protection is removed from the Exit/ Entry zone for 3 minutes.  
This will allow, for example, an early morning commuter to exit the house in the morning, without having to disarm and rearm 
the system, waking the family.
 
 
Arming with a System Trouble Present (TROUBLE 
H

EMERGENCY CONDITIONS  
						

							Disarming Your System when Returning  1    Enter your premises through the Entry/Exit door.  The keypad will sound a steady tone to remind you to disarm the system before your Entry 
Delay time expires. 
2    Enter your User Code and press 
D
.  The red 
Arme d light will go out, indicating that the system has been disarmed. 
      Note:  If you make a mistake entering your code, press 
C
 and re-enter the code, followed by 
D
.
 
Alarm Indication       If the Red Armed light is flashing rapidly, an alarm occurred while you were away.  
Proceed with caution!   
      For your own protection, leave immediately and call authorities from a neighbors phone . Silencing an Alarm       In the event the system goes into alarm due to a violated burglary zone, the siren and the keypad sounder will activate and the number of the 
zone in alarm will flash in the display.  To silence the system, enter your User code followed by 
D
. 
       The keypad sounder and siren will silence, but the zone in alarm will continue to flash.  Press 
C
 to reset this alarm memory. 
Silencing a Fire Alarm       In the event that the Fire alarm activates due to a violated smoke or fire detector, the bell or siren will sound a distinct pulsating tone.  
FIREI 
on the keypad will be flashing, and the keypad sounder will emit a pulsing tone.  If a Fire Alarm does occur: 
1    If a fire is in progress, evacuate the premises immediately!  Call the Fire Department from an outside phone. 
2    If there is no evidence of a fire, enter your User Code followed by 
D
.  The bell or siren will silence, and FIRE
I will stop flashing, but will still 
be lit. 
3    Determine which device went into alarm.  If you are protected by smoke detectors, the light on the active detector will be lit.  Once it is 
determined which smoke detector is in alarm, press 
C
 to reset the fire zone. 
4    If the Fire zone has reset properly, FIREI should go out in approx. 30 seconds.  If it does not go out, press 
C
 again in a few minutes.  If 
it still does not go out, call for service. 
Abort Delay       Ask your installer which of your zones have Abort Delay, a delay that enables you to reset the system before it communicates to the central 
station.  Your system has a SIA CP-01 required Abort Delay of 30 seconds.  It may be removed or increased up to 45 seconds (at your op-
tion) by consulting with your installer.

TURNING OFF THE ALARM (DISARMING) WHEN RETURNING  
						

							Preparing a Fire Escape Plan
 
      Even with the most advanced fire alarm system, adequate protection requires an escape plan. 
     To prepare your plan, draw floor plans of your building (space is provided on the next page).  Show two exits-a front or 
back door and a window from each room.  (Make sure each window works.  You may need a special fire-escape ladder if 
the window is high up).  Write down your outside meeting place. 
 
Family Rehearsal
 
Rehearse each of the following activities: 
1    Everyone in his room with the doors closed. 
2    One person sounds the alarm. 
3    Each person tests his door. 
4    Pretend that the door is hot and use the alternate escape exit. 
5    Everyone meets outdoors at the assigned spot. 
 
Important! - Read Carefully
 
Discuss each of these escape procedures with all those who use 
the building. 
1    In a residence, sleep with the bedroom door closed. 
2    When the fire alarm signals, escape quickly.  Do not stop to pack. 
3    Test the door.  If it is hot, use your alternate route through the window. 
     If the door is cool, brace your shoulder against it and open it cautiously.  Be ready to slam the door if smoke or heat 
rushes in.  Crawl through the smoke, holding your breath.  Close the doors again on leaving to help prevent the fire from 
spreading. 
4    Go to your specific outdoor meeting place so you can see that everyone is safe. 
5    Call the Fire Department from a neighbor’s telephone.
