NAPCO GEMINI C-SERIES

GEMC-BM / PS

BURGLARY MODULE WITH POWER SUPPLY

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WI1700 06/10

OVERVIEW

A Burg Module is required for UL Combination Burglary and Fire and Burglary-only installations to provide a separate, isolated bus for burglary keypad(s) that are required for annunciation and other burglary/access control peripheral devices.

The GEMC-BM/PS module isolates the Burglary system from the

Fire system for the more demanding authority having jurisdiction.

Battery calculations are simplified for the Fire system because the

Burglary portion of the system cannot affect the required Fire standby time, making the system more compliant with the intent of

NFPA72. For UL Commercial installations, the unit is to be housed in an attack-resistant enclosure, such as the GEMC-HSKIT1425 or

GEMC-HSKIT1416, employed with the GEMC-TAMPERKIT. See

WI1653 for the Gemini C-Series installation instructions.

Two Burg Module Options

There are two types of Burg Modules. Both provide the same Burglary and access control features, however, the voltage and current ratings for each are different, requiring different power calculations depending on system back-up battery configurations. The two types of Burg Modules are as follows:

•

GEMC-BM/PS Burg Module with 24V to 12V converter and back-up 12V, 8AH max battery charger with monitor circuit

•

GEMC-BM Burg Module without power supply; utilizes the Fire system batteries (see WI1701)

SPECIFICATIONS

Electrical Ratings

Input Power: 24V, 25mA standby from motherboard plus 0.6 multiplied by the "Total Combined Standby and Alarm Current".

Output Power:

Burg Bell Power: 10.8 - 12.5VDC, 2A maximum.

AUX Power: 11.3 - 12.5VDC, 750mA maximum.

Burg Bus Power ("Remote Bus Power"): 11.2 - 12.5VDC,

750mA maximum.

PGM1: Active low, 8.2 - 12.0V @ 150mA.

PGM2: Active low, 8.2 - 12.0V @ 150mA.

Aux Relay: Wet 11.2 - 12.5VDC @ 750mA maximum (subtract from AUX Power); may be set to a dry form "c" relay contact upon removing or cutting the jumper "R"; output rated 30VAC/

DC, 3A (Resistive Load Only)

Total Combined Standby Current (Auxiliary Power + Burg Bus power + Aux Relay power): 750mA.

Total Combined Standby and Alarm Current (Auxiliary power +

Burg Bus power + Aux Relay power + Bell power): 2.5A.

Battery Options:

• One 12V 4AH battery: Maximum standby 500mA + maximum alarm 1A = total 1.5A.

• One 12V 7AH or 8AH battery: Maximum standby 750mA + maximum alarm 1.75A = total 2.5A.

Maximum Battery Charging Current: 1A.

Note: Does not affect GEMC-XXXMB standby battery calculations, as all standby current is from dedicated battery. Maximum GEMC-

XXXMB combined alarm and standby current must be reduced by

0.6 times the combined alarm and standby current of the GEMC-

BM/PS plus 25mA.

GEMC-BM/PS DESCRIPTION

Burg Module with Power Supply & Battery

The GEMC-BM/PS module has an integral power supply. In addition, an integral low battery disconnect feature protects the battery during an extended power failure by disconnecting at approximately

9.5V. This integral low battery disconnect feature allows the charging circuit to recharge the batteries after an AC failure within 24 hours as required for Mercantile Burglary.

•

During AC fail, the Burglary module and all peripherals are supported until battery disconnect circuit activates at about 9.3V.

The Fire standby batteries are not affected and only support the

Fire system.

•

Battery is separately monitored with a 4 hour active battery test.

INSTALLATION

The GEMC-BM/PS is pre-assembled at the factory with two support bars as shown in the following image:

PRE-ASSEMBLED GEMC-BM / PS BURG MODULE. LOCATION OF

BATTERY CONNECTOR SHOWN IN CLOSE-UP

1. Connect the Burglary Module battery wires: See image above. The red (+) wire (part # W1004-1) is double-insulated for added electrical isolation. Connect the black (ground) wire (part #

W1004-2) to the negative (–) terminal E2. Connect the red (12V) wire to the positive (+) terminal E1. Route wires behind the PCB and secure with a wire tie as shown in the image below:

ROUTE WIRES BEHIND THE GEMC-BM / PS

2. Place the Burglary Module PCB on top of the Support Bars and secure using the 6-32 screws (item #6) and external tooth star washers (item #5).

3. Align the combination HW1490 Support Bars and Burglary

Module PCB with the holes located in HW1492 Right Side Plate and the HW1491 Left Side Plate. Secure using four thumbscrews

(item #4).

4. Orient the Burglary Module above the motherboard with its terminals towards the left side. On the right side of the Burglary

Module is a polarized 12 pin female connector "J2"; insert J2 into the male 12 pin connector "J8" on the motherboard. Using the four 6-32 screws, mount the Burglary Module to the two HW1490

Support Bars.

5. Route the wires from the Burglary Module to the left and down the side of the enclosure, as shown in the following image. The red and black non-power limited battery flying leads are doubleinsulated to meet NEC requirements and do NOT need to be secured at least ¼" away from power-limited wires inside the enclosure. Several tie wrap holes in the HW1490 Support Bar are available to secure wires if needed.

TERMINAL DESCRIPTIONS

Maximum Burglary alarm and standby current can not exceed calculated maximum available Power Supply Current or Available Bat-

tery Standby Current, whichever is less. Typically, this is determined by the Available Battery Standby Current. Both must be calculated using detailed spreadsheets to be created and provided for review by the authority having jurisdiction.

ROUTE GEMC-BM / PS BATTERY WIRES

Note: There are no integral burglary zones. Burglary zones require either GEMC-EZM's wired to the Burg Bus, SLC modules connected to the motherboard, or a wireless receiver (GEMC-

RECV) wired to the Fire bus (may be wired to the burg bus on a burg-only system).

BELL ("Bell Output")

Terminal 1: Burg (+)

Terminal 2: Burg (–)

Supervised for open; use only one bell for proper supervision.

Do not wire to any Fire devices. Power limited output.

Requires 2.2K EOLR.

AUX PWR

Terminal 3: Aux Power (+)

Terminal 4: Aux Power (–)

Separate Burglary Auxiliary Power for Burglary peripherals such as PIR's. Power limited output. Do not wire to any Fire devices.

PGM1, 2

Terminal 5, 6: PGM1 (–), PGM2 (–)

Programmable by zone, active low open collector outputs. Do not wire to any Fire devices.

BURG BUS ("Remote Bus")

Terminal 7: Remote (+)

Terminal 8: Remote (–)

Terminal 9: Remote GRN

Terminal 10: Remote YEL

Do not wire to any Fire devices.

Peripherals: GEMC-BK1 (at least one required), GEMC-EZM,

GEMC-OUT8, GEMC-RM3008, GEM-ACM1D and GEMC-

RECV. Separate Burglary Bus supports all existing Gemini C-

Series Burglary peripherals and a maximum of 15 keypads

(using separate UL603 listed power supply, model GEMC-

12V2APS-CF or GEMC-12V2APS-R).

JP1 (Motherboard Power On/Off Jumper)

This three-pin jumper allows one of two options:

MB PWR ON: Place the shunt on the two right pins for power to be provided to the GEMC-BM/PS (and its connected devices) from both the motherboard and the battery. The jumper is placed on these two right pins ("MB PWR ON") at the factory.

MB PWR OFF: Place the shunt on the two left pins (or remove the shunt entirely) to remove power from the motherboard, thus allowing the GEMC-BM/PS (and its connected devices) to be powered by the battery only. To remove all power, remove the flying battery leads from the battery terminals.

JP2 (Burg Service Jumper)

For Combination Fire and Burglary systems. When the shunt is placed on the two left pins ("ON") of this three-pin jumper, the system enters a special mode named "Burg Service

Mode" where the system stops processing Burglary (non-Fire) alarm functions to permit the Burglary part of the system to be serviced (changed) while allowing the Fire system to continue

to function as intended. When servicing the Burglary system, we recommend entering Burg Service Mode before removing power to avoid the various troubles (such as a trouble E12

"Burg EZM Fail to Respond") that will occur. When Burg Service Mode is on, an LED located just below the jumper will light. A Burg Service Mode jumper is also located on the control panel motherboard that is in parallel with the JP2 jumper on the GEMC-BM/PS; either jumper can be used to initiate

Burg Service Mode, and the LED located just below the jumper will light.

J2 (Motherboard Socket Connector)

12 pin data connector to allow a data connection between the motherboard and the GEMC-BM/PS Burglary module.
