30-Minute "Download Window"
When the GEMC-FK1 Fire keypad is unlocked, a special 30-minute "download window" countdown starts. For a re-
mote download to be permitted as if it was a local download (i.e. unrestricted programming changes allowed), the
following must be in effect:
the 30-minute "download window" must be open (in progress)
a qualified technician must be on site to enable the "ENABLE PROGRAMMING" selection in the keypad Function
menu (ensuring the requirement that all remote Fire-related downloads be "attended")
Note: The 30-minute download window countdown operates independently of the "ENABLE PROGRAMMING" status
(enabled or disabled). Furthermore, each time a Fire keypad is unlocked, the 30-minute download window count-
down restarts at 30 minutes.
As detailed in the section Locked Account Mismatch above, in order to enter the Function Menu to select "ENABLE
PROGRAMMING" at the keypad, one must first unlock the GEMC-FK1 Fire keypad using a Dealer Keypad Program
Code or Master Security Code. Be aware that after approximately 5 minutes of inactivity at the keypad, the keypad
will automatically re-lock. In addition, the 5-minute keypad lock countdown and the 30-minute download window
countdown are timed independently. Therefore, it is possible to have a locked keypad with an active or expired 30-
minute download window.
Note: See "Unattended Download Mode" in the Fire Glossary (WI1653).
PC Preset Support
PC Preset follows the same rules regarding uploading or downloading; however, the following practical limitations
apply:
1. PC Preset can be configured to batch upload logs from any Gemini C-Series panel since connection and up-
loading are always allowed, provided the proper Master Security Code is entered into PC Preset;
2. PC Preset cannot batch download an account to a panel unless the Fire-related programming has been
Locked and the Quickloader account used to previously program the panel only has Burglary-related pro-
gramming differences;
3. PC Preset can be used to download a Quickloader account to a panel when a technician is on site to initiate
the operation at a keypad located at the target control panel site. In order to Site Initiate a download from PC
PRESET, use the ACTIVATE DOWNLOAD feature from the keypad Function Menu. All panel programming will
be overwritten.
