1.0 INTRODUCTION
http://www.ealarm.com.my
Thank you for selecting the Spectra Security System from
Paradox Security Systems. The Spectra Security System
will give you peace of mind by providing reliable security
protection. Although, it can do much more than that. The
Spectra System can realize your dreams of home automation
such as controlling garage doors, lights, heating, temperature
and much more. Consult your installer to take full advantage
of your Spectra system’s capabilities.
This advanced technology security system provides you with
reliable security protection and powerful features that anyone
can use without memorizing complex and confusing codes.
The system consists of the Spectra Control Panel, one or
more Spectra Keypads, various input devices (i.e. motion
detectors, door contacts, etc.) and various output devices
(i.e. bells, sirens, lights, etc.).
The elegant and user-friendly Spectra 1689 LED Keypad
and 1641 LCD Keypads allow you to easily access your
security system's functions and provide you with an easy-tounderstand display of your security system's alarm and
operational status. All the actions performed in your security
system will be executed and displayed through the keypad.
Therefore, before using your security system, we highly
recommend you read this manual carefully and have your
installer explain basic system operation to you.

2.7 PARTITIONING
Your Spectra system is equipped with a partitioning feature
that can divide your alarm system into two distinct areas
identified as Partition 1 and Partition 2. Partitioning can be
used in installations where shared security systems are more
practical, such as a home office or warehouse building. When
partitioned, each zone, each User Code and many of your
system's features can be assigned to either Partition 1,
Partition 2, or both partitions.
If the system is not partitioned, all zones, User
Codes, and features will be recognized as
belonging to Partition 1.
Spectra Keypads 13
3.0 PROGRAMMING ACCESS CODES
http://www.ealarm.com.my
Access Codes are personal identification numbers that allow
you to enter certain programming modes, arm or disarm your
system as well as activate or deactivate PGMs.
The Spectra security system supports the following:
1 System Master Code
2 Master Codes
45 User Access Codes (including 1 Duress code)
For information on how each Access Code can arm or disarm
the system refer to the System Checklist in section 8.0.
3.1 SYSTEM MASTER CODE (Default: 123456)
The System Master Code can arm or disarm any partition
using any of the methods described in this section and can
create, modify or delete any User Access Code (see section
3.4).
3.2 MASTER CODES
Master Code 1 is permanently assigned to Partition 1 and
can be used to create, modify or delete User Access Codes
(see section 3.4) that are assigned to Partition 1.
Master Code 2 is permanently assigned to Partition 2 (except
when partitioning is disabled, Master Code 2 will be assigned
to Partition 1) and can be used to create, modify or delete
14 User’s Manual
User Access Codes (see section 3.4) that are assigned to the
http://www.ealarm.com.my
same partition.
Master Codes cannot modify or delete User Access
Codes assigned to both partitions. Only the System
Master Code can modify or delete User Access Codes
assigned to both partitions.
3.3 DURESS CODE
If you are forced to arm or disarm your system, entering the
Access Code assigned to User 048 will arm or disarm the
system and immediately transmit a silent alert (Duress Code)
to the Security Company.
Must be enabled by your installer.
3.4 PROGRAMMING ACCESS CODES
Your system can use either 4- or 6-digit Access Codes (see
page 39), where each digit can be any value from 0 to 9. Sixdigit codes are considered more difficult to “crack” and
therefore, more secure. Avoid programming simple or
obvious access codes, such as your telephone number,
address or codes such as 1234.

4.5 FORCE ARMING
http://www.ealarm.com.my
Force Arming allows you to rapidly arm the system without
waiting for all zones in the system to close. During Force
Arming, a Force Zone is considered “deactivated” until it
closes, then the system will arm that zone. Force Arming is
commonly used when a motion detector is protecting the
area occupied by a keypad. For example, when arming and
the motion detector is a Force Zone, the system will allow you
to arm even if the zone is open.

Minimizing Fire Hazards
http://www.ealarm.com.my
The three most common causes of fires:
• Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S. It's
also the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking fires often
result from unattended cooking and human error, rather
than mechanical failure of stoves or ovens.
• Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths.
Smoke detectors and smolder-resistant bedding and
upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents.
• Heating is the second leading cause of residential fires.
However, heating fires are a larger problem in single family
homes than in apartments since the heating systems in
single family homes are often not professionally
maintained.
Fire Safety Tips
• In the event of a fire, remember time is the biggest enemy
and every second counts! Escape first, then call for help.
Develop a home fire escape plan and designate a meeting
place outside. Make sure everyone in the family knows two
ways to escape from every room. Practice feeling your
way out with your eyes closed. Never stand up in a fire,
always crawl low under the smoke and try to keep your
mouth covered. Never return to a burning building for any
reason; it may cost you your life.
• Finally, having at least one working smoke alarm
dramatically increases your chances of surviving a fire.
And remember to practice a home escape plan frequently
with your family.

Providing a Fire Warning System
http://www.ealarm.com.my
Household fires are especially dangerous at night. Fires
produce smoke and deadly gases that can overcome
occupants while they sleep. To warn against fire, smoke
detectors should be installed outside each separate sleeping
area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each
additional story of the family living unit, including basements.

7.0 TESTING & MAINTENANCE
http://www.ealarm.com.my
With the system disarmed and the “READY” Light on, activate
motion detectors by walking in the protected area. Open and
close protected doors and verify that the corresponding
button illuminates. Your installer can advise you of the best
way to test your particular system.
Do not use open flame or burning materials to test your fire
detection devices. Contact your installer for safe methods of
testing your system.
Under normal use, your system requires virtually no
maintenance other than regular testing. It is recommended
that the standby battery be changed every three years.
Speak to your installer about the necessary tests and at what
frequency they should be performed.
