Reliability
The Esprit’s superior capabilities are driven by cutting edge hardware. Use of the most powerful RISC
processors on the market, with built-in “Analog to Digital” converters and SMD Technology, means these
control panels require 30-40% less components than any comparable units.
Total Compatibility
All programming, comprehensive system features, and upload/download software of Esprit panels are
identical. This total compatibility significantly reduces the time required to conduct training, programming
and system upgrades. There’s just one set of procedures for all Esprit panels.

FEATURES (continued)
Streamlined Keypad / PC Programming, User-friendly Operation
The reduced number of steps required to program Esprit panels via a keypad speeds up installation.
End-user access to most system functions calls for just one touch of the keypad.
IM8
Strategic System Partitioning (
728, 738,748,748ES
)
Each control panel can be used to monitor two distinct security systems, as well as common areas.
Partitioning provides a practical and flexible solution to situations where combined systems are a
neces
sity. User-friendly Esprit partitioning does it all with just one access code.
High-Speed Preprogrammed Communication
Esprit panels can slash set-up and reporting time by transmitting preprogrammed and high speed
communicator formats.
Event Buffer and “Real time clock” (
728L, 728, 738,748,748ES
)
Incorporation of a real time clock permits the creation of a 120 event, PC uploadable buffer with time and
date. Two automatic arming options are made possible by the inclusion of the "real time" clock. Auto
arming can be programmed to take place at specific intervals, or following a set time period without any
zone activity (auto arm and/or report only).
Programmable Outputs
Almost any control panel status situation may be used to activate the Esprit’s programmable outputs.
Once a panel status mode is selected for a PGM to follow, the polarity and duration of the output may
also be programmed. 18 supplementary programmable outputs are available with the SRI18 module,
which connects to the panel serial output.
Alarm Relay (
738, 748, 748ES
)
Single pole, double throw dry contacts rated at 5 amps that follow the local alarm (bell/siren) output.
Augmented Auxiliary Power (
748ES
)
1.2 amps of regulated auxiliary power supplied via 5 sets of power terminals. Ideal for applications with
numerous detection or ancillary devices. Requires a 75VA transformer.
Espload Upload/download Software
Espload upload/download software revolutionizes control panel supervision by delivering powerful panel
programming, modification, real-time monitoring and data management tools. It can function with most
Hayes-compatible modems, requires less than 60 seconds to transmit a full upload or download, and is
extremely simple to learn and to operate. The upload/download software is not permitted on UL installations.

Current consumption:
(measured with battery connected, without AC and 1KW resistor on bell and 1KW resistor on zones)
The printed circuit board, mounting hardware and keypad should be removed from the packaging inside
the panel box. Press the five white nylon mounting studs into cabinet from the back prior to mount-ing the cabinet. Before mounting the circuit board on the back of the cabinet, pull all cables into cabinet
and prepare them for connection.
Be sure to select a control panel installation site that is not easily accessible to intruders. Leave at least
2” around the panel box to permit adequate ventilation/heat dissipation. Installation location should be
dry, close to an AC source, ground connection and a telephone line connection.
EARTH GROUND
The earth terminal should be connected to the cabinet and grounding rod as per local electrical codes.
AC
Use a 16VAC transformer with a minimum 40VA rating to provide sufficient AC power (for
748ES
, use
75VA). Do not utilize any switch-controlled outlets to power the transformer. UL listed systems require
K12 model T16V40 transformer; ULC listed systems require Frost model FTC1637 transformer.
PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUTS
If the programmable outputs are to be used, they should ideally be connected through external relays, as
these outputs should not drive more than 30mA. A relay should be used in cases where more than 30mA
is required.
BELL/SIREN OUTPUT
Bells or other warning devices requiring a steady voltage output during alarms, are powered by the Bell+/
Bell- terminals. The bell output is microprocessor-controlled and will automatically shut down if current
exceeds 3 amps. The processor will allow current to resume only after the bell cut-off time expires.The
correct polarity connections should be made when hooking up sirens (speakers with built-in siren drivers). “Bell+” terminal is the connection for the positive lead. “Bell-” terminal is the connection for the negative lead. The bell output supplies 12V upon alarm. It can support two 20-watt or two 30-watt sirens.
(Above 1A, battery supplies current.)
AUXILIARY POWER TERMINALS
Motion detectors and any security devices requiring 12VDC voltage can be powered by the auxiliary
power supply. A maximum of 400mA 12VDC is available, (225mA for 748ES and 250mA max. for 24 hr.
standby-UL, ULC installations) from the AUX+ and AUX- terminals. For each additional keypad or PS1
module, the auxiliary current supply must be reduced by individual model current consumption. The auxiliary supply is microprocessor-protected against current overload and automatically shuts down if current
exceeds 1 amp. Auxiliary power will resume after battery test takes place, (within 0 - 60 seconds).
ZONE INPUT TERMINALS
(Please refer to zone connections (page 9) and wiring diagram in "Programming Guide".)
KEYPAD CONNECTIONS
The keypad has a terminal strip with 6 connections. The first 4 connections are labeled "yellow", "green",
"black" and "red". They are connected to the corresponding color terminals on the control panel board.
The last 2 connections are labeled " zone” and “COM". This is the zone input on the keypad. A green (1K
ohm) resistor must be used on this zone. If the zone input is not used, the green (1K ohm) resistor must
be installed on the terminal strip. The zone information is carried to the panel on the 4 wires of the keypad connection. Up to 5 keypads may be used on a system with 2 of the keypads utilizing the zone input.

Jumper "on" - Keypad zone 2 activated.
(Panel default jumper setting is "on" (keypad zone 2). To switch to keypad zone 1, a "keypad power
down" must be conducted. To do so, all 4 wires must be disconnected.)
8
TELEPHONE LINE CONNECTION
Connect the incoming telephone company wires into "TIP" and "RING". Wires should then be run from "T1"
and "R1" to the installation's phone system.
POWERING UP THE UNIT
GENERAL
When keypads are installed far from the control panel, a keypad should be temporarily connected close
to the panel to conduct "power-up" testing. Connect the transformer. After 5 seconds, begin testing the
unit. Enter random commands on the keypad. It should "beep" in response to these commands. Open a
zone to ensure that keypad and panel are responding to signals. If the keypad does not respond and if no
indicator lights illuminate, check for AC voltage at the “AC” terminals. If 16VAC is flowing, then keypad
wiring should be verified. Also check for a short between "black" and "red' keypad wires.
PANEL PROGRAMMING METHODS
To conduct panel programming, use the keypad or initiate communication with Espload (see page 21).
Use of
programming. For Keypad Programming, see "Programming Guide".
BATTERY HOOK-UP (required on UL/ULC installation)
Warning: Do not connect transformer or battery until all wiring is completed. Use a 12VDC 7AH
rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell battery. Connect "red" battery lead to positive battery terminal, and
"black" battery lead to negative battery terminal. Reversed connections will blow the battery fuse. Battery
should not be connected until AC panel connections have been made. After connecting battery [TRBL]
key should illuminate. Pressing [TRBL] causes key [8] to illuminate (trouble indicator for "timer loss"). (See
"Trouble Display Monitoring" section, p. 18-19)
Espload
is highly recommended, as it greatly reduces the potential for data entry errors during
IM8
BATTERY TEST
The panel verifies battery connection every 60 seconds. If the battery is not connected, trouble indicator
key [1] illuminates. If battery is connected, a 4 second test of battery under load is conducted. Every
hour, a 64 second battery test will be carried out (not applicable to software versions 1.4 and beyond).
Panel arming can be blocked if the battery test fails, if programmed. Test failure causes trouble indicator
key [1] to illuminate, indicating that battery capacity is insufficient. When the panel runs on battery power,
with or without AC, if battery voltage drops to 10.5 volts, trouble indicator key [1] will illuminate. (If programmed, a trouble report code will also be sent to the central station.) At 8.5 volts all outputs are closed.
ZONE WIRING CONFIGURATIONS AND OPTIONS
The selection of the panel (number of zones) should be based on the requirements of a security installation.
LOOP CONFIGURATIONS AND ZONE CONNECTIONS
Single zones can be configured for N.C. contacts without EOL, or zone resistors (see Fig. 1, page 10). By
using 1 zone resistor, single zones can be configured for N.C. and/or N.O. contacts (see Fig. 2, page 10).
A single zone can also be configured to detect alarm and tamper (tamper will transmit a separate distinct
signal and cause the zone light at the keypad to flash) see Fig. 3, page 11.
Note: Configuring zones in single zone mode reduces number of available zones. (728L, 728, 738,
By utilizing 2 zone resistors (see "Typical", pg. 10) each loop (pair of wires) will recognize two distinct alarm
zones for N.C. contacts. A separate "tamper" signal can also be transmitted and displayed on the keypad
(flashing zone light). Adding a green (1K OHM) EOL resistor will provide loop supervision (see Fig. 4, pg. 11).
Notes:
1)Two zones per loop configuration reduces wiring and installation requirements by permitting the
connection of two distinct zones per input (loop), on the same pair of wires. Coverage is not compromised in any way. Each zone can be reported separately, based on different resistor values, and the
same pair of wires can also provide "anti-tamper" and "wiring failure" recognition. In order to have
Advanced Technology Zones, enable at address 210, key [8].
748)
2)The input terminals are marked with 2 digits ex. 1/4, 1/13. These digits indicate the two zones that
are associated with that input when ATZ (zone doubling) is used. Two resistors are required when ATZ is
operational.The first digit (regular zone) is identified by a green (1K ohm) resistor, and the 2nd digit (doubled zone) is identified by a brown (.5K ohm) resistor.
