2.1Location & Mounting
Remove the printed circuit board, mounting hardware and keypad from the packaging inside the
panel box. The circuit board should not be mounted into the back of the cabinet, until all cables are
pulled into the cabinet and prepared for connection. Before mounting the cabinet, push the five
white nylon-mounting studs into the back of the cabinet. Select an installation site that is not easily
accessible to intruders. Leave at least 2" around the panel box to permit adequate ventilation and
heat dissipation. The installation site should be dry and close to an AC source, ground connection
and telephone line connection.
2.2Earth Ground
Connect the zone and dialer ground terminals from the
control panel to the metallic enclosure and cold water pipe or
grounding rod as per local electrical codes. For UL
installations, the metallic enclosure must be grounded to the
cold water pipe or grounding rod.
For maximum lightning protection use separate earth
grounds for the zone and dialer grounds (see figure 1)!

INSTALLATION
2.3Power
2.3.1AC Power
Use a 16.5VAC (50-60Hz) transformer with a MINIMUM 40VA
rating to provide sufficient AC power (AUX outputs = 500mA
each); RECOMMENDED 75VA rating to provide maximum
power output (AUX outputs = 1A each). Do not use any switch-
controlled outlets to power the transformer. UL listed systems
require the K12 model T16V40 or T16V75 transformer.
Do not connect the transformer or the back-up battery until all wiring is completed!
2.3.2Back-up Battery
We recommend connecting a back-up battery to power the control
panel, in case of power loss. UL installations require the use of a backup battery. Use a 12VDC 4Ah / 7Ah rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell
battery. Connect the back-up battery after applying the AC power.
When installing the battery, verify proper polarity, as reversed
connections will blow the battery fuse. Connect the "red" battery lead
to the positive battery terminal, and the "black" battery lead to the
negative battery terminal of the control panel. Use the Battery Charge
Current Jumper on the PCB to determine the charging current of the backup battery. With
the jumper ON, the charging current will be set at 350mA. With the jumper OFF, the
charging current will be set at 700mA.
2.3.3Auxiliary Power Terminals
The 748 has two auxiliary outputs each of which can provide a maximum of 1A 12VDC with
a 75VA transformer and 500mA with a 40VA transformer (250mA 12VDC for 24hr standby on
UL installations). You can use the auxiliary power supply to power the motion detectors,
3
Installation
keypads and other accessories in your security system. Their combined current consumption
(see Table 1) on each auxiliary output should not exceed 1A. The auxiliary supply is
microprocessor-protected against current overload and automatically shuts down if the
current exceeds 1.1A. Auxiliary power will resume once the overload condition has restored
The control panel conducts a dynamic battery test under load every 60 seconds. If the battery
is disconnected, or its capacity is too low, the [1] key in the trouble display mode will be on.
Key [1] also comes "on" if the battery voltage drops to 10.5 volts or less when the control
panel is running on the back-up battery (no AC). At 8.5 volts, the panel shuts down and all
We recommend conducting a "power-up" test on keypads installed far from the control panel.
To do so temporarily connect the keypads near the control panel and connect the transformer.
After 10 seconds, begin entering random commands on the keypad and verify that the
keypad "beeps" in response to these commands. Then open a zone to ensure that the
keypad and the control panel are responding to these signals. If the keypad does not respond
is present at the "AC"
terminals. If AC is present, check the keypad wiring and verify there isn't a short between the
"black" and "red" keypad wires. If the keypad does not respond, please contact your local
and within 1-60 seconds after performing the dynamic battery test (see below).

2.5Bell/Siren Output
The BELL+ and BELL- terminals power bells and/or other warning
devices requiring a steady voltage output during an alarm. The bell
output supplies 12VDC upon alarm and can support two 20-watt or two
30-watt sirens. The bell output is microprocessor-controlled and will
automatically shut down if the current exceeds 3A. If the load on the
BELL terminals returns to normal (?3A), the control panel will re-instate
power to the BELL terminals. When connecting sirens (speakers with
built-in siren drivers) please verify correct polarity. Connect the positive
lead to the BELL+ terminal and the negative lead to the BELL- terminal
of the control panel as shown in figure 5. The Alarm Relay (optional),
which is rated at 5A, can also be used to power bells and/or other
warning devices requiring a steady voltage output during an alarm (see
figure 5). The Alarm Relay is activated (toggles to opposite state)
whenever the local bell/siren output is activated.
Installation
If the Bell/Siren output is not being used
output, the [4] trouble indicator (see section 11.12.3) will always be on. To avoid this, connect a
1K?resistor across the bell output.
when connecting a bell or siren to an optional relay
2.6Programmable Outputs (PGM)
The Esprit “Plus” control panels include two fully
programmable output (PGM). When a specific event or
condition occurs in the system, a PGM can be used to
reset smoke detectors, activate strobe lights, open/close
garage doors and much more. The PGMs provide a
maximum 50mA output. If the current draw on a PGM
output is to exceed 50mA we recommend the use of a
relay as show in figure 6. The PGMs can be programmed
to toggle on and off from more than a thousand different
events. For example, PGM1 can open and close an
automatic garage door by pressing keys [1] and [2]
simultaneously on the keypad. For details on how to
program the PGMs, refer to section 9.
2.7Keypad & Keyswitch Connections
Connect the four keypad connections labeled RED, BLACK, GREEN
and YELLOW to the corresponding colour terminals on the control
panel as indicated in figure 7. Note, on some keypads you may
have to remove the back panel to make the connections.
Connect the keyswitch to the “GRN” and “BLK” terminals of the
control panel as shown in figure 7. To enable this function
please refer to sections 8.5 and 11.8 for more information on
keyswitches.
2.8Keypad Zone Connections
Each keypad comes with one input terminal, allowing you to connect one detector or door contact
directly to the keypad.
5
If a keypad has the ATZ (zone doubling) feature, two detection devices can be connected to one
input terminal. Each device will be assigned a zone (see table below) and each will transmit a
separate alarm code, therefore, capable of adding one or two zones to your security system.
Regardless of the number of keypads in the system, the control panel supports a maximum of two
Note if using two keypad zones, one keypad must be defined as keypad zone 1 while the other
must be defined as keypad zone 2. Unless you are using an LCD keypad with the ATZ (zone
doubling) feature enabled, in which case the LCD will automatically define the keypad zones. The

keypad zones.
Example 1: A security installation is comprised of five keypads. Of these five keypads
only two can have their zone input terminals enabled (see figure 9). The other three
keypads must have their zone input terminals disabled as described below.
Example 2: A security installation is comprised of three 636 keypads and two 642 LCD
keypads. You can enable the ATZ (Zone Doubling) feature on one of the 642 keypads,
providing you with 2 zones on one keypad input terminal (see Figure 10). The remaining
four keypads must have their input terminals disabled as described below.
control panel will recognize these added zones as shown in the table below.
Disabling 636/646 Keypad Zones:
the black COM wire of the keypad.
Disabling 642 Keypad Zones:
If the keypad zone input terminal is not being used, disable it by shorting the ZONE and
terminals of the keypad with a 1K? resistor.
Keypad Zone Recognition
If using an LED keypad simply set the Zone Select Jumper at the back of the keypad:
Zone Select Jumper "OFF" = Keypad Zone 1
Zone Select Jumper "ON" = Keypad Zone 2
Note:
If the zone select jumper is changed, the control panel will only recognize the change
when the keypad is disconnected and re-connected.
If using an LCD keypad with ATZ disabled, program the keypad definition as follows:
Keypad Programming Mode, option [2] (Keypad Options); Key [3] OFF = Keypad Zone 1
Keypad Programming Mode, option [2] (Keypad Options); Key [3] ON = Keypad Zone 2
The control panel will display open keypad zones as follows:
748 and 748 EXPRESS
Kpd Zone 1 = Zone [13]
Kpd Zone 2 = Zone [14]
Note:When the ATZ feature is enabled in the control panel, it will not be able to distinguish
between zone 13 and keypad zone 1 and between zone 14 and keypad zone 2
(see section 2.10)
6
Installation
Once the keypad zones have been defined you must enable "Keypad Zone Supervision" (see
section 7.13 & 7.14) in the control panel. Figures 8 and 9 demonstrate typical keypad zone input
installations.
2.9Single Zone Input Terminal Connections
The system hardware recognizes the following single zone input terminal connections. For more
information on programming the options mentioned below refer to ZONE DEFINITIONS in section 7.
2.9.1N.C. Contacts, Without EOL Resistor
If your security installation does not require

Installation
tamper or wire fault detection, connect the
detection devices and program the control
panel as shown in figure 11. This setup will
communicate an open or closed zone to the
control panel, displaying open zones on the
keypad. Do not use devices with normally
open contacts in this setup, as this will
cause the control panel to remain in alarm.
2.9.2N.O. and N.C. Contacts, With EOL Resistor (UL)
If your security installation does not require
tamper or wire fault recognition but some
detection devices will use normally open
contacts. Connect all detection devices
using a 1K? end of line (EOL) resistor
and program the control panel as shown
in figures 12 and 13. This setup will
communicate an open or closed zone to
the control panel, displaying open zones
on the keypad.
2.9.3N.C. Contacts, Without EOL Resistor, With Tamper Recognition
If your security installation requires tamper
recognition, all detection devices must
use normally closed contacts. Connect
the devices and program the control
panel as shown in figure 14. This setup
will communicate an open or closed zone
to the control panel, displaying open
zones on the keypad. The control panel
will also communicate any detected
tampers (cuts) as per Tamper/Wire FaultRecognition Options (see section 10.7).
2.9.4N.C. Contacts, With EOL Resistor, With Tamper and Wire Fault
Recognition (UL)
If your security installation requires tamper
(cut) and wire fault (short) recognition, all
detection devices must use normally
closed contacts. Connect the devices and
program the control panel as shown in
figure 15. This setup will communicate an
open or closed zone to the control panel,
displaying open zones on the keypad.
The control panel will also communicate
any detected tampers (cuts) and/or wire
faults (short) as per Tamper/Wire Fault Recognition Options (see section 10.7).

2.10Advanced Technology Zone (ATZ) Connections
This feature is not available on the 748 EXPRESScontrol panel.
Enabling the ATZ feature (see section 7.2) allows you install two detection devices per input
terminal, therefore, doubling zone capacity of the control panel. Advanced Technology Zoning is a
software-oriented feature, there is no need for extra modules, simply install the devices as shown
in figures 17 to 19. The control panel will recognize the installed devices as shown in figure 16. The
extra zones function exactly like any other zone displaying zone status on the keypad and sending
separate alarm codes for each zone. For more information on programming the options mentioned
in the following sections refer to ZONE DEFINITIONS in section 7.
Installation
When ATZ is enabled, keypad zones are recognized as zones 13 and 14. This means that the
control panel will not be able to distinguish between zone 13 and keypad zone 1 and
between zone 14 and keypad zone 2.
2.10.1 N.C. Contacts, Without EOL Resistor
If your security installation does not require
tamper or wire fault recognition but you are
using the ATZ feature, connect the detection
devices and program the control panel as
shown in figure 17. Do not use devices with
normally open contacts, as this will cause the
system to remain in alarm. This setup will
communicate the status of each device to the
control panel (see figure 16), displaying open
zones on the keypad.
9
Installation
2.10.2 N.C. Contacts, Without EOL Resistor, With Tamper Recognition
If your security installation requires tamper
recognition and you are using the ATZ feature,
connect the detection devices and program
the control panel as shown in figure 18. Do not
use devices with normally open contacts, as
this will cause the zone to remain open. This
setup will communicate the status of each
zone to the control panel (see figure 16),
displaying open zones on the keypad. The
control panel will also communicate any
detected tampers (cuts) on the system as per
Tamper/Wire Fault Recognition Options (see
section 10.7).
2.10.3 N.C. Contacts, With EOL Resistor, With Tamper & Wire Fault
Recognition (UL)
If your system requires tamper (cut) and wire
fault (short) recognition, connect two detection
devices to one input terminal with a 1K? end
of line (EOL) resistor and program the control
panel as shown in figure 19. Do not use
devices with normally open contacts, this will
cause the zone to remain open. This setup will
communicate the status of each zone to the
control panel (see figure 16), displaying open
zones on the keypad. Any tampers (cuts)
and/or wire fault (shorts) detected on the
system are communicated as per Tamper/WireFault Recognition Options (see section 10.7).
2.11Fire Circuit
If your security installation requires the use of smoke detectors, define zone 3 as a
"24-hour" fire zone; please refer to section 7.5.
2.11.1 Standard Installation
Connect the smoke detectors to zone 3 as shown in figure 20. Note that a fire
zone must use a 1K? EOL resistor. If there is a line short or if the smoke
detector becomes active, whether the system is armed or disarmed, the
control panel will generate an alarm (see Fire Alarm Output figure on page 30).
If the line is "open", the control panel will send a "fire loop" trouble report to the
central station and trouble indicator, key [11], will appear in the keypad’s
trouble display.
10
2.11.2 UL Installation
For UL installations, use a 4-wire, latching, smoke detector (UL Falcon Model 5454). To supervise the power supply, install an "end
of line" relay (Model MR3). Connect the smoke detectors and relay
as shown in figure 21. In the event power is interrupted the relay will
cause a FIRE TROUBLE report to be generated (see section 7.5).
To reset (unlatch) the smoke detectors after an alarm, momentarily
interrupt power to the detectors. To do so, verify that the negative (-)
of the smoke detectors is connected to a PGM. Set the PGM for
"Timed N.C." (normally closed), and program the PGM to "open"
when any two keys on the keypad are pressed simultaneously. For
more information on programming the PGM refer to section 9.
EXAMPLE: To program PGM1 to conduct a smoke detector reset
when the [CLEAR] and [ENTER] keys are pressed at the same time.
It is recommended to connect all 4-wire smoke detectors using a daisy chain configuration.
2.12Serial Output Connector
The four pin Serial Output Connector is used to connect additional devices such as the 708DVACS
communicator, the Esprint printing module and the SRI-18 PGM Expander Module to the control
panel. For serial output connector specifications refer to section 1.3.

3.2Master & User Codes
Default Master Code: 474747
user 1 codes can program these access codes. (See section 11.1)
The 748 & 748 EXPRESS Control Panels can be programmed using either the keypad or the
Espload Software. We highly recommend programming the control panels using the Espload
Software, as it simplifies the process and reduces the potential of data entry errors. You can also
program the control panels manually by using a keypad.
4.1Espload Software
With the Espload Software, you can program the 748 family of control panels remotely via
modem or locally using an ADP-1 adapter. The advanced Espload software can execute fast
uploads or downloads and provides many powerful features. These include a comprehensive
"monitoring" mode to oversee all panel activity, a "scheduler" to initiate pre-programmed tasks at
set intervals, and a "batch" mode to carry out pre-programmed tasks following a call from the
control panel. Using Espload there is no limit to the number of account files or panel defaults
created and you can assign thousands of programming combinations to the PGM outputs. Espload
can also be converted to the language of your choice. Contact your local Paradox Distributor for
your FREE copy of the Espload software.
Programming Methods
4.2Keypad
When programming, use the supplied "Programming Guide" to keep track of which addresses were
programmed and how. Before you begin programming the control panel, we recommend you read
sections 5 through 11 of this manual in order to acquire a good understanding of the control panel
and its many features. When programming with the keypad, certain addresses are programmed
using different methods. These methods are described in detail below. Each section in this manual
will reference the appropriate programming method.
4.2.1Hexa Programming
Addresses 000 to 043 and 300 to 527
are programmed using the Hexa
Programming method. In this mode,
you can enter any hexa-digit from 0-F
where keys [1] to [9] represent digits 1
to 9 respectively; the other keys
represent hexa-digits A to F as shown
in figure 22. To program using the
