Reference & Installation Manual

Part 1: Introduction

1.1Features

•32 zones (any of which can be wireless or keypad zones).

•32 users and 32 remote controls (one per user).

•In-field upgrades: Update the panel’s firmware by connecting it to a PC via a 307USB Interface and then using the Winload software (V2.80 or higher).

•Menu-driven programming for the Installer, Master, and Maintenance codes. This enables you to program the panel through a simple and easy to use interface, without the use of section numbers.

•Multiple telephone numbers for event reporting: Three for the monitoring station, five for personal dialing and one for pager reporting. Up to five persons can now be contacted by the panel in case of alarm.

•Calendar with daylight savings time (enable section [730], option [1] and choose section [731] to put in the Country Code): You can now select 1 out of 18 different country groups each with its own preprogrammed local daylight savings time. You can also customize the daylight saving time by programming sections [732] and [733].

•New Sleep arming method: Similar to Stay arming, Sleep arming allows users to remain in a protected area, but provides a higher level of protection. For example, in a two-story house, the perimeter is protected with Stay arming. With Sleep arming, the perimeter as well as the main floor is protected (motion detectors, etc.), allowing you to roam the second floor and sleeping quarters.

•Connect up to 15 hardwire keypads on the 4-wire communication bus.

•Push button power reset: Convenient reset button saves time when a momentary powerdown is required as opposed to having to physically disconnect the control panel’s power cables. Press and hold the RESET switch for five seconds. The STATUS LED will start flashing. Within 2 seconds of this flashing, press the reset switch again. The panel will reset to default and restart. Also, you can reset all programmable sections to factory default values in section [950].

•Available in 433MHz or 868MHz.

•Supports Memory Key (PMC-4 and PMC5).

•RF jamming supervision (section [700], option [5]): The control panel will report a trouble if the RF signal is being jammed.

•Supports SIA reporting format to central station.

Part 2: Installation

2.1Location and Mounting

Before mounting the cabinet, push the five white nylon mounting studs into the back of the cabinet. Pull all cables into the cabinet and prepare them for connection before mounting the circuit board into the back of the cabinet. Select a centralized installation site on the main floor that isn't easily accessible to intruders and leave at least 5cm (2in) 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. Avoid installation near or in the path of strong RF fields (i.e. neon lights, computers), on or near metal objects, circuit breaker boxes, air conditioners and heater ducts since they may cause interference and reduce sensitivity. Avoid installing the control panel in the basement.

Do not cut, bend or alter the antennas and ensure that electrical wires do not cross over the antennae as these may affect the signal reception.

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 maximum lightning protection, use separate earth grounds for the zone and dialer grounds as shown in the PCB Layouts for each respective panel. For UL installations, the metallic enclosure must be grounded to the cold water pipe.

2.3AC Power

Do not use any switch-controlled outlets to power the transformer. Connect the transformer as shown in Figure 1 on page 3. Use Table 1 to determine the required transformer.

Table 1: Transformer Requirements Table

Transformer:	Amseco XP-1620 16VAC 20VA	UL: Universal UB1640W
	(not verified by UL)	16.5VAC 40VA
DC Power Supply rated at:	1.1A	1.5A
Auxiliary Supply can provide a maximum of:	typ: 600mA, max: 700mA	typ: 600mA, max: 700mA
		Do not exceed 200mA for UL installations
Acceptable Battery Charge Currents	350mA	350mA/700mA

2.4Backup Battery

To provide power during a power loss, connect a 12Vdc 4Ah rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell backup battery as shown in Figure 1 below. Use a 7Ah battery to comply with UL fire requirements. Connect the backup battery after applying AC power. When installing, verify proper polarity as reversed connections will blow the battery fuse.

2.4.1Battery Test

If the battery is disconnected or if the battery fuse is blown, a No/Low Battery failure will appear in the keypad’s trouble display (see Trouble Display on page 60). This trouble will also appear if the battery’s capacity is too low or if the voltage drops to 10.5V or lower while the control panel is running on the backup battery. At 8.5V or lower, the panel shuts down and all outputs close.

Figure 1: AC Power and Backup Battery Connections

UL Warning:

A 12Vdc / 7Ah battery is required to comply with UL fire requirements.

Caution:

Disconnect battery before replacing the fuse.

Improper connection of the transformer may result in damage to the system.

2.11Auxiliary Power Terminals

The auxiliary power supply terminals can be used to power motion detectors, keypads and other modules or accessories in the security system. A fuseless circuit protects the power supply against current overload and automatically shuts down if the current exceeds 1.1A. If this occurs, the Maximum Auxiliary Current failure will appear in the keypad’s trouble display (see Trouble Display on page 60). Therefore, the combined current consumption of devices connected to the auxiliary power supply should not exceed 700mA. If the auxiliary output is overloaded and is shut down, you must disconnect all loads from the output for at least 10 seconds before reconnecting any load back to the auxiliary output.

2.12Telephone Line Connection

In order to report system events to the monitoring station, you must connect the incoming telephone company wires into the TIP and RING connections of the control panel and then run the wires from T1 and R1 to the telephone or telephone system as shown in PCB Layouts for each respective panel.

2.13Bell Output Connection

The BELL+ and BELLterminals power bells, sirens and other warning devices requiring a steady voltage output during an alarm. The bell output supplies 12Vdc upon alarm and can support one 30-watt or two 20-watt sirens. The bell output uses a fuseless circuit and will automatically shut down if the current exceeds 3A. When this occurs the Maximum Bell Current failure will only appear in the keypad’s trouble display (see Trouble Display on page 60) during an alarm. If the load on the BELL terminals returns to normal, the control panel will re-instate power to the BELL terminals during the next alarm. When connecting sirens, please verify correct polarity. Connect the positive lead to the BELL+ terminal and the negative lead to the BELLterminal of the control panel as shown in PCB Layouts for each respective panel.

If the BELL output is not being used, the Bell Disconnected failure will remain in the keypad’s trouble display (see Trouble Display on page 60). To avoid this connect a 1KΩ resistor across the BELL terminals.

For connection of a self-contained bell/siren, see PCB Layouts for each respective panel.

2.14Programmable Output Connections

When a specific event occurs in the system, a PGM can reset smoke detectors, activate strobe lights, open/close garage doors and much more.

2.14.1PGMs

The control panels include two/four on-board programmable outputs (PGMs). For details on how to program PGMs, see Programmable Outputs on page 53. PGM1 and PGM2 can support up to 150mA. The PGMs are limited by the power source being used. If powered by:

•The AUX terminals. The current consumption of the AUX terminals cannot exceed 700mA. Therefore, whatever devices are connected to the AUX terminals (i.e. modules and PGMs) cannot exceed 700mA combined. For example, if there are six modules connected to the AUX terminals that are using 600mA and you wish to power the PGM using the AUX terminals, the PGM’s current consumption cannot exceed 100mA.

•An external power supply. If using an external power supply, the current consumption cannot exceed 150mA for PGM1 and PGM2. If the external power supply’s current consumption limit is less than that of the PGM it is connected to, than the current consumption will not exceed the power supply’s current limit.

UL Note: The AUX terminals cannot exceed 200mA for UL installations.

2.15Single Zone Inputs

Detection devices such as motion detectors and door contacts are connected to the control panel's zone input terminals. Figure 3 demonstrates single zone input terminal connections recognized by the panel. Once connected, the associated zone's parameters must be defined.

Figure 3: Single Zone Input Connections

Magellan / Spectra SP 12

2.16Advanced Technology Zone (ATZ) Connections

The ATZ feature is a software oriented feature that enables two detection devices to be installed per hardwired input terminal. Each detection device has its own zone, displays its zone status on the keypad and sends its own alarm codes. Fire zones cannot be doubled.

Figure 4: Advanced Technology Zone Connections

13 Reference & Installation Manual

2.17Fire Circuits

When a zone is programmed as a fire zone, the zone becomes normally open and requires an EOL resistor. If a line short occurs or if the smoke detector becomes active, whether the system is armed or disarmed, the control panel will generate an alarm. If a trouble occurs on a fire zone, the Fire Loop Trouble will appear in the keypad’s trouble display (see Trouble Display on page 60) and the control panel can transmit the Fire Loop Trouble report, if programmed, in section [866].

Figure 5: Fire Circuits

2.17.14-Wire and 2-Wire Installation:

For 4-wire installation, program the Activation Event so that the smoke detectors can be reset by pressing the [CLEAR]

+ [ENTER] keys for three seconds. See Event Group # 6 in the Event Description list in the programming guide.

For 2-wire smoke detector installation, connect the 2-wire smoke detectors. If a line short occurs or the smoke detector activates, whether the system is disarmed, the control panel will generate an alarm. If the line is open, the “Zone Fault” trouble indication appears on the trouble display and the report code is sent to the monitoring station, if programmed. To reset 2-wire smoke detectors, press the [CLEAR] + [ENTER] keys for three seconds.

Part 3: Programming Methods

3.1WinLoad Software for Windows

Program the control panels remotely or on-site using the WinLoad Software (V2.80 or higher) for Windows®. For more information, contact your local Paradox Distributor or visit our web site at paradox.com. If you are using the WinLoad software, you must program the features (see Settings for WinLoad Software on page 58). Update the panel’s firmware by connecting it to a PC via a 307 Direct Connect Interface and then using the Winload software. (Not investigated by UL).
