1.0 INTRODUCTION
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 Keypadand 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.

2.0 BASIC OPERATION
The Spectra 1689 LED and 1641 LCD Keypads function in
the same way, but display the visual feedback differently.
This section will provide an overview of the keypads.
Many of the features in your system must be enabled
by the installer. If the feature is not programmed, the
keypad will emit a rejection beep and the action will be
cancelled. Refer to “System Checklist” in section 8.0
for details.
2.1 KEYPAD INDICATOR LIGHTS
The state of each light on the Spectra Keypads represents a
specific condition in your system as shown in Figure 2.1.

2.3 AUDITORY FEEDBACK
When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide you
with beep tones. You should be familiar with these:
Confirmation Beep: When an operation (i.e. arming/
disarming) is successfully entered on the keypad or when the
system switches to a new status/mode, the keypad produces
an intermittent beep tone (“BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).
Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to previous status
or when an operation is incorrectly entered on the keypad, it
will emit a continuous beep tone (“BEEEEEEEEP”).

[3] Power Failure
The system has detected a loss of AC power. This trouble
usually occurs during a power failure. If a power failure is not
occurring in your establishment and this trouble appears,
contact your Security Company for service.
[4] Bell/PGM2 Disconnected Trouble
Any device connected to the Bell or PGM2 output is no longer
connected to your alarm system.
[5] Bell Current Failure
During an alarm, the bell output, which uses a fuseless
circuit, will automatically shut down if the current exceeds a
predetermined value. When the system is disarmed, the
current is cut from the bell output and the Trouble warning
may extinguish, but the Trouble may re-occur during the next
alarm if the situation is not corrected.
[6] Auxiliary Current Failure
The auxiliary output, which supplies power to your alarm
system’s accessories, uses a fuseless circuit to protect the
power supply against current overload and automatically
shuts down if the current exceeds a predetermined value.
[7] Communication Failure
Your alarm system, if monitored, could not communicate with
the Security Company.
Spectra Keypads 11
[8] Timer Loss
Your alarm system’s clock must be re-programmed. This is
the only trouble that we recommend that you correct.
To re-program the clock press the [8] button after Step 2
from the TroubleDisplay (see “How Do I Access the Trouble
Display?” at the beginning of section 2.6) and enter the
current time using the 24-hour clock (i.e. 8:30PM = 20:30).
Also, see Appendix A.
[9] Tamper/Zone Wiring Failure
A wiring problem is occurring on one or more zones.
To view which zones are experiencing trouble, press the
[9] button after Step 2 from the Trouble Display (see “How
Do I Access the Trouble Display?” at the beginning of
section 2.6).
[10] Telephone Line Monitoring Failure
The system has not detected the presence of a telephone
line for more than 30 seconds.
[11] Fire Zone Trouble
A wiring problem on the fire zone is occurring.
[12] Module Loss
A module is no longer communicating with your system.
12 User’s Manual
[13] Wireless Transmitter Supervision Loss
A wireless transmitter is no longer communicating with its
receiver or its batteries are disconnected..
To view on which zones the Wireless Transmitters are
experiencing trouble, press the [MEM] button after Step 2
from the Trouble Display (see “How Do I Access the Trouble
Display?” at the beginning of section 2.6).
[16] Keypad Fault
If for any reason your keypad is no longer communicating
with your alarm system, the keypad will emit four consecutive
beeps at 3-second intervals. Press any button on the keypad
to terminate the “beeping” sequence. When communication
is restored, the keypad will resume its functions.
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.

3.0 PROGRAMMING ACCESS CODES
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
