Programming Guide

HOW DO I PROGRAM THE SYSTEM?

The SpectraTM series control panels can be programmed using the WinLoad Software or by using any keypad connected to
the Spectra control panel. For information on the WinLoad Software, please refer to the Spectra Installation & Reference
Manual. To program the Spectra control panel using a keypad, you must enter the Programming Mode as shown below.
Once a control panel has been programmed, you can use the Paradox Memory Key to copy the contents from the
programmed control panel to one or more control panels (see page5).

Default Installer Code: 000000 (see section [281] on page20)
Default System Master Code: 123456 (see section [301] on page21)

To enter Programming Mode:

STEP 1: Press [ENTER]
STEP 2: Enter your [INSTALLER CODE]
STEP 3: Enter 3 digits of [SECTION] you wish to program
STEP 4: Enter required [DATA]

SINGLE DIGIT DATA ENTRY METHOD (Hexadecimal and Decimal)

Single Digit Data Entry is used in all sections except those specified in Multiple Feature Select Programming Method. After
entering the programming mode as described in the shaded box above, some sections will require that you enter Decimal
values from 000 to 255. Other sections will require that you enter Hexadecimal values from 0 to F. The required data will be
clearly indicated in this manual. When entering the final digit in a section, the control panel will automatically save and
advance to the next section. With the exception of sections 001 to 016, where after entering the first two digits, the control
panel will switch to Multiple Feature Select Programming.

Sections: [001] to [016], [127] to [138], [302] to [348], [610], [650] to [651]
After entering the programming mode as described in the shaded box above, each option from [1] to [8] will represent a
specific feature or option. Press the key corresponding to the desired option and the corresponding light will illuminate or the
option number will appear in the LCD display. This means the option is on. Press the key again to extinguish the
corresponding light or remove the digit from the LCD display, thereby, turning off the option. Please note that pressing the
[FORCE] key will set all 8 options to “off”. Press the keys as many times as you need until all 8 options in the current section
are set. When the options are set, press the [ENTER] key to save and advance to the next section.

DATA DISPLAY MODE (LED Keypads Only)

In the Data Display Mode you can view the programmed contents of each section one digit at a time. After entering the
desired 3-digit section (see step 3 of the “To Enter Programming Mode” box on the previous page), press the [ENTER] key to
access the Data Display Mode. This mode will not function with sections using the Multiple Feature Select Programming
Method (see previous page).

PARADOX MEMORY KEY

Copy the programmed contents of one Spectra control panel into the Paradox Memory Key. Then copy the contents of the Paradox
Memory Key into as many Spectra control panels as you need. Each control panel is programmed in less than 3 seconds.

If you use the Memory Key to download to a Spectra 1755, 1755EX, 1758, or 1758EX, you will have to
reassign the remote controls (see page28).

Download to DESTINATION Control Panel

1)Remove AC and battery power from the control panel.

2)Insert the Memory Key onto the serial connector labeled “KEY” on the Spectra control panel to
which you wish to download the contents of the memory key to.

3) Reapply AC and battery power.

4)Enter installer programming mode, enter section [900], then press [ENTER] to acknowledge.

5)When the keypad emits a “confirmation beep”, remove the Memory Key.

Copy to Memory Key from SOURCE Control Panel

1)Remove AC and battery power from the control panel.

2)Insert Memory Key onto the serial connector labeled “KEY” on the Spectra control panel from which
you wish to copy. Make sure the write protect jumper of the Memory Key is on.

3)Reapply AC and battery power.

4)Enter installer programming mode, enter section [902], then press [ENTER] to acknowledge.

5)When the keypad emits a “confirmation beep”, remove the Memory Key. Remove the Memory
Key’s jumper if you do not wish to accidentally overwrite its contents.

ZONE PROGRAMMING

When programming zones please note that the Spectra control panels’ zone assignment is dependent on where
the detection devices in the system are connected (see Table 2 below).

WHAT IS AN EXPANSION INPUT?

1728EX 1728
1758EX 1758

There are a total of eight expansion inputs available. Each hardwired input on a Zone Expansion Module or wireless
transmitter used by the LiberatorTM Wireless Bus Module can be assigned to an expansion input. The expansion inputs can
be used in any combination. For example, you can assign four wireless transmitters as well as 4 hardwire inputs to the
expansion inputs. Regardless of how many expansion modules are being used, the control panel cannot support more
than eight expansion inputs. The expansion module inputs are assigned as follows:

SPC-319 Liberator Wireless Bus Module

Wireless transmitters assigned to sections [601] to [608] of the control panel represent expansion inputs 1 to 8 respectively.
Refer to Wireless Transmitter Assignment on page22.

SPC-ZX4 and SPC-ZX8 Zone Expansion Module

Detection devices connected to input terminals Z1 to Z4 of the SPC-ZX4 module or Z1 to Z8 of the SPC-ZX8 module,
represent expansion inputs 1 to 8 respectively. Please note that the module’s inputs must be enabled in section [651] of the
control panel. Refer to Zone Assignment on page25.

Do not assign devices from different modules to the same expansion input. For example, do not assign a
wireless transmitter to section [601], then connect a detection device to input Z1 of the SPC-ZX8 and enable
option [1] in section [651].

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the Access Code Length is changed from four digits to six digits when access codes have

already been programmed, the control panel will automatically add the last 2 digits by using the first 2 digits.
For example, if the access code is 1234 and you switch to 6 digits, the code will become 123412. Be sure to
verify the access codes after switching from 4-digit access codes to 6-digit codes. When switching from six dig­its to four digits, the control panel will simply remove the final two digits of the access code. For example,
123456 will become 1234.

Programming Guide

LIBERATOR WIRELESS BUS MODULE (SPC-319)

The following options and features are only available to program when a Liberator Wireless Bus Module has
been connected to the Spectra control panel’s communication bus as shown on page 37. The Liberator Wireless
Bus Module (SPC-319) allows you to add up to eight fully programmable remote controls and up to eight Liberator
Wireless Detectors and Contact Switches (door contacts). The SPC-319 also provides one programmable 5A
relay (PGM). A second 5A programmable relay (PGM) is available as an option.

The Liberator Wireless Bus Module does not function with the Spectra 1755, 1755EX, 1758 and 1758EX
control panels. Do not connect more than one Liberator Module.

WIRELESS TRANSMITTER ASSIGNMENT (Liberator Only)

The serial number can be located on the inside of the transmitter or you can use the Serial Number Display (see page23).
Use the Liberator Wireless Motion Detectors (Model# 9002) and the Liberator Contact Switches (Model# 9020).

USER OPERATION

TROUBLE DISPLAY

The Spectra system continuously monitors fourteen possible trouble conditions. When a trouble condition occurs, the [TBL]
button or [TRBL] indicator will illuminate on the LED keypads or “Trouble” will appear on the LCD keypad’s screen. Press the
[TBL] or [TRBL] button to switch to the Trouble Display. The [TBL] button or [TRBL] indicator will flash and lights corresponding
to an existing trouble condition will illuminate on the LED keypads (see below) or the appropriate trouble message will appear
on the LCD keypad. Press the [CLEAR] button to exit the Trouble Display.

Please note that the keypad can be programmed to emit a “BEEP” every 5 seconds whenever a new trouble condition has
occurred. Pressing the [TBL] or [TRBL] button will stop the “beeping”.

[1] No/Low Battery Failure The control panel performs a dynamic battery test under load every 60 seconds. This trou-

ble indicates that the back-up battery is disconnected or that the battery should be
replaced, as it will not provide adequate back-up current in case of AC loss. This trouble
will also appear when the control panel is running on battery power and the battery voltage
has dropped to 10.5 volts or lower. This means the battery must be recharged or replaced.

Programming Guide

PARTITIONING

The Spectra system is equipped with a partitioning feature which can divide the 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 an office/warehouse building. When partitioned, each zone, each User Code and some of the system's
features can be assigned to either Partition 1, Partition 2, or both partitions. If the system is not partitioned, all User Codes

and features will be recognized as belonging to partition 1.

How does a partitioned system work?

• Users can only arm/disarm partitions to which they have been
assigned.

• Only zones assigned to Partition 1 will arm/disarm when Partition 1 is
armed or disarmed.

• Only zones assigned to Partition 2 will arm/disarm when Partition 2 is
armed or disarmed.

• Zones assigned to both partitions will arm when both partitions are
armed and will disarm when at least one partition disarms.

• Some of the system’s features can be programmed separately for
each partition.

PROGRAMMING ACCESS CODES

Access Codes are personal identification numbers that allow users to enter certain programming modes, arm or disarm the
alarm system as well as activate or deactivate PGMs. The Spectra security system supports the following:

System Master Code can arm or disarm any partition using any arming method and can create, modify or delete any User
Access Code. Only the System Master Code can modify or delete User Access Codes assigned to both partitions.

Master Code 1 is permanently assigned to partition 1 and can be used to create, modify or delete User Access Codes 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 User Access Codes that are assigned to the same partition.

45 User Access Codes (including 1 Duress code)

DISARMING & DEACTIVATING AN ALARM

To disarm an already armed system or to deactivate an alarm simply key in a valid access code. Program a designated entry/exit
point, such as the front door or the garage door with an Entry Delay Timer. When these entry/exit point are opened (breached), it
will set off a timer. The system will not generate an alarm until this timer elapses, giving users enough time to enter the premises
and disarm the system. Any user can disarm the system, except users have been assigned the Arm Only Option.

How Do I Disarm the System or Deactivate an Alarm?

1) Key in your [ACCESS CODE]

The arm or alarm indication will turn off and the keypad will emit a “CON-

FIRMATION BEEP”.

IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO BOTH PARTITIONS:

2) Press the button corresponding to the partition you wish to Disarm or
to Disarm both partitions, press the [1] key then after the
confirmation beep press the [2] key.

REGULAR ARMING

This method, commonly used for day-to-day arming, will arm all the zones in the selected partition.

How Do I Regular Arm?

1) Green “READY” indicator must be illuminated. Unless the system is
partitioned, in which case all zones in the desired partition must be closed.

2) Key in a valid [ACCESS CODE]

IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO BOTH PARTITIONS:

3) Press the button corresponding to the partition you wish to Arm. To
Arm both partitions, press the [1] key then after the confirmation
beep press the [2] key.

If you make a mistake, the keypad will emit a "REJECTION BEEP". When you have correctly armed the system, the appropriate
"ARM" indication will turn on and the Exit Delay will be initiated. Please note that Regular Arming can also be activated using
Auto-Arming, a Keyswitch or using One-Touch Arming.

STAY ARMING

This method allows users to remain in the protected area while partially arming the system. For example, when going to sleep
at night, entry/exit points like doors and windows can be armed while other zones like motion detectors remain deactivated.
Please note that Fire Zones can not be bypassed.

How Do I Stay Arm?

1) All zones in the desired partition (except Stay Zones) must be closed.

2) Press the [STAY] button

3) Key in a valid [ACCESS CODE]
IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO BOTH PARTITIONS:

4) Press the button corresponding to the partition you wish to Stay Arm.
To Stay Arm both partitions, press the [1] key then after the
confirmation beep press the [2] key.

If you make a mistake, the keypad will emit a "REJECTION BEEP". When you have correctly Stay Armed the system, the appropriate
“ARM” indication will appear and the Exit Delay will be initiated. Stay Arming can also be activated using Auto-Arming, Keyswitch
Arming or using One-Touch Arming. Also note that the User Code must have the Stay Arming Option enabled.

Programming Guide

INSTANT ARMING

After Stay Arming the system and during its Exit Delay, press and hold the [STAY] button for 3 seconds. You should hear a

"CONFIRMATION BEEP". This will switch all armed zones to Instant zones.
If you have access to both partitions:

To Instant Arm one partition, press [STAY] + [ACCESS CODE] + [SELECT PARTITION] + [CLEAR] + press & hold [STAY]
To Instant Arm both partitions, press [STAY] + [ACCESS CODE] + [1] + [2] + press & hold [STAY]

FORCE ARMING

Force Arming allows users to rapidly arm the system, without having to wait for all zones in the system to be closed. Force Arming
is commonly used when a motion detector is protecting the area occupied by a keypad. Therefore, when arming the system, if the
motion detector is set as a Force Zone, the control panel will ignore the zone and allow users to arm the system even if the zone
is open. Any open Force Zones at the time of arming will be considered "deactivated" by the control panel. If during this period a
"deactivated" zone is closed, the control panel will revert that zone to "active" status, hence, will generate an alarm if breached.

How Do I Force Arm?

1) All zones in the desired partition (except Force Zones) must be closed.

2) Press the [FORCE] button

3) Key in a valid [ACCESS CODE]
IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO BOTH PARTITIONS:

4) Press the button corresponding to the partition you wish to Arm. To

Arm both partitions, press the [1] key then after the confirmation beep
press the [2] key.

If you make a mistake, the keypad will emit a "REJECTION BEEP". When correctly Force Armed, the appropriate "ARM"
indication will appear and the Exit Delay will be initiated. Please note that Force Arming can also be activated using One-
Touch Force Arming. Also note that the Access Code must have the Force Arming Option enabled.

MANUAL BYPASS PROGRAMMING

Manual Bypass Programming allows users to program the alarm system to ignore ("deactivate") specified zones the next
time the system is armed. Please note that Fire Zones can not be bypassed and that Manual Bypass Programming can also
be activated using One-Touch Bypass Programming.

How do I Program Bypass Entries?

1) Press the [BYP] button.

2) Key in a valid [ACCESS CODE]*

3) Select one or more [ZONES] you wish to bypass

4) Once you have entered the desired bypass entries, press the [ENTER]

button to accept these entries.

*If you have access to both partitions, press the button corresponding to the desired
partition. The Access Code must have the Bypass Programming Option enabled.

Spectra Series

BYPASS RECALL FEATURE

After disarming the system, the control panel will erase the bypass entries. By using the Bypass Recall Feature, you can
reinstate the previous bypass entries saved in memory. This eliminates the need to manually program the bypass entries
every time you arm the system.

How Do I Recall Bypass Entries?

1) Press the [BYP] button.

2) Key in your [ACCESS CODE]*

3) Press the [BYP] button.

4) Press the [ENTER] button.

*If you have access to both partitions, press the button corresponding to the desired
partition. The Access Code must have the Bypass Programming Option enabled.

ONE-TOUCH ARMING

One-Touch Arming allows users to arm the system without the use of an access code, simply press and hold a button. One-

Touch Arming can be used to allow specific individuals like service personnel (i.e. cleaners, maintenance) to arm the system when

leaving the protected area, without giving them access to any other alarm system operations.

partition. To select both partitions, press the [1] key then after the confirmation beep press the [2] key.

KEYSWITCH ARMING

A keyswitch can be used to arm and disarm the system. Assign the keyswitch to a specific partition and program the
keyswitch to Stay or Regular Arm the assigned partition. Also program the keyswitch to function as a Maintained or
Momentary keyswitch. To arm the system using a Maintained Keyswitch, set the keyswitch to the "on" position. To disarm the
system set the keyswitch to the "off" position. To arm the system using a Momentary Keyswitch, set the keyswitch to the "on"
position then turn it back to the "off" position. Repeating this sequence will disarm the system.

PANIC ALARMS

In case of emergency, the Spectra system provides up to three panic alarms. These panic alarms, if programmed, will
immediately generate an alarm after pressing and holding two specific buttons for two seconds, as described below.

Programming Guide

AUTO-ARMING

You can program the Spectra alarm panel to automatically arm at a specific time everyday or if no movement is detected for a
specified period of time. The user is only allowed to program the Auto Arm Timer. Please note that the control panel will enter a 60-

second Exit Delay period before arming the system. At this point, Auto-Arming can be cancelled by entering a valid access code.

ALARM MEMORY DISPLAY

A record of all alarm situations that occur will be stored in memory. After disarming the system, pressing the [MEM] button will
display which zones were in alarm during the last armed period. To exit the Alarm Memory Display, press the [CLEAR] button.
The control panel will erase the contents of the alarm memory every time the system is armed.

PROGRAMMING CHIME ZONES

This feature allows users to program which zones will be "Chime Enabled". A "Chime Enabled" zone will cause the keypad to
emit a rapid intermittent beep tone (BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP) advising the user every time it is opened. Each keypad must be
Chime Programmed separately. Keypad chimes must be re-programmed if the system suffers a total power loss.

10-Zone LED Keypad:

Press and hold any button from [1] to [10] for 3 seconds to activate or deactivate Chiming for zones 1 to 10. For example,
press and hold the [1] button to enable chiming on zone 1. If after pressing and holding a button, the keypad emits a
confirmation beep, this means the chime feature has been enabled for that zone. If the keypad emits a rejection beep, this
means the chime feature has been disabled for the corresponding zone.

16-Zone LED Keypad:

Press and hold the [9] button. Enter the 2-digit (01 to 16) zone number(s). When the corresponding LED is on, the zone is
chimed. When the corresponding LED is off, the zone is unchimed. When the desired zones are chimed, press [ENTER].

LCD Keypad:

Press and hold the [9] button. Enter the 2-digit (01 to 16) zone number(s), or use the arrow keys to scroll through the zones.
and when the appropriate zone is displayed, press the [FNC1] button. When the desired zones are chimed, press [ENTER].

KEYPAD MUTING

Press and hold the [CLEAR] button for 3 seconds to enable or disable keypad muting. When muted, the keypad will only “beep”
when a button is pressed or when the keypad emits a rejection or confirmation beep. All other “beep” functions are disabled.
