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 & ReferenceManual. 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 [INSTALLERCODE]
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 ProgrammingMethod. 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.

MULTIPLE FEATURE SELECT PROGRAMMING METHOD
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 MultipleFeature Select ProgrammingMethod (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 morethan 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].
