Limitations of Alarm Systems
We strongly advise that you review and take into consideration the “Limitations of Alarm Systems” document
available on our website at http://paradox.com/Terms/
.
Warning for Connections to Non-Traditional Telephony (e.g. VoIP)
Paradox alarm equipment was designed to work effectively around traditional telephone systems. For those
customers who are using a Paradox alarm panel connected to a non-traditional telephone system, such as
"Voice Over Internet Protocol" (VoIP) that converts the voice signal from your telephone to a digital signal
traveling over the Internet, you should be aware that your alarm system may not function as effectively as with
traditional telephone systems.
For example, if your VoIP equipment has no battery back-up, during a power failure your system's ability to
transmit signals to the central station may be compromised. Or, if your VoIP connection becomes disabled, your
telephone line monitoring feature may also be compromised. Other concerns would include, without limitation,
Internet connection failures which may be more frequent than regular telephone line outages.
We therefore strongly recommend that you discuss these and other limitations involved with operating an alarm
system on a VoIP or other non-tra ditional telephone system with your inst allation company. They should be able
to offer or recommend measures to reduce the risks involved and give you a better understanding.

Patents
One or more of the following US patents may apply: 7046142, 6215399, 6111256, 6104319, 5920259, 5886632,
5721542, 5287111, 5119069, 5077549 and RE39406. Canadian and international patents may also apply.
User codes are personal identification numbers for each user that allow you to enter certain programming
modes, arm or disarm your system, as well as activate or deactivate PGMs. The system supports the following:
• 1 System Master Code
• 2 Master Codes
• 29 User Codes
System Master Code (Default: 123456)
The System Master Code can arm or disarm any partition, and can create, modify or delete any user code.
Master Codes
Master Code 1 is permanently assigned to Partition 1 and can be used to create, modify or delete user codes
that are assigned to Partition 1. Master Code 2 is permanently assigned to Partition 2 (exception: when
partitioning is disabled, Master Code 2 will be assigned to Partition 1) and can be used to create, modify or
delete user codes that are assigned to the same partition.
NOTE:
Code can modify or delete user codes assigned to both partitions.
Duress Code
If you are forced to arm or disarm your system, entering the user code with the duress option enabled will arm or
disarm the system and immediately transmit a silent alert (Duress Code) to the monitoring station. The duress
code must be enabled by your installer.
Master Codes cannot modify or delete user codes assigned to both partitions. Only the System Master
User Code Length
Your system can be programmed to use either 4- or 6-digit user codes, where each digit can be any value from
0 to 9. Six-digit codes are considered more difficult to “crack” and therefore, more secure. Avoid programming
simple or obvious user codes, such as your telephone number, address, or codes such as 1234.

Auditory Feedback
When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide you with beep tones that communicate confirmation or
rejection of your entries. You should be familiar with these two keypad beep tones:
Confirmation Beep: When an operation (e.g. 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”).
Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to its previous status or when an operation is incorrectly entered on
the keypad, it will emit a continuous beep tone (“
The following are other types of auditory feedback, and will always be accompanied by the flashing of an arm
key or LED ([
• Continuous beep = Alarm
• Variable beep = Fire alarm
• Intermittent beep = Beginning of exit delay
• Fast Intermittent beep = Last 10 seconds of exit delay
ARM], [STAY], or [SLEEP]):
BEEEEEEEEP”).
Visual Feedback
The keypad includes colored lights which convey the current status of your system. The state of each light
represents a specific condition in your system.
NOTE: 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 Zone Settings on page 3 for
details.

Keypad Muting
When muted, the keypad will only emit the confirmation beep and rejection beep, and will beep when a key is
pressed. Therefore, when muted, the keypad will not beep during an alarm and will not beep for chime enabled
zones. Each keypad must be muted separately.
How do I mute the keypad?

Remote Controls
Your security system supports three types of remote controls; the REM1, REM2, REM3 and REM15. The REM1
and REM15 are the most basic remote controls, with the ability to perform five actions (e.g. arming, disarming,
activating a PGM, etc.). The REM2 is more advanced, as it performs up to six different actions, as well as
provides visual and auditory feedback (see table below). The REM3 is the most advanced remote control, as it
has all the functionalities of a keypad (refer to the REM3 User Manual fo r more information ). The following t able
describes the visual and auditory feedback of the REM2 remote control.
NOTE: A wireless expansion module is necessary in order to use remote controls if you are using a Spectra SP
system. Please refer to your installer for more information regarding the use of remote controls with a Spectra
SP system.

StayD simplifies your life and makes it safer by protecting you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without ever
having to disarm the system – even when entering an armed area. StayD lives with you and protects you at all
times, without any unprotected periods, and automatically re-arms the system so you don’t need to remember
to.
When entering/exiting a site, the system partly disarms to let you pass through: simply notify the system with
your remote and go through the designated path which will automatically re-arm after you pass. All other zones
remain armed. The result is a system that is always protecting, without the uncertainty of whe ther t he system is
armed or not.
Other benefits of S tayD include kno wing when your kids are accessing potentially da ngerous areas, such as the
balcony, pool or front door. Now you can truly have peace of mind knowing that you are always protected.
Consult your installer for more information.

Sleep Arming
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 protec ted with Stay arming. With Sleep arming,
the perimeter as well as the main floor are protected (motion detectors, etc.), allowing you to roam the second
floor and sleeping quarters. Sleep zones are zones that are bypassed when Sleep arming. For example, when
you go to sleep at night, the entire premises except your bedroom is fully armed. Sleep arming can also be

No Movement Auto Arming
The alarm system can be programmed to arm the system and/or send a report to your monitoring station if no
zone activity occurs for a pre-programmed amount of time. This is a particularly useful feature when supervisin g
an individual with chronic health problems or for a person who lives alone. The system will bypass any open
zones.
Display Mode
The K32RF has two display modes. By default, the keypad will show all events (e.g. zones in alarm, bypassed
zones, etc.) live as they occur. Alternatively, the system can be programmed by your installer to only display
zones that cause an alarm or entry delay . If you want to see the status of all zon es, press the [] key. Zones that
are open but have not triggered an alarm will only be displayed after pressing the [] key. The information will
be displayed for 30 seconds (20 seconds for K37), showing the status of all zones at the time the [] key was
pressed. The zone display will shut off after 30 seconds (20 seconds for K37). For more information on the two
display modes, contact your installer.

Disarming & Deactivating an Alarm
To disarm an armed system or an alarm, press [OFF] and enter your [USERCODE]. An entry point, like the front
door, will be programmed with one of two Entry Delay Timers. When an entry point is opened, the keypad will
beep until you disarm the system. Your alarm system will not generate an alarm until this timer elapses. Any
user can disarm a partition they have been assigned to, except users assigned with the Arm Only Option or
PGM Only Option.

Panic Alarms
In case of an emergency, the system can provide three panic alarms that can immediately generate an alarm
after simultaneously pressing and holding two specific keys for three seconds. Based on your needs, these
panic alarms can generate audible alarms (sirens or bells) or silent alarms and can communicate specific
messages to your monitoring station. For instance, pressing [1] and [3] can mean “call the police” or anything
you require. This feature must be set by your installer.
Press and hold keys [1] and [3] for Panic type 1 (e.g. police).
Press and hold keys [4] and [6] for Panic type 2 (e.g. medical).

Minimizing Fire Hazards
The three most common causes of fires:
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S. It's also the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking fires
often result from unattended cooking and human error, rather than mechanical failure of stoves or ovens.
Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths. Smoke detectors and smolder-resistant bedding and
upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents. Heating is the second leading cause of residential fires.
However, heating f ires are a larger problem in single family homes than in apartment s since the heating systems
in single family homes are often not professionally maintained.
Fire Safety Tips
In the event of a fire, escape first, then call for help. Develop a home fire escape plan and designate a meeting
place outside. Make sure everyone in the family knows two ways to escape from every room. Practice feeling
your way out with your eyes closed. Never stand up in a fire, always crawl low under the smoke and try to keep

your mouth covered. Never return to a burning building for any reason; it may cost you your life. Finally, having
at least one working smoke alarm dramatically increases your chances of surviving a fire. And remember to
practice a home escape plan frequently with your family.
Providing a Fire Warning System
Household fires are especially dangerous at night. Fires produce smoke and deadly gases that can overcome
occupants while they sleep. To warn against fire, smoke detectors should be installed outside each separate
sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit,
including basements.
Testing & Maintenance
With the system disarmed and the “OFF” light illuminated, activate motion detectors by walking in the protected
area. Open and close protected doors and verify that the corresponding lights illuminate. Your installer can
advise you of the best way to test your particular system.
Do not use open flame or burning materials to test your fire detection devices. Contact your installer for safe
methods of testing your system.
Under normal use, your system requires virtually no maintenance other than regular testing. It is recommended
that the standby battery be changed every three years. Speak to your installer about the necessary tests and
how often they should be performed.
Communicating Through the Internet (IP100)
You can communicate with your security system via the internet by using a system accessory called the IP100
Internet Module (sold separately). The IP100 controls and monitors your security system remotely through any
web browser. It allows for email notifications of important system events such as alarms, arm/ disarm events,
and troubles. For example, receive an email at work when your kids get ba ck from school , or if an alarm occurs
in your system at home.
You can also view live status of your system and arm/disarm your system. For example, you have just left your
office for the weekend but are not sure you remembered to arm it. Simply check the status of your system from
a laptop and arm it remotely. There is no PC software to install, as the IP100 is web-based. It uses a userfriendly web-page that puts you in control. Consult your installer or refer to the IP100 User manual for more
information.
Communicating Using Text Messages (PCS100)
You can communicate with your security system using text messages (SMS) by using a system accessory
called the PCS100 GSM Module (sold separately). The GSM module allows you to receive text messages of
system events, such as alarms or troubles, on your cellular phone. It also allows you to send text messages to
arm or disarm your system from anywhere in the world. Consult your installer for more information.
Receiving Text Messages
To receive text messages from your system you need to:
• Program the telephone numbers you wish to receive text notifications.
• Select which event groups (alarm, arm/disarm, trouble and trouble restore) will generate text messages.
• Select which partition the phone number is assigned to.

You can arm or disarm the system by sending a text message (SMS) from any cell phone. The message must
be sent to the GSM module’s phone number, as determined by the cell phone provider (consult your installer for
more information). Text message commands have a specific format which follows this pattern:
C[
USER CODE].[ACTION].A[PARTITIONS].[PHONENUMBER]
NOTE: SMS commands must be entered in capital letters.
Example:C1234.ARM.A1.5555551234
C1234.OFF.A1.5555551234
In the example above, user code 1234 will arm or disarm partition 1, and the confirmation message will be sent
the following phone number: (555) 555-1234.
User Code
The first part of the text message is the user code (same code used on the alarm system). It must be prefaced
with the letter C and followed by a period.
Example:C1234.
Action
It is possible to arm or disarm the system. The command must be entered after the user code and followed by a
period. To arm the system, enter the ARM command. To disarm the system, enter the OFF command.
Example:C1234.ARM.
Magellan / Spectra SP19
Partition
It is possible to arm or disarm specific partitions. The partitions must be prefaced by th e letter A, and separated
by commas for individual partitions. It is also possible to affect a series of partitions by writing TO between the
start and end partitions of that series. The list of partitions must be followed by a period.
Examples:C1234.ARM.A1.
C1234.ARM.A1TO2.
Phone Number
This informs the system of which phone number must be notified by SMS to confirm the status change.
Example:C1234.ARM.A1,3,5TO7.5555551234
IP Information
It is possible to receive the IP address of the GSM module via text message. The GSM module will then send a
text message to the specified phone number displaying the IP address of the GSM module. A valid user code
must be entered to receive the IP address. The IP address can be used to configure remote software. Consult
your installer for more information.
Example:C1234.IP.5555551234

Communicating by Phone
(Voice-Guided VDMP3)
You can communicate with your security system by phone by using a system accessory called the VDMP3
Voice Dialer (sold separately). The VDMP3 is a module that can be programmed to call one or more telephone
numbers in the event of an alarm. For example, when an alarm occurs at your store during off-hours, every
employee can receive notification via telephone: (sample message) “Area 1 in alarm. Zone 3. Press 1 to disarm
the system...”
You can also call the VDMP3 from an outside line, enabling you to arm or disarm the system as well as activate
PGMs. The VDMP3 essentially turns any outside telephone into a keypa d. For example, you unexpectedly have
to extend a business trip, and for security reasons, would like to turn on your office’s lighting. Simply use your
phone to toggle the lights on and off. Consult your installer for more information.
VDMP3 Instructions
How do I call the VDMP3?
1 From an outside line, dial the telephone number to which the VDMP3 is associated.
NOTE: If the telephone number that is associated with the VDMP3 has an answering machine, hang up the
telephone when the line rings, and dial the telephone number again within the time limit set by your
installer.
2 When the VDMP3 answers the line, you are prompted to enter your user code.
3 System status is given, as well as options to arm/disarm (1) and control features (PGMs) (2).
NOTE: If you hang up while in communication with the VDMP3, you must wait 2 minutes before connecting
again. To avoid having to wait, press “#” to disconnect from the VDMP3 before hanging up.
Refer to the following page for a diagram that details how to use the VDMP3.

Advanced System Features
Programmable Outputs (PGMs)
Your system may include one or more PGMs. When a specific event or condition occurs in the system, The
PGM can be used to reset smoke detectors, activate light switches in your home or office, open/close garage
doors and much more. If programmed by your installer, you can press and hold keys [1] & [2], [2] & [3], [4] &
[5], [5] & [6], [7] & [8], or [8] & [9] for each respective PGM. Press and hold [
seconds to perform a smoke reset. These features must be set by your installer.
Partitioning
Your system is equipped with a partitioning feature that can divide your alarm system into two distinct areas
identified as Partition 1 and Partition 2. 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.
NOTE: If the system is not partitioned, all zones, user codes, and features will be recognized as belonging to
Partition 1. Partitioning is not available when using a K636 keypad.
