status by phone, advising of detection of burglary, fire, flood or
any other situation programmed to generate a report condition.
Fully programmable over the telephone (no external keypad
required), the Paravox guides the end user through all system
functions with a full set of voice prompts. All the user needs to
remember is their P.I.N. The “Key Ahead” feature eliminates
the frustration and time wasted for experienced operators by
allowing them to key-in selections before a prompt ends.
1.3.10DIGITAL DETECTORS
The Paradox DigigardTM (50/60/70) digital motion detectors
can immediately identify the signal produced by a moving
human body and will not be triggered by any other occurrences
in the protected area. False alarms are virtually eliminated.
Using 100% digital detection technology and smart digital
processing software leaves no room for error. With the
Digigard 70, animal lovers can maximize their security
protection. Thanks to the unique design of the patent-pending
Digigard “pet-friendly” lens and dual “decision” optics, the
Digigard 70 double-checks every movement signal.
Take all that’s good about infrared digital detection, add an
advanced microwave “supervisor” and you have Digital Vision
motion detectors. Once the Vision’s digital infrared detector
identifies an intruder, its microwave sensor must confirm the
presence of movement before an alarm is triggered.

16.5VAC 40VA
2.4BACKUP BATTERY
In order to provide power during a power loss, connect a 12VDC 4Ah rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell backup
battery as shown in Figure 2.1 on page 7. 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. Also, refer to Battery Charge Current on page 43.
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
keypads’ Trouble Display (see page 50). This trouble will also appear if the battery’s capacity is too low or
if the voltage drops to 10.5 volts or lower while the control panel is running on the backup battery. At 8.5
volts or lower, the panel shuts down and all outputs close.
2.5AUXILIARY 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 keypads’ Trouble Display (see page 50). 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.
Modules with the APR- prefix are compatible with Spectra (versions 2.0 and higher) and Digiplex. Modules
with the APR3- prefix are compatible with Spectra( versions 2.0 and higher), Digiplex and DigiplexNE.

2.6TELEPHONE LINE CONNECTION
In order to report system events to the central 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 Figure 2.1 on page 7.
2.7BELL OUTPUT CONNECTION
The BELL+ and BELL- terminals 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 keypads’ Trouble Display (see page 50) 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 BELL- terminal of the control panel as shown in Figure 2.1 on page 7.
If the BELL output is not being used, the Bell Disconnected failure will remain in the keypads’ Trouble
Display (see page 50). To avoid this connect a 1KΩ resistor across the BELL terminals.
2.8PROGRAMMABLE 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.
2.8.1PGM FOR 1728EX AND 1728
The Spectra 1728/EX control panels include one on-board programmable output (PGM).
PGM1 provides a maximum 150mA output. If the current draw on the PGM is to exceed
the current output, we recommend the use of a relay as shown in Figure 2-2. For details
on how to program the PGM, refer to PGM Programming on page 41.
Figure 2.3: PGM
2.8.2ALARM RELAYAND PGMSFOR 1738EX AND 1738
The Spectra 1738/EX control panels include two on-board programmable outputs
(PGMs). PGM1 and PGM2 provide up to 1A and PGM2 can be used as a strobe output
(see page 42). The PGMs are limited by the power source being used. If powered by the
BELL+ terminal, the combined current consumption of the bell output and PGM must not
exceed 1A. If it is powered by the
supply and PGM must not exceed 1.1A. If it is powered by an external device, PGMs can supply 1A. If the current
draw on the PGM is to exceed the current output, we recommend using a relay (see Figure 2.4). For details on how
to program the PGM, refer to PGM Programming on page 41.
The Spectra 1738/EX control panels also have an optional 5A relay. This relay can be connected as shown in Figure
2.4. The Alarm Relay can be programmed to follow the bell output or the activation and deactivation of the Global
PGM (see Alarm Relay Options on page 42).

2.9SINGLE ZONE INPUTS
Detection devices such as motion detectors and door contacts are connected to the control panel's zone input
terminals. Figure 2.5 on page 11 demonstrates single zone input terminal connections recognized by Spectra. Once
connected, the associated zone's parameters must be defined. For details refer to Zone Programming on page 19.
Figure 2.5: Single Zone Input Connections
2.10DOUBLE ZONE INPUTS (WITH ATZ OPTION ONLY)
Enabling the ATZ feature (see page 25) on the Spectra 1728 or 1738 allows you to install two detection devices per
input terminal. The ATZ feature is a software oriented feature. Therefore, there is no need for extra modules. Simply
connect the devices as shown in Figure 2.6. Devices connected to input terminals must be assigned to a zone and
the zone's parameters must be defined. Refer to Zone Programming on page 19 for more information. The status of
each zone will be displayed on the keypads and the control panel can send separate alarm codes for each zone.
SPECTRA SERIES11
Figure 2.6: Double Zone (ATZ) Input Connections
2.11KEYPAD AND KEYPAD ZONE CONNECTIONS
To connect the keypads to the control panel, remove the back cover and wire the GRN, YEL, RED, and BLK
terminals of each keypad to the corresponding terminals on the control panel as shown in Figure 2.1 on page 7 or
Figure 2.2 on page 8. There is no limit to the number of keypads that can be connected to the control panel so long
as the current consumption does not surpass 700mA. For details on Keypad Tamper Supervision see section 10.8
on page 44.
Each keypad has one zone input terminal, allowing you to connect one motion detector or door contact directly to a
keypad. The keypad can then communicate the status of the zone to the control panel. A maximum of two keypad
zones can be used with each control panel. After connecting the device, the zone's parameters must be defined. For
details on zone recognition and Zone Programming refer to page 19. Also, refer to the feature Reassign KeypadZone 2 on page 19.
Example: A door contact located at the entry point of an establishment can be wired directly to the input terminal of
the entry point keypad instead of wiring the door contact all the way to the control panel.

2.12KEYSWITCH CONNECTIONS
Fi
h
Keyswitches allow users to arm or disarm a partition by pushing a button or by
activating a switch with a key. Connect the keyswitch as shown in Figure 2.8
directly to the control panel terminals. Once a keyswitch is connected, it must be
assigned to a zone and its parameters must be programmed (see ZoneProgramming on page 19 and Keyswitch Options on page 25).
2.13FIRE 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
keypads’ Trouble Display (see page 50) and the control panel can transmit the FireLoop Trouble report, if programmed, in section [206].
2.13.14-WIRE INSTALLATION:
Any on-board zone can be defined as a Fire Zone (see page 21) when
using the 4-wire installation. Connect the smoke detectors as shown in
Figure 2.9 directly to the control panel terminals. Program the PGM with the
“[
PG]/[FNC1] Key was Pressed” Activation Event (see page 41) so the
smoke detectors can be reset by pressing the [

3.3.2CONFIGURINGTHE 1686H, 1686V AND 1689 KEYPADSPRIORTO V2.0
The keypad’s zone number and EOL definition are defined through the jumpers located on the PCB board.
The jumpers are as follows:
J1 - Keypad Zone Select Jumper
Jumper J1 determines whether the keypad’s zone is Keypad Zone 1 or Keypad Zone 2. When the jumper
is OFF, the keypad’s zone is Keypad Zone 2. When the jumper is ON, the keypad’s zone is Keypad Zone 1.
J1 OFF - Keypad Zone 2
J1 ON - Keypad Zone 1
SPECTRA SERIES15
J2 - EOL Definition Jumper
Jumper J2 determines the keypad zone’s EOL definition. When the jumper is OFF, EOL is disabled and the
keypad zone uses the on-board EOL resistor. When the jumper is ON, EOL is enabled and the keypad zone
requires that an external EOL resistor be connected (refer to Spectra 1738EX and 1738 Control PanelOverview on page 7 and Spectra 1728EX and 1728 Control Panel Overview on page 8 for more details).
J2 OFF - EOL disabled
J2 ON - EOL enabled

PART 4: ACCESS CODES
The Spectra Series control panels support the following access codes:
INSTALLER CODE:Used to program all control panel settings except User Access Codes.
SYSTEM MASTER CODE (001)Provides full access. Arm and disarm using any method described in the User Code
Options in section 4.4 as well as program the User Access Codes.
Master Code 1 (002):Permanently assigned to partition 1. Same as a regular User Code except it can
also program access codes for User Codes assigned to partition 1.
Master Code 2 (003):Permanently assigned to partition 2. Same as a regular User Code except it can
program access codes for User Codes assigned to partition 2. If the system is not
partitioned Master Code 002 will be assigned to partition 1.
45 User Codes (004 to 048): Can arm and disarm as per User Code Options in section 4.4.
All access codes can be set to lengths of either 4- or 6-digits. When the 4-digit option is selected, entering a 4-digit
code will allow access. Using the 6-digit option, entering 6 digits is required to allow access.
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.
4.2INSTALLER CODE (Default: 000000 OR 0000)
The Installer Code is used to enter the control panel's programming mode (see page 13), which allows you to
program all the features, options and commands of the control panel. The Installer Code can be 4- or 6-digits in
length (see above) where each digit can be any value from 0 to 9. The Installer Code cannot be used to programMaster Code 1, Master Code 2 or User Access Codes. To program the Installer Code press:
[
ENTER] + [CURRENTINSTALLERCODE] + [281] + new 4- or 6-digit Installer Code
4.3SYSTEM MASTER CODE (Default: 123456 OR 1234)
The Installer Code can be used to program the System Master Code. With the System Master Code a user can use
any arming method and can program any User Access Code, but not the User Code Options. The System Master
Code can be 4 or 6 digits in length (see section 4.1), where each digit can be any digit from 0 to 9. To change the
System Master Code press:
[
ENTER] + [INSTALLERCODE] + [301] + new 4- or 6-digit System Master Code
4.4USER CODE OPTIONS
Sections [302] to [348]: Options [1] to [7]
The User Code Options define which arming methods each user can use to arm or disarm the system. Regardless
of these settings, all users can Regular Arm assigned partitions and all users except those with the Arm Only option
can disarm an assigned partition, regardless of how it is armed. Select one or more of the options described on the
following pages for each User Access Code, where sections [302] to [348] represent User Access Codes 002 to
048. For information on how User Access Codes are programmed, please refer to page 51.
4.4.1PARTITION 1 ASSIGNMENT
Sections [302] to [348]: User Codes 002 to 048
Option [1] OFF = Deny access to partition 1
Option [1] ON= User code has access to partition 1 (default)
If Partitioned (see page 43), user codes with this option enabled can arm and disarm partition 1.
If the system is not partitioned, you must assign partition 1 to the User Access Code.
Otherwise, the User Access Code will be considered disabled.
4.4.2PARTITION 2 ASSIGNMENT
Sections [302] to [348]: User Codes 002 to 048
Option [2] OFF = Deny access to partition 2 (default)
Option [2] ON= User code has access to partition 2
If the system is partitioned (see page 43), user codes with this option enabled can arm and disarm partition
2. If the system is not partitioned, the control panel ignores this option.

4.4.6ARM ONLY
Sections [302] to [348]: User Codes 002 to 048
Option [6] OFF = Arm Only Disabled (default)
Option [6] ON= Arm Only Enabled for selected User Code
The user code with this option enabled can arm assigned partitions, but cannot disarm any partitions. The
type of arming is dependent on the other User Code Options selected. Please note that with the Arm Only
option, the user can cancel a recently armed system by re-entering the access code before the end of the
Exit Delay.
4.4.7PGM ACTIVATION
Sections [302] to [348]: User Codes 002 to 048
Option
Option [7] ON= User Code can activate a PGM only
With option [7] off, entering the access code will arm or disarm according to the programmed User CodeOptions as well as activate or deactivate a PGM. The appropriate PGM Activation/Deactivation Event must
also be programmed (see page 41). With option [7] on, the control panel will ignore all other User CodeOptions. Therefore, entering the access code will only activate or deactivate the PGM.
[7]
OFF = User Code follows User Code Options and can activate a PGM (default)
4.5LOCK MASTER CODE
Section [127]: System Options
Option [4] OFF = Lock System Master Code Disabled (default)
Option [4] ON= Lock System Master Code Enabled
With this feature enabled, the control panel will lock the System Master Code (001). This means that the SystemMaster Code cannot be deleted, but it can be changed.
4.6DURESS CODE
Section [127] = System Options
Option [6] OFF = Duress Code Disabled (default)
Option [6] ON= User Code 048 becomes a Duress code
With this feature enabled, User Code 048 becomes a Duress Code. When forced to arm or disarm their system,
users can enter a Duress Code (User Code 048) to arm or disarm the system which can immediately transmit a
silent alert to the Central Station, transmitting the duress report code programmed in section [196].
