SPECTRA SERIES 25
5.8.6 DELAY BEFORE ALARM REPORT CODE TRANSMISSION
Sections [001] to [016]: Zones 1 to 16
Option [7] OFF = Delay Alarm Transmission Disabled (default)
Option [7] ON = Delay Alarm Transmission Enabled for Selected Zone
When an alarm condition occurs on a zone with this option enabled, the control panel enables the bell/
siren output, but does not report the alarm to the central station until the end of the Alarm Before
Transmission Delay. To program the Alarm Transmission Delay, key in the desired 3-digit delay value (000
= Disabled, 001 to 255 seconds) into section [080]. During this period, disarming the system disables the
bell/siren output and cancels the report code transmission. This feature is commonly used with Entry Delay
zones to reduce false alarms created by new users who may not disarm the system in time.
5.8.7 FORCE ZONES
Sections [001] to [016]: Zones 1 to 16
Option [8] OFF = Force Zone Disabled (default)
Option [8] ON = Selected Zone is Force Enabled
Any open Force Zones at the time of arming will be considered deactivated by the control panel (see
page 53). If during this period a deactivated zone is closed, the control panel will revert that zone to active
status. Consequently, the control panel will generate an alarm if the zone is breached.
Do not program a Fire Zone with the Force option, as the control panel will never bypass
Fire Zones when Force Arming.
5.8.8 KEYSWITCH OPTIONS
1728/EX: Sections [001] to [004]: Option [1] and [2]
1738/EX: Sections [001] to [007]: Option [1] and [2]
When an on-board zone is programmed as a Keyswitch Zone (see section 5.6.1 on page 22), the control
panel will ignore any other Zone Option. The keyswitch can be programmed as a Maintained or Momentary
Keyswitch and to Regular or Stay Arm (see section 12.4 on page 52). A Maintained Keyswitch will arm the
system when it is set to the
ON position and will disarm when set to the OFF position. To arm with 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. Program the keyswitch with the following:
5.9 ZONE SPEED
Sections [050] to [065]: Zones 1 to 16
001 to 255 X 10ms, Default = 600ms
The Zone Speed defines how quickly the control panel will respond to an open zone. The control panel will not
display an open zone on the keypad or generate an alarm until the programmed Zone Speed has elapsed. All other
zone definitions and options do not come into effect until the Zone Speed has elapsed. This feature prevents any
momentary glitches from causing an alarm or unnecessary reporting.
If the ATZ feature is enabled (see section 5.11 below), do not set the Zone Speed to less than 50msec.
as this may cause false alarms.
5.10 EOL ZONES
Section [132]: Zone Options
Option [4] OFF = Zones do not use EOL resistors (default)
Option [4] ON = Zones require EOL resistors
If all detection devices connected to the control panel have input terminals that require 1KΩ end of line resistors,
enable option [4] in section [132]. For details on using EOL resistors, refer to Single Zone Inputs and Double Zone
Inputs (with ATZ Option only) on page 11.
5.11 ATZ - ZONE DOUBLING (1728 AND 1738 ONLY)
Section [132]: Zone Options
Option [5] OFF = Zone Doubling Disabled (default)
Option [5] ON = Zone Doubling Enabled
Option [1] OFF = Maintained (default) Option [2] OFF = Regular Arming (default)
Option [1] ON = Momentary Option [2] ON = Stay Arming
