PART 10: SYSTEM SETTINGS
10.1 HARDWARE RESET
Performing a hardware reset will set all control panel settings to factory default except for the Panel ID and PC
Password. Also, the event buffer will not be erased. To perform a power down reset:
1) Make sure the Installer Lock is disabled (see below)
2) Remove battery and AC power from the control panel.
3) Set the
RESET jumper to on by placing a jumper on the RESET pins of the control panel.
4) Re-connect AC and battery power to the control panel.
5) Wait 10 seconds and remove the jumper.
10.2 INSTALLER LOCK
Section [282]
000 = Disabled, 147 = Lock Enabled, Default = Disabled
Program 147 into section [282] to lock all programming. Performing a hardware reset will not affect the current panel
settings. To remove the Installer Lock, enter 000. Please note that four seconds after resetting the control panel the
STATUS LED on the control panel will flash fast for 5 seconds to indicate that the installer lock is enabled.
10.3 KEYPAD LOCKOUT FEATURE
Sections [092] and [093]
If a consecutive number of invalid codes are entered into a keypad, the control panel can be set to deny access from
all keypads for a specified period and send the report code programmed in section [196]. Program the number of
consecutive invalid codes from 001 to 255 (000 = disabled) into section [092]. Program the duration of the Keypad
Lockout from 001 to 255 minutes into section [093]. If 000 is programmed in section [093], the keypads will not be
locked-out, but the report code programmed in section [196] will be sent.
10.4 BATTERY CHARGE CURRENT
Section [127]: General Options
Option [5] OFF = Battery Charge Current: 350mA (default)
Option [5] ON = Battery Charge Current: 700mA (40VA transformer required)
10.5 PARTITIONING
Section [127]: General Options
Option [1] OFF = Partitioning Disabled (default)
Option [1] ON = Partitioning Enabled
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 (see User
Code Options on page 17) and some of the system's features can be assigned to Partition 1, Partition 2 or both (see
Zone Partition Assignment on page 23). If the system is not partitioned, all User Codes and features will be
recognized as belonging to Partition 1.
• Users can only arm 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 disarms.
• The following features can be programmed separately for each partition: Entry/Exit Delay Timer, Auto-Arming Options,
Bell Cut-Off Timer, Switch to Stay Arming, PGM Events and Account Numbers.
If the system is not partitioned, all zones, User Codes, and features will be recognized as belonging to
partition 1. Zones that have been manually assigned to partition 2 will no longer function.
