SPECTRA SERIES 13
2.12 KEYSWITCH CONNECTIONS
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 Zone
Programming on page 19 and Keyswitch Options on page 25).
2.13 FIRE 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 Fire
Loop Trouble report, if programmed, in section [206].
2.13.1 4-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 [
PG] or [FNC1] key. Pressing
the [
PG] or [FNC1] key will interrupt power to the smoke detectors for 4
seconds (see PGM Delay on page 42).
PART 3: PROGRAMMING METHODS
3.1 WINLOAD SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS
Program the Spectra Series control panels remotely or on-site using the Winload Software for Windows®. For more
information, contact your local Paradox Distributor or visit our web site at http://www.paradox.ca. If you are using the
WinLoad software, you must program the features explained on pages 48 and 49.
3.2 PROGRAMMING USING A KEYPAD
Use the supplied Spectra 1728EX, 1728, 1738EX and 1738 Programming Guide to keep track of which sections
were programmed and how. We recommend you read this entire manual before you begin programming.
3.2.1 SINGLE DIGIT DATA ENTRY METHOD (HEXADECIMAL AND DECIMAL)
Single Digit Data Entry is used in all sections except those specified in the Feature Select Programming
Method. 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 as well as in the
Spectra 1728EX, 1728, 1738EX and 1738 Programming Guide. When entering the final digit in a section,
the control panel will automatically save and advance to the next section. Except sections 001 to 016, after
entering the first two digits the control panel will switch to Feature Select Programming.
