INTRODUCTION The PARAKEY is a wireless remote control system that consists of a receiving module and up to eight 2 or 4-button remote controls (transmitters). When used in conjunction with any Paradox Esprit Series Control Panel, remote controls can perform actions such as remote arming and disarming, communicating panic alarms and/or activating programmable outputs (PGMs). Each remote control is assigned to a specific user and therefore, identifies the user to the control panel when used.
INSTALLATION 2.1 Location & Mounting We recommend installing the receiver in a centralized location on the main floor. Avoid installing the receiver in the basement. Although, if desired, it can be installed in proximity of the control panel. When selecting an installation site please take into consideration that the maximum reception distance of the receiver is approximately 54 meters (175 feet) line of sight. The circuit is static sensitive, thus take great care during handling.
2.4 Antenna 2.6 Hand-Held Remote Control Firmly screw the vertical and horizontal antennas to the corresponding "ANT" connections on the Receiving Module as shown in figure 3 or 4. Use of the horizontal antenna is optional, but is recommended for best results. There are two types of hand-held PARAKEY remote controls. There is a 2-button RF transmitter and a 4button RF transmitter. Each button can perform different actions depending on how the system is programmed.
2.7 System Reset Performing a system reset will set the Parakey to default settings. Please note that if connected to a control panel, the reset sequence of the Parakey will not cause the control panel to reset and vice versa. To execute a system reset perform the following: 1) Remove the power connections ("+12" & "GND") from the receiver. 2) Press and hold the “PROG” button and re-connect the power connections to the receiver. 3) Wait approximately 2 seconds and release the “PROG“ button.
HOW TO PROGRAM Press the [CLEAR] key at any time to revert to the preceding step, unless entering data, in which case you will remain in the section and the current data entry will be erased. 3.1.1 Step 1 - Enter the Programming Mode When in "Normal Mode", the red LED on the Parakey Receiver flashes on and off at 2-second intervals. To enter the Programming Mode, press the "PROG" button located on the Parakey Receiver.
required data is entered, the keypad will emit a confirmation beep and the Parakey will automatically save and exit the section. If you make a mistake, pressing [CLEAR] when entering data will erase the current entry. Return to step 3 or press [CLEAR] to exit Programming Mode. • Sections [09] to [16] RF Programming - Press the [ENTER] key and press button 1 twice on the remote control to assign remote control to corresponding user.
programmed User Access Code must be the same as a User Access Code programmed in the Paradox Esprit Series Control Panel. If no access code is programmed, only the programmed PGMs will be activated. The User Access Codes can be 4 or 6 digits in length (see section 4.1) with each digit being any value from 0 to 9. Program the User Access Code into the section corresponding to the desired user, where sections [01] to [08] represent users 1 through 8 respectively (figure 5).
4.3.3 Remote Control Options Sections [17] to [24] - Feature Select: [1] to [8] As described in figure 5, sections [17] to [24] correspond to users 1 through 8 respectively. By turning keys [1] to [8] on or off, set the desired remote control options as described below and press [ENTER]. Each key from [4] to [7] represents buttons 1 through 4 respectively. When the key is enabled, pressing the corresponding button will activate (toggle) any PGMs defined by the Button PGM Options (section 4.7).
Section [25] Key [0] ON = No output on panic alarm Key [1] ON = Toggle output 1 on panic alarm Key [2] ON = Toggle output 2 on panic alarm Key [3] ON = Toggle output 3 on panic alarm (default) Key [4] ON = Toggle output 4 on panic alarm 4.5 Panic Lockout Timer Section [26] - Decimal Select: [0] to [4] When a remote control-activated panic alarm is generated (see section 4.3.3), the Parakey can ignore any incoming RF signals for a specified period.
4.8 Panic Option Section [35] - Feature Select: [2] When a remote control-activated panic alarm is generated (see section 4.3.3), the Parakey can perform one of two actions: Key [2] OFF = Panics generated from the remote control will only toggle the enabled PGM output (see section 4.4). Key [2] ON = Panics generated from the remote control will toggle any enabled PGM outputs (see section 4.4) and sends the Panic command to the control panel generating a Panic alarm on the control panel.
