1686EU04.fm Page 5 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM 1.0 INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the Spectra Security System from Paradox Security Systems. The Spectra Security System will give you peace of mind by providing reliable security protection. Although, it can do much more than that. The Spectra System can realize your dreams of home automation such as controlling garage doors, lights, heating, temperature and much more.
1686EU04.fm Page 6 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM 2.0 BASIC OPERATION Both the Spectra 1686H and 1686V LED Keypads function and display information the same way. The following sections provide you with an excellent introduction to the buttons and indicator lights on your keypad. Many of the features in your system must be enabled by the installer. If the feature is not programmed, the keypad will emit a “REJECTION BEEP” and the action will be cancelled. Refer to “System Checklist” in section 8.

1686EU04.fm Page 8 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM 2.2 KEYPAD INDICATOR LIGHTS All Spectra LED Keypads include colored lights which convey the current status of your system. As explained in Figure 2-1 the state of each light represents a specific condition in your system. 2.3 ZONE DISPLAY The numerical buttons on the 1686V/H Keypads are designed to communicate the status of the zones in your system. Each button corresponds to a zone in your system.
1686EU04.fm Page 9 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM 2.5 TROUBLE DISPLAY Your alarm system continuously monitors fourteen possible trouble conditions. Most of these trouble conditions can be reported directly to your security company. When a trouble condition occurs, [TBL] will illuminate. The keypad can be programmed to emit a “BEEP” every 5 seconds whenever a new trouble condition has occurred. Press the [TRBL] button to stop the “Trouble Beep”.

1686EU04.fm Page 13 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM 2.6 PARTITIONING Your Spectra system is equipped with a partitioning feature which can divide your 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 a home office or warehouse building.
1686EU04.fm Page 14 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM 3.0 PROGRAMMING ACCESS CODES Access Codes are personal identification numbers that allow you to enter certain programming modes, arm or disarm your system as well as activate or deactivate PGMs (see section 5.5).

1686EU04.fm Page 17 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM 4.0 ARMING & DISARMING Take full advantage of your Spectra system by familiarizing yourself with all the arming methods. If your system is not partitioned (section 2.6), the system considers everything as belonging to Partition 1 4.1 EXIT DELAY After entering a valid arming sequence, an Exit Delay Timer will provide you with enough time to exit the protected area before the system arms.
1686EU04.fm Page 18 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM How Do I Disarm the System? For a Stay or Instant Armed system, go to Step 2. 1) Enter through a designated entry point (i.e. front door). The keypad will “beep” during the Entry Delay. 2) Enter your [ACCESS CODE] After the “CONFIRMATION BEEP”, the “ARM” Light will turn off. IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO BOTH PARTITIONS (see section 2.6): 3) Buttons [1] and [2] will flash. Press the button corresponding to the desired partition.
1686EU04.fm Page 19 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM When you have correctly armed the system, the “ARM” Light corresponding to the armed partition will turn on and the Exit Delay (see section 4.1) will initiate. Please note that Regular Arming can also be activated using AutoArming (see section 4.9), a Keyswitch (see section 4.8), or One-Touch Arming (see section 4.7). 4.4 STAY ARMING This method allows you to remain in the protected area while partially arming the system.

1686EU04.fm Page 25 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM 4.9 AUTO-ARMING The Spectra alarm system can be programmed to automatically arm upon the following two conditions. 4.9.1 Timed Auto Arming The alarm system can automatically arm itself at a specified time everyday. As with Regular Arming (see section 4.3), the system will not arm if a zone is open. If this occurs, the system will not arm until the next day.
1686EU04.fm Page 26 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM 5.0 ADDITIONAL FEATURES Each keypad must be Chime Programmed and Muted separately. Keypad Muting must be re-programmed if your system suffers a total power loss. When you press and hold a button and the keypad emits a “CONFIRMATION BEEP”, the chime feature has been enabled for that zone or Keypad Muting has been enabled for that keypad. If the keypad emits a “REJECTION BEEP”, these features have been disabled. 5.
1686EU04.fm Page 27 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM 5.3 PANIC ALARMS In case of emergency, the Spectra system can provide three panic alarms that can immediately generate an alarm after simultaneously pressing and holding two specific buttons for two seconds. Based on your needs, these panic alarms can generate audible alarms (sirens or bells) or silent alarms, both of which can send a message to your Security Company.
1686EU04.fm Page 28 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM 5.5 PGM BUTTON (PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUTS) Your Spectra system may include one or more programmable outputs (PGMs). When a specific event or condition occurs in the system, the PGM can be used to reset smoke detectors, activate light switches in your home or office, open/close garage doors and much more. A PGM can also be programmed to activate whenever the [PG] button is pressed and held for 3 seconds. 5.
1686EU04.fm Page 29 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM 5.6.4 Cancel Communication [ENTER] + [MASTER CODE] + [STAY] Cancels all communication with the upload/download diagnostic software if it has been initiated. 5.7 KEYPAD BACKLIGHT The illumination level behind the keys can be modified to suit the user’s needs. There are four backlight levels. The [MEM] key is used to set the desired level. Each consecutive push of the [MEM] key will increase the backlight level until the maximum level is reached.
1686EU04.fm Page 30 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM 6.0 FIRE ALARMS Upon a fire alarm, the bell/siren will emit three “squawks” at 2 second intervals until silenced or reset by entering a valid access code. If the zone is a Delayed Fire Zone, there is a delay before the system contacts the Security Company. This will prevent unnecessary reporting of false alarms. If there is no fire condition, contact your Security Company immediately to avoid an unnecessary response.

1686EU04.fm Page 32 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM Minimizing Fire Hazards The three most common causes of fires: • Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S. It's also the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking fires often result from unattended cooking and human error, rather than mechanical failure of stoves or ovens. • Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths. Smoke detectors and smolder-resistant bedding and upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents.
1686EU04.fm Page 33 Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:01 AM Providing a Fire Warning System Household fires are especially dangerous at night. Fires produce smoke and deadly gases that can overcome occupants while they sleep. To warn against fire, smoke detectors should be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements. 7.
