SpectraLink 1728, 1738, 1738EX PART 3: PROGRAMMING METHODS

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 page19 and Keyswitch Options on page 25).

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 page50) and the control panel can transmit the Fire

Loop Trouble report, if programmed, in section [206].

Any on-board zone can be defined as a Fire Zone (see page21) 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

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.

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.

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.

How Do I Enter Programming Mode?

STEP 1: Press [ENTER]

STEP 2: Enter your [INSTALLER CODE] (default: 000000 or 0000)

STEP 3: Enter 3-digit [SECTION] you wish to program

STEP 4: Enter required [DATA]
