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. Consult your installer to take full advantage of your Spectra system's capabilities. This advanced technology security system provides you with reliable security protection and powerful features that anyone can use without memorizing complex and confusing codes. The system consists of the Spectra Control Panel, one or more Spectra Keypads, various input devices (i.e. motion detectors, door contacts, etc.) and various output devices (i.e. bells, sirens, lights, etc.). The elegant and user-friendly Spectra 1689 LED Keypad and 1641 LCD Keypads allow you to easily access your security system's functions and provide you with an easy-tounderstand display of your security system's alarm and operational status. All the actions performed in your security system will be executed and displayed through the keypad. Therefore, before using your security system, we highly recommend you read this manual carefully and have your installer explain basic system operation to you. Spectra Keypads 3 2.0 BASIC OPERATION The Spectra 1689 LED and 1641 LCD Keypads function in the same way, but display the visual feedback differently. This section will provide an overview of the keypads. 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 8.0 for details. 2.1 KEYPAD INDICATOR LIGHTS The state of each light on the Spectra Keypads represents a specific condition in your system as shown in Figure 2.1. Figure 2.1: Overview of Indicator Lights "AC" LIGHT: ON = AC power is present OFF = Power failure "STATUS" LIGHT: When Green: ON = All zones closed = Zone(s) open OFF FLASH = During Exit Delay When Red (LCD keypads only): ON =S ystem Armed SLOW FLASH = Stay Armed FAST FLASH = Alarm 4 User's Manual 2.2 VISUAL FEEDBACK 2.2.1 For the Spectra 1689 LED Keypad The numbers and symbols on the keypad's screen communicate your system's status as shown in Figure 2.2. Figure 2.2: Overview of the 1689 LED Keypad Spectra Keypads 5 2.2.2 For the Spectra 1641 LCD Keypad The LCD (liquid crystal display) is a 32-character screen that displays messages that can be customized to your needs. Figure 2.3: Overview of the 1641 LCD Keypad 2.3 AUDITORY FEEDBACK When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide you with beep tones. You should be familiar with these: Confirmation Beep: When an operation (i.e. arming/ disarming) is successfully entered on the keypad or when the system switches to a new status/mode, the keypad produces an intermittent beep tone ("BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP"). Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to previous status or when an operation is incorrectly entered on the keypad, it will emit a continuous beep tone ("BEEEEEEEEP"). 6 User's Manual 2.4 ALARM MEMORY DISPLAY All zones where alarms have occurred will be stored in memory. The system will erase the contents of the Alarm Memory every time the system is armed. For Spectra 1689 LED Keypad: If an alarm has occurred on a zone, the [MEM] symbol will illuminate. After disarming the system, press the [MEM] button to illuminate the number symbols corresponding to the zones that were in alarm. To exit the Alarm Memory Display, press the [CLEAR] button. For Spectra 1641 LCD Keypad: If an alarm has occurred on a zone, "Zone(s) in Memory [MEM] to view" will appear on the LCD screen. After disarming the system, press the [MEM] button.

[2] Wireless Transmitter Battery Low The battery voltage in one or more Wireless Transmitters is getting low. Also, the device's yellow light will flash. 10 User's Manual [3] Power Failure The system has detected a loss of AC power. This trouble usually occurs during a power failure. If a power failure is not occurring in your establishment and this trouble appears, contact your Security Company for service. [4] Bell/PGM2 Disconnected Trouble Any device connected to the Bell or PGM2 output is no longer connected to your alarm system. [5] Bell Current Failure During an alarm, the bell output, which uses a fuseless circuit, will automatically shut down if the current exceeds a predetermined value. When the system is disarmed, the current is cut from the bell output and the Trouble warning may extinguish, but the Trouble may re-occur during the next alarm if the situation is not corrected. [6] Auxiliary Current Failure The auxiliary output, which supplies power to your alarm system's accessories, uses a fuseless circuit to protect the power supply against current overload and automatically shuts down if the current exceeds a predetermined value. [7] Communication Failure Your alarm system, if monitored, could not communicate with the Security Company. Spectra Keypads 11 [8] Timer Loss Your alarm system's clock must be re-programmed. This is the only trouble that we recommend that you correct. To re-program the clock press the [8] button after Step 2 from the Trouble Display (see "How Do I Access the Trouble Display?" at the beginning of section 2.6) and enter the current time using the 24-hour clock (i.e. 8:30PM = 20:30).

[12] Module Loss A module is no longer communicating with your system. 12 User's Manual [13] Wireless Transmitter Supervision Loss A wireless transmitter is no longer communicating with its receiver or its batteries are disconnected.. To view on which zones the Wireless Transmitters are experiencing trouble, press the [MEM] button after Step 2 from the Trouble Display (see "How Do I Access the Trouble Display?" at the beginning of section 2.6). [16] Keypad Fault If for any reason your keypad is no longer communicating with your alarm system, the keypad will emit four consecutive beeps at 3-second intervals. Press any button on the keypad to terminate the "beeping" sequence. When communication is restored, the keypad will resume its functions. 2.7 PARTITIONING Your Spectra system is equipped with a partitioning feature that 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. When partitioned, each zone, each User Code and many of your system's features can be assigned to either Partition 1, Partition 2, or both partitions. If the system is not partitioned, all zones, User Codes, and features will be recognized as belonging to Partition 1. Spectra Keypads 13 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. The Spectra security system supports the following: 1 System Master Code 2 Master Codes 45 User Access Codes (including 1 Duress code) For information on how each Access Code can arm or disarm the system refer to the System Checklist in section 8.0. 3.1 SYSTEM MASTER CODE (Default: 123456) The System Master Code can arm or disarm any partition using any of the methods described in this section and can create, modify or delete any User Access Code (see section 3.4). 3.2 MASTER CODES Master Code 1 is permanently assigned to Partition 1 and can be used to create, modify or delete User Access Codes (see section 3.4) that are assigned to Partition 1. Master Code 2 is permanently assigned to Partition 2 (except when partitioning is disabled, Master Code 2 will be assigned to Partition 1) and can be used to create, modify or delete 14 User's Manual User Access Codes (see section 3.4) that are assigned to the same partition. Master Codes cannot modify or delete User Access Codes assigned to both partitions. Only the System Master Code can modify or delete User Access Codes assigned to both partitions. 3.3 DURESS CODE If you are forced to arm or disarm your system, entering the Access Code assigned to User 048 will arm or disarm the system and immediately transmit a silent alert (Duress Code) to the Security Company. 3.4 PROGRAMMING ACCESS CODES Your system can use either 4- or 6-digit Access Codes (see page 39), where each digit can be any value from 0 to 9. Sixdigit codes are considered more difficult to "crack" and therefore, more secure. Avoid programming simple or obvious access codes, such as your telephone number, address or codes such as 1234. Spectra Keypads 15 How Do I Program Access Codes? 1) Press [ENTER] 2) Enter your [MASTER CODE] 3) Enter 3-digit [SECTION] (see Table 1) 4) Enter a new 4- or 6-digit [ACCESS CODE] 5) Press [CLEAR] to exit How Do I Delete Access Codes? 1) Repeat steps 1 to 3 (see above) 2) Press the [FORCE] button once for each digit in the Access Code (4 or 6 times) until the keypad emits a "CONFIRMATION BEEP" then press the [CLEAR] button to exit. For Spectra 1689 LED Keypad also refer to Appendix A. Table 1: User Code Sections Section [001] [002] [003] [004] to [047] [048] User Codes User Code 001 = System Master Code User Code 002 = Master Code 1 User Code 003 = Master Code 2 User Code 004 to User Code 047 User Code 048 or Duress Code 16 User's Manual 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 2.7), everything is considered 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. The keypad may beep during the Exit Delay. 4.2 DISARMING & DEACTIVATING AN ALARM To disarm an armed system or an alarm, enter your access code. An entry point, like the front door, will be programmed with one of two Entry Delay Timers. When an entry point is opened, the keypad will beep until you disarm the system. Your alarm system will not generate an alarm until this timer elapses. Any user can disarm a partition they have been assigned to, except users assigned with the Arm Only Option. To disarm alarms generated by a Delayed Fire Zone, please refer to section 6.0.. How Do I Deactivate an Alarm? Enter your [ACCESS CODE] Spectra Keypads 17 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). 2) Enter your [ACCESS CODE] IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO BOTH PARTITIONS (see section 2.7): 3) Press the button corresponding to the desired partition, [1] or [2]. For both partitions, press the other button after the confirmation beep. 4.3 REGULAR ARMING This method will arm all the zones in the selected partition. How Do I Regular Arm? 1) Close all zones in the desired partition. 2) Enter your [ACCESS CODE] IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO BOTH PARTITIONS (see section 2.7): 3) Press the button corresponding to the desired partition, [1] or [2].
