Paradox Esprit 727 Installation Instructions Manual

BASIC INSTALLATION

Be sure to select a control panel installation site that is not easily
accessible to intruders. Leave at least 2" around the panel box to permit
adequate ventilation/heat dissipation. The installation location should
be dry, in close proximity to an AC source and a ground connection.
The printed circuit board, mounting hardware and keypad should be
removed from the packaging inside panel box. Press the four white
nylon mounting studs into cabinet from the back prior to mounting
the cabinet. Before mounting the circuit board on the back of the
cabinet, pull all cables into cabinet and prepare them for connection.
Then attach circuit board to mounting studs. Connect all zones with
the 1KOHM EOL resistors supplied, including keypad zone 8.

Panel Hook-up Procedures

All panel wiring must be completed before connecting transformer or
battery. Install keypads and connect wires to keypad terminals on
panel. Bell or siren should be connected to "Bell+" and "Bell-" terminals.
Ensure correct polarity connection of sirens and polarized bells.

TERMINAL CONNECTIONS

AC Terminals

Use a 16VAC transformer with a minimum 40VA rating to provide
sufficient AC power. Do not utilize any switch-controlled outlets to
power the transformer.

Siren/Bell Terminals (Bell +, Bell -)

Bells or other warning devices requiring a steady voltage output
during alarms are powered by the bell relay and the bell output
(fused at 3A). Connect the positive lead to the "Bell+" terminal and
the negative lead to relay input "NO" or "NC". Also connect a wire
between Relay C terminal and "Aux-" terminal.

Auxiliary Power Terminals

Motion detectors and other security devices requiring 12VDC voltage
can be powered by the auxiliary power supply. A maximum of
400mA 12VDC is available from the AUX+ and AUX- terminals when
only one keypad is used with the Esprit. For each additional keypad
the auxiliary supply must be reduced by 20mA. The auxiliary supply
is fused at 1 amp.

Keypad Terminal (RED, BLACK, YELLOW, GREEN)

Each keypad has connectors for four colored leads; red, black,
yellow and green. Connect the lead to the corresponding colour input
terminal on the control panel and the keypad. Mount keypads near
entry/exit doors to shorten entry/exit delay intervals. If keypad zone 8
is to be used, connect it to the keypad with a 1KOHM EOL resistor. If
not, connect a 1KOHM EOL resistor in parallel to zone terminals on
keypad. Up to 5 keypads can be connected in parallel.
Please note: The keypad zone can be connected on all keypads
installed. However, any open keypad zones will always be indicated
as zone 8 on every keypad display. However, when keypad zone
supervision is enabled, only the zone that is supervised indicates a
zone 8 on every keypad. The keypad zone is always a delay zone.

Zone Input Terminals (z1 to z6, fire zone 7, keypad zone 8)

Zone terminals are the loop inputs for 6 fully-programmable zones.
Connect normally closed detectors or contacts to each zone and

jumper any unused loops with the EOL resistors supplied. An open
contact across the resistor or reduced loop resistance in fire zone 7
will engage a pulse bell/siren.

POWERING UP THE UNIT

When keypads are installed far from the control panel, we
recommend that you temporarily connect a keypad close to the
panel to conduct "power-up" testing. If key switches are being
installed, a keypad must be used to conduct programming.
Connect the transformer. After 5 seconds, you can begin testing the
unit. Enter random commands on the keypad. It should "beep" in
response to these commands.
Open a zone (except a keypad zone) to ensure that keypad and
panel are responding to signals. If the keypad does not respond and
if no indicator lights illuminate check for AC voltage at the "AC"
terminals. If 16VAC is flowing, then keypad wiring should be verified,
as well as the keypad/aux. supply fuse. If this fuse has blown, check
for a short between black and red keypad wires before replacing it.

Battery Hook-up

Warning: Never connect the transformer or the battery until all wiring
has been completed. Use a 12VDC, 6.5 AH gel cell
battery. The red battery lead should be connected to the positive
battery terminal, and the black battery lead to the negative battery
terminal. Reversed connections will blow the battery fuse. The
battery should not be connected until AC connections to the panel
have been made. A "trouble" key indicator will illuminate on the
keypad if AC power is turned off and battery is connected.

SYSTEM STATUS COMMUNICATION:

Every time a key is pressed, it illuminates and the keypad beeps to
show an entry has been recognized. There are two types of beep
tones which communicate information regarding keypad entries to
the system user.
" " beep:
CONFIRMATION
If an operation (ie. arming/disarming, programming) is correctly
entered on the keypad, or the system switches to a new
status/mode, the sounder emits an intermittent beep tone.
" / " beep:
END REJECTION
If the system reverts to previous status, or an operation is incorrectly
entered on the keypad, sounder emits a continuous beep tone.

PROGRAMMING THE ESPRIT 727

Esprit system programming is performed from the keypad. The
system contains programmable memory (EEPROM) which does not
erase, even after total battery and AC loss. System automatically
reverts to "pre-power failure" status once battery/AC power are
restored. Please note: If system was "armed" prior to AC/battery
failure, it reverts to "armed" status approx. 2 minutes after power is
restored, to allow motion detectors sufficient time to warm up.
All programming pertaining to panel operation is stored in EEPROM
sector which can only be accessed by entering the system installer
code. With the exception of the factory-set installer code 0000 and
