Accessories & Keypads If you would like to obtain more information on the following keypads, security system accessories or other security products, please contact your local Paradox distributor or come and visit us at our web site http://www.paradox.ca ? Esprit 636/646 Keypads...
Installation INSTALLATION Location & Mounting Remove the printed circuit board, mounting hardware and keypad from the packaging inside the panel box. The circuit board should not be mounted into the back of the cabinet, until all cables are pulled into the cabinet and prepared for connection. Before mounting the cabinet, push the five white nylon-mounting studs into the back of the cabinet.
If AC is present, check the keypad wiring and verify there isn't a short between the "black" and "red" keypad wires. If the keypad does not respond, please contact your local Paradox Distributor. Telephone Line Connection Connect the incoming telephone company wires into the connections of the control panel.
Installation Bell/Siren Output The BELL+ and BELL- terminals power bells and/or other warning devices requiring a steady voltage output during an alarm. The bell output supplies 12VDC upon alarm and can support two 20-watt or two 30-watt sirens. The bell output is microprocessor-controlled and will automatically shut down if the current exceeds 3A.

Installation Example: A door contact located at the entry point of an establishment can be wired directly to the input terminal of the entry point keypad instead of wiring the door contact all the way to the control panel. If a keypad has the ATZ (zone doubling) feature, two detection devices can be connected to one input terminal.
Installation Once the keypad zones have been defined you must enable "Keypad Zone Supervision" (see section 7.13 & 7.14) in the control panel. Figures 8 and 9 demonstrate typical keypad zone input installations. Single Zone Input Terminal Connections The system hardware recognizes the following single zone input terminal connections. For more information on programming the options mentioned below refer to ZONE DEFINITIONS in section 7.

Installation tamper or wire fault detection, connect the detection devices and program the control panel as shown in figure 11. This setup will communicate an open or closed zone to the control panel, displaying open zones on the keypad. Do not use devices with normally open contacts in this setup, as this will cause the control panel to remain in alarm.
Installation 2.10 Advanced Technology Zone (ATZ) Connections This feature is not available on the 748 EXPRESS control panel. Enabling the ATZ feature (see section 7.2) allows you install two detection devices per input terminal, therefore, doubling zone capacity of the control panel. Advanced Technology Zoning is a software-oriented feature, there is no need for extra modules, simply install the devices as shown in figures 17 to 19.
Installation 2.10.2 N.C. Contacts, Without EOL Resistor, With Tamper Recognition If your security installation requires tamper recognition and you are using the ATZ feature, connect the detection devices and program the control panel as shown in figure 18. Do not use devices with normally open contacts, as this will cause the zone to remain open.
Installation 2.11.2 UL Installation For UL installations, use a 4-wire, latching, smoke detector (UL - Falcon Model 5454). To supervise the power supply, install an "end of line" relay (Model MR3). Connect the smoke detectors and relay as shown in figure 21. In the event power is interrupted the relay will cause a FIRE TROUBLE report to be generated (see section 7.5).
