• 2 on-board, fully programmable outputs (PGMs) and one 5A alarm relay • Simple, direct and logical programming • Event Call Direction: The Spectra 1759EX control panel events are divided into 5 groups of events. Each of these event groups can be programmed with a separate dialing sequence.
Avoid installing the 1759EX in the basement. Do not cut, bend or alter the antennae and ensure that electrical wires do not cross over the antennae as these may affect the signal reception.

Figure 2.2: Spectra 1759EX Control Panel Overview Warning: Do not cut, bend or alter the antennae & ensure that electrical wires do not cross over the Refer to AC Power antennae as these and Backup Battery may affect the signal Connections on reception.
The Spectra 1759EX control panel also has a 5A relay. This relay can be connected as shown in Figure 2.3 on page 6. The Alarm Relay can be programmed to follow the bell output or the activation and deactivation of the Global PGM (see Alarm Relay Options on page 36).
Detection devices such as motion detectors and door contacts are connected to the control panel's zone input terminals. Figure 2.4 (below) demonstrates single zone input terminal connections recognized by Spectra. Once connected, the associated zone's parameters must be defined. For details refer to Zone Programming on page 13.
Figure 2.5: Keypad Zone Connections When a 1641 LCD keypad is connected to Spectra, the Keypad Zone Sending option (Option [2] key [1]) determines whether the status of the keypad zone will be transmitted to the control panel. The Keypad Zone Sending option of the 1641 keypad must be enabled during the following conditions: •...
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 1759EX Programming Guide. When entering the final digit in a section, the control panel will automatically save and advance to the next section.
EOL resistor. When key [2] is ON (illuminated), EOL is enabled and the keypad zone requires that an external EOL resistor be connected (refer to Spectra 1759EX Control Panel Overview on page 4 for more details).
PROGRAMMING USING A PARADOX MEMORY KEY* Copy the sections of one Spectra control panel into the Paradox Memory Key (PMC-3). Then copy the contents of the Memory Key into as many Spectra control panels as needed. Each panel is programmed in less than 3 seconds.
PART 4: ACCESS CODES The Spectra 1759EX control panel supports the following access codes: INSTALLER CODE: Used to program all control panel settings except User Access Codes. SYSTEM MASTER CODE (001) Provides full access. Arm and disarm using any method described in the User Code Options in section 4.4 as well as program the User Access Codes.
4.4.2 ARTITION SSIGNMENT Sections [302] to [348]: User Codes 002 to 048 Option [2] OFF = Deny access to partition 2 (default) Option [2] ON = User code has access to partition 2 If the system is partitioned (see page 37), user codes with this option enabled can arm and disarm partition 2. If the system is not partitioned, the control panel ignores this option.
PART 5: ZONE PROGRAMMING The Spectra 1759EX control panel’s zone assignment depends on where the detection devices are connected (see Table 4). Table 4: Zone Recognition Table Device connected to 1759EX which input? Control Panel Input 1 = Zone 1...

5.5.3 OLLOW ONES Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15, First Digit = 3 When an armed Follow Zone opens, the control panel will immediately generate an alarm, unless an Entry Delay zone opens first: • If an armed Follow Zone opens after an Entry Delay zone opens, the control panel waits until the Entry Delay Timer has elapsed before generating an alarm.
When the conditions for an alarm are met, the control panel can transmit the appropriate Zone Alarm report code (see page 29) and will not activate the control panel’s bell output. The appropriate LED on the keypads will STATUS flash to indicate an alarm and the user will still have to disarm the system. 1759EX PECTRA...
[4] ON / [5] ON: Report Only When the conditions for an alarm have been met, the control panel can transmit the appropriate Zone Alarm report code (see page 29). The system will not have to be disarmed. 5.8.5 NTELLIZONE Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15 Option [6] OFF = Intellizone Disabled (default) Option [6] ON...
PART 6: WIRELESS FEATURES The Spectra 1759EX allows for the addition of up to eight fully supervised Omnia wireless transmitters, and up to eight programmable remote controls. WIRELESS TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING The programming of the wireless transmitters (detectors and door contacts) is accomplished in two steps: 1.
Settings on page 21) to confirm their presence and functionality. If a device has not sent a signal within that time period, the Spectra 1759EX can generate a trouble, an alarm, and/or transmit a report code to the monitoring station (refer to Wireless Transmitter Supervision Options on page 40).
When the battery voltage of a wireless transmitter (motion detector or door contact) drops below a certain value, the Spectra 1759EX will send a low battery report code to the monitoring station, and a trouble will appear in the keypad’s trouble display.

PART 9: REPORTING AND DIALER SETTINGS The following section explains all the features and options that must be programmed in order for your security system to properly report system events to a central station. When an event (e.g. zone in alarm) occurs in the system, the control panel verifies if a report code was programmed in the section corresponding to the event (except Ademco Contact ID “All Codes”).
A report code can be programmed for each of the 15 available zones. Whenever a zone generates an alarm, the control panel can send the appropriate report code to the central station, identifying which zone generated an alarm. 1759EX PECTRA...
Page 32
9.2.6 LARM ESTORE EPORT ODES Sections [191] to [194] A report code can be programmed for each of the 15 available zones. The control panel can transmit these report codes to the central station identifying which zone was restored. A zone is restored when it closes after generating an alarm or once the bell has cut-off after alarm generation. Please refer to Zone Restore Report Options on page 35.
Section [151] = Phone#1, [152] = Phone#2, [153] = Backup Phone#: Up to 32 digits The Spectra Control Panels can dial up to 2 different central station telephone numbers. You can enter any digit from 0 to 9 and any special keys or functions (see Table 9) up to a maximum of 32 digits. For more information on how these telephone numbers are used, please refer to Event Call Direction on page 33 and Reporting Formats on page 31.

9.11 DIAL TONE DELAY Section [136]: Dialer Options Option [5] OFF = Dialer will continue to dial if no dial tone is present after 4 seconds (default). Option [5] ON = Dialer will hang-up if no dial tone is present after 16 seconds 9.12 MAXIMUM DIALING ATTEMPTS Section [081]...
PGM Deactivation Event occurs or when the PGM Delay period elapses (see page 36). For the Event List see the PGM Table in the Spectra 1759EX Programming Guide. To program a PGM Activation Event: 1) Enter section that represents the desired PGM.
Instead of deactivating the PGM when a specific event occurs, the PGM can deactivate after a programmed period elapses (see PGM Delay below). For the Event List see the PGM Table in the Spectra 1759EX Programming Guide. If using the PGM Delay, these sections can be used as a second activation event.
= Partitioning Enabled The Spectra system is equipped with a partitioning feature which can divide the 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 an office/warehouse building.

By enabling this option, the control panel will supervise the 4- or 8-Zone Expansion Bus Module (SPC/APR3-ZX4 or SPC/APR3- ZX8) connected to the Spectra bus. This means that whenever the Zone Expansion Bus Module is disconnected or is not communicating with the control panel, the control panel will attempt to transmit the Module Fault report code programmed in section [210] and the Module Loss Failure will appear in the keypads’...
11.15 WIRELESS TRANSMITTER LOW BATTERY SUPERVISION Section [129]: General Options Option [6] OFF = Wireless Transmitter Low Battery Supervision Disabled (default) Option [6] ON = Wireless Transmitter Low Battery Supervision Enabled When option [6] in section [129] is enabled and the battery voltage of an Omnia wireless transmitter (motion detector or contact switch) has dropped below recommended limits, the control panel will attempt to transmit the Wireless Transmitter Low Battery report code programmed in section [210] and the Wireless Transmitter Low Battery Failure will appear in the keypads’...
