Manual. To program the Spectra control panel using a keypad, you must enter the Programming Mode as shown below. Once a control panel has been programmed, you can use the Paradox Memory Key to copy the contents from the programmed control panel to one or more control panels (see page 5).
PARADOX MEMORY KEY Copy the programmed contents of one Spectra control panel into the Paradox Memory Key. Then copy the contents of the Paradox Memory Key into as many Spectra control panels as you need. Each control panel is programmed in less than 3 seconds.
ZONE PROGRAMMING When programming zones please note that the Spectra control panels’ zone assignment is dependent on where the detection devices in the system are connected (see Table 2 below). Table 2: Zone Recognition Table Device connected to 1725EX 1725 1728EX 1728 which input?

LIBERATOR WIRELESS BUS MODULE (SPC-319) The following options and features are only available to program when a Liberator Wireless Bus Module has been connected to the Spectra control panel’s communication bus as shown on page 37. The Liberator Wireless Bus Module (SPC-319) allows you to add up to eight fully programmable remote controls and up to eight Liberator Wireless Detectors and Contact Switches (door contacts).
SIGNAL STRENGTH DISPLAY Enter the section (see next page) corresponding to the desired Expansion Input, then activate the transmitter by opening/ closing the zone or by pressing the tamper switch. NOTE: after entering the section, ignore the first reading as it won’t be accurate.
ZONE EXPANSION MODULES (SPC-ZX4/8) The following options and features are only available to program when a Zone Expansion Bus Module has been connected to the Spectra control panel’s communication bus as shown on page 37. The Zone Expansion Modules provide you with up to 4 (SPC-ZX4) or up to eight (SPC-ZX8) additional hardwired inputs and one normally open 50mA PGM output (on SPC-ZX8 only).
PGM PROGRAMMING (Zone Module SPC-ZX8 Only) The system will ignore sections [656] and [657] if PGM1 has been programmed to follow the Global PGM. Refer to option [3] in section [650] on page 25. Section # Event Group # Sub-Group # Partition # [656] = PGM1 Start Event ___/___...

USER OPERATION TROUBLE DISPLAY The Spectra system continuously monitors fourteen possible trouble conditions. When a trouble condition occurs, the [ button or [ ] indicator will illuminate on the LED keypads or “Trouble” will appear on the LCD keypad’s screen. Press the TRBL ] or [ ] button to switch to the Trouble Display.
PARTITIONING 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. When partitioned, each zone, each User Code and some of the system's features can be assigned to either Partition 1, Partition 2, or both partitions.
DISARMING & DEACTIVATING AN ALARM To disarm an already armed system or to deactivate an alarm simply key in a valid access code. Program a designated entry/exit point, such as the front door or the garage door with an Entry Delay Timer. When these entry/exit point are opened (breached), it will set off a timer.
INSTANT ARMING After Stay Arming the system and during its Exit Delay, press and hold the [ ] button for 3 seconds. You should hear a STAY " ". This will switch all armed zones to Instant zones. CONFIRMATION BEEP If you have access to both partitions: To Instant Arm one partition, press [ ] + [...
BYPASS RECALL FEATURE After disarming the system, the control panel will erase the bypass entries. By using the Bypass Recall Feature, you can reinstate the previous bypass entries saved in memory. This eliminates the need to manually program the bypass entries every time you arm the system.
AUTO-ARMING You can program the Spectra alarm panel to automatically arm at a specific time everyday or if no movement is detected for a specified period of time. The user is only allowed to program the Auto Arm Timer. Please note that the control panel will enter a 60- second Exit Delay period before arming the system.
SPECTRA 1755, 1755EX, 1758 AND 1758EX PCB LAYOUT Other than the location of the parts on the board and the items that have been indicated below, connections to these control panels are identical to those on page 38.
