Paradox Esprit User Manual

The Esprit 's innovative keypads take a new approach to security features and functions. Each numeral
from 1 to 12 on the keypad represents an actual zone. When the zone light is "off", the status in the pro-
tected zone is normal. If the zone light is "on", this means the zone is open.
" " confirmation beep: an intermittent series of beeps indicating a successful keypad entry.
CONF
" / " end/rejection beep: 1 long tone indicates that the operation was incorrectly entered on the keypad.

SYSTEM ARMING/DISARMING OPTIONS

Regular System Arming
(Without partitioning - for information on partitioned system arming, see page 25-26)
The green "ready" light must be illuminated. This "ready" indicator will only illuminate if all zones are
closed. All door/window contacts must be closed, and any movement in motion detector-protected areas
must be halted. When the "ready" light illuminates, a valid access code should be entered.
Upon entry of this code, the red "armed" light will illuminate, followed by the keypad "
access code is entered incorrectly, the "
press [ ] and re-enter the data.) The green "ready" light will flash for the period of the exit delay, and
CLEAR
the [ ] and [ ] keys will flash.
STAY AWAY
Note: Keypad will beep on exit if programmed at address 208, key [12].
Force (Away) Arming
To arm the system rapidly without waiting for the "ready" light, use the "away" force arming feature. The
[ ] key should be pressed, followed by a valid access code (address 202). Once the exit delay
AWAY
expires, any open zones will not be considered "activated" by the panel. Open zones will not be protected,
and will not generate an alarm or prevent arming. These "away" zones will become active (and therefore,
protected) as soon as they are closed. Armed status is indicated by illumination of the [
tial arm" code will be sent if programmed.
Please note: This feature is not recommended for regular use because force arming with open zones can
reduce the efficiency of system protection.
Stay Arming
When "stay arming" is activated, the security installation is "partially" armed. This means that only selected
zones are armed (address 240), so that users can remain in the protected area. This convenient
STAY
feature (programmed at address 200) offers individuals arming the system the choice to leave the premises
during an exit delay (without altering the "stay arm" status), or remain on the premises. A system user
returning to a protected area that is "stay" armed ([
valid access code is keyed in during the entry delay.
Fast "Regular" Arming
Fast arming is enabled at address 208 (key [7] "on"). If activated, when the ready light is on, pressing key
[10] for 2 seconds automatically arms the system. There's no need to enter an access code. This feature
can be used to permit selected individuals (i.e. maintenance workers, repair personnel) to full arm the sys-
tem when leaving the protected area. (When partitioning is enabled, key [10] arms system "A" and "B".)
Fast "Stay" Arming
Fast "stay" arming is enabled at address 208 (key [8] "on"). When activated, no "ready" light is required,
however "stay" zones must be closed to arm the system. Pressing [
matically "stay" arms the system. (See "stay" arming features.)
