ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This installation manual has been created to provide you with the information you will need to understand
panel operation, features and functions. It expands on the directions found in the "Programming
Guide" . Even if you are familiar with other security control panels, we recommend that you read this
manual at least once to familiarize yourself with panel features. Please refer to the index for a complete
list of manual contents.

FEATURES

Reliability

The superior capabilities of the 738 EXPRESS and 738 are driven by leading edge hardware. Use of the
most powerful RISC processors on the market, with built-in "Analog to Digital" converters and SMD
Technology, means this control panel requires 30-40% less components than any previous generations.

Total Compatibility

All programming, comprehensive system features, and upload/download software of Esprit panels are
identical. This total compatibility significantly reduces the time required to conduct training, programming
and system upgrades. There's just one set of procedures for all Esprit panels.

User-friendly Operation

The reduced number of steps required to program the 738 EXPRESS and the 738 via a keypad speeds
up installation. End-user access to most system functions calls for just one touch of the keypad. A "stream-
lined programming" feature further simplifies the programming process, by saving data automatically and
leading the installer through the programming addresses without the need to enter them manually.

False Alarm Prevention

Important advances have been made in Esprit control panel technology which guarantee exceptional levels
of false alarm protection. A full range of high tech features dramatically reduce the frequency of false alarms.
These easy to use tools include "Intellizone" definition, "Auto Zone Shutdown", "Beep On Exit Delay",
"Programmable Delay before Alarm Transmission" and "Recent Closing" report.

Flexible System Partitioning

Each control panel can be used to monitor two distinct security systems. Partitioning provides a practical
and flexible solution in situations where combined systems are a necessity. User-friendly Esprit partitioning
does it all with just one access code. Protected area zones can be defined as belonging to System "A",
System "B", both systems (dual area), or given no system assignment (common area).

High-Speed Preprogrammed Communication

Esprit panels can slash set-up and reporting time by transmitting preprogrammed and high-speed com-
municator formats.
