Spectra 1728 & 1738 - 3 - Programming Guide
Data Display Mode (LED Keypads Only)
View the section’s programming one digit at a time. Does not function with sections using Feature Select Programming.
Configuring the 1686H, 1686V and 1689 Keypads (V2.0 or higher)
The keypad’s zone number, EOL definition and tamper switch are programmed through the keypad’s programming mode.
After two minutes, the keypad exits programming mode.
Key [1] - Keypad Zone Selection (“Zone Programming” on page 4)
Key [1] determines whether the keypad’s zone is Keypad Zone 1 or Keypad Zone 2. When key [1] is OFF (not illuminated),
the keypad’s zone is Keypad Zone 1. When key [1] is ON (illuminated), the keypad’s zone is Keypad Zone 2.
Key [1] OFF = Keypad Zone 1 (default)
Key [1] ON = Keypad Zone 2
Key [2] - EOL Definition
Key [2] determines the keypad zone’s EOL definition. When key [2] is OFF (not illuminated), EOL is disabled and the keypad
zone uses the on-board 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 1728 PCB Layout” on page 38 and “Spectra 1738 PCB Layout” on
page 39 for more details).
Key [2] OFF = EOL disabled
Key [2] ON = EOL enabled (default)
Key [3] - On-Board Tamper
Key [3] enables or disables the keypad’s on-board tamper switch. When key [3] is OFF (not illuminated), the tamper switch is
disabled. When key [3] is ON (illuminated), the tamper switch is enabled.
Key [3] OFF = On-board tamper switch disabled
Key [3] ON = On-board tamper switch enabled
The keypad can be ordered with or without a tamper switch. If the keypad has no tamper switch, key [3] will be
OFF by default. If the keypad has a tamper switch, key [3] will be ON by default.
How Do I Configure The Keypad?
1. Press [ENTER].
2. Enter your [INSTALLER CODE] (default: 0000 / 000000).
3. Press the [PG] (1686H/V) / [FNC1] (1689) key and hold it for 3 seconds.
4. Press the desired key ([1] to [3]. See below).
5. Press [ENTER] to exit programming mode.
To access the Data Display Mode, press the [ENTER] key after entering a section and before entering any data. The
three LEDs as indicated below will begin to flash indicating that you are in the Data Display Mode.
Each time the [ENTER] key is pressed, the keypad will display the next digit in the current section and will continue through
all the following sections one digit at a time without changing the programmed values. Not available for sections using the
Multiple Feature Select Method. Press the [CLEAR] key at any time to exit the Data Display Mode.
Spectra 1728 & 1738 - 4 - Programming Guide
Zone Programming
When programming zones, the zone assignments are dependent on where the detection devices are connected to in the
system. In installations that require using mostly the expansion inputs, refer to Reassign Keypad Zone 2 (section [126] option
[7] on page 10) and Reassign Zones to Expansion Inputs (section [126] option [8] on page 10).
The Expansion zones need to be enabled in order for Zone Programming to work. Refer to “Zone Expansion Modules” on
page 26.
Do not assign inputs from different modules to the same expansion input.

5. When the keypad emits a confirmation beep, remove the Memory Key. Remove the Memory Key’s jumper if you do not
wish to accidentally overwrite its contents.
Programming a Wireless Fire Zone
With Spectra systems, fire zones cannot be assigned to expansion zones. As a result, when installing a wireless smoke
detector to be used with a Spectra system, the corresponding zone must be programmed as follows:
1. The zone must be defined as a 24Hr Burglary zone.
2. The zone’s alarm type must be set to Audible Alarm (pulsed).
3. The zone’s Auto-Zone Shutdown (zone option [1]) and Bypass (zone option [2]) features must be disabled.
4. Change the zone’s report code from a burglary report code to a fire report code. If using Ademco Contact I.D., change
the Contact ID Options from All Codes to Programmable (section [136] option [3] = OFF) and then enter the report code
manually.
[750] After removing an expansion module from the communication bus, the control panel keeps the module’s
programmed sections in memory. Therefore, if you add or replace a module you can re-program the module with the
settings saved in the control panel. To do so, enter section [750] and press [ENTER]. The keypads will beep twice
every second until the procedure is completed.

User Operation
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. If the system is not partitioned, all User Codes and features will be recognized as
belonging to Partition 1.
Programming Access Codes
User Access Codes are personal identification numbers that allow users to enter certain programming modes, arm or disarm
the alarm system as well as activate or deactivate PGMs. Spectra security systems support the following:
System Master Code can arm or disarm any partition using any arming method and can create, modify or delete any User
Access Code. Only the System Master Code can modify or delete User Access Codes assigned to both partitions.
Master Code 1 is permanently assigned to partition 1 and can be used to create, modify or delete User Access Codes that
are assigned to partition 1.
Master Code 2 is permanently assigned to partition 2 (except when partitioning is disabled, Master Code 2 will be assigned
to partition 1) and can be used to create, modify or delete User Access Codes that are assigned to the same partition.
45 User Access Codes (including 1 Duress code)
How does a partitioned system work?
• Users can only arm or disarm their assigned partitions.
• Only zones assigned to Partition 1 will arm or disarm when Partition 1 is armed or disarmed.
• Only zones assigned to Partition 2 will arm or disarm when Partition 2 is armed or disarmed.
• Zones assigned to both partitions will arm when both partitions are armed and will disarm when
at least one disarms.
• Some of the system’s features can be programmed separately for each partition.
How Do I Program Access Codes?
1. Press [ENTER]
2. Key in the [SYSTEM MASTER CODE] or [MASTER CODE]
3. Key in 3-digit [SECTION] (see User Code Table)
4. Key in new 4- or 6-digit [ACCESS CODE]
[ENTER] flashes. Return to step 3
How Do I Delete Access Codes?
1. Repeat steps 1 to 3 (see above)
2. Press the [FORCE] key once for each digit in the access code (4 or 6 times) until the
keypad emits a Confirmation Beep.

Programming Chime Zones
This feature allows users to program which zones will be Chime Enabled. A Chime Enabled zone will cause the keypad to
emit a rapid intermittent beep tone (BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP) advising the user every time it is opened. Each keypad must be
Chime Programmed separately. Keypad chimes must be re-programmed if the system suffers a total power loss.
10-ZONE LED KEYPAD:
Press and hold any key from [1] to [10] for 3 seconds to activate or deactivate Chiming for zones 1 to 10. For example, press
and hold the [1] key to enable chiming on zone 1. If, after pressing and holding a key, the keypad emits a confirmation beep,
this means the chime feature has been enabled for that zone. If the keypad emits a Rejection Beep, this means the Chime
feature has been disabled for the corresponding zone.
16-ZONE LED KEYPAD:
Press and hold the [9] key. Enter the 2-digit (01 to 16) zone number(s). When the corresponding LED is on, the zone is
chimed. When the corresponding LED is off, the zone is unchimed. When the desired zones are chimed, press [ENTER].
LCD KEYPAD:
Press and hold the [9] key. Enter the 2-digit (01 to 16) zone number(s) or use the arrow keys to scroll through the zones.
When the appropriate zone is displayed, press the [FNC1] key. When the desired zones are chimed, press [ENTER].
Keypad Muting
Press and hold the [CLEAR] key for 3 seconds to enable or disable keypad muting. When muted, the keypad will only beep
when a key is pressed or when the keypad emits a Rejection or Confirmation Beep. All other beep functions are disabled.
Keypad Backlight (1686H and 1686V Only)
The illumination level behind the keys can be modified to suit the user’s needs. There are four backlight levels. The [MEM] key
is used to set the desired level. Each consecutive push of the [MEM] key will increase the backlight level until the maximum
level is reached. After reaching the maximum level, the backlight level will return to the lowest level and the whole process is
repeated. To change the backlight level:

Keypad and Keypad Zone Connections
To connect the keypads to the control panel, remove the back cover and wire the GRN, YEL, RED, and BLK terminals of
each keypad to the corresponding terminals on the control panel as shown in “Spectra 1738 PCB Layout” on page 39 or
“Spectra 1728 PCB Layout” on page 38. There is no limit to the number of keypads that can be connected to the control panel
so long as the current consumption does not surpass 700mA.
Each keypad has one zone input terminal, allowing you to connect one motion detector or door contact directly to a keypad.
For 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. The keypad can then communicate the
status of the zone to the control panel. A maximum of two keypad zones can be used with each control panel. After
connecting the device, the zone's parameters must be defined. For details on zone recognition and zone programming refer
to page 4.
For details on Keypad Tamper Supervision or Configuring the LED Keypads, please see the Spectra 1728 & 1738 Reference
and Installation Manual.
If you do not use the keypad zone, do not connect a jumper across the “ZN” and “-” terminals; leave the zone
open.
For proper operation of the keypad zones whether they are used or not, always enable the Keypad Zone
Sending option on all LCD keypads.
Program the PGM with the
“[PG]/[FNC1] Key was
