Reference & Installation Manual

Part 1: Introduction

1.1 Features
32 zones (any of which can be wireless or keypad zones). 32 users and 32 remote controls (one per user). In-field upgradeable: Update the panels firmware by connecting it to a PC via a 306USB Interface and then using the Winload software (V2.80 or higher). Menu-driven programming for the Installer, Master, and Maintenance codes. This enables you to program the panel through a simple and easy to use interface, without the use of section numbers. Multiple telephone numbers for event reporting: Three for the monitoring station, five for personal dialing and one for pager reporting. Up to five persons can now be contacted by the panel in case of alarm. Calendar with daylight savings time (section [730], option [1]): You can now select 1 out of 18 different country groups each with its own preprogrammed local daylight savings time. New Sleep arming method: Similar to Stay arming, Sleep arming allows users to remain in a protected area, but provides a higher level of protection. For example, in a two-story house, the perimeter is protected with Stay arming. With Sleep arming, the perimeter as well as the main floor is protected (motion detectors, etc.), allowing you to roam the second floor and sleeping quarters. Connect up to 15 hardwire keypads on the 4-wire communication bus. Push button power reset: Convenient reset button saves time when a momentary powerdown is required as opposed to having to physically disconnect the control panels power cables. Press and hold the RESET switch for five seconds. The STATUS LED will start flashing. Within 2 seconds of this flashing, press the reset switch again. The panel will reset to default and restart. Also, you can reset all programmable sections to factory default values in section [950]. Available in 433MHz or 868MHz. Supports Memory Key (PMC-4 and PMC-5). RF jamming supervision (section [700], option [5]): The control panel will report a trouble if the RF signal is being jammed. Supports SIA reporting format to central station.

Part 2: Installation

2.1 Location and Mounting
Before mounting the cabinet, push the five white nylon mounting studs into the back of the cabinet. Pull all cables into the cabinet and prepare them for connection before mounting the circuit board into the back of the cabinet. Select a centralized installation site on the main floor that isn't easily accessible to intruders and leave at least 5cm (2in) around the panel box to permit adequate ventilation and heat dissipation. The installation site should be dry and close to an AC source, ground connection and telephone line connection. Avoid installation near or in the path of strong RF fields (i.e. neon lights, computers), on or near metal objects, circuit breaker boxes, air conditioners and heater ducts since they may cause interference and reduce sensitivity. Avoid installing the control panel in the basement. Do not cut, bend or alter the antennas and ensure that electrical wires do not cross over the antennae as these may affect the signal reception.

Closing Delinquency Delay
Section [719] 000 = Disabled, 001 to 255 days, Default = Disabled At midnight every day, the control panel will verify when the partition was last disarmed. If the partition has not been armed within the time programmed in the Closing Delinquency Delay, the control panel will transmit a Closing Delinquency event to the monitoring station. Example: The Closing Delinquency Timer for partition 1 in section [719] is programmed for 005 days. The control panel verifies when partition 1 was last disarmed at midnight every day. If partition 1 was not armed within the last 5 days, the panel will transmit a Closing Delinquency event to the monitoring station.The Closing Delinquency Event and timer apply only to partition 1.

Partitioning

Section [700]: General Options Option [1] OFF = Partitioning Disabled (default) Option [1] ON = Partitioning Enabled The panel 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 (see Access Codes on page 18) and some of the system's features can be assigned to Partition 1, Partition 2 or both. If the system is not partitioned, all user codes and features will be recognized as belonging to Partition 1. Users can only arm partitions to which they have been assigned. Only zones assigned to Partition 1 will arm/disarm when Partition 1 is armed or disarmed. Only zones assigned to Partition 2 will arm/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. The following features can be programmed separately for each partition: Entry/Exit Delay Timer, Auto-arming Options, Bell Cut-Off Timer, Switch to Stay arming, PGM Events and Account Numbers. If the system is not partitioned, all zones, user codes, and features will be recognized as belonging to partition 1. Zones that have been manually assigned to partition 2 will no longer function.

Confidential Mode

Section [701] Options [3], [4] and [5] Option [3] OFF = Confidential Mode Disabled (default) Option [3] ON = Confidential Mode Enabled Option [4] OFF = Keypads activate when an access code is entered (default) Option [4] ON = Keypads activate when a key is pressed

Option [5] OFF = Confidential Mode Timer is 2 minutes (default) Option [5] ON = Confidential Mode Timer is 5 seconds If Confidential Mode is enabled and no actions are performed on the keypads for the time defined by the Confidential Mode Timer, all the keypads LEDs will be off until either a key is pressed or an access code is entered. When the system exits Confidential Mode, the keypads will display the systems status. Confidential Mode is activated by enabling option [3]. Option [4] regulates whether the keypads will be activated at the touch of a key or only when an access code is entered. Option [5] determines the amount of time without action before the system enters Confidential Mode (5 seconds or 2 minutes).

Installer Function Keys

Automatic Event Buffer Transmission
Section [900]: Dialer Options Option [2] OFF = Auto Event Buffer Transmission Disabled (default) Option [2] ON = Auto Event Buffer Transmission Enabled When the event buffer reaches 90% capacity, the control panel will make two attempts to establish communication with a PC using the WinLoad software by calling the PC Telephone Number programmed in section [915]. The WinLoad software must be in Wait to Dial mode. When the system establishes communication, it will upload the contents of the event buffer to the WinLoad software. If communication is interrupted before completing transmission or if after two attempts communication is not established, the system will wait until the Event Buffer attains another 90% capacity before attempting to re-communicate with the monitoring station. When the Event Buffer is full, each subsequent new event will erase the oldest event in the buffer.

Call Back WinLoad

Section [900]: Dialer Options Option [1] OFF = Call Back WinLoad Disabled (default) Option [1] ON = Call Back WinLoad Enabled For additional security, when a PC using the WinLoad software attempts to communicate with the control panel, the control panel can hang up and call the PC back in order to re-verify identification codes and re-establish communication. When the control panel hangs up, the WinLoad software automatically goes into Wait for Call mode, ready to answer when the control panel calls back. Please note that the PC Telephone Number must be programmed in section [915] in order to use the Call Back feature.

Warranty
For complete warranty information on this product please refer to the Limited Warranty Statement found on the website www.paradox.com/terms. Your use of the Paradox product signifies your acceptance of all warranty terms and conditions.
Limitations of Alarm Systems
It must be understood that while your Paradox alarm system is highly advanced and secure, it does not offer any guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or other emergency (fire and emergency options are only available on certain Paradox models). This is due to a number of reasons, including by not limited to inadequate or improper installation/positioning, sensor limitations, battery performance, wireless signal interruption, inadequate maintenance or the potential for the system or telephone lines to be compromised or circumvented. As a result, Paradox does not represent that the alarm system will prevent personal injury or property damage, or in all cases provide adequate warning or protection. Your security system should therefore be considered as one of many tools available to reduce risk and/or damage of burglary, fire or other emergencies, such other tools include but are not limited to insurance coverage, fire prevention and extinguish devices, and sprinkler systems. We also strongly recommend that you regularly maintain your security systems and stay aware of new and improved Paradox products and developments.
Warning for Connections to Non-Traditional Telephony (e.g. VoIP)
Paradox alarm equipment was designed to work effectively around traditional telephone systems. For those customers who are using a Paradox alarm panel connected to a non-traditional telephone system, such as "Voice Over Internet Protocol" (VoIP) that converts the voice signal from your telephone to a digital signal traveling over the Internet, you should be aware that your alarm system may not function as effectively as with traditional telephone systems. For example, if your VoIP equipment has no battery back-up, during a power failure your system's ability to transmit signals to the central station may be compromised. Or, if your VoIP connection becomes disabled, your telephone line monitoring feature may also be compromised. Other concerns would include, without limitation, Internet connection failures which may be more frequent than regular telephone line outages. We therefore strongly recommend that you discuss these and other limitations involved with operating an alarm system on a VoIP or other non-traditional telephone system with your installation company. They should be able to offer or recommend measures to reduce the risks involved and give you a better understanding.
