Limitations of Alarm Systems
We strongly advise that you review and take into consideration the Limitations of Alarm Systems document available on our website at http://paradox.com/Terms/.
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.

Remote Controls

Your security system supports three types of remote controls; the REM1, REM2, REM3 and REM15. The REM1 and REM15 are the most basic remote controls, with the ability to perform five actions (e.g. arming, disarming, activating a PGM, etc.). The REM2 is more advanced, as it performs up to six different actions, as well as provides visual and auditory feedback (see table below). The REM3 is the most advanced remote control, as it has all the functionalities of a keypad (refer to the REM3 User Manual for more information). The following table describes the visual and auditory feedback of the REM2 remote control. NOTE: A wireless expansion module is necessary in order to use remote controls if you are using a Spectra SP system. Please refer to your installer for more information regarding the use of remote controls with a Spectra SP system.

Arming & Disarming with StayD
StayD simplifies your life and makes it safer by protecting you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without ever having to disarm the system even when entering an armed area. StayD lives with you and protects you at all times, without any unprotected periods, and automatically re-arms the system so you dont need to remember to. When entering/exiting a site, the system partly disarms to let you pass through: simply notify the system with your remote and go through the designated path which will automatically re-arm after you pass. All other zones remain armed. The result is a system that is always protecting, without the uncertainty of whether the system is armed or not. Other benefits of StayD include knowing when your kids are accessing potentially dangerous areas, such as the balcony, pool or front door. Now you can truly have peace of mind knowing that you are always protected. Consult your installer for more information.

To Change Arm Mode

(see Arming & Disarming on page 14)
To change the level of security - Stay to Sleep:
[SLEEP] for 2 sec. Delay Sleep light on Press and hold the [SLEEP] key on any keypad. All zones which will be armed in Sleep mode go into exit delay, allowing you to move to the bedroom. When the exit delay ends, and you are in the bedroom, the rest of the interior will arm. The system is now in Sleep mode.
To change the level of security - Sleep to Stay:
[STAY] for 2 sec. Stay light on Press and hold the [STAY] key on the keypad located in the bedroom. The system will instantly switch from Sleep to Stay mode, allowing you to leave the bedroom and move freely inside the house. If you accidentally leave the bedroom without switching to Stay mode, all zones armed in Sleep mode will go into a delay, allowing you enough time to switch to Stay mode.
Leaving the site - Stay to Full:
Keypad: [ARM] for 2 sec. Delay Arm light on Press and hold the [ARM] key on the keypad that the exit path is assigned to. This will start an exit delay period for all zones in the exit path. After you have left the property, all exit path zones will rearm. The system is now in Full mode.
Entering the site - Full to Stay:
Keypad: [CODE] Stay light on When entering the property through the entry path, all zones assigned to the entry path will go into delay, allowing you to enter the house. Entering a valid code on the keypad the entry path is assigned to ends the entry delay and switches the system to Stay Arm mode. The entry path zones will rearm. The system is now in Stay mode.
Leaving the site without changing arm mode:
[OFF] for 2 sec. Press and hold the [OFF] key for 2 seconds on a keypad to leave the site without changing arm mode.

Advanced StayD Settings

Window Mode and Re-arm Delay
In a Stay-armed system: This mode allows you to open one exterior zone without triggering an alarm. To enter Window mode, press [OFF], then your [USER CODE]. All zones that can be opened flash. The system will start an exit delay, allowing you to open an exterior zone such as a window or a door. The system will only allow you to open one zone as the exit delay will end after doing so. When you close the open zone (window, door, etc.) that zone will re-arm. When closing an exterior zone such as a window or door, a delay will start allowing you to close the zone properly. The re-arm delay starts when you close the zone, and you must keep the zone closed for the entire delay period for it to re-arm. This is especially useful for windows that stick thus reducing false alarms.

Live View Mode:

During an alarm, press the [CLEAR] key to view the movement. The zone lights on the keypad will show the opening and closing of zones as they occur.

Magellan / Spectra SP 13

Arming & Disarming
Take full advantage of your system by familiarizing yourself with all the arming methods. If your system is not partitioned (see Partitioning on page 22), everything is considered as belonging to Partition 1. NOTE: If you cannot arm because a zone is open, the system will enter in Bypass Programming. Enter the two digit zone you wish to bypass and press [ENTER], or press [ENTER] to bypass all open zones.

Regular Arming

This method will arm all the zones in the selected partition. Please note that Regular arming can also be activated using Auto-Arming (see Auto-Arming on page 16) or One-Touch Arming (see One-Touch Arming on page 15). How do I Regular arm? 1 Close all zones in the desired partition. 2 Press [ARM] + [USER CODE]. 3 If you have access to both partitions (see Partitioning on page 22): Press the key corresponding to the desired partition ([1] or [2]). For both partitions, press the other key after the confirmation beep.

Sleep Arming

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 are protected (motion detectors, etc.), allowing you to roam the second floor and sleeping quarters. Sleep zones are zones that are bypassed when Sleep arming. For example, when you go to sleep at night, the entire premises except your bedroom is fully armed. Sleep arming can also be activated using Auto-Arming (see Auto-Arming on page 16) or One-Touch Arming (see One-Touch Arming on page 15). How do I Sleep arm? 1 Close all zones in the desired partition (except Sleep zones). 2 Press the [SLEEP] key. 3 Enter your [USER CODE]. 4 If you have access to both partitions (see Partitioning on page 22): Press the key corresponding to the desired partition, [1] or [2]. For both partitions, press the other key after the confirmation beep.

Stay Arming

This method allows you to roam freely within the premises while the perimeter is fully armed. Stay zones are zones that are bypassed when Stay arming. For example, if you plan on staying in for the night, doors and windows can be armed without arming other zones like motion detectors. Stay arming can also be activated using Auto-Arming (see Auto-Arming on page 16) or One-Touch Arming (see One-Touch Arming on page 15). How do I Stay arm? 1 Close all zones in the desired partition (except Stay zones). 2 Press the [STAY] key. 3 Enter your [USER CODE]. 4 If you have access to both partitions (see Partitioning on page 22): press the key corresponding to the desired partition, [1] or [2]. For both partitions, press the other key after the confirmation beep.

Bypassing a Zone

Bypassing a zone allows you to ignore (deactivate) specified zones the next time the system is armed. For example, you may wish to bypass certain zones when workers are renovating part of your home. Once the system is disarmed, the bypass entries are erased. When zones are bypassed, the [BYP] key will illuminate. Zone bypassing can also be activated by using One-Touch Bypass Programming (see page 15). If One-Touch Bypass Programming is enabled, press the [BYP] key for three seconds to enter bypass programming. To remove the Bypass feature from a zone, in step 3 enter the zone number again or press [CLEAR] to erase all current entries. Press [CLEAR] + [ENTER] to delete bypassed zones. How do I bypass zones? 1 Press the [BYP] key. 2 Enter [USER CODE]. The [BYP] key will flash. Press [ENTER] to bypass all open zones or go to step 3. 3 Illuminate the number(s) corresponding to the zone(s) you want to bypass by entering the zone number. Solid on = Zone open, Flash = Zone bypass, Off = Zone closed, not bypassed. 4 Press the [ENTER] key to save and exit. Press [CLEAR] twice to exit without saving.

Bypass Recall Feature

After disarming the system, bypass entries are erased. The Bypass Recall feature reinstates the previous bypass entries saved in memory. This eliminates the need to manually re-program the bypass entries every time you arm your system. How do I recall bypass entries? 1 Press the [BYP] key. 2 Enter your [USER CODE]. 3 Press the [BYP] key. 4 Press the [ENTER] key.

One-Touch Arming

One-Touch arming allows you to arm the system without using a user code. This feature must be enabled by your installer. If One-Touch Arming is programmed, you can increase the security level of your system (from Disarm Stay Arm Sleep Arm Full Arm) without a code. See Figure 1 below.

One-Touch Regular Arming

Press and hold the [ARM] key to arm all zones in the partition. If partitioned, keys [1] & [2] will flash. You can use this feature to allow specific individuals like service personnel (e.g. cleaners) to arm without giving them access to any other alarm system operations. See Regular Arming on page 14.

One-Touch Stay Arming

Press and hold the [STAY] key to arm the perimeter (no Stay zones). See Stay Arming on page 14.

One-Touch Sleep Arming

Press and hold the [SLEEP] key to arm all zones not defined as Sleep zones. See Sleep Arming on page 14.

One-Touch Bypass Programming
Press and hold the [BYP] key to access Bypass programming mode. See Bypassing a Zone on page 17.

Fast Exit

When the system is already Stay or Sleep armed: this feature will allow you to exit already armed premises and keep the system armed. Press and hold the [OFF] key for to start the exit delay. After the exit delay has elapsed, the system will switch to its previous arming mode.

Auto-Arming

Timed Auto Arming
The alarm system can automatically arm itself at a specified time every day. As with Regular arming (see Regular Arming on page 14), the system will bypass any open zones. How do I program the Auto-Arm Timer? 1 Press the [ ] key. 2 Enter [MASTER CODE]. 3 Press the [BYP] key. The [BYP] key will flash. 4 Press key [1] to set partition 1, or press key [2] to set partition 2. 5 Enter the desired time for auto arm (24 hour clock, e.g. 18:30). 6 Press key [1] to regular arm, key [2] to sleep arm, or key [3] to stay arm the partition. How do I temporarily disable the Auto-Arm Timer? 1 Press the [ ] key. 2 Enter [MASTER CODE]. 3 Press the [BYP] key. The [BYP] key will flash. 4 Press key [1] to set partition 1, or press key [2] to set partition 2. 5 Press and hold [SLEEP] to temporarily disable the Auto-Arm Timer.

No Movement Auto Arming

The alarm system can be programmed to arm the system and/or send a report to your monitoring station if no zone activity occurs for a pre-programmed amount of time. This is a particularly useful feature when supervising an individual with chronic health problems or for a person who lives alone. The system will bypass any open zones.

Display Mode

The K32RF has two display modes. By default, the keypad will show all events (e.g. zones in alarm, bypassed zones, etc.) live as they occur. Alternatively, the system can be programmed by your installer to only display zones that cause an alarm or entry delay. If you want to see the status of all zones, press the [ ] key. Zones that are open but have not triggered an alarm will only be displayed after pressing the [ ] key. The information will be displayed for 30 seconds (20 seconds for K37), showing the status of all zones at the time the [ ] key was pressed. The zone display will shut off after 30 seconds (20 seconds for K37). For more information on the two display modes, contact your installer.

Alarms

Alarm Display
If an alarm has occurred on a zone, the respective zone key will flash, the [MEM] key will light up, and the zones will be stored in memory. These respective keys will continue to flash until disarming even if the zones are restored. To exit this mode and switch to live display mode before disarming, press the [CLEAR] key. When the system is disarmed, the zone keys will turn off, while the [MEM] key remains lit. Press the [MEM] key to illuminate the key corresponding to the zones that were in alarm. The alarm memory will be erased when the next alarm occurs and after a valid code is entered or upon full-arming the system.
Disarming & Deactivating an Alarm
To disarm an armed system or an alarm, press [OFF] and enter your [USER CODE]. An entry point, like the front door, will be programmed with one of two Entry Delay Timers. When an entry point is opened, the keypad will beep until you disarm the system. Your alarm system will not generate an alarm until this timer elapses. Any user can disarm a partition they have been assigned to, except users assigned with the Arm Only Option or PGM Only Option. How do I disarm the system? Press [OFF] + enter [USER CODE].

Panic Alarms

In case of an emergency, the system can provide three panic alarms that can immediately generate an alarm after simultaneously pressing and holding two specific keys for three seconds. Based on your needs, these panic alarms can generate audible alarms (sirens or bells) or silent alarms and can communicate specific messages to your monitoring station. For instance, pressing [1] and [3] can mean call the police or anything you require. This feature must be set by your installer. Press and hold keys [1] and [3] for Panic type 1 (e.g. police). Press and hold keys [4] and [6] for Panic type 2 (e.g. medical). Press and hold keys [7] and [9] for Panic type 3 (e.g. fire).

Fire Alarms

Upon a fire alarm, the bell/siren will emit three squawks at 2 second intervals until silenced or reset by entering a valid user code. If the zone is a Delayed Fire Zone, there is a delay before the system contacts the monitoring station. This will prevent unnecessary reporting of false alarms. If there is no fire condition, contact your monitoring station immediately to avoid an unnecessary response. What do I do if a delayed fire zone was set off accidentally? 1 Press the [CLEAR] key within 30 seconds of the alarm. 2 Try to correct the problem. 3 If the problem persists, after 90 seconds, the alarm will sound again. Press the [CLEAR] key again.

Minimizing Fire Hazards

The three most common causes of fires: Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S. It's also the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking fires often result from unattended cooking and human error, rather than mechanical failure of stoves or ovens. Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths. Smoke detectors and smolder-resistant bedding and upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents. Heating is the second leading cause of residential fires. However, heating fires are a larger problem in single family homes than in apartments since the heating systems in single family homes are often not professionally maintained.

Fire Safety Tips

In the event of a fire, escape first, then call for help. Develop a home fire escape plan and designate a meeting place outside. Make sure everyone in the family knows two ways to escape from every room. Practice feeling your way out with your eyes closed. Never stand up in a fire, always crawl low under the smoke and try to keep

Magellan / Spectra SP 17

your mouth covered. Never return to a burning building for any reason; it may cost you your life. Finally, having at least one working smoke alarm dramatically increases your chances of surviving a fire. And remember to practice a home escape plan frequently with your family.
Providing a Fire Warning System
Household fires are especially dangerous at night. Fires produce smoke and deadly gases that can overcome occupants while they sleep. To warn against fire, smoke detectors should be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements.
Testing & Maintenance
With the system disarmed and the OFF light illuminated, activate motion detectors by walking in the protected area. Open and close protected doors and verify that the corresponding lights illuminate. Your installer can advise you of the best way to test your particular system. Do not use open flame or burning materials to test your fire detection devices. Contact your installer for safe methods of testing your system. Under normal use, your system requires virtually no maintenance other than regular testing. It is recommended that the standby battery be changed every three years. Speak to your installer about the necessary tests and how often they should be performed.

Communicating Through the Internet (IP100)
You can communicate with your security system via the internet by using a system accessory called the IP100 Internet Module (sold separately). The IP100 controls and monitors your security system remotely through any web browser. It allows for email notifications of important system events such as alarms, arm/ disarm events, and troubles. For example, receive an email at work when your kids get back from school, or if an alarm occurs in your system at home. You can also view live status of your system and arm/disarm your system. For example, you have just left your office for the weekend but are not sure you remembered to arm it. Simply check the status of your system from a laptop and arm it remotely. There is no PC software to install, as the IP100 is web-based. It uses a userfriendly web-page that puts you in control. Consult your installer or refer to the IP100 User manual for more information.
Communicating Using Text Messages (PCS100)
You can communicate with your security system using text messages (SMS) by using a system accessory called the PCS100 GSM Module (sold separately). The GSM module allows you to receive text messages of system events, such as alarms or troubles, on your cellular phone. It also allows you to send text messages to arm or disarm your system from anywhere in the world. Consult your installer for more information.

Receiving Text Messages

To receive text messages from your system you need to: Program the telephone numbers you wish to receive text notifications. Select which event groups (alarm, arm/disarm, trouble and trouble restore) will generate text messages. Select which partition the phone number is assigned to. How do I set up the GSM module to send me text messages? 1 Press the [ ] key. 2 Enter [MASTER CODE]. 3 Press [ARM]. 4 Using the [] / [SLEEP] and [] / [STAY] keys or by entering [01] to [08], select one of the eight telephone numbers you wish to program and press [ENTER].
