1.0 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Spectra Security System from
Paradox Security Systems. The Spectra Security System
will give you peace of mind by providing reliable security
protection. Although, it can do much more than that. The
Spectra System can realize your dreams of home automation
such as controlling garage doors, lights, heating, temperature
and much more. Consult your installer to take full advantage
of your Spectra system’s capabilities.
This advanced technology security system provides you with
reliable security protection and powerful features that anyone
can use without memorizing complex and confusing codes.
The system consists of the Spectra Control Panel, one or
more Spectra Keypads, various input devices (i.e. motion
detectors, door contacts, etc.) and various output devices
(i.e. bells, sirens, lights, etc.).
The elegant and user-friendly Spectra 1689 LED Keypad
and 1641 LCD Keypads allow you to easily access your
security system's functions and provide you with an easy-to-
understand display of your security system's alarm and
operational status. All the actions performed in your security
system will be executed and displayed through the keypad.
Therefore, before using your security system, we highly
recommend you read this manual carefully and have your
installer explain basic system operation to you.

2.0 BASIC OPERATION
The Spectra 1689 LED and 1641 LCD Keypads function in
the same way, but display the visual feedback differently.
This section will provide an overview of the keypads.
Many of the features in your system must be enabled
by the installer. If the feature is not programmed, the
keypad will emit a rejection beep and the action will be
cancelled. Refer to “System Checklist” in section 8.0
for details.
2.1 KEYPAD INDICATOR LIGHTS
The state of each light on the Spectra Keypads represents a
specific condition in your system as shown in Figure 2.1.

2.3 AUDITORY FEEDBACK
When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide you
with beep tones. You should be familiar with these:
Confirmation Beep: When an operation (i.e. arming/
disarming) is successfully entered on the keypad or when the
system switches to a new status/mode, the keypad produces
an intermittent beep tone (“BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).
Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to previous status
or when an operation is incorrectly entered on the keypad, it
will emit a continuous beep tone (“BEEEEEEEEP”).

2.4 ALARM MEMORY DISPLAY
All zones where alarms have occurred will be stored in
memory. The system will erase the contents of the Alarm
Memory every time the system is armed.
For Spectra 1689 LED Keypad: If an alarm
has occurred on a zone, the [MEM]symbol
will illuminate. After disarming the system,
press the [MEM]button to illuminate the
number symbols corresponding to the zones
that were in alarm. To exit the Alarm Memory
Display, press the [CLEAR] button.
For Spectra 1641 LCD Keypad: If an alarm
has occurred on a zone, “Zone(s) in Memory
[MEM]to view” will appear on the LCD
screen. After disarming the system, press the
[MEM]button. Use the [s] or [t] buttons to
view the zones that were in alarm. To exit the
Alarm Memory Display, press the [CLEAR]
button.

2.5 EVENT LIST (For Spectra 1641 LCD Keypad Only)
The Event List will record all the actions that occur in the
system.

Figure 2.4). Once you enter the Event List, the time the event
occurred and what event occurred will scroll on the screen.
As you press the [t] button, the next pair will scroll.
Figure 2.4: Example of Event Screens
How do I view the Event List?
1) Press the [MEM] button
2) Press the [FNC2] button
3) Use the [s] or [t] buttons to view the Event Screens
4) Press [CLEAR]twice to exit

2.6 TROUBLE DISPLAY
Your alarm system continuously monitors fourteen possible
trouble conditions. Most of these trouble conditions can be
reported directly to your Security Company.
We strongly suggest that you inform your Security
Company of the trouble and allow them to service
your system.
The keypad can be programmed to emit a “BEEP”
every 5 seconds whenever a new trouble condition
has occurred. Press the [TRBL]button to stop the
“Trouble Beep”.
For Spectra 1689 LED Keypad: When a
trouble condition occurs, the [TRBL]symbol
will illuminate.
How Do I Access the Trouble Display?
1) Press the [TRBL] button
The [TBL]symbol will flash and number(s)
corresponding to the trouble(s) will illuminate.
2) Read the corresponding explanation of
the trouble from the Trouble List. If no
repair instructions are given, call your
Security Company for repairs.
3) Press the [CLEAR]button to exit
