IM738-738EX Requirements and guidelines for U.L. INSTALLATIONS UL listed in accordance with standard UL1023 (Household Burglar - Alarm System Units), standard UL985 (Household Fire Warning Units) and UL1635 (Digital Alarm Communicator System Units). UL has only evaluated the 708, 728, 728 EXPRESS, 738, 738 EXPRESS, 748 and 748ES for compatibility with the Ademco model 685, FBI model CP220FB, SUR- GUARD SG-MLR2-D6 and Silent Knight model 9000.
IM738-738EX Thank you for placing your trust in the Esprit 738 EXPRESS and Esprit 738 control panels. You've cho- sen sophisticated, user-friendly control panels designed to meet all of your technological, performance and security requirements. We hope that the important features of these control panels, which include a 256-event, PC-uploadable event buffer and high-speed preprogrammed communicator formats, will simplify your task of supplying quality security service to your customers.
IM738-738EX Event Buffer and “Real Time” Clock Incorporation of a “real time” clock permits the creation of a 256 event, PC uploadable buffer with time and date. Two automatic arming options are made possible by the inclusion of the "real time" clock. Auto arming can be programmed to take place at a specific time, or following a set time period without any zone activity (auto arm and/or report only).
IM738-738EX EARTH GROUND The earth terminal should be connected to the cabinet and grounding rod as per local electrical codes. Use a 16.5VAC (50-60 Hz) transformer with a minimum 40VA rating to pro- vide sufficient AC power. Do not utilize any switch-controlled outlets to power the transformer.
IM738-738EX KEYPAD CONNECTIONS Panel/keypad connection: The four keypad connections labeled "red", "black", "green" and "yellow" should be connected to the corresponding colour terminals on the control panel PC board. Keypad zone connection: The two connections labeled "zone" and "com" are used to connect a zone to the keypad.
IM738-738EX TAMPER/WIRE FAULT DEFINITIONS AND OPTIONS When using 2 zone resistors, the panel offers four possible definitions for tamper/wiring recognition, independent of zone definition. "Tamper/wire” disabled (Address 088, Key [10] "off", Key [11] "off") Tamper/wiring failure recognition is disabled. (Not allowed by UL listed systems, must be enabled.) "Trouble"...

IM738-738EX DTMF - no handshake ] key) TRBL All addresses from 300 to 527 programmed with values other than [2 ] [2 ] will report the contact ID codes corresponding to the values programmed (according to the “Contact ID Event Code Selection” table in the Programming Guide).
Note: For other PGM operations, use Espload software by programming the desired PGM function and pressing F8 to see the keypad programming codes and address. If other programming options are needed, fax your requests to Paradox Technical Support at 514-491-2313. Special Timing Functions 3 Digit Decimal Value Programming Decimal programming is used to program addresses 044 to 061.
IM738-738EX Operational note regarding special timing functions The time programmed at addresses 044 and 045 can be used to: • Transmit “Late to Close” code, address 516 (SECTION 65), if the system is not armed by a specified time. • Auto-arm the system and if programmed, transmit the arming code at address 300 (SECTION 11) after transmitting the “Late to Close”...
IM738-738EX PGM Timer Setting (Address 056) Range 001-127 sec. or 1 minute (enter 129) 127 minutes (enter 255). (Add required number of minutes to 128) i.e. For 5 minutes = 128 + 5 = 133 For 127 minutes = 128 + 127 = 255 Applies to PGM 1 and 2 if selected at address 039.
IM738-738EX Arming using PS1 or keyswitch (Address 086, key [2] and key [3]) The PS1 bedside remote arming module or keyswitch can be used to stay arm, full arm, or disarm the system. The PS1 keyswitch is enabled at address 086, key [3]. Key [2] "off": PS1 or keyswitch "regular"...

IM738-738EX To establish communication, the communicator takes the telephone line and waits for a dial tone. If a dial tone is identified, the communicator will dial the first central station telephone number. If a connection is made, system report will take place and the communicator will hang up upon completion. If for any rea- son, communication is interrupted, the communicator will dial the 2nd central telephone number and report only the events that were not reported during the interrupted attempt.

IM738-738EX transmitted, or if after two attempts, communication is not established, the system will wait until the event buffer is full, before attempt to communicate with the central again. If communication is established, the system will then proceed to report the contents of the event buffer to the PC.
IM738-738EX “Associated zone” deactivation (738 only) (Address 090, key [1]) Key = “on”: Disables burglary alarm zone associated with fire zone. Wire fault on the fire zone (fire trou- ble) will not cause an alarm on the associated burglary zone. Panel Fire Zone Associated zone...

IM738-738EX All report codes are assigned to a system account, whether or not partitioning is activated. Arm/disarm reports are assigned to System "A" when partitioning is "off", or to the system account to which they belong, based on code priority assignment, when partitioning is activated. Trouble and special report codes are always assigned to System "A".
IM738-738EX Partial arming Will be reported to the central if the control panel is armed while any zones are bypassed or when the system is force armed and stay armed.
