2 Reference & Installation Manual
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 1759MG in the basement.
Do not cut, bend or alter the antennae and ensure that electrical wires do not cross over the antennae as these
may affect the signal reception.
2.2 Earth Ground
Connect the zone and dialer ground terminals from the control panel to the metallic enclosure and cold water pipe or grounding
rod as per local electrical codes.
For maximum lightning protection, use separate earth grounds for the zone and dialer grounds as shown in
Figure 2 on page 3. For UL installations, the metallic enclosure must be grounded to the cold water pipe.
2.3 AC Power
Do not use any switch-controlled outlets to power the transformer. Connect the transformer as shown in Figure 1 on page 2. Use
Table 1 to determine the required transformer.
2.4 Backup Battery
To provide power during a power loss, connect a 12Vdc 4Ah rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell backup battery as shown in Figure 1
on page 2. Use a 7Ah battery to comply with UL fire requirements. Connect the backup battery after applying AC power. When
installing, verify proper polarity as reversed connections will blow the battery fuse. Also, refer to Battery Charge Current on page 36.
2.4.1 Battery Test
If the battery is disconnected or if the battery fuse is blown, a No/Low Battery failure will appear in the keypad’s trouble
display (see page 42). This trouble will also appear if the battery’s capacity is too low or if the voltage drops to 10.5V or
lower while the control panel is running on the backup battery. At 8.5V or lower, the panel shuts down and all outputs
close.

4 Reference & Installation Manual
2.5 Auxiliary Power Terminals*
The auxiliary power supply terminals can be used to power motion detectors, keypads and other modules or accessories in the
security system. A fuseless circuit protects the power supply against current overload and automatically shuts down if the current
exceeds 1.1A. If this occurs, the Maximum Auxiliary Current failure will appear in the keypad’s trouble display (see page 42).
Therefore, the combined current consumption of devices connected to the auxiliary power supply should not exceed 700mA. If
the auxiliary output is overloaded and is shut down, you must disconnect all loads from the output for at least 10 seconds before
reconnecting any load back to the auxiliary output.
Modules with the APR- prefix are compatible with the Spectra 1759MG and DGP-848. Modules with the APR3- prefix are
compatible with the Spectra 1759MG, DGP-848 and DGP-NE96.
2.6 Telephone Line Connection
In order to report system events to the monitoring station, you must connect the incoming telephone company wires into the TIP
and RING connections of the control panel and then run the wires from T1 and R1 to the telephone or telephone system as
shown in Figure 2 on page 3.
2.7 Bell Output Connection
The BELL+ and BELL- terminals power bells, sirens and other warning devices requiring a steady voltage output during an alarm.
The bell output supplies 12Vdc upon alarm and can support one 30-watt or two 20-watt sirens. The bell output uses a fuseless
circuit and will automatically shut down if the current exceeds 3A. When this occurs the Maximum Bell Current failure will only
appear in the keypad’s trouble display (see page 42) during an alarm. If the load on the BELL terminals returns to normal, the
control panel will re-instate power to the BELL terminals during the next alarm. When connecting sirens, please verify correct
polarity. Connect the positive lead to the BELL+ terminal and the negative lead to the BELL- terminal of the control panel as
shown in Figure 2 on page 3.
If the BELL output is not being used, the Bell Disconnected failure will remain in the keypad’s trouble display
(see page 42). To avoid this connect a 1KΩ resistor across the BELL terminals.
2.8 Programmable Output Connections*
When a specific event occurs in the system, a PGM can reset smoke detectors, activate strobe lights, open/close garage doors
and much more.
2.8.1 Alarm Relay and PGMs
The Spectra 1759MG control panel includes two on-board programmable outputs (PGMs). For details on how to
program the PGM, refer to PGM Programming on page 34. PGM1 can support up to 150mA while PGM2 supports up
to 1A (see Figure 3 on page 5) and can be used as a strobe output (see page 35). The PGMs are limited by the power
source being used. If powered by:
•The AUX terminals. The current consumption of the AUX terminals cannot exceed 700mA. Therefore, whatever
devices are connected to the AUX terminals (i.e. modules and PGMs) cannot exceed 700mA combined. For
example, if there are six modules connected to the AUX terminals that are using 600mA and you wish to power the
PGM using the AUX terminals, the PGM’s current consumption cannot exceed 100mA.
•An external power supply. If using an external power supply, the current consumption cannot exceed 150mA for
PGM1 and 1A for PGM2. If the external power supply’s current consumption limit is less than that of the PGM it is
connected to, than the current consumption will not exceed the power supply’s current limit.
The Spectra 1759MG control panel also has a 5A relay. This relay can be connected as shown in Figure 3 on page 5.
The Alarm Relay can be programmed to follow the bell output or the activation and deactivation of the Global PGM
(see Alarm Relay Options on page 35).
* UL Note: The AUX and PGM terminals cannot exceed 200mA for UL installations.

Figure 3: Relay and PGM Connections
2.9 Single Zone Inputs
Detection devices such as motion detectors and door contacts are connected to the control panel's zone input terminals. Figure 4
demonstrates single zone input terminal connections recognized by Spectra. Once connected, the associated zone's parameters
must be defined. For details refer to Zone Programming on page 12.
Figure 4: Single Zone Input Connections
2.10 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 Figure 2 on page 3. There is no limit to the number of
keypads that can be connected to the control panel as long as the current consumption does not surpass 700mA*. See Keypad
Tamper Supervision on page 37.
Each keypad has one zone input terminal, allowing you to connect one motion detector or door contact directly to a keypad. The
Alarm Relay (5A) can be
programmed to follow the
BELL output or the Global
PGM.

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 on page 12. Also, refer to the feature Reassign Keypad Zone 2 on page 12.
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.
Figure 5: Keypad Zone Connections
When a 1641 LCD keypad is connected to the 1759MG, the Keypad Zone Sending option (Option [2] key [1]) determines
whether the status of the keypad zone will be transmitted to the control panel. The Keypad Zone Sending option of the
1641 keypad must be enabled during the following conditions:
• If you are using both keypad zones and at least one is from a 1641 keypad.
• If you are using the keypad zones of other types of keypads, such as a 1686H 10-zone LED keypad, and the
keypad zone definition of the 1641 keypad (keypad zone 1 or keypad zone 2; Option [2] key [3]) matches that of
another connected keypad.
2.11 Keyswitch Connections
Keyswitches allow users to arm or disarm a partition by pushing a button or by activating a
switch with a key. Connect the keyswitch (as shown in Figure 6) directly to the control panel
terminals. Once a keyswitch is connected, it must be assigned to a zone and its
parameters must be programmed (see Zone Programming on page 12 and Keyswitch
Options on page 17).
2.12 Fire Circuits
When a zone is programmed as a fire zone, the zone becomes normally open and requires an
EOL resistor. If a line short occurs or if the smoke detector becomes active, whether the
system is armed or disarmed, the control panel will generate an alarm. If a trouble occurs on a
fire zone, the Fire Loop Trouble will appear in the keypad’s trouble display (see page 42) and
the control panel can transmit the Fire Loop Trouble report, if programmed, in section [206].
2.12.1 4-Wire Installation:
Any on-board zone can be defined as a fire zone (see page 13) when using the 4-
wire installation. Connect the smoke detectors (as shown in Figure 7) directly to the
control panel terminals. Program the PGM with the “[PG]/[FNC1] Key was Pressed”
Activation Event (see page 34) so the smoke detectors can be reset by pressing the
[PG] or [FNC1] key. Pressing the [PG] or [FNC1] key will interrupt power to the smoke
detectors for 4 seconds (see PGM Delay on page 35).
It is recommended that all smoke detectors be connected using a daisy chain
configuration.
Do not place a jumper across the zone and
“BLK” input terminals of the keypads that
are not using their keypad zones.

Part 4: Access Codes
The Spectra 1759MG control panel supports the following access codes:
4.1 Access Code Length
Section [127]: System Options
Option [2] OFF = 6-Digit Access Codes
Option [2] ON = 4-Digit Access Codes (default)
All access codes can be set to lengths of either 4- or 6-digits. When the 4-digit option is selected, entering a 4-digit code will allow
access. Using the 6-digit option, entering 6 digits is required to allow access.
If the access code length is changed from four digits to six digits when access codes have already been
programmed, the control panel will automatically add the last 2 digits by using the first 2 digits. For example, if
the access code is 1234 and you switch to 6 digits, the code will become 123412. Be sure to verify the access
codes after switching from 4-digit access codes to 6-digit codes. When switching from six digits to four digits, the
control panel will simply remove the final two digits of the access code. For example, 123456 will become 1234.
4.2 Installer Code (Default: 0000 / 000000)
The Installer Code is used to enter the 1759MG‘s programming mode (see page 7), which allows you to program all the features,
options and commands of the control panel. The Installer Code can be 4- or 6-digits in length (see Access Code Length on
page 10) where each digit can be any value from 0 to 9. The Installer Code cannot be used to program Master Code 1, Master
Code 2 or user access codes. To program the Installer Code press:
[ENTER] + [CURRENT INSTALLER CODE] + [281] + new 4- or 6-digit Installer Code
4.3 System Master Code (Default: 1234 / 123456)
The Installer Code can be used to program the System Master Code. With the System Master Code a user can use any arming
method and can program any user access code, but not the User Code Options. The System Master Code can be 4 or 6 digits in
length Access Code Length on page 10, where each digit can be any digit from 0 to 9. To change the System Master Code press:
[ENTER] + [INSTALLER CODE] + [301] + new 4- or 6-digit System Master Code
4.4 User Code Options

station, transmitting the duress report code programmed in section [196].
12 Reference & Installation Manual
Part 5: Zone Programming
When programming zones, the zone assignments are dependent on where the detection devices are connected to in the system (see Table
4). In installations that require using mostly the expansion inputs (see section 5.1), refer to Reassign Keypad Zone 2 on page 12 and
Reassign Zones to Expansion Inputs on page 13. Table 4: Zone Recognition Table
5.1 What is an Expansion Input?
An expansion input allows you to connect modules to the system to increase the number of zones available up to 15 zones. Each
hardwired input on a zone expansion bus module or wireless transmitter can be assigned to an expansion input. The expansion
inputs can be used in any combination. For example, 5 wireless transmitters and 3 hardwire inputs can be assigned to the
expansion inputs. Spectra control panels cannot support more than eight expansion inputs. Refer to the appropriate module’s
Instruction Sheet for details.
Do not assign inputs from different modules to the same expansion input.
5.2 Reassign Keypad Zone 2
Section [126]: General Options
Option [7] OFF = Reassign Keypad Zone 2 Disabled (default)
Option [7] ON = Reassign Keypad Zone 2 Enabled
In installations that require using mostly the expansion inputs, such as using wireless zones, 10-Zone LED keypads may be
unable to display some of the zones. The Reassign Keypad Zone 2 feature changes the zone numbering to increase the number
of expansion inputs that are displayed on 10-Zone LED keypads. Combine with the Reassign Zones to Expansion Inputs feature
(see page 13) to increase the number of displayable expansion inputs. See Table 4 for Zone Recognition.
When Reassign Keypad Zone 2 is enabled, the Keypad Tamper Supervision (see page 37) for Keypad Zone 2 is
lost. Keypad Tamper Supervision will ONLY function on Keypad Zone 1.

Option [8] ON = Reassign Zones to Expansion Inputs Enabled
In installations that require using mostly the expansion inputs, such as using wireless zones, 10-Zone LED keypads may be
unable to display some of the zones. The Reassign Zones to Expansion Inputs feature changes the zone numbering to increase
the number of expansion inputs that are displayed on 10-Zone LED keypads. Combine with the Reassign Keypad Zone 2 feature
(refer to Reassign Keypad Zone 2 on page 12) to increase the number of displayable expansion inputs. See Table 4 on page 12
for the Zone Recognition.
5.4 Zone Programming
After connecting a hardwired detection device to one of the control panel's or zone expansion bus module’s input terminals or
after setting up any wireless transmitters, define the associated zone's parameters. The zone parameters define the type of zone,
the zone's partition assignment and how the control panel will react when an alarm condition occurs on that zone. These zone
parameters are programmed into one section as detailed in Figure 10 on page 13.
See Table 4 on page 12 for the Zone Number Recognition.
Only the control panel’s on-board inputs can be defined as a fire, delayed fire or a keyswitch zone. The on-board
zones are zones 01 to 05.
Figure 10: Spectra Zone Programming
5.5 Zone Definitions
As demonstrated in Figure 10, sections [001] to [015] represent zones 1 through 15 respectively, where the first digit in each of
these sections represents the zone's definition. Also, refer to Zone Speed on page 17. To disable a zone, clear the contents of the
section corresponding to the desired zone by pressing the [FORCE] key 3 times and pressing [ENTER]. There are 9 available Zone
Definitions, which are described as follows.

5.5.1 Entry Delay 1
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15, First Digit = 1
When the system is armed and a zone defined with Entry Delay 1 opens, the control panel will generate an alarm after
the programmed Entry Delay 1 Timer elapses. This is to provide users with enough time to enter the protected area
and disarm the system. To program the Entry Delay 1 Timer, key in the desired 3-digit delay value (000 to 255
seconds, Default = 45 seconds) into section [069]. Entry delay zones are commonly used at the entry/exit points of the
protected area (i.e. front/back door, garage, etc.). Using different entry delays (see Entry Delay 2 on page 14) is useful
when, for example, one entry point requires a longer delay than the other entry point or in a partitioned system where
each partition may require a different entry delay.
5.5.2 Entry Delay 2
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15, First Digit = 2
Entry Delay 2 zones are identical to the Entry Delay 1 zones (see section 5.5.1), except it uses a separate entry delay
timer. To program the Entry Delay 2 Timer, key in the desired 3-digit delay value (000 to 255 seconds, Default = 45
seconds) into section [070].
This timer is also used as the Stay Delay timer (see Stay Arming with Delay on page 22).
5.5.3 Follow Zones
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15, First Digit = 3
When an armed Follow Zone opens, the control panel will immediately generate an alarm, unless an entry delay zone
opens first:
• If an armed Follow Zone opens after an entry delay zone opens, the control panel waits until the entry delay timer
has elapsed before generating an alarm.
• If an armed Follow Zone opens after more than one entry delay zone opens, the control panel will wait until the
entry delay timer of the zone that opened first has elapsed.
This feature is commonly used when a motion detector is protecting the area occupied by the entry point keypad. This
will prevent the motion detector from causing an alarm when a user enters through the entry point to disarm the
system.
5.5.4 Instant Zones
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15, First Digit = 4
When an armed Instant Zone opens, the control panel immediately generates an alarm. Instant Zones are commonly
used for windows, patio doors, skylights and other perimeter type zones.
5.5.5 24Hr Burglary Zones
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15, First Digit = 5
Whenever a 24Hr Burglary Zone opens, whether the system is armed or disarmed, the control panel will immediately
generate an alarm.
5.5.6 24Hr Buzzer
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15, First Digit = 6
Whenever a 24Hr Buzzer Zone opens, whether the zone is armed or disarmed, the control panel sets off the keypad’s
buzzers to indicate that the zone was breached. The control panel will report the alarm, but will not enable the bell/
siren output. Enter any valid access code on the keypad to stop the buzzer. This zone definition is particularly useful
when a user wishes to be notified when something such as a safe or locker within the home has been accessed
(i.e. a child accessing a valuable collection).
5.6 Exclusive Zone Definitions
The following three zone definitions can only be used for devices connected directly to the control panel’s on-board input
terminals. When a zone is programmed as a keyswitch zone, the control panel will ignore all other Zone Options. When a zone is
programmed as a standard fire zone or delayed fire zone, the control panel will ignore the Zone Options that may have been
programmed, except Auto Zone Shutdown. Wireless devices and devices connected to the zone expansion bus modules cannot
be programmed with these definitions.
5.6.1 Keyswitch Zone
Sections [001] to [005]: Zones 1 to 5, First Digit = 7
Connecting a keyswitch to a zone allows users to arm the system by pressing a button or by turning a switch on or off
with a key. Please refer to Keyswitch Connections on page 6 and Keyswitch Options on page 17.
Spectra 1759MG 15
5.6.2 Standard 24Hr Fire Zone
Sections [001] to [005]: Zones 1 to 5, First Digit = 8
Whenever a Standard 24Hr Fire Zone opens, whether it is armed or disarmed, the control panel will generate the
following:
• The control panel can send the corresponding Alarm report code from sections [187] to [190].
• If a tamper/wiring fault occurs on a fire zone, the control panel can send a Fire Loop Trouble report code
programmed in section [206] to the monitoring station. The keypad will display a Fire Loop Trouble in its trouble
display (see page 42).
• Alarms are always audible regardless of other settings. Fire alarms generate an intermittent (pulsed) bell/siren
output signal as shown in Figure 11 on page 15.
For information on how to connect smoke detectors to the control panel, refer to Fire Circuits on page 6.
5.6.3 Delayed Fire Zone
Sections [001] to [005]: Zones 1 to 5, First Digit = 9
When a Delayed 24Hr Fire Zone opens, whether it is armed or disarmed, the control panel will react as shown in
Figure 12 on page 15. Delayed 24Hr Fire Zones are commonly used in residential homes where a smoke detector
often generates false alarms (i.e. burning bread, etc.).
5.7 Programming a Wireless Fire Zone
Fire zones cannot be assigned to expansion zones. As a result, when
installing a wireless smoke detector, the corresponding zone must be
programmed as follows:
5.8 Zone Partition Assignment
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15
The control panel provides the option of partitioning the security system
into two completely independent systems. As demonstrated in Figure 10
on page 13, sections [001] to [015] represent zones 1 through 15
respectively, where the second digit in each of these sections represents
the zone's partition assignment. The zone is assigned to Partition 1 if
second digit = 1, Partition 2 if second digit = 2, or both partitions is
second digit = 3. For more details, refer to Partitioning on page 36.
How Do I Program a Wireless Fire Zone?
1) Enter [5] in the Zone Definition to define it as a 24Hr Burglary
Alarm (see page 14).
2) Disable [4] and enable [5] in Zone Options to set the zone’s alarm
type to a pulsed Audible Alarm (see Figure 10 on page 13).
3) Disable [1] and [2] in Zone Options to disable the zone’s Auto
Zone Shutdown and Bypass Enabled features (see Figure 10 on
page 13).
4) Change the zone’s report code from a Burglary report code (Prog.
Value 11) to a Fire report code (Prog. Value 04). If using Ademco
Contact I.D., set the Contact ID Options from All Codes to
Programmable (section [136] option [3] = OFF) and then enter the
report code manually. See Spectra 1759MG Programming Guide
for more information.

5.9 Zone Options
As demonstrated in Figure 10 on page 13, sections [001] to [015] represent zones 1 through 15 respectively. After entering the first
two digits, select one or more of the following Zone Options by using the Multiple Feature Select Programming Method (see page 7):
5.9.1 Auto Zone Shutdown
Sections [001] to [015] = Zones 1 to 15
Option [1] OFF = Auto Zone Shutdown Disabled
Option [1] ON = Auto Zone Shutdown Enabled for
selected zone (default)
If, in a single armed period, the number of alarms generated by a zone with the Auto Zone Shutdown option enabled
exceeds the number defined by the Auto Zone Shutdown Counter, the control panel will no longer generate an alarm
for that zone. To program the Auto Zone Shutdown Counter, key in the desired limit (000=Disabled, 001 to 015, Default
= 5) into section [089]. The Auto Zone Shutdown Counter resets every time the partition that is assigned to the
corresponding zone is armed.
5.9.2 Bypass Zones
Sections [001] to [015] = Zones 1 to 15
Option [2] OFF = Bypass Zone Disabled
Option [2] ON = Selected Zone is Bypass Enabled (default)
When a user utilizes the Bypass Programming feature (see page 44), only zones with the Bypass option enabled can
be programmed as bypassed.
Do not program a fire zone with the Bypass option, as the control panel will never bypass fire zones.
5.9.3 Stay Zones
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15
Option [3] OFF = Stay Zone Disabled (default)
Option [3] ON = Selected Zone is Stay Enabled
Zones with the Stay option enabled will be bypassed when the system is Stay Armed (see page 44).
Do not program a fire zone with the Stay option, as the control panel will never bypass fire zones when
Stay arming.
5.9.4 Alarm Types
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15
[4] OFF / [5] OFF: Audible Steady (default)
When the conditions for an alarm have been met, the control panel can transmit the appropriate Zone Alarm report
code (see page 28) and provides a steady output for any bells or sirens connected to the control panel’s bell output.
[4] OFF / [5] ON: Audible Pulsed Alarm
When the conditions for an alarm have been met, the control panel can transmit the appropriate Zone Alarm report
code (see page 28) and provides a pulsed output (see Figure 11 on page 15) for any bells or sirens connected to the
control panel’s bell output.
[4] ON / [5] OFF: Silent Alarm
When the conditions for an alarm are met, the control panel can transmit the appropriate Zone Alarm report code (see
page 28) and will not activate the control panel’s bell output. The appropriate ARM or STATUS LED on the keypads will
flash to indicate an alarm and the user will still have to disarm the system.
[4] ON / [5] ON: Report Only
When the conditions for an alarm have been met, the control panel can transmit the appropriate Zone Alarm report
code (see page 28). The system will not have to be disarmed.
5.9.5 Intellizone
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15
Option [6] OFF = Intellizone Disabled (default)
Option [6] ON = Intellizone Enabled for Selected Zone
This feature reduces the possibility of false alarms. When a zone with the Intellizone option opens, the panel does not
immediately generate an alarm. First it triggers the Intellizone Delay Timer. To program the Intellizone Delay Timer, key
in the desired 3-digit value (010 to 255 seconds, Default = 48 seconds) into section [084]. If any of the following
conditions occur during this period, the panel will generate an alarm:
• During the Intellizone Delay, a second zone has caused an alarm.
• During the Intellizone Delay, the zone in alarm has restored (closed) and re-occurred (opened).
• The zone in alarm remains open for the entire Intellizone Delay.

Option [7] ON = Delay Alarm Transmission Enabled for Selected Zone
When an alarm condition occurs on a zone with this option enabled, the control panel enables the bell/siren output, but
does not report the alarm to the monitoring station until the end of the Alarm Before Transmission Delay. To program
the Alarm Transmission Delay, key in the desired 3-digit delay value (000 = Disabled, 001 to 255 seconds) into section
[080]. During this period, disarming the system disables the bell/siren output and cancels the report code transmission.
This feature is commonly used with entry delay zones to reduce false alarms created by new users who may not
disarm the system in time.
5.9.7 Force Zones
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15
Option [8] OFF = Force Zone Disabled (default)
Option [8] ON = Selected Zone is Force Enabled
Any open Force Zones at the time of arming will be considered deactivated by the control panel (see page 44). If
during this period a deactivated zone is closed, the control panel will revert that zone to active status. Consequently,
the control panel will generate an alarm if the zone is breached.
Do not program a fire zone with the Force option, as the control panel will never bypass fire zones
when Force arming.
5.9.8 Keyswitch Options
Sections [001] to [005]: Option [1] and [2]
When an on-board zone is programmed as a keyswitch zone (see page 14), the control panel will ignore any other
Zone Option. The keyswitch can be programmed as a Maintained or Momentary Keyswitch and to Regular or Stay arm
(see page 44). A Maintained Keyswitch will arm the system when it is set to the ON position and will disarm when set to
the OFF position. To arm with a Momentary Keyswitch, set the keyswitch to the ON position then turn it back to the OFF
position. Repeating this sequence will disarm the system. Program the keyswitch with the following:
5.10 Zone Speed
Sections [050] to [064]: Zones 1 to 15
001 to 255 X 10ms, Default = 600ms
The Zone Speed defines how quickly the control panel will respond to an open zone. The control panel will not display an open
zone on the keypad or generate an alarm until the programmed Zone Speed has elapsed. All other zone definitions and options
do not come into effect until the Zone Speed has elapsed. This feature prevents any momentary glitches from causing an alarm
or unnecessary reporting.
5.11 EOL Zones
Section [132]: Zone Options
Option [4] OFF = Zones do not use EOL resistors (default)
Option [4] ON = Zones require EOL resistors
If all detection devices connected to the control panel have input terminals that require 1KΩ end of line resistors, enable option
[4] in section [132]. For details on using EOL resistors, refer to Single Zone Inputs on page 5.
Option [1] OFF = Maintained (default) Option [2] OFF = Regular Arming (default)
Option [1] ON = Momentary Option [2] ON = Stay Arming

Part 6: Wireless Features
The Spectra 1759MG allows for the addition of up to eight fully supervised Magellan wireless transmitters, and up to eight programmable
remote controls. To program a wireless fire zone, refer to Programming a Wireless Fire Zone on page 15.
6.1 Wireless Transmitter Programming
The programming of the wireless transmitters (detectors and door contacts) is accomplished in two steps:
1. Assign the wireless transmitter to the Spectra 1759MG.
2. Program the zones.
6.1.1 Assigning Wireless Transmitters to the Receiver
Sections [601] to [608]
Sections [601] to [608] represent expansion inputs 1 to 8 respectively. For example, section [601] is assigned to
expansion input 1, section [602] is assigned to expansion input 2, etc. (refer to Table 5). Each Expansion Input
represents a specific zone in the Spectra 1759MG system (see Table 4 on page 12).
Do not assign detection devices from different modules to the same expansion input. For example, do
not assign a wireless transmitter to section [601] and then connect a detection device to input Z1 of the
APR3-ZX8.
The serial number is located on the inside of the transmitter or you can use the Serial Number Display (see
page 19) to determine its serial number.
The transmitters must be activated once having been assigned to the Spectra 1759MG. To activate a
transmitter, insert the batteries and close the cover. To ensure proper synchronization between the control
panel and the transmitter, open and close the zone corresponding to the transmitter.
6.1.2 Deleting Assigned Wireless Transmitters
Sections [601] to [608]
6.1.3 Programming the Zones
The zones allocated to the wireless transmitters must be programmed. Refer to Zone Programming on page 12 for

6.2 Viewing the Wireless Transmitter Signal Strength
Sections [631] to [638]
Once wireless transmitters have been installed and assigned to the Spectra 1759MG, the signal strength of each transmitter can
be verified in sections [631] to [638]. Each section represents the signal strength viewer for a specific device. For example,
section [631] is the viewer for the device in section [601] and section [638] is the viewer for the device in section [608]. Please
note that this feature only works with wireless transmitters assigned to an Expansion Input (zone) as described in Assigning
Wireless Transmitters to the Receiver on page 18. A reading of 1 is the weakest and a reading of 8 is the strongest. An average
reading of 3 or higher is acceptable. Sometimes moving the transmitter or control panel by a small amount will greatly increase
the signal reception.
After entering the desired section, ignore the first reading as it will not be accurate.
You can also use a beep sequence feature to verify a transmitter’s signal strength. When you press a transmitter’s anti-tamper
switch, beep tones emanating from all the keypads connected to the communication bus will advise you of the transmitter’s signal
strength.
This feature cannot be used with any remote controls assigned to the control panel.

20 Reference & Installation Manual
Option [1] enables the Check-in Supervision feature. The Spectra 1759MG waits for each of its assigned wireless
transmitters to send a status signal within a specified time period (as programmed in Check-in Supervision Timer
Settings on page 20) to confirm their presence and functionality. If a device has not sent a signal within that time
period, the Spectra 1759MG can generate a trouble, an alarm, and/or transmit a report code to the monitoring station
(refer to Wireless Transmitter Supervision Options on page 39).
6.4.2 Check-in Supervision Timer Settings
Section [610]: Supervision Options
Option [2] OFF = Check-in supervision interval is every 24 hours (default)
Option [2] ON = Check-in supervision interval is every 80 minutes
Option [2] defines the time period that the control panel will expect a check-in status signal from its assigned wireless
transmitters. For example, if the timer is set to 80 minutes (option [2] = ON), the control panel will expect a check-in
status signal to be sent from its assigned wireless transmitters every 80 minutes. If the Spectra 1759MG does not
receive a signal from one of its wireless transmitters within the period of time defined here, it can then generate a
trouble, an alarm, and/or can transmit a report code to the monitoring station (refer to Wireless Transmitter Supervision
Options on page 39). Refer to Check-in Supervision on page 19 for instructions on enabling check-in supervision.
6.4.3 Tamper Supervision
Section [610]: Supervision Options
Option [8] OFF = Tamper Supervision disabled (default)
Option [8] ON = Tamper Supervision enabled
When the control panel detects a tamper or wire fault on a zone or on an expansion module, the control panel can
generate an alarm and/or trouble, unless the Tamper Supervision is disabled.
6.4.4 Low Battery Supervision
When the battery voltage of a wireless transmitter (motion detector or door contact) drops below a certain value, the
Spectra 1759MG will send a low battery report code to the monitoring station, and a trouble will appear in the keypad’s
trouble display.
Section [129] option [6] must be enabled in order for Low Battery Supervision to work. For more
information, refer to Wireless Transmitter Low Battery Supervision on page 39.
6.5 Remote Control Programming
The Spectra 1759MG accepts up to eight fully programmable remote controls. Programming the remote controls is accomplished
in three steps:
1) Assign the remote controls to the Spectra 1759MG control panel.
2) Assign the remote controls to user access codes.
3) Program the buttons on the remote controls.

Part 7: Arming and Disarming Options
7.1 Switch To Stay Arming
Section [133]: Partition 1, Section [134] = Partition 2
Option [4] OFF = Switch to Stay Arming Disabled (default)
Option [4] ON = Switch to Stay Arming Enabled
If a user Regular arms a partition, but does not exit through (open and close) an entry delay zone during the exit delay, the control
panel can be programmed to switch from Regular arming to Stay arming.
7.2 Stay Arming with Delay
Section [133]: Partition 1, Section [134] = Partition 2
Option [5] OFF = Stay Arming with Delay Disabled (default)
Option [5] ON = Stay Arming with Delay Enabled
If a partition is Stay armed when this feature is enabled, all the zones in the partition, except 24Hr zones and Stay zones, are
associated with the Stay Delay. Therefore, the control panel will not generate an alarm if a zone is breached until the Stay Delay
has elapsed. This feature prevents false alarms by allowing users enough time to disarm their system if a zone is accidentally
triggered. For example, if a user opens an armed window or crosses an armed detector on the way to the kitchen in the middle of
the night, the user will have enough time to disarm the system before the alarm is generated. Each partition’s Stay Delay follows
the value programmed in Entry Delay Timer 2 in section [070].

Section [131]: Arming/Disarming Options
Option [2] OFF = Regular Arming Switches to Force Arming Disabled (default)
Option [2] ON = Regular Arming Switches to Force Arming Enabled
With this feature enabled, the control panel will always Force arm instead of Regular arm when a valid user access code with the
Force Arming Option is entered. In installations where the user must always Force arm when leaving the protected area, this
feature allows users to Force arm without pressing the [FORCE] key before entering their user access code.
Force arming cannot be done using a keyswitch. Force arming is not supported by keyswitches.
7.4 Restrict Arming on Battery Fail
Section [130]: Arming/Disarming Options
Option [5] OFF = Permit arming on battery failure (default)
Option [5] ON = Restrict arming on battery failure
If this option is enabled, the control panel will not arm the system if the control panel detects that the backup battery is
disconnected, that its fuse is blown, or that the battery voltage drops to less than 10.5V. The control panel will not arm the system
until all battery trouble conditions are rectified.
7.5 Restrict Arming on Tamper Failure
Section [130]: Arming/Disarming Options
Option [6] OFF = Permit arming on tamper failure (default)
Option [6] ON = Restrict arming on tamper failure
If this option is enabled, the control panel will not arm the system if the control panel detects a tamper trouble on one or more
zones. The control panel will not arm the system until all tamper trouble conditions are rectified.
This feature will not function if the Tamper Recognition Options (see page 25) are disabled or whenever the
tampered zone is bypassed and the Tamper Bypass Options (see page 26) have been enabled.
7.6 Timed Auto-Arming
Section [133] = Partition 1, [134] = Partition 2
Option [1] OFF = Timed Auto-Arming Disabled (default)
Option [1] ON = Timed Auto-Arming Enabled
Each partition can be programmed to arm every day at the time specified by the Auto-arm Timer. The Auto-arming Options (see
page 24) determine the partition's arming method. Any open zones detected when a partition is Auto-Armed will be bypassed
regardless of their definition (except 24Hr zones). The control panel will enter a 60-second exit delay period before arming the
system. At this point, Auto-arming can be cancelled by entering a valid access code. Once the partition has successfully armed,
the control panel can transmit the Timed Auto-arming report code programmed in section [172].
Example: To automatically arm partition 2 everyday at 6:15PM, enable Timed Auto-arming for partition 2 by turning on option [1]
in section [134]. Then key in 18:15 into section [112].
7.6.1 Auto-Arm Timer
Section [111] = Partition 1, [112] = Partition 2
Select the section corresponding to the desired partition and program the time (use the 24-hour clock i.e. 6:30PM =
18:30) that you wish the control panel to attempt to arm the selected partition and/or send the Late to Close report code.
7.7 No Movement Auto-Arming
Section [133] = Partition 1, [134] = Partition 2
Option [2] OFF = No Movement Auto-Arming Disabled (default)
Option [2] ON = No Movement Auto-Arming Enabled
If no movement occurs in a partition's protected area for the period specified by the No Movement Timer (see page 24), the
control panel can automatically arm that partition. The Auto-arming Option described on page 24 of this manual determines the
partition's arming method. Any open zones detected when a partition is Auto-armed will be bypassed regardless of their definition
(except 24Hr zones). Upon arming, the control panel will transmit the No Movement report code if programmed in section [172].
Regardless of whether the system was successfully armed or not, the control panel will always transmit the No Movement report
code if programmed in section [172]. If No Movement Auto-arming is disabled, the control panel will still send the No Movement
report code at the time specified by the No Movement Timer.
Example: To arm partition 1 whenever there is no movement for a period of 4 hours, enable No Movement Auto-arming for
partition 1 by turning on the [2] Option in section [133]. Then in section [075] enter 016 (16x15min = 240min = 4 hours).

Part 9: Reporting and Dialer settings
The following section explains all the features and options that must be programmed in order for your security system to properly report
system events to a monitoring station. When an event (e.g. zone in alarm) occurs in the system, the control panel verifies if a report code
was programmed in the section corresponding to the event (except Ademco Contact ID “All Codes”). If a report code was programmed, the
control panel will dial the monitoring station telephone number defined by the Event Call Direction feature. When the monitoring station
answers, the control panel will transmit the System Account Code, followed by the programmed report code.

9.3 Monitoring Station Telephone Numbers
Section [151] = Phone#1, [152] = Phone#2, [153] = Backup Phone#: Up to 32 digits
The 1759MG control panel can dial up to 2 different monitoring station telephone numbers. You can enter any digit from 0 to 9
and any special keys or functions (see Table 8) up to a maximum of 32 digits. For more information on how these telephone
numbers are used, please refer to Event Call Direction on page 32 and Reporting Formats on page 30. After the Maximum
Dialing Attempts (see page 33) to one monitoring station telephone number have failed, the control panel will then dial the backup
telephone number. If the Alternate Dial Option (see page 33) is enabled, the control panel will dial the programmed backup
telephone number after every failed attempt. If no backup telephone number is programmed, the control panel will never report to
the backup telephone number. Also refer to Delay Between Dialing Attempts on page 33.
9.4 Partition Account Numbers
Section [143] = Partition 1, [144] = Partition 2
All report codes are preceded by a 4-digit or 3-digit Partition Account Number to ensure correct identification in a partitioned system.
Partition account numbers can be any hexa-digit from 1 to F. To enter a 3-digit account number, simply press the [FORCE] key

If Hexadecimals (0 to FF) are used to program the report codes, verify that the pager also supports
Hexadecimals. If the pager does not support Hexadecimals, use only the digits 0 to 9.
UL Note: The installer is required to verify the complete compatibility of the DAC Receiver and formats at least
once per year.
9.5.1 Standard Pulse Formats
The Spectra 1759MG can use the Ademco slow, Silent Knight and Sescoa standard pulse reporting formats (see Table
9 above).
9.5.2 Ademco Express
The Ademco Express is a high-speed reporting format, which will transmit the 2-digit (11 to FF) report codes programmed
into sections [160] to [213]. Unlike other Ademco formats, the Ademco Express does not use the Contact ID report codes.
9.5.3 Ademco Contact ID
Ademco Contact ID is a fast communicator format that uses tone reporting instead of pulse reporting. This communicator
format also uses a pre-defined list of industry standard messages and report codes that will suit most of your basic
installation needs. Please refer to the Contact ID Report Codes List in the Programming Guide for a complete list of these
report codes and messages.
9.5.4 Contact ID Options
Section [136]: Dialer Options
Option [3] OFF = Programmable Codes
Option [3] ON = All Codes (default)
When using the Programmable Codes format, use the Ademco Contact ID Report Codes List in the Spectra System
Programming Guide (version 2.0 or higher) to program the desired report codes into sections [160] to [213]. Enter FF
to use the default Contact ID report codes. Press the [FORCE] key to enter a 0 value. When using the All Codes format,
the control panel will automatically generate Contact ID report codes for every event in sections [160] to [213]. Refer to
the “All Codes” Ademco Contact ID Report Code List in the Spectra System Programming Guide.
When using the Ademco Contact ID Programmable format, both telephone numbers must use this
reporting format.
9.5.5 Pager Reporting Format
Section [136]: Dialer Options
[6] OFF / [7] OFF: 1 call to the pager/cellular telephone
[6] OFF / [7] ON: 2 calls to the pager/cellular telephone
[6] ON / [7] OFF: 3 calls to the pager/cellular telephone
[6] ON / [7] ON: 4 calls to the pager/cellular telephone
Using this format allows the control panel to transmit report codes to a pager or a cellular telephone. Since the control panel
cannot confirm whether the transmission was successful or not, it can be programmed to call the pager or cellular telephone
up to four times and transmit the report codes each time. To ensure that the report is received, the control panel transmits
the account number, the report code and the # sign four times during each call. Also, refer to Pager Delay on page 32.
9.5.6 Pager Format Transmission Options
Section [136]: Dialer Options
Option [8] OFF = Transmit Report Code(s) after Pager Delay (default)
Option [8] ON = Transmit Report Code(s) immediately
The Pager Reporting Format can be configured to transmit immediately or to transmit after a pager delay has elapsed.
With option [8] ON, the control panel will immediately transmit (personal dialing) the report code(s) to a pager or a
cellular phone. The Pager delay in section [083] will then become the length of time that the control panel will continue
to transmit the report code(s). With option [8] OFF, the control panel will transmit the report code(s) to a pager or
cellular phone only after the Pager delay has elapsed.

9.6 Pager Delay
Section [083]
001 to 255 seconds, default = 5 seconds
When using the Pager Reporting Format (see page 31), the control panel will wait for the Pager Delay period before transmitting
the report codes. This is to allow time for the pager system to provide a dial tone or to bypass the “welcome” message before
sending data.
9.7 Event Call Direction
This feature determines where each group of events will be reported. The control panel events are divided into five groups (see
above) where each event group can be programmed to dial one or both monitoring station telephone numbers (MSTNs). When a
reportable event occurs in the system, the control panel will verify that one of the two telephone numbers has been enabled. The
control panel will begin by dialing the selected telephone number(s). If both numbers were selected it will begin with MSTN1. After
the Maximum Dialing Attempts (see page 33) to one MSTN have failed, the control panel will then dial the backup telephone
number. If the Alternate Dial Option (see page 33) is enabled, the control panel will dial the programmed backup telephone number
after every failed attempt. If no backup telephone number is programmed, the control panel will never report to the backup
telephone number. Also, refer to Delay Between Dialing Attempts on page 33.
Example: The system is armed and zone 1 has been breached causing an alarm. If option [3] is off and option [4] is on in section
[137], the control panel will attempt to communicate with MSTN2 in order to transmit the Zone 1 Alarm report code programmed
in section [187].
9.8 Dialing Method

Section [110]: Time (HH:MM)
The control panel will transmit the Test Report report code programmed into section [211] after the number of days programmed
into section [087] has elapsed at the time programmed into section [110]. Use the 24-hour clock to program the time (i.e. 6:30PM
= 18:30). The first Test Report will be transmitted within 24 hours after the feature is enabled at the time programmed in [110].
Example: Section [087] = 005 and section [110] = 13:00. The first Test Report will be sent at 1 PM that day and then the report
will be sent every 5 days at 1 PM.
9.17 Closing Delinquency Timer
Section [095]
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 Timer, the control panel will transmit a Closing Delinquency event to the
monitoring station.
Example: The Closing Delinquency Timer for partition 1 in section [095] is programmed for 005 days. Spectra verifies when
partition 1 was last disarmed at midnight every day. If partition 1 was not armed within the last 5 days, Spectra will transmit a
Closing Delinquency event to the monitoring station.
The Closing Delinquency Event and timer apply only to partition 1.
9.18 Power Failure Report Delay
Section [086]

Option [6] OFF = Report On Bell Cut-Off (default)
Option [6] ON = Report On Zone Closure
With option [6] OFF, the 1759MG will send the Zone Alarm Restore report codes (see page 29) to the monitoring station when the
zone has returned to normal and the Bell Cut-Off Timer has elapsed (see page 25). With option [6] ON, the 1759MG will send the
Zone Alarm Restore report codes to the monitoring station as soon as the zone returns to normal or when the system is disarmed.
9.21 Telephone Line Monitoring (TLM)
When enabled, the system verifies the existence of a telephone line once every second. A line test failure occurs when the TLM
detects less than 3 volts for the period defined by the TLM Fail Timer. If the line test fails, the control panel’s STATUS LED flashes
and generates one or more conditions as defined by the TLM settings below. These will be restored when the control panel
detects the telephone line again. Please note that when the dialer detects an incoming call, the TLM test will stop for 1 minute.
Section [135]: Dialer Options
[1] OFF / [2] OFF: TLM Disabled

9.21.1 TLM Fail Timer
Section [079]
016 to 255 x 2 seconds, Default = 32 seconds
If TLM does not detect the existence of a telephone line for the duration of this period, the control panel will generate
the condition(s) defined by the TLM options (see above).
Part 10: Programmable Outputs
A PGM is a programmable output that toggles to its opposite state (i.e. a normally open PGM will close) when a specific event has occurred
in the system. For example, a PGM can be used to reset smoke detectors, activate bells or strobe lights, open/close garage doors and
much more. When a PGM closes, the control panel supplies a ground to the PGM activating any device or relay connected to it. When a
PGM opens, the circuit opens from ground, therefore, cutting power to any devices connected to it.
PGM1
A programmable output that provides
up to 150mA.
Refer to
Alarm Relay and PGMs on page 4.
PGM2
PGM2 is a programmable output that can provide up to 1A. PGM2 is designed to be used as a Strobe Output. For information refer to PGM
Strobe Options on page 35. For connections, refer to Alarm Relay and PGMs on page 4.
Global PGM
The Global PGM allows you to use the control panel’s PGM Event List to activate PGMs located on a module or LCD keypad. For example, if
you enable a module’s “Follows Global PGM” option, the PGM on the module will activate whenever the event programmed in section [124]
occurs. Every PGM on every keypad and/or expansion bus module can be programmed to follow the event(s) defined by the Global PGM.
10.1 PGM Activation Event
Sections [120], [122], and [124]
This feature allows you to program the control panel to activate a PGM when a specific event occurs in the system. The PGM will
remain in its active state until the programmed PGM Deactivation Event occurs or when the PGM Delay period elapses (see
page 35). For the Event List see the PGM Table in the Spectra 1759MG Programming Guide. To program a PGM Activation Event:
Spectra 1759MG 35
1) Enter section that represents the desired PGM. PGM1 = [120], PGM2 = [122], Global PGM = [124]
2) Enter the Event Group #.
3) Enter the Sub-Group #.
4) Enter the Partition # (01 = Partition 1 02 = Partition 2 99 = Both Partitions)
The “AC Loss” PGM Event will only occur after the Power Failure Report Delay elapses (see page 33).
10.2 PGM Deactivation Event
Sections [121], [123], [125]
After PGM activation, the PGM will return to its normal state (deactivate) when the programmed PGM Deactivation Event occurs.
Instead of deactivating the PGM when a specific event occurs, the PGM can deactivate after a programmed period elapses (see
PGM Delay below). For the Event List see the PGM Table in the Spectra 1759MG Programming Guide. If using the PGM Delay,
these sections can be used as a second activation event.
1) Enter section that represents the desired PGM. PGM1 = [121], PGM2 = [123], Global PGM = [125]
2) Enter the Event Group #.
3) Enter the Sub-Group #.
4) Enter the Partition # (01 = Partition 1 02 = Partition 2 99 = Both Partitions)
10.3 PGM Delay
Section [066] = PGM1, [067] = PGM2, [068] = Global PGM
001 to 255 seconds, 000 = Follows Deactivation Event, Default = 5 seconds
Instead of deactivating the PGM on the occurrence of a specific event, the PGM will deactivate after the period programmed here
has elapsed.
If a PGM Delay is programmed, the deactivation event can be used as a second activation event.
10.4 PGM Normal State
Section [126]: Options [4], [5] and [6]
A PGM switches to its opposite state (i.e. a normally open PGM will close) when a specific event has occurred in the system. You
can program each PGM output to be normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.) by enabling or disabling options [4], [5] and
[6] in section [126].
Option [4] OFF = PGM1 Normally Open (Default)
Option [4] ON = PGM1 Normally Closed
Option [5] OFF = PGM2 Normally Open (Default)
Option [5] ON = PGM2 Normally Closed
Option [6] OFF = Global PGM Normally Open (Default)
Option [6] ON = Global PGM Normally Closed
10.5 PGM2 Strobe Options
Section [129]: General Options
Option [1] OFF = PGM2 Output is Steady (Default)
Option [1] ON = PGM2 Output is Pulsed (Strobe)
With option [1] enabled, PGM2 will flash on and off whenever activated. Otherwise, it will provide a steady output.
Option [2] OFF = Disable PGM2 Pulse When System is Armed (Default)
Option [2] ON = Enable PGM2 Pulse When System is Armed
Whenever the system is armed, PGM2 will flash once every 30 seconds until the system is disarmed.
Option [3] OFF = Disable PGM2 Pulse on Arm/Disarm (Default)
Option [3] ON = Enable PGM2 Pulse on Arm/Disarm Enabled
With this option enabled, PGM2 will flash once to indicate the system has been armed and will flash twice to indicate that the
system has been disarmed.
10.6 Alarm Relay Options
Section [127]: General Options
Option [7] OFF = Alarm Relay Follows Bell Output (Default)
Option [7] ON = Alarm Relay Follows Global PGM
With this option off, the optional Alarm Relay will activate or deactivate whenever the Bell Output activates or deactivates. With
the option on, the Alarm Relay will activate or deactivate whenever Global PGM activates or deactivates.

Program 147 into section [282] to lock all programming. Performing a hardware reset will not affect the current panel settings. To
remove the Installer Lock, enter 000. Please note that four seconds after resetting the control panel the STATUS LED on the
control panel will flash fast for 5 seconds to indicate that the installer lock is enabled.
11.3 Keypad Lockout Feature
Sections [092] and [093]
If a consecutive number of invalid codes are entered into a keypad, the control panel can be set to deny access from all keypads
for a specified period and send the report code programmed in section [196]. Program the number of consecutive invalid codes
from 001 to 255 (000 = disabled) into section [092]. Program the duration of the Keypad Lockout from 001 to 255 minutes into
section [093]. If 000 is programmed in section [093], the keypads will not be locked-out, but the report code programmed in
section [196] will be sent.
11.4 Battery Charge Current
Section [127]: General Options
Option [5] OFF = Battery Charge Current: 350mA (default)
Option [5] ON = Battery Charge Current: 700mA (40VA transformer required)
11.5 Partitioning
Section [127]: General Options
Option [1] OFF = Partitioning Disabled (default)
Option [1] ON = Partitioning Enabled
The 1759MG 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 User Code Options on page 10) and some of the
system's features can be assigned to Partition 1, Partition 2 or both (see Zone Partition Assignment on page 15). 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.
11.6 System Real-Time Clock
Section [280]
Program the current time into section [280] using the 24-hour clock (i.e. 8:30PM = 20:30).
11.7 Clock Adjust
Section [088]
000 = Disabled, 001 to 255, Default = Disabled
001 to 127 = + 1 to +127 seconds
128 to 255 = -1 to -127 seconds
Spectra 1759MG 37
If you notice a gain or loss in control panel time, calculate the average gain or loss per day and program the opposite amount in
order to automatically correct the time setting every 24 hours.
Example: If a control panel loses 4 minutes per month, this represents an average loss of 8 seconds per day. Therefore,
programming 008 (plus 8 seconds) into section [088] would compensate for the 8-second loss.
11.8 Keypad Tamper Supervision
Section [128]: General Options
Option [7] OFF = Keypad 1 Tamper Supervision Disabled (default)
Option [7] ON = Keypad 1 Tamper Supervision Enabled
Option [8] OFF = Keypad 2 Tamper Supervision Disabled (default)
Option [8] ON = Keypad 2 Tamper Supervision Enabled
The control panel can be programmed to monitor the on-board tamper status of one or two keypads in the system. If Keypad 1
Tamper Supervision is enabled, the control panel will verify the tamper status of a keypad with its keypad zone set as Keypad
Zone 1. If Keypad 2 Tamper Supervision is enabled, the control panel will verify the tamper status of the keypad with its keypad
zone set as Keypad Zone 2. Ensure that the keypad’s on-board anti-tamper switch is enabled. For LED keypads, see Configuring
The LED Keypad on page 8. For LCD keypads, see the appropriate Installation Guide.
Regardless of whether the keypad zones are being used or not, if more than one keypad is set with the same
keypad zone number, Keypad Tamper Supervision will be lost for that keypad zone. For example, if two keypads
in your system have their keypad zones defined as Keypad Zone 1, the control panel will not recognize a Keypad
1 Tamper Supervision Failure.
If a keypad tamper occurs, the control panel can transmit the appropriate Zone Tamper report code (see page 29) as originating
from the zones specified by the Table 10. If the zone (as specified by Table 10) is enabled, the control panel will report the tamper
as originating from the partition where the zone is assigned. If the zone is not enabled, the control panel will send the Zone
Tamper report code as originating from partition 1. A Tamper/Zone Wiring Failure will also appear in the keypad’s trouble display
(see page 42).
When Reassign Keypad Zone 2 is enabled (see page 12), the Keypad Tamper Supervision for Keypad Zone 2 is
lost. Therefore, Keypad Tamper Supervision will ONLY function on Keypad Zone 1.
11.9 Keypad Audible Trouble Warning
Section [127]: General Options
Option [3] OFF = Keypad Beep on Trouble Disabled
Option [3] ON = Keypad Beep on Trouble Enabled (default)
When enabled, the keypads emit an intermittent beep tone whenever a trouble condition occurs in the system. The intermittent
beep tone remains activated until the user enters the trouble display by pressing the [TBL] or [TRBL] key. The intermittent beeps
will re-initialize whenever a new trouble occurs or the trouble restores and re-occurs.
11.10 Confidential Mode
Section [126] Options [1], [2] and [3]
Option [1] OFF = Confidential Mode Disabled (default)
Option [1] ON = Confidential Mode Enabled
Option [2] OFF = Keypads activate when an access code is entered
Option [2] ON = Keypads activate when a key is pressed (default)
Option [3] OFF = Confidential Mode Timer is 2 minutes
Option [3] ON = Confidential Mode Timer is 5 seconds (default)
If Confidential Mode is enabled and no actions are performed on the keypads for the time defined by the Confidential Mode
Timer, all the keypad’s LEDs will be off and LCD screens will show “Paradox Family” until either a key is pressed or an access
code is entered. When the system exits Confidential Mode, the keypads will display the system’s status. Confidential Mode is
activated by enabling option [1]. Option [2] regulates whether the keypads will be activated at the touch of a key or only when an
access code is entered. Option [3] determines the amount of time without action before the system enters Confidential Mode (5
seconds or 2 minutes).

40 Reference & Installation Manual
Part 12: Settings for WinLoad Software
WinLoad has not been verified by UL
12.1 Panel Answer Options
The following two options define how the control panel answers an incoming call from a computer using the WinLoad Software for
Windows®.
12.1.1 Answering Machine Override
Section [077]
000 = Disabled, 010 to 255 seconds, Default = Disabled
When using the WinLoad software to communicate remotely with an installation site that uses an answering machine
or service, the answering machine override must be programmed. Using the WinLoad software you will call the control
panel, hang up, then call back. If the installation site is called back within the programmed delay period, the control
panel will override the answering machine or service by picking-up the line after the first ring on the second call. You
must wait at least 10 seconds before attempting the second call, otherwise, the control panel will think it is the same
call. For details on how to use the WinLoad software, refer to the WinLoad Help Manual.
Example: A security installation is using an answering machine set to answer after three rings. If section [077] has
been programmed with 040 (40 seconds) and the second call is made within 40 seconds, the control panel will pick up
the line on the first ring. If it takes more than 40 seconds, the control panel will not answer on the first ring and the
answering machine will answer after three rings.
12.1.2 Number of Rings
Section [078]
000 = disabled, 001 to 015 rings, Default = 8 rings
This value represents the number of rings the control panel will wait before picking-up the line. If the line is not
answered after the number of programmed rings, the control panel will answer the call. You must wait at least 10
seconds before attempting the second call or the control panel will think it is the same call.
12.2 Panel Identifier
Section [141]
0000 to FFFF
This 4-digit code identifies the control panel to the WinLoad software before initiating communication. The control panel will verify
that the Panel Identifier in the WinLoad software is the same. If the codes do not match, the control panel will not establish
communication. Therefore, be sure to program the same panel identifier into both the Spectra control panel and the WinLoad
software.
12.3 PC Password
Section [142]
0000 to FFFF
This 4-digit password identifies the PC to the panel before establishing communication. Program the same PC Password into
both the Spectra control panel and the WinLoad software. If the passwords do not match, the WinLoad software will not establish
communication.
12.4 PC Telephone Number
Section [150]
Up to 32 digits
The control panel will dial this number when trying to initiate communication with a computer using the WinLoad software. You
can enter any digit from 0 to 9 and any special keys or functions (see Table 8 on page 30) up to a maximum of 32 digits.
12.5 Call WinLoad Software
[ENTER] + [INSTALLER CODE] + [BYP]
The control panel will dial the PC Telephone Number programmed in section [150] in order to communicate with the WinLoad
software. The control panel and the WinLoad software will verify that the Panel Identifier and the PC Password match before
establishing communication.
Spectra 1759MG 41
12.6 Answer WinLoad Software
[ENTER] + [INSTALLER CODE] + [FORCE]
In order to perform on-site upload/download connect your computer directly to the control panel using an ADP-1 line adapter. In
the WinLoad software set Dialing Method to Blind Dial. Program the panel telephone number in WinLoad software and follow the
instructions on the ADP-1 adapter. When the computer has dialed, press [ENTER] followed by the Installer Code, then press the
[FORCE] key to manually answer the WinLoad software from the control panel.
12.7 Auto Event Buffer Transmission
Section [136]: Dialer Options
Option [2] OFF = Auto Event Buffer Transmission Disabled (default)
Option [2] ON = Auto Event Buffer Transmission Enabled
When the event buffer reaches 50% 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 [150]. 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 50% 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.
12.8 Call Back WinLoad
Section [136]: 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 [150] in order to use the Call Back feature.

Please note that the keypad can be programmed to emit a BEEP every 5 seconds whenever a new trouble condition has occurred.
Pressing the [TBL] or [TRBL] key will stop the beeping.
Table 11: Trouble List
LED # Description Details
[1] No/Low Battery Failure The control panel performs a dynamic battery test under load every 60 seconds.
This trouble indicates that the back up battery is disconnected or that the battery
should be replaced, as it will not provide adequate current in case of AC loss. This
trouble will also appear when the control panel is running on battery power and the
battery voltage has dropped to 10.5V or lower. This means the battery must be
recharged or replaced.
[2] Wireless Transmitter
Low Battery The battery voltage of an Magellan wireless transmitter has dropped below
recommended limits. To determine the zones generating the trouble, examine the
Low Battery LED indicators on all the transmitters. The batteries should be
replaced.
[3] Power Failure Upon power failure, the AC LED on all keypads will turn off. The control panel can
transmit the report code programmed in section [205]. This report code can be
delayed by programming a Power Failure Report Delay in section [086]. The AC
LED turns back on as soon as power is restored.
[4] Bell Disconnected This trouble occurs when a bell or siren is not connected to the bell output
terminals. If you are not using the BELL terminals, connect a 1KΩ resistor across
the bell output.
[5] Maximum Bell Current The BELL output uses a fuseless circuit and will automatically shut down if the
current exceeds 3A. After opening the short or reducing the load, the bell current is
restored upon the following alarm generation. This trouble indicator will only
appear when a condition has occurred that would activate the bell output
(e.g. during an alarm).
[6] Maximum Auxiliary Current The auxiliary output uses a fuseless circuit to protect the power supply against
current overload and automatically shuts down if the current exceeds 1.1A. After
opening the short or reducing the load, the panel will restore power to the auxiliary
output.
[7] Communicator Report Fail The control panel has failed all attempts to communicate with the central
monitoring station.
[8] Timer Loss The control panel’s internal clock must be re-programmed. To re-program the timer
press the [8] key followed by the current time using the 24-hour clock
(i.e. 8:30PM = 20:30).
[9] Tamper/Zone Wiring Fail If the Tamper Recognition options are enabled (see page 25), this trouble indicates
a wiring problem on one or more zones or that the cover has been removed on one
or more wireless transmitters. To provide line short recognition the zone
connections must have EOL resistors. If you press the [9] key, the keypad will
display which zones are in trouble. Enter the Installer Code to clear Tamper
troubles.
[10] Telephone Line Monitoring If the Telephone Line Monitoring (TLM) feature is enabled (see section [135]), this
trouble indicates that the control panel has not detected the presence of a
telephone line for 30 seconds.

System Master Code arms or disarm partitions 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)
13.3 Disarming & Deactivating an Alarm
To disarm an already armed system or to deactivate an alarm, simply key in a valid access code. Program a designated entry/exit
point, such as the front door or the garage door with an entry delay timer. When these entry/exit point are opened (breached), it
will set off a timer. The system will not generate an alarm until this timer elapses, giving users enough time to enter the premises
and disarm the system. Any user can disarm the system, except users have been assigned the Arm Only Option.

13.4 Regular Arming
This method, commonly used for day-to-day arming, will arm all the zones in the selected partition. If you make a mistake, the
keypad will emit a rejection beep. When you have correctly armed the system, the appropriate ARM indication will turn on and the
exit delay will be initiated. Please note that Regular arming can also be activated through Auto-arming, Keyswitch arming or One-
touch arming.
13.5 Stay Arming
This method allows users to remain in the protected area while partially arming the system. For example, when going to sleep at
night, entry/exit points like doors and windows can be armed while other zones like motion detectors remain deactivated. Please
note that fire zones cannot be bypassed.
If you make a mistake, the keypad will emit a rejection beep. When you have correctly Stay armed the system, the appropriate
ARM or STAY indication appears and the exit delay is initiated. Stay arming can also be activated using Auto-arming, Keyswitch
arming or One-touch arming. The user code must have the Stay Arming Option enabled.
13.6 Instant Arming
After Stay arming the system and during its exit delay, press and hold the [STAY] key for 3 seconds. You should hear a
confirmation beep. This will switch all armed zones to Instant zones.
If you have access to both partitions:
To Instant arm one partition, press [STAY] + [ACCESS CODE] + Select Partition + [CLEAR] + press & hold [STAY]
To Instant arm both partitions, press [STAY] + [ACCESS CODE] + [1] + [2] + press & hold [STAY]
13.7 Force Arming (Not to be used with UL Installations)
Force arming allows users to rapidly arm the system, without having to wait for all zones in the system to be closed. Force arming
is commonly used when a motion detector is protecting the area occupied by a keypad. Therefore, when arming the system, if the
motion detector is set as a Force Zone, the control panel will ignore the zone and allow users to arm the system even if the zone
is open. Any open Force Zones at the time of arming will be considered deactivated by the control panel. If during this period a
deactivated zone is closed, the control panel will revert that zone to active status, hence, will generate an alarm if breached.
If you make a mistake, the keypad will emit a rejection beep. When correctly Force armed, the appropriate arm indication appears
and the exit delay will initiate. Please note that Force arming can also be activated using One-Touch Force arming. Also, note that
the user access code must have the Force Arming Option enabled.
13.8 Manual Bypass Programming
Manual Bypass Programming allows users to program the alarm system to ignore (deactivate) specified zones the next time the
