1.0 Basic Operation
The Esprit 636 and 646 keypads both function in the
same way, but display the visual feedback differently.
1.1 Visual Feedback
The numbers, symbols, lights and keys on the keypad
communicate the status of your system as described
in Figure 1 on page 3.
1.2 Zones
The Esprit control panel can support up to 24 zones.
When a zone is opened, its corresponding key will
light up on the keypad. For example, if zone 5 were to
open, the [5] key will light up on the keypad. If the
zone is breached and an alarm occurs, the key will
flash until the system is disarmed. Esprit’s keypads
will show the status of the zones through keys [1] to
[12]. By default, keys [1] to [12] will display the status
of zones 1 to 12. Press the [2ND]key and keys [1] to
[12] will now display the status of zones 13 to 24
respectively.
1.3 Partitioning
Your Esprit system can be divided into two distinct
areas (System A and System B). User access codes
can arm or disarm one system or both systems
simultaneously. In partitioning mode, when System A
is armed, the [STAY]key flashes. If System B is
armed, the [AWAY]key flashes. If both systems are
armed, both of these keys will be flashing. If the

8.0 Fire Alarm Operation
Upon a Fire Alarm, the bell/siren will operate in “pulse
mode”. To silence or reset a fire alarm, enter a valid
user code.
Note: IF A FIRE CONDITION EXISTS,
FOLLOW YOUR EVACUATION PLAN
IMMEDIATELY! If there is no fire condition,
contact your monitoring company without
delay to avoid an unnecessary response.
Fire Safety in the Home
Reasonable fire safety can be achieved by following a
three point program:
1.Minimizing fire hazards (i.e. smoking in bed, etc.)
2.Providing a fire warning system
3.Having and practicing an escape plan
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 of each separate sleeping area in the
immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each
additional story of the family living unit, including
basements.
Having and Practicing an Escape Plan
There often may be very little time between detection
of a fire and the time that it becomes deadly. Advance
warning of a fire may be wasted unless the family has
K6X6-EU12.fm Page 17 Tuesday, June 27, 2006 11:05 AM

18 User’s Manual
planned for a rapid exit from their residence. The
following should be considered:
• Plan and practice for fire conditions with the focus
on rapid exit from the residence.
• Drills should be held so that all family members
know what to do.
•
Each person should plan for the possibility that an
exit out of the bedroom window may be necessary.
An exit out of the residence that does not require
the opening of a bedroom door is essential.
Provision for the Disabled
For special circumstances where life-safety of some
occupant(s) depends upon prompt rescue by others,
the fire warning system includes a means of prompt,
automatic notification to those who are to be
depended upon for the rescue.
9.0 System Maintenance
Under normal use, your system requires virtually no
maintenance other than regular testing.
9.1 Testing your System
It is recommend that your system be tested once a
week. Contact your monitoring station BEFORE and
AFTER testing.
9.1.1 Burglar Alarm Testing
With the system disarmed and the READY light on,
activate motion detectors (walk in protected area).
