Esprit 642 LCD Keypad 1
1.0 Introduction
Thank you for selecting the Esprit security system from
Paradox Security Systems. The Esprit line of security
systems brings together reliable, yet simple products that
offer state-of-the-art security options. These options enable
you to customize many of the advanced features through a
straightforward keypad interface.
The Esprit system reports a wide range of status conditions
to the monitoring station. Automatic test reports can also be
sent to the monitoring station to ensure that your system is
functioning properly. We recommend that such tests be
conducted regularly. Consult your alarm system installer for
instructions.
All of the actions performed in your security system will be
executed and displayed through the keypad. We recommend
that you read this manual thoroughly and have your installer
explain basic system operation to you.

2.3 Auditory Feedback
Every time you press a key the system will emit a beep. This

to communicate acceptance or rejection of your entries. You
should be familiar with the following keypad beep tones:

3.0 Access Codes
Access codes are personal identification numbers that allow
you to enter certain programming modes and arm or disarm
the system. In addition to the Master Code, the Esprit control
panel can be programmed to accept up to 48 user codes,
each with a unique access code.
Avoid programming simple or obvious access codes,
such as your telephone number, address, or codes
like 1234.
3.1 User Codes
Your installer will program the panel to accept four- or six-digit
access codes and will assign code definitions to all user
codes. The Master Code (default: 474747) and user codes
are identified by a two digit code number, where code
numbers 01-48 represent access codes 1-48 and code
number 00 represents the Master Code. To create or modify
access codes please see Programming Access Codes on
page 6 and Deleting an Access Code on page 7.
3.2 Duress Code
The last user code (code number 48) can be programmed as
a Duress code. If you are forced to arm or disarm your
system under threat, you can enter this access code to
produce a silent alarm at the monitoring station. Check with
your installer to see if this option is enabled on your system.
