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.
ABOUT PssRssDOX
We do our best to develop technologically-advanced products. If you have any comments or suggestions,
or if you require additional technical assistance, please contact your local distributor. Every effort has
been made to ensure that your distributor's staff has received complete training from Paradox Security
Systems so that you receive prompt and effective service.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This installation manual has been created to provide you with the information you will need to understand
panel operation, features and functions. It expands on the directions found in the "Programming
Guide” . Even if you are familiar with other security control panels, we recommend that you read this
manual at least once to familiarize yourself with panel features. Please refer to the index for a complete
list of manual contents.
FEATURES
Reliability
The superior capabilities of the 738 EXPRESS and 738 are driven by leading edge hardware. Use of the
most powerful RISC processors on the market, with built-in “Analog to Digital” converters and SMD
Technology, means this control panel requires 30-40% less components than any previous generations.
Total Compatibility
All programming, comprehensive system features, and upload/download software of Esprit panels are
identical. This total compatibility significantly reduces the time required to conduct training, programming
and system upgrades. There’s just one set of procedures for all Esprit panels.
User-friendly Operation
The reduced number of steps required to program the 738 EXPRESS and the 738 via a keypad speeds
up installation. End-user access to most system functions calls for just one touch of the keypad. A “stream-
lined programming” feature further simplifies the programming process, by saving data automatically and
leading the installer through the programming addresses without the need to enter them manually.
False Alarm Prevention
Important advances have been made in Esprit control panel technology which guarantee exceptional levels
of false alarm protection. A full range of high tech features dramatically reduce the frequency of false alarms.
These easy to use tools include “Intellizone” definition, “Auto Zone Shutdown”, “Beep On Exit Delay”,
“Programmable Delay before Alarm Transmission” and “Recent Closing” report.
Flexible System Partitioning
Each control panel can be used to monitor two distinct security systems. Partitioning provides a practical
and flexible solution in situations where combined systems are a necessity. User-friendly Esprit partitioning
does it all with just one access code. Protected area zones can be defined as belonging to System “A”,
System “B”, both systems (dual area), or given no system assignment (common area).
High-Speed Preprogrammed Communication
Esprit panels can slash set-up and reporting time by transmitting preprogrammed and high-speed com-
municator formats.

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).
Programmable Outputs
Almost any control panel status situation may be used to activate the Esprit’s programmable outputs.
Once a panel status mode is selected for a PGM to follow, the polarity and duration of the output may
also be programmed. 18 supplementary programmable outputs are available with the SRI18 module,
which connects to the panel’s serial output.
Espload Upload/Download Software
Espload upload/download software revolutionizes control panel supervision by offering powerful panel
programming, modification, real-time monitoring and data management tools. It functions with most
Hayes-compatible modems, requires only 2 minutes to perform a full upload or download, and is
extremely simple to learn and operate. (Upload/download software is not permitted on UL installations.)
Advanced Technology Zoning (738 only)
Advanced Technology Zoning was developed to permit connection of 2 zones and a tamper on a single
pair of wires, as well as providing wire fault recognition. ATZ simplifies the task of meeting the zone
requirements of any installation and, at the same time, reduces installation costs.
Alarm Relay (optional on the 738 EXPRESS)
Single pole, double throw dry contacts rated at 5 amps that follow the local alarm (bell/siren) output.

LOCATION AND MOUNTING
Remove the printed circuit board, mounting hardware and keypad from the packaging inside the panel
box. Press the five white nylon mounting studs into cabinet from the back before mounting the
cabinet. Before mounting circuit board on the back of the cabinet, pull all cables into cabinet and prepare
them for connection.
Select a control panel installation site that is not easily accessible to intruders. Leave at least 2” around
the panel box to permit adequate ventilation/heat dissipation. Installation location should be dry, close to
an AC source, ground connection and a telephone line connection.

IM738-738EX

EARTH GROUND
The earth terminal should be connected to the cabinet and ground ing
rod as per local electrical codes.
AC
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. UL listed systems require K12 model T16V40 transformer,
ULC listed systems require Frost model FTC 1637 transformer. Warning: Do
not connect transformer until all wiring is completed.
PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUTS
Two fully programmable outputs (PGM1 and PGM2) are avail-
able on this panel. Each is able to follow more than a thou-
sand different combinations. Please use a relay if more than
50mA is needed.
Example: To program PGM1 to open/close an automat ic garage
door when keys [3] and [6] are pressed at the same time:
Address 039: [6] [2ND
]
Address 040: [5] [8]
Address 042: [1] [1]
Address 056: [10] [10] [1]
BELL/SIREN OUTPUT
Bells or other warning devices requiring a steady voltage output during alarms,
are powered by the Bell+/ Bell- terminals. The bell output is microprocessor-
controlled and will automatically shut down if current exceeds 3 amps. The
processor will allow current to resume as soon as another alarm is triggered.
The correct polarity connections should be made when hooking up sirens
(speakers with built-in siren drivers). “Bell+” terminal is the connection for the
positive lead. “Bell-” terminal is the connection for the negative lead. The bell
output supplies 12V upon alarm. It can support two 20-watt or two 30-watt
sirens. (Above 1A, battery supplies current.)
AUXILIARY POWER TERMINALS
Motion detectors and any security devices requiring 12VDC voltage can be powered by the auxiliary
power supply. A maximum of 400mA 12VDC is available from the AUX+ and AUX- terminals (250mA
12VDC for 24hr standby for UL/ULC installations). For each additional keypad or PS1 module, the auxil-
iary supply must be reduced by the corresponding keypad current consumption value. (See "Current
Consumption”, page 6). The auxiliary supply is microprocessor-protected against current overload and
automatically shuts down if current exceeds 1 amp. Auxiliary power will resume once the overload condi-
tion is removed and after battery test takes place (within 1 - 60 seconds).

IM738-738EX

KEYPAD CONNECTIONS
Panel/keypad connection:
The four keypad connections labeled "red", "black", "green" and "yellow"
should be connected to the cor responding 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. Up to 5 keypads may be connected to the control
panel but only two (2) keypad zones (Keypad 1 and Keypad 2) can be
active at any one time. Examples of keypad zone connection pos sibilities
(depending on type of keypad used) are shown below:
639/640 LCD keypads 616/626/633 LED keypads
To disable the keypad zone (when keypad zone supervision is deactivated):
616/626: Connect the blue wire “ZONE” to the black wire “COM” and remove EOL jumper 2.
633/639/640: Connect a 1kWresistor between the zone terminal and the com terminal.
ZONE INPUT TERMINALS
The system hardware will recognize the following conditions for each zone:

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" enabled (Address 088, Key [10] "off", Key [11] "on")
Tamper/wiring failure will generate an alarm, when armed. A trouble report code will be sent to the central
when disarmed.
"Silent alarm" enabled (Address 088, Key [10] "on", Key [11] "off")
Tamper/wiring failure will generate a silent alarm (no siren) when the system is disarmed. Alarm and
trouble report codes will be sent to the central when the system is armed.
"Audible alarm" enabled (Address 088, Key [10] "on", Key [11] "on")
Tamper/wiring failure will generate an audible alarm armed or disarmed (siren). Alarm and trouble
report codes will be sent to the central.
Exception: When the zone definition is "24 hour", the tamper definition follows the audible/silent
alarm arm definition of the "24 hour" zone.
Tamper recognition addresses:
Tamper report and restoration codes should be programmed at addresses 472-478 and 510.
FIRE CIRCUIT
The fire zone (enabled by defining zone 3 as "24 hour”) should always be connected with a
1KWWEOL resistor (PN201100200-PRT on UL systems). If there is a line short in the fire zone,
a fire alarm will be generated. If the line is "open", a "fire loop" trouble report will be sent to the
central and trouble indicator [11] will illuminate on the LED keypad.
For UL/ULC installations, a 4 wire, latching, smoke detector (UL - Falcon Model 5454, ULC -
BRK Model 2412) must be used. To supervise power supply, an “end of line” relay (Model
MR3) is installed. This relay’s contacts will cause a FIRE TROUBLE in the event the power
is interrupted.
To reset (unlatch) smoke detectors after an alarm, power to detectors must
momentarily be interrupted. To do so, connect the negative (-) side of smoke
detector power to PGM1. PGM1 should then be programmed “Timed N.C.” (nor-
mally closed), programmed to “open” when any two keys on the keypad are
pressed simultaneously.
Example:
To program PGM1to conduct smoke detector reset when [CLEAR]and [ENTER]
are pressed at the same time.
Address 039 = [BYP] [2ND]
Address 040 =[5] [10]
Address 042 = [2ND] [6]
Address 056 = [10] [10] [4]
TELEPHONE LINE CONNECTION
Connect the incoming telephone company wires into "TIP" and
"RING". Wires should then be run from "T1" and "R1" to the installa-
tion's phone system.

IM738-738EX

POWERING UP THE UNIT
When keypads are installed far from the control panel, a keypad should be temporarily connected close
to the panel to conduct "power-up" testing. Connect the transformer. After 10 seconds, begin testing the
unit. Enter random commands on the keypad. It should "beep" in response to these commands. Open a
zone to ensure that keypad and panel are responding to signals. If the keypad does not respond and
indicator lights do not illuminate, check for AC voltage at the “AC” terminals. If 16VAC is flowing, then
keypad wiring should be verified. Also check for a short between "black" and "red” keypad wires.
Panel Programming Methods
To conduct panel programming, use the keypad or initiate communication with Espload (see below). Use
of Espload is highly recommended, as it greatly reduces the potential for data entry errors during pro-
gramming. For Keypad Programming instructions, refer to "Programming Guide".
Battery Hook-Up (required on UL/ULC installations)
Use a 12VDC 7AH rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell battery. Connect "red"
battery lead to positive battery terminal, and "black" battery lead to negative
battery terminal. Reversed connections will blow the battery fuse. Battery
should not be connected until AC panel connections have been made.
[TRBL]key should illuminate. Pressing [TRBL]causes key [8] to illuminate
(trouble indicator for "timer loss"). (See "Trouble Display Monitoring" section,
page 27-28.)
Warning: Do not connect battery until all wiring is completed.
Battery Test
Panel conducts dynamic battery test under load every 60 seconds. If the battery is disconnected, or capacity
is low, trouble indicator key [1] illuminates. Key [1] also comes “on” if battery voltage drops to 10.5 volts while
panel is running on battery power (with no AC). At 8.5 volts, the panel shuts down and all outputs close.
ESPLOAD
The 738 EXPRESS and 738 can be remotely programmed with Espload upload/download software, or on
site using Espload and a ADP-1 adapter. Advanced Espload software can carry out fast upload or down-
load, and provides many powerful features, including a comprehensive "monitoring" mode to oversee all
panel activity, a "scheduler" to initiate preprogrammed tasks at set intervals, and a "batch" mode to carry
out preprogrammed tasks following a call from the panel. There is no limit to the number of account files or
panel defaults that can be created, and thousands of programming combinations can be assigned to PGM
outputs using Espload. Espload can be converted to the language of your choice, and individualized help
menus can also be generated. Contact your local Paradox Distributor for your copy of Espload software.
KEYPAD
To program Esprit panels via the keypad, first complete the programming work sheets and follow the pro-
gramming procedures outlined in the "Programming Guide".

DTMF - no handshake ([TRBL]key)
All addresses from 300 to 527 programmed with values other than [2ND] [2ND]will report the contact ID
codes corresponding to the values programmed (according to the “Contact ID Event Code Selection”
table in the Programming Guide). This format can be utilized in reporting situations where a central sta-
tion receiver is not connected to the telephone number. It's useful for personal reporting where a "hand-
shake" is not required. (In "double reporting" mode, first central station number can be connected to a
receiver, while second can be used for personal reporting using "no handshake" format. The panel will
make two attempts to call the "no handshake" number.)
Standard pulse formats
Ademco slow, Silent Knight, Sescoa, and Radionics are programmable with keys [2ND]to [7].
Programmable Output ( PGM ) Types (Address 039)SECTION 09
Regular N.O. Solid state switch conducts to negative (50mA*) upon an event or events, and returns to its
original state (N.O) once the conditions that triggered it have terminated.
Regular N.C. Solid state switch opens circuits from ground upon an event or events and returns to its
original state (N.C.) once the conditions that triggered it have terminated.
Timed N.O. Solid state switch conducts to negative (50mA*) upon an event or events and remains acti-
vated for the amount of time programmed at address 056.
Timed N.C. Solid state switch opens circuits from ground upon an event(s) and remains activated for
the amount of time programmed at address 056.
"OR" logic
Causes the programmable output command to occur when one or more selected events
from a specified group of events take place (example: key [1] or [2] is pressed on keypad.)
"AND" logic Causes the programmable output command to occur when all selected events from a spec-
ified group of events take place (example: key [1] and key [2] are pressed.)
"EQUAL" logic Causes the programmable output command to occur when all events from a specified
group of events take place (example: key [1] and [2] are pressed but [3], [4], [5], [6], [2ND]
and [TRBL]are not pressed.)
*UL tested for 30mA only.

Special Timing Functions
3 Digit Decimal Value Programming
Decimal programming is used to program addresses 044 to 061. Values entered must contain 3 digits.
Decimal value programming:
1) Press [ENTER]+ installer code. ([ENTER]key will flash.)
2) Enter 3 digit address (044 to 061).
3) Enter 3 digit DECIMAL value.
4) To erase, press [CLEAR]. To save, press [ENTER].
5) Repeat from step 2 onward for next address. To exit programming mode press [CLEAR].
“No movement”
If a time is programmed at address 055, and a report code is entered at address 517 (SECTION 65), the panel
will send a report to the central, when there is no movement in the protected area for a designated time period.
"Late to close"
If the system is not armed by a specified time (addresses 044, 045) the code programmed at address
516 (SECTION 65) will be transmitted.
Auto arming
The panel can be programmed to automatically arm itself every day in two ways: at the specified time pro-
grammed at addresses 044, 045 and/or once the "no movement" delay has elapsed (address 055). To
program "auto arming", go to address 086 and enable key [5] (auto arm on time), and/or key [6] (auto
arm on "no movement"). All zones must be closed in order for the system to auto arm. If panel fails to
auto arm, only the “late to close" (address 516 (SECTION 65)) or the "no movement” (address 517 (SEC-
TION 65)) report will be transmitted. The "auto arm" report is programmed at address 300 (SECTION 11).

Applies to PGM 1 and 2 if selected at address 039. (Maximum time, 127 minutes)
IInntteellllii zzoonneeDelay (Address 057)
This time limit, set between 10 and 255 seconds, is the period in which two intellizone detections must
take place, or in which an intellizone must remain open, in order for an alarm to be communicated.
Note: do not use the Intellizone feature and an entry delay on the same zone, otherwise an alarm may
occur as a user tries to disarm the system.
Installer Lock (Address 058)
If 147 is programmed at address 058, all programming will be locked and will not be affected when the
system is reset.
Programmable Delay Before Alarm Transmission (Address 059)
This time limit, set between 5 and 63 seconds, is the period of time before reporting begins the first time
an alarm is generated. During the waiting period, system disarm will cancel all pending reports.
Note: For UL listed systems the time limit must be set to a maximum of 30 seconds.
Recent Closing Delay (Address 060)
This time limit, set between 1 and 255 seconds, begins as soon as the system is armed, and continues
until expiration of the period programmed. Every time an alarm occurs during this period, a “recent close”
code (address 519) will be sent to the central.
System Options (Default = "off" for addresses 062-126)
Feature select programming
"ON”/"OFF" status of the key lights determines feature selection.
In programming mode, enter 3 digit memory address (062 to 126).
To save entries, press [ENTER]. To exit programming mode press [CLEAR].
Code priority (Addresses 062 to 078)
If partitioning is disabled (Address 086, key [8] "off")
Addresses 062-066: Lighted keys indicate which user codes can activate "stay" arming.
Addresses 068-072: Lighted keys indicate which user codes can activate force "away” arming.
Addresses 074-078: Lighted keys indicate which user codes can "bypass" zones.
If partitioning is enabled (Address 086, key [8] "on")
Addresses 062-066: Lighted keys indicate which user codes are assigned to System "A".
Addresses 068-072: Lighted keys indicate which user codes are assigned to System "B".
Addresses 074-078: Lighted keys indicate which user codes can "bypass" zones.
(See also page 25.)
TLM options (Address 086, key [2ND]and key [1])
The system verifies the existence of a telephone line every 4 seconds. After successful tests, the dialer
LED (green light) flashes briefly on control panel. If the test fails, LED illuminates 4 seconds "on", then 4 sec-
onds "off". TLM trouble will be activated when less than 3 volts are detected in 4 consecutive tests.
Note:
When the dialer detects a telephone ring, the TLM test stops for 1 minute.
There are three options for TLM use.
(1) Line test failure can generate a trouble indication.
(2) Line test failure can generate a trouble indication and an
alarm if the system is armed.
(3) Line test failure will cause a silent zone or a silent panic
alarm to switch to audible mode.

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" arms system.
Key [2] "on": PS1 or keyswitch "stay" arms system.*
*Note: If partitioning is enabled (address 086, key [8] "on"), PS1 arms system "A" only. Use of PS1 is not
recommended for partitioned systems.
Call back (Address 086, key [4])
For extra security, the panel can be programmed to call the PC back when communication is attempted
by the PC. The panel will first answer the call, then Espload and the panel will verify identification codes.
The panel will then hang up and call the PC back and establish communication. Espload automatically
goes into the “wait for call mode”, ready to answer when the panel calls back. The identification codes
are verified again before allowing access to the panel.
Related features: “Computer telephone number” 008-015.
Auto arm
On Time: (Address 086, key [5])
The panel may be programmed to arm at the same time every day. Program both the hour and minute
(addresses 044, 045) for arming. A late closing code may be programmed (address 516).
Related features: “ Auto arm” 090, [2] “Auto/Espload Arm” 300 "Auto arming" p.15 .
No Movement: (Address 086, key [6])
If zone activity is not detected for a programmed period (address 055) while disarmed, the panel can auto
arm and/or send a "no movement" report (address 517).
Refer also to "No movement" p. 15 .
Touch tone options (Address 086, key [7])
Tone (key [7] = "on") or pulse dialing can be programmed. If "pulse" is chosen for a central station phone
number, "tone" dialing can be programmed for the other number. [BYP] ("switch from pulse to tone")
should be entered in the second phone number during programming.
Partitioning (Address 086, key [8])
Partitioning is activated, (key [8] "on"). The panel's
fully programmable zones (plus 2 remote keypad
zones) can be divided into two systems. (See “System Partitioning”, page 25.)
Silent alarm (Address 086, key [9])
Key [9] "off":
Silent zones/panics generate a silent alarm.
Zones defined as "silent" at addresses 096-098 and keypad
panic zones will not cause an audible alarm, however, the keypad "armed" light will flash and the alarm
condition will remain until a valid user code is entered.
Key [9] "on":
Silent zones/panics generate only a report (The red keypad LED does not flash, and there is no need to
"reset" the silent alarm.)
Silent delay zones generate an entry delay beep, and a report at the end of the entry delay.
Zone restore is always reported upon zone closure.
Memory display, auto zone shutdown are always active for silent zones when enabled at address 086, key [ TRBL ].
Silent alarms can be monitored by a PGM output. (Silent flag is cleared on report or disarm.)
On split reporting, silent zones/panic are reported to Telephone #1.
Dialing pulse rates (Address 086, key [10])
This selection reflects the ratio between “pulse” time and "quiet" time. Select Pulse Europe for a 1:2 ratio
(Key [10] = "off"), Pulse USA for 1:1.5. (Key [10] = "on")
Reporting options
Regular reporting (Address 086, key [11] “off” and key [12] “on”)
To activate central station reporting, the feature must be enabled and all required reporting codes, except
when using “Ademco contact ID (all codes reported)”, must be assigned a value other than [2ND][2ND].
