1.0 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Spectra 1727 Security
System from Paradox Security Systems. The Spectra
1727 will give you peace of mind by providing simple and
reliable security protection. The Spectra System can
also realize your dreams of home automation. Consult
your installer to take full advantage of your Spectra
system’s capabilities.
This advanced technology security system provides you
with reliable protection and useful features that anyone
can use without memorizing complex and confusing
codes. The system consists of the Spectra Control
Panel, one Spectra Keypad, and various devices such
as motion detectors, door contacts, sirens, and lights.
The elegant and user-friendly Spectra 1686H and
1686V LED Keypads allow you to easily access your
security system's functions and provide you with an
easy-to-understand display of your security system's
alarm and operational status. All the actions performed
in your security system will be executed and displayed
through the keypad. Therefore, before using your
security system, we highly recommend you read this
manual carefully and have your installer explain basic
system operation to you.

4 User’s Guide
2.0 BASIC OPERATION
Both the Spectra 1686H and 1686V LED Keypads
function and display information the same way. The
following sections provide you with an introduction to the
buttons and indicator lights on your keypad.
The installer must enable many of the system’s
features. If the feature is not programmed, the
keypad will emit a Rejection Beep and the action
will be cancelled. Refer to System Checklist in
section 8.0 for details.
2.1 AUDITORYFEEDBACK
When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide
you with beep tones that communicate acceptance or
rejection of your entries:
Confirmation Beep: When an operation (i.e. arming/
disarming) is successfully entered or when the system
switches to a new status/mode, the keypad emits an
intermittent beep (BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP).
Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to previous
status or when an operation is incorrectly entered, the
keypad emits a continuous beep tone (BEEEEEEEEP).

2.2 KEYPADINDICATORLIGHTS
All Spectra LED Keypads include colored lights which
convey your system’s current status. As explained in
Figure 2-1 on page 5, the state of each light represents a
specific condition in your system.
2.3 ZONEDISPLAY†
The numerical buttons on the 1686V/H Keypads are
designed to communicate the status of the zones in your
system. Each button corresponds to a zone in your
system. If a button’s light is off (extinguished), the
corresponding zone is closed. If a button’s light is on
(illuminated), the corresponding zone is open (i.e. open
door, movement detected, etc.).
2.4 ALARMMEMORYDISPLAY
If an alarm has occurred on a zone, the [MEM]button will
illuminate. All zones where alarms occurred will be
stored in the memory. After disarming the system, press
the [MEM]button to illuminate the buttons corresponding
to the zones that were in alarm (see section 2.3). To exit
the Alarm Memory Display, press the [CLEAR]button.
The system will erase the contents of the Alarm Memory
every time the system is armed.

3.0 PROGRAMMING ACCESS CODES
Access Codes are personal identification numbers that
allow you to arm, disarm, and enter certain programming
modes. The Spectra 1727 security system supports the
following:
1 System Master Code
7 User Access Codes
For information on how each Access Code can arm or
disarm the system, refer to the table on page8.
3.1 SYSTEMMASTERCODE
The System Master Code can arm or disarm the system
using any of the methods described in section 4.0 and
can create, modify or delete any User Access Code (see
section 3.2). (Default: 123456)
3.2 PROGRAMMINGACCESS CODES
Your system can use either 4- or 6-digit Access Codes
(see page19), where each digit can be any value from 0
to 9. Six-digit codes are considered more difficult to
“crack” and, therefore, more secure. Avoid programming
simple or obvious access codes, such as your telephone
number, address or codes such as 1234.
