CONFIGURING T HE 1686H, 1686V and 1689 KEYPADS (V2.0 or higher)
The keypad’s zone number, EOL definition and tamper switch are programmed through the keypad’s programming mode. To
do so:
PLEASE NOTE: After two minutes, the keypad exits programmin g mod e.
Key [1] - Keypad Zone Selectio n (“Zone Programming” on page 4)
Key [1] determines whether the keypad’s zone is Keypad Zone 1 or Keypad Zone 2. When key [1] is OFF (not illuminated),
the keypad’s zone is Keypad Zone 1. When key [1] is ON (illuminated), the keypad’s zone is Keypad Zone 2.
Key [1] OFF - Keypad Zone 1 (default)
Key [1] ON - Keypad Zone 2
Key [2] - EOL D efinition
Key [2] determines the keypad zone’s EOL definition. When key [2] is OFF (not illuminated), EOL is disabled and the keypad
zone uses the on-board EOL resistor. When key [2] is ON (illuminated), EOL is enabled and the keypad zone requires that an
exte rnal EOL re sistor be con ne cted (re fer to “ Spectr a 1 72 8EX and 1728 PCB Layout” on page 38 an d “ Spectra 17 38 EX and
1738 PCB Layout” on page 39 for more details).
Key [2] OFF - EOL disabled
Key [2] ON - EOL enabled (default)
Key [3] - On-Board Tamper
Key [3] enables or disables the keypad’s on-board tamper switch. When key [3] is OFF (not illuminated), the tamper switch is
disabled. When key [3] is ON (illuminated), the tamper switch is enabled.
Key [3] OFF - On-board tamper switch disabled
Key [3] ON - On-board tamper swi tch en ab led
PLEASE NOTE: The keypad can be ordered with or without a tamper switch. If the keypad has no tamper
switch, key [3] will be OFF by default. If the keypad has a tamper switch, key [3] will be ON by default.

CONFIGURING T HE 1686H, 1686V and 1689 KEYPADS (Prior to V2.0)
The ke ypad’s zone number an d EOL definition are defi ned through the jumper s located on the PC B board. The jumpers are
as fol low s:
J1 - Keypad Zone Select Jumper (“Zone Programming” on page 4)
Jum per J1 de term ines w hether the keyp ad ’s zone i s Keypad Zone 1 or Keypad Zone 2. When the jumper is OFF, the
keypad’s zone is Keypad Zone 2. When the jumper is ON, the keypad’s zone is Keypad Zone 1.
J1 OFF - Keypad Zone 2
J1 ON - Keypad Zone 1
J2 - EOL Definition Ju mp er
Jumper J2 determines the keypad zone’s EOL definition. When the jumper is OFF, EOL is disabled and the keypad zone
uses the on-board EOL resistor. When the jumper is ON, EOL is enabled and the keypad zone requires that an external EOL
resistor be connected (refer to “Spectra 1728EX and 1728 PCB Layout” on page 38 and “Spectra 1738EX and 1738 PCB
Layou t” on page 39 for more details) .
J2 OFF - EOL disabled
J2 ON - EOL enabled
ZONE PROGRAMMING
When programming zones, the zone assignments are dependent on where the detection devices in the system are
connected. Do not assign inputs from different modules to the same expansion input. In 1728/EX control panel
installations that require using mostly the expansion inputs, refer to Reassign Zones to Expansion Inputs (see section [126]
option [8]).

Only the control panel’s on-board inputs can be defined as a Fire, Delayed Fire or a Keyswitch zone. In the
1728EX and 1728 the on-board zones are zones 01 to 05 and in the 1738EX and 1738 the on-board zones are
zones 01 to 07.

Spectra 1728/EX & 1738/EX - 19 - Programming Guide
4-OUTPUT BUS MODULE V2.0
Due to the APR3-PGM4’s Auto-recognition feature, it can be used with either the Spectra (V2.0 or higher), Digiplex or
DigiplexNE control panel. When connected to the bus, the APR3-PGM4 automatically detects which control panel it is
connected to and adjusts its internal communication parameters to function accordingly. Only one APR3-PGM4 can be
connected to each Spectra control panel.
Modules with the APR- prefix are compatible with Spectra (versions 2.0 and higher) and Digiplex. Modules with the
APR3- prefix are compatible with Spectra (versions 2.0 and higher), Digiplex and DigiplexNE.
Bold = Default Setting
PGM PROGRAMMING
Each PGM Deactivation event can be used as another activation event if their respective PGM timer (see sections [501] to
[504]) is programmed with a value other than 000. The APR3-PGM4 uses the same PGM events as the Spectra control
panel, please refer to “ Programmabl e Outputs” on page 7.
