2Reference & Installation Manual
Part 2: Installation
2.1 Location and Mounting
Before mounting the cabinet, push the five white nylon mounting studs into the back of the cabinet. Pull all cables into the cabinet
and prepare them for connection before mounting the circuit board into the back of the cabinet. Select a centralized installation
site on the main floor that isn't easily accessible to intruders and leave at least 5cm (2in) around the panel box to permit adequate
ventilation and heat dissipation. The installation site should be dry and close to an AC source, ground connection and telephone
line connection. Avoid installation near or in the path of strong RF fields (i.e. neon lights, computers), on or near metal objects,
circuit breaker boxes, air conditioners and heater ducts since they may cause interference and reduce sensitivity. Avoid installing
the 1759MG in the basement.
Do not cut, bend or alter the antennae and ensure that electrical wires do not cross over the antennae as these
may affect the signal reception.
2.2 Earth Ground
Connect the zone and dialer ground terminals from the control panel to the metallic enclosure and cold water pipe or grounding
rod as per local electrical codes.
For maximum lightning protection, use separate earth grounds for the zone and dialer grounds as shown in
Figure 2 on page 3. For UL installations, the metallic enclosure must be grounded to the cold water pipe.
2.3 AC Power
Do not use any switch-controlled outlets to power the transformer. Connect the transformer as shown in Figure 1 on page 2. Use
Table 1 to determine the required transformer.
2.4 Backup Battery
To provide power during a power loss, connect a 12Vdc 4Ah rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell backup battery as shown in Figure 1
on page 2. Use a 7Ah battery to comply with UL fire requirements. Connect the backup battery after applying AC power. When
installing, verify proper polarity as reversed connections will blow the battery fuse. Also, refer to Battery Charge Current on page 36.
2.4.1 Battery Test
If the battery is disconnected or if the battery fuse is blown, a No/Low Battery failure will appear in the keypad’s trouble
display (see page 42). This trouble will also appear if the battery’s capacity is too low or if the voltage drops to 10.5V or
lower while the control panel is running on the backup battery. At 8.5V or lower, the panel shuts down and all outputs
close.

4Reference & Installation Manual
2.5 Auxiliary Power Terminals*
The auxiliary power supply terminals can be used to power motion detectors, keypads and other modules or accessories in the
security system. A fuseless circuit protects the power supply against current overload and automatically shuts down if the current
exceeds 1.1A. If this occurs, the Maximum Auxiliary Current failure will appear in the keypad’s trouble display (see page 42).
Therefore, the combined current consumption of devices connected to the auxiliary power supply should not exceed 700mA. If
the auxiliary output is overloaded and is shut down, you must disconnect all loads from the output for at least 10 seconds before
reconnecting any load back to the auxiliary output.
Modules with the APR- prefix are compatible with the Spectra 1759MG and DGP-848. Modules with the APR3- prefix are
compatible with the Spectra 1759MG, DGP-848 and DGP-NE96.
2.6 Telephone Line Connection
In order to report system events to the monitoring station, you must connect the incoming telephone company wires into the TIP
and RING connections of the control panel and then run the wires from T1 and R1 to the telephone or telephone system as
shown in Figure 2 on page 3.
2.7 Bell Output Connection
The BELL+ and BELL- terminals power bells, sirens and other warning devices requiring a steady voltage output during an alarm.
The bell output supplies 12Vdc upon alarm and can support one 30-watt or two 20-watt sirens. The bell output uses a fuseless
circuit and will automatically shut down if the current exceeds 3A. When this occurs the Maximum Bell Current failure will only
appear in the keypad’s trouble display (see page 42) during an alarm. If the load on the BELL terminals returns to normal, the
control panel will re-instate power to the BELL terminals during the next alarm. When connecting sirens, please verify correct
polarity. Connect the positive lead to the BELL+ terminal and the negative lead to the BELL- terminal of the control panel as
shown in Figure 2 on page 3.
If the BELL output is not being used, the Bell Disconnected failure will remain in the keypad’s trouble display
(see page 42). To avoid this connect a 1KΩresistor across the BELL terminals.
2.8 Programmable Output Connections*
When a specific event occurs in the system, a PGM can reset smoke detectors, activate strobe lights, open/close garage doors
and much more.
2.8.1 Alarm Relay and PGMs
The Spectra 1759MG control panel includes two on-board programmable outputs (PGMs). For details on how to
program the PGM, refer to PGM Programming on page 34. PGM1 can support up to 150mA while PGM2 supports up
to 1A (see Figure 3 on page 5) and can be used as a strobe output (see page 35). The PGMs are limited by the power
source being used. If powered by:
•The AUX terminals. The current consumption of the AUX terminals cannot exceed 700mA. Therefore, whatever
devices are connected to the AUX terminals (i.e. modules and PGMs) cannot exceed 700mA combined. For
example, if there are six modules connected to the AUX terminals that are using 600mA and you wish to power the
PGM using the AUX terminals, the PGM’s current consumption cannot exceed 100mA.
•An external power supply. If using an external power supply, the current consumption cannot exceed 150mA for
PGM1 and 1A for PGM2. If the external power supply’s current consumption limit is less than that of the PGM it is
connected to, than the current consumption will not exceed the power supply’s current limit.
The Spectra 1759MG control panel also has a 5A relay. This relay can be connected as shown in Figure 3 on page 5.
The Alarm Relay can be programmed to follow the bell output or the activation and deactivation of the Global PGM
(see Alarm Relay Options on page 35).
* UL Note: The AUX and PGM terminals cannot exceed 200mA for UL installations.

Figure 3: Relay and PGM Connections
2.9 Single Zone Inputs
Detection devices such as motion detectors and door contacts are connected to the control panel's zone input terminals. Figure 4
demonstrates single zone input terminal connections recognized by Spectra. Once connected, the associated zone's parameters
must be defined. For details refer to Zone Programming on page 12.
Figure 4: Single Zone Input Connections
2.10 Keypad and Keypad Zone Connections
To connect the keypads to the control panel, remove the back cover and wire the GRN, YEL, RED, and BLK terminals of each
keypad to the corresponding terminals on the control panel as shown in Figure 2 on page 3. There is no limit to the number of
keypads that can be connected to the control panel as long as the current consumption does not surpass 700mA*. See Keypad
Tamper Supervision on page 37.
Each keypad has one zone input terminal, allowing you to connect one motion detector or door contact directly to a keypad. The
Alarm Relay (5A) can be
programmed to follow the
BELL output or the Global
PGM.

keypad can then communicate the status of the zone to the control panel. A maximum of two keypad zones can be used with
each control panel. After connecting the device, the zone's parameters must be defined. For details on zone recognition and
Zone Programming on page 12. Also, refer to the feature Reassign Keypad Zone 2 on page 12.
Example: A door contact located at the entry point of an establishment can be wired directly to the input terminal of the entry
point keypad instead of wiring the door contact all the way to the control panel.
Figure 5: Keypad Zone Connections
When a 1641 LCD keypad is connected to the 1759MG, the Keypad Zone Sending option (Option [2] key [1]) determines
whether the status of the keypad zone will be transmitted to the control panel. The Keypad Zone Sending option of the
1641 keypad must be enabled during the following conditions:
• If you are using both keypad zones and at least one is from a 1641 keypad.
• If you are using the keypad zones of other types of keypads, such as a 1686H 10-zone LED keypad, and the
keypad zone definition of the 1641 keypad (keypad zone 1 or keypad zone 2; Option [2] key [3]) matches that of
another connected keypad.
2.11 Keyswitch Connections
Keyswitches allow users to arm or disarm a partition by pushing a button or by activating a
switch with a key. Connect the keyswitch (as shown in Figure 6) directly to the control panel
terminals. Once a keyswitch is connected, it must be assigned to a zone and its
parameters must be programmed (see Zone Programming on page 12 and Keyswitch
Options on page 17).
2.12 Fire Circuits
When a zone is programmed as a fire zone, the zone becomes normally open and requires an
EOL resistor. If a line short occurs or if the smoke detector becomes active, whether the
system is armed or disarmed, the control panel will generate an alarm. If a trouble occurs on a
fire zone, the Fire Loop Trouble will appear in the keypad’s trouble display (see page 42) and
the control panel can transmit the Fire Loop Trouble report, if programmed, in section [206].
2.12.1 4-Wire Installation:
Any on-board zone can be defined as a fire zone (see page 13) when using the 4-
wire installation. Connect the smoke detectors (as shown in Figure 7) directly to the
control panel terminals. Program the PGM with the “[PG]/[FNC1] Key was Pressed”
Activation Event (see page 34) so the smoke detectors can be reset by pressing the
[PG]or [FNC1]key. Pressing the [PG]or [FNC1]key will interrupt power to the smoke
detectors for 4 seconds (see PGM Delay on page 35).
It is recommended that all smoke detectors be connected using a daisy chain
configuration.
Do not place a jumper across the zone and
“BLK” input terminals of the keypads that
are not using their keypad zones.

Part 4: Access Codes
The Spectra 1759MG control panel supports the following access codes:
4.1 Access Code Length
Section [127]: System Options
Option [2] OFF = 6-Digit Access Codes
Option [2] ON = 4-Digit Access Codes (default)
All access codes can be set to lengths of either 4- or 6-digits. When the 4-digit option is selected, entering a 4-digit code will allow
access. Using the 6-digit option, entering 6 digits is required to allow access.
If the access code length is changed from four digits to six digits when access codes have already been
programmed, the control panel will automatically add the last 2 digits by using the first 2 digits. For example, if
the access code is 1234 and you switch to 6 digits, the code will become 123412. Be sure to verify the access
codes after switching from 4-digit access codes to 6-digit codes. When switching from six digits to four digits, the
control panel will simply remove the final two digits of the access code. For example, 123456 will become 1234.
4.2 Installer Code (Default: 0000 / 000000)
The Installer Code is used to enter the 1759MG‘s programming mode (see page 7), which allows you to program all the features,
options and commands of the control panel. The Installer Code can be 4- or 6-digits in length (see Access Code Length on
page 10) where each digit can be any value from 0 to 9. The Installer Code cannot be used to program Master Code 1, Master
Code 2 or user access codes. To program the Installer Code press:
[ENTER]+ [CURRENT INSTALLER CODE]+ [281] + new 4- or 6-digit Installer Code
4.3 System Master Code (Default: 1234 / 123456)
The Installer Code can be used to program the System Master Code. With the System Master Code a user can use any arming
method and can program any user access code, but not the User Code Options. The System Master Code can be 4 or 6 digits in
length Access Code Length on page 10, where each digit can be any digit from 0 to 9. To change the System Master Code press:
[ENTER]+ [INSTALLER CODE]+ [301] + new 4- or 6-digit System Master Code
4.4 User Code Options

station, transmitting the duress report code programmed in section [196].

12 Reference & Installation Manual
Part 5: Zone Programming
When programming zones, the zone assignments are dependent on where the detection devices are connected to in the system (see Table
4). In installations that require using mostly the expansion inputs (see section 5.1), refer to Reassign Keypad Zone 2 on page 12 and
Reassign Zones to Expansion Inputs on page 13. Table 4: Zone Recognition Table
5.1 What is an Expansion Input?
An expansion input allows you to connect modules to the system to increase the number of zones available up to 15 zones. Each
hardwired input on a zone expansion bus module or wireless transmitter can be assigned to an expansion input. The expansion
inputs can be used in any combination. For example, 5 wireless transmitters and 3 hardwire inputs can be assigned to the
expansion inputs. Spectra control panels cannot support more than eight expansion inputs. Refer to the appropriate module’s
Instruction Sheet for details.
Do not assign inputs from different modules to the same expansion input.
5.2 Reassign Keypad Zone 2
Section [126]: General Options
Option [7] OFF = Reassign Keypad Zone 2 Disabled (default)
Option [7] ON = Reassign Keypad Zone 2 Enabled
In installations that require using mostly the expansion inputs, such as using wireless zones, 10-Zone LED keypads may be
unable to display some of the zones. The Reassign Keypad Zone 2 feature changes the zone numbering to increase the number
of expansion inputs that are displayed on 10-Zone LED keypads. Combine with the Reassign Zones to Expansion Inputs feature
(see page 13) to increase the number of displayable expansion inputs. See Table 4 for Zone Recognition.
When Reassign Keypad Zone 2 is enabled, the Keypad Tamper Supervision (see page 37) for Keypad Zone 2 is
lost. Keypad Tamper Supervision will ONLY function on Keypad Zone 1.

Section [126]: General Options
Option [8] OFF = Reassign Zones to Expansion Inputs Disabled (default)
Option [8] ON = Reassign Zones to Expansion Inputs Enabled
In installations that require using mostly the expansion inputs, such as using wireless zones, 10-Zone LED keypads may be
unable to display some of the zones. The Reassign Zones to Expansion Inputs feature changes the zone numbering to increase
the number of expansion inputs that are displayed on 10-Zone LED keypads. Combine with the Reassign Keypad Zone 2 feature
(refer to Reassign Keypad Zone 2 on page 12) to increase the number of displayable expansion inputs. See Table 4 on page 12
for the Zone Recognition.
5.4 Zone Programming
After connecting a hardwired detection device to one of the control panel's or zone expansion bus module’s input terminals or
after setting up any wireless transmitters, define the associated zone's parameters. The zone parameters define the type of zone,
the zone's partition assignment and how the control panel will react when an alarm condition occurs on that zone. These zone
parameters are programmed into one section as detailed in Figure 10 on page 13.
See Table 4 on page 12 for the Zone Number Recognition.
Only the control panel’s on-board inputs can be defined as a fire, delayed fire or a keyswitch zone. The on-board
zones are zones 01 to 05.
Figure 10: Spectra Zone Programming
5.5 Zone Definitions
As demonstrated in Figure 10, sections [001] to [015] represent zones 1 through 15 respectively, where the first digit in each of
these sections represents the zone's definition. Also, refer to Zone Speed on page 17. To disable a zone, clear the contents of the
section corresponding to the desired zone by pressing the [FORCE]key 3 times and pressing [ENTER]. There are 9 available Zone
Definitions, which are described as follows.

5.5.1 Entry Delay 1
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15, First Digit = 1
When the system is armed and a zone defined with Entry Delay 1 opens, the control panel will generate an alarm after
the programmed Entry Delay 1 Timer elapses. This is to provide users with enough time to enter the protected area
and disarm the system. To program the Entry Delay 1 Timer, key in the desired 3-digit delay value (000 to 255
seconds, Default = 45 seconds) into section [069]. Entry delay zones are commonly used at the entry/exit points of the
protected area (i.e. front/back door, garage, etc.). Using different entry delays (see Entry Delay 2 on page 14) is useful
when, for example, one entry point requires a longer delay than the other entry point or in a partitioned system where
each partition may require a different entry delay.
5.5.2 Entry Delay 2
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15, First Digit = 2
Entry Delay 2 zones are identical to the Entry Delay 1 zones (see section 5.5.1), except it uses a separate entry delay
timer. To program the Entry Delay 2 Timer, key in the desired 3-digit delay value (000 to 255 seconds, Default = 45
seconds) into section [070].
This timer is also used as the Stay Delay timer (see Stay Arming with Delay on page 22).
5.5.3 Follow Zones
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15, First Digit = 3
When an armed Follow Zone opens, the control panel will immediately generate an alarm, unless an entry delay zone
opens first:
• If an armed Follow Zone opens after an entry delay zone opens, the control panel waits until the entry delay timer
has elapsed before generating an alarm.
• If an armed Follow Zone opens after more than one entry delay zone opens, the control panel will wait until the
entry delay timer of the zone that opened first has elapsed.
This feature is commonly used when a motion detector is protecting the area occupied by the entry point keypad. This
will prevent the motion detector from causing an alarm when a user enters through the entry point to disarm the
system.
5.5.4 Instant Zones
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15, First Digit = 4
When an armed Instant Zone opens, the control panel immediately generates an alarm. Instant Zones are commonly
used for windows, patio doors, skylights and other perimeter type zones.
5.5.5 24Hr Burglary Zones
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15, First Digit = 5
Whenever a 24Hr Burglary Zone opens, whether the system is armed or disarmed, the control panel will immediately
generate an alarm.
5.5.6 24Hr Buzzer
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15, First Digit = 6
Whenever a 24Hr Buzzer Zone opens, whether the zone is armed or disarmed, the control panel sets off the keypad’s
buzzers to indicate that the zone was breached. The control panel will report the alarm, but will not enable the bell/
siren output. Enter any valid access code on the keypad to stop the buzzer. This zone definition is particularly useful
when a user wishes to be notified when something such as a safe or locker within the home has been accessed
(i.e. a child accessing a valuable collection).
5.6 Exclusive Zone Definitions
The following three zone definitions can only be used for devices connected directly to the control panel’s on-board input
terminals. When a zone is programmed as a keyswitch zone, the control panel will ignore all other Zone Options. When a zone is
programmed as a standard fire zone or delayed fire zone, the control panel will ignore the Zone Options that may have been
programmed, except Auto Zone Shutdown. Wireless devices and devices connected to the zone expansion bus modules cannot
be programmed with these definitions.
5.6.1 Keyswitch Zone
Sections [001] to [005]: Zones 1 to 5, First Digit = 7
Connecting a keyswitch to a zone allows users to arm the system by pressing a button or by turning a switch on or off
with a key. Please refer to Keyswitch Connections on page 6 and Keyswitch Options on page 17.

Spectra 1759MG 15
5.6.2 Standard 24Hr Fire Zone
Sections [001] to [005]: Zones 1 to 5, First Digit = 8
Whenever a Standard 24Hr Fire Zone opens, whether it is armed or disarmed, the control panel will generate the
following:
• The control panel can send the corresponding Alarm report code from sections [187] to [190].
• If a tamper/wiring fault occurs on a fire zone, the control panel can send a Fire Loop Trouble report code
programmed in section [206] to the monitoring station. The keypad will display a Fire Loop Trouble in its trouble
display (see page 42).
• Alarms are always audible regardless of other settings. Fire alarms generate an intermittent (pulsed) bell/siren
output signal as shown in Figure 11 on page 15.
For information on how to connect smoke detectors to the control panel, refer to Fire Circuits on page 6.
5.6.3 Delayed Fire Zone
Sections [001] to [005]: Zones 1 to 5, First Digit = 9
When a Delayed 24Hr Fire Zone opens, whether it is armed or disarmed, the control panel will react as shown in
Figure 12 on page 15. Delayed 24Hr Fire Zones are commonly used in residential homes where a smoke detector
often generates false alarms (i.e. burning bread, etc.).
5.7 Programming a Wireless Fire Zone
Fire zones cannot be assigned to expansion zones. As a result, when
installing a wireless smoke detector, the corresponding zone must be
programmed as follows:
5.8 Zone Partition Assignment
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15
The control panel provides the option of partitioning the security system
into two completely independent systems. As demonstrated in Figure 10
on page 13, sections [001] to [015] represent zones 1 through 15
respectively, where the second digit in each of these sections represents
the zone's partition assignment. The zone is assigned to Partition 1 if
second digit = 1, Partition 2 if second digit = 2, or both partitions is
second digit = 3. For more details, refer to Partitioning on page 36.
How Do I Program a Wireless Fire Zone?
1) Enter [5] in the Zone Definition to define it as a 24Hr Burglary
Alarm (see page 14).
2) Disable [4] and enable [5] in Zone Options to set the zone’s alarm
type to a pulsed Audible Alarm (see Figure 10 on page 13).
3) Disable [1] and [2] in Zone Options to disable the zone’s Auto
Zone Shutdown and Bypass Enabled features (see Figure 10 on
page 13).
4) Change the zone’s report code from a Burglary report code (Prog.
Value 11) to a Fire report code (Prog. Value 04). If using Ademco
Contact I.D., set the Contact ID Options from All Codes to
Programmable (section [136] option [3] = OFF) and then enter the
report code manually. See Spectra 1759MG Programming Guide
for more information.

5.9 Zone Options
As demonstrated in Figure 10 on page 13, sections [001] to [015] represent zones 1 through 15 respectively. After entering the first
two digits, select one or more of the following Zone Options by using the Multiple Feature Select Programming Method (see page 7):
5.9.1 Auto Zone Shutdown
Sections [001] to [015] = Zones 1 to 15
Option [1] OFF = Auto Zone Shutdown Disabled
Option [1] ON = Auto Zone Shutdown Enabled for
selected zone (default)
If, in a single armed period, the number of alarms generated by a zone with the Auto Zone Shutdown option enabled
exceeds the number defined by the Auto Zone Shutdown Counter, the control panel will no longer generate an alarm
for that zone. To program the Auto Zone Shutdown Counter, key in the desired limit (000=Disabled, 001 to 015, Default
= 5) into section [089]. The Auto Zone Shutdown Counter resets every time the partition that is assigned to the
corresponding zone is armed.
5.9.2 Bypass Zones
Sections [001] to [015] = Zones 1 to 15
Option [2] OFF = Bypass Zone Disabled
Option [2] ON = Selected Zone is Bypass Enabled (default)
When a user utilizes the Bypass Programming feature (see page 44), only zones with the Bypass option enabled can
be programmed as bypassed.
Do not program a fire zone with the Bypass option, as the control panel will never bypass fire zones.
5.9.3 Stay Zones
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15
Option [3] OFF = Stay Zone Disabled (default)
Option [3] ON = Selected Zone is Stay Enabled
Zones with the Stay option enabled will be bypassed when the system is Stay Armed (see page 44).
Do not program a fire zone with the Stay option, as the control panel will never bypass fire zones when
Stay arming.
5.9.4 Alarm Types
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15
[4] OFF / [5] OFF: Audible Steady (default)
When the conditions for an alarm have been met, the control panel can transmit the appropriate Zone Alarm report
code (see page 28) and provides a steady output for any bells or sirens connected to the control panel’s bell output.
[4] OFF / [5] ON: Audible Pulsed Alarm
When the conditions for an alarm have been met, the control panel can transmit the appropriate Zone Alarm report
code (see page 28) and provides a pulsed output (see Figure 11 on page 15) for any bells or sirens connected to the
control panel’s bell output.
[4] ON / [5] OFF: Silent Alarm
When the conditions for an alarm are met, the control panel can transmit the appropriate Zone Alarm report code (see
page 28) and will not activate the control panel’s bell output. The appropriate ARM or STATUS LED on the keypads will
flash to indicate an alarm and the user will still have to disarm the system.
[4] ON / [5] ON: Report Only
When the conditions for an alarm have been met, the control panel can transmit the appropriate Zone Alarm report
code (see page 28). The system will not have to be disarmed.
5.9.5 Intellizone
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15
Option [6] OFF = Intellizone Disabled (default)
Option [6] ON = Intellizone Enabled for Selected Zone
This feature reduces the possibility of false alarms. When a zone with the Intellizone option opens, the panel does not
immediately generate an alarm. First it triggers the Intellizone Delay Timer. To program the Intellizone Delay Timer, key
in the desired 3-digit value (010 to 255 seconds, Default = 48 seconds) into section [084]. If any of the following
conditions occur during this period, the panel will generate an alarm:
• During the Intellizone Delay, a second zone has caused an alarm.
• During the Intellizone Delay, the zone in alarm has restored (closed) and re-occurred (opened).
• The zone in alarm remains open for the entire Intellizone Delay.
