Warranty
For complete warranty information on this product please refer to the Limited Warranty Statement found on the website www.paradox.com/terms. Your use of the
Paradox product signifies your acceptance of all warranty terms and conditions.

Limitations of Alarm Systems

We strongly advise that you review and take into consideration the “Limitations of Alarm Systems” document available on our website at
http://paradox.com/Terms/.

Warning for Connections to Non-Traditional Telephony (e.g. VoIP)

Paradox alarm equipment was designed to work effectively around traditional telephone systems. For those customers who are using a Paradox alarm panel
connected to a non-traditional telephone system, such as "Voice Over Internet Protocol" (VoIP) that converts the voice signal from your telephone to a digital signal
traveling over the Internet, you should be aware that your alarm system may not function as effectively as with traditional telephone systems.

For example, if your VoIP equipment has no battery back-up, during a power failure your system's ability to transmit signals to the central station may be
compromised. Or, if your VoIP connection becomes disabled, your telephone line monitoring feature may also be compromised. Other concerns would include,
without limitation, Internet connection failures which may be more frequent than regular telephone line outages.

We therefore strongly recommend that you discuss these and other limitations involved with operating an alarm system on a VoIP or other non-traditional
telephone system with your installation company. They should be able to offer or recommend measures to reduce the risks involved and give you a better
understanding.

WARNINGS: Information to User

User Codes
User codes are personal identification numbers for each user that allow you to enter certain programming modes, arm or disarm your system, as well as activate or
deactivate PGMs. The system supports the following:
• 1 System Master Code
• 2 Master Codes
• 29 User Codes
System Master Code (Default: 123456)
The System Master Code can arm or disarm any partition, and can create, modify or delete any user code.
Master Codes
Master Code 1 is permanently assigned to Partition 1 and can be used to create, modify or delete user codes that are assigned to Partition 1. Master Code 2 is
permanently assigned to Partition 2 (exception: when partitioning is disabled, Master Code 2 will be assigned to Partition 1) and can be used to create, modify or
delete user codes that are assigned to the same partition.

NOTE: Master Codes cannot modify or delete user codes assigned to both partitions. Only the System Master Code can modify or delete user codes assigned to
both partitions.
Duress Code
If you are forced to arm or disarm your system, entering the user code with the duress option enabled will arm or disarm the system and immediately transmit a
silent alert (Duress Code) to the monitoring station. The duress code must be enabled by your installer.
User Code Length
Your system can be programmed to use either 4- or 6-digit user codes, 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 user codes, such as your telephone number, address, or codes such as 1234.

Keypads
Auditory Feedback
When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide you with beep tones that communicate confirmation or rejection of your entries. You should be familiar
with these two keypad beep tones:

Confirmation Beep: When an operation (e.g. arming/disarming) is successfully entered on the keypad or when the system switches to a new status/mode, the
keypad produces an intermittent beep tone (“BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).

Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to its previous status or when an operation is incorrectly entered on the keypad, it will emit a continuous beep tone
(“BEEEEEEEEP”).

The following are other types of auditory feedback, and will always be accompanied by the flashing of an arm key or LED ([ARM], [STAY], or [SLEEP]):
• Continuous beep = Alarm
• Variable beep = Fire alarm
• Intermittent beep = Beginning of exit delay
• Fast Intermittent beep = Last 10 seconds of exit delay

Visual Feedback
The keypad includes colored lights which convey the current status of your system. The state of each light represents a specific condition in your system.

NOTE: Many of the features in your system must be enabled by the installer. If the feature is not programmed, the keypad will emit a rejection beep and the action
will be canceled. Refer to Zone Settings on page 5 for details.

Keypad Muting
When muted, the keypad will only emit the confirmation beep and rejection beep, and will beep when a key is pressed. Therefore, when muted, the keypad will not
beep during an alarm and will not beep for chime enabled zones. Each keypad must be muted separately.

How do I mute the keypad?

• For K32+, K35, K37, K636, K10V and K10H: Press & hold the [CLEAR] key for 6 seconds to enable or disable keypad muting. If the keypad emits a confirmation
beep, Keypad Muting is enabled for that keypad. If the keypad emits a rejection beep, the feature is disabled.

• For the K32LCD+ and K32LX: Press and hold the [ ] key for keypad settings. Press [4] for Mute Control. Press [arm] to enable or disable keypad muting.

Keypad Backlight
The illumination level behind the keys can be modified to suit your needs.

How do I modify the backlight?

• For K32+: Press and hold the [ ] key. Press the [ ] key to set the desired backlight level. Press [CLEAR] or [ENTER] to exit.

• For K35: Press and hold the [] key for 4 seconds. Keys 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 will flash. Press [CLEAR] to exit the menu without saving the information or press [ENTER]
to exit the menu and save the information. Press the desired key and scroll using the [] and [] to adjust:
[1] To adjust the scrolling speed.
[2] To adjust the backlight (0 = Off, 1 = Lowest brightness / 7 = Maximum brightness)
[3] To adjust the contrast (0 = Low contrast, 4 = High contrast)
[5] To adjust the auto dim backlight level (0 = Off, 1 = Lowest auto dim backlight, (...) 7 = Highest auto dim backlight
[6] To adjust the auto dim delay (0 = Off, 1 = 1 sec., 2 = 5 sec., 3 = 10 sec., 4 = 20 sec., 5 = 1 min., 6 = 2 min., 7 = 4 min.)

• FOR K37: Press and hold the [] key for 4 seconds. Keys 1 and 2 will flash. Press [CLEAR] to exit the menu without saving the information or press [ENTER] to
exit the menu and save the information. Press the desired key and scroll using the [] and [] to adjust:
[1] To adjust the backlight.
[2] To adjust the auto dim delay (5 = 5 sec. / 15 = 15 sec.)

• For the K10V, K10H and K636: Press and hold the [MEM] key. THE [MEM] KEY WILL ILLUMINATE. PRESS THE [MEM] KEY TO SET THE DESIRED BACKLIGHT LEVEL.
Press [CLEAR] or [ENTER] to exit.

• For the K32LCD+ and K32LX: Press and hold the [ ] key. Press [2] to modify the backlight. Scroll using the [] and [] keys. Press [ENTER] to save.

Remote Controls
Your security system supports three types of remote controls; the REM1, REM101, REM2, REM3, REM15, and REM25. The REM1, REM101 and REM15 are the most
basic remote controls, with the ability to perform five actions (e.g. arming, disarming, activating a PGM, etc.). The REM2 and REM25 are more advanced, as they
performs up to six different actions, as well as provides visual and auditory feedback (see table below). The REM3 is the most advanced remote control, as it has all
the functionalities of a keypad (refer to the REM3 User Manual for more information). The following table describes the visual and auditory feedback of the REM2/
REM25 remote controls.

Arming & Disarming with StayD

StayD simplifies your life and makes it safer by protecting you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without ever having to disarm the system – even when entering an
armed area. StayD lives with you and protects you at all times, without any unprotected periods, and automatically re-arms the system so you don’t need to
remember to.
When entering/exiting a site, the system partly disarms to let you pass through: simply notify the system with your remote and go through the designated path
which will automatically re-arm after you pass. All other zones remain armed. The result is a system that is always protecting, without the uncertainty of whether the
system is armed or not.
Other benefits of StayD include knowing when your kids are accessing potentially dangerous areas, such as the balcony, pool or front door. Now you can truly have
peace of mind knowing that you are always protected. Consult your installer for more information.

Advanced StayD Settings

Window Mode and Re-arm Delay
In a Stay-armed system: This mode allows you to open one exterior zone without triggering an alarm. To enter Window mode, press [OFF ], then your [USER CODE]. All
zones that can be opened flash. The system will start an exit delay, allowing you to open an exterior zone such as a window or a door. The system will only allow you
to open one zone as the exit delay will end after doing so. When you close the open zone (window, door, etc.) that zone will re-arm.
When closing an exterior zone such as a window or door, a delay will start allowing you to close the zone properly. The re-arm delay starts when you close the zone,
and you must keep the zone closed for the entire delay period for it to re-arm. This is especially useful for windows that stick thus reducing false alarms.
Live View Mode:
During an alarm, press the [CLEAR] key to view the movement. The zone lights on the keypad will show the opening and closing of zones as they occur.

Arming & Disarming

Take full advantage of your system by familiarizing yourself with all the arming methods. If your system is not partitioned (see Partitioning on page 25), everything
is considered as belonging to Partition 1.

NOTE: If you cannot arm because a zone is open, the system will enter in Bypass Programming. Enter the two digit zone you wish to bypass and press [ENTER], or
press [ENTER] to bypass all open zones.

Regular Arming
This method will arm all the zones in the selected partition. Please note that Regular arming can also be activated using Auto-Arming (see Auto-Arming on page 17) or
One-Touch Arming (see One-Touch Arming on page 17).

How do I Regular arm?

1. Close all zones in the desired partition.
2. Press [ARM] + [USER CODE].
3. If you have access to both partitions (see Partitioning on page 25): Press the key corresponding to the desired partition ([1] or [2]). For both partitions, press
the other key after the confirmation beep.

Sleep Arming
Similar to Stay arming, Sleep arming allows users to remain in a protected area, but provides a higher level of protection. For example, in a two-story house, the
perimeter is protected with Stay arming. With Sleep arming, the perimeter as well as the main floor are protected (motion detectors, etc.), allowing you to roam the
second floor and sleeping quarters. Sleep zones are zones that are bypassed when Sleep arming. For example, when you go to sleep at night, the entire premises
except your bedroom is fully armed. Sleep arming can also be activated using Auto-Arming (see Auto-Arming on page 17) or One-Touch Arming (see One-Touch
Arming on page 17).

How do I Sleep arm?

1. Close all zones in the desired partition (except Sleep zones).
2. Press the [SLEEP] key.
3. Enter your [USER CODE].
4. If you have access to both partitions (see Partitioning on page 25): Press the key corresponding to the desired partition, [1] or [2]. For both partitions, press the
other key after the confirmation beep.

Stay Arming
This method allows you to roam freely within the premises while the perimeter is fully armed. Stay zones are zones that are bypassed when Stay arming. For example,
if you plan on staying in for the night, doors and windows can be armed without arming other zones like motion detectors. Stay arming can also be activated using
Auto-Arming (see Auto-Arming on page 17) or One-Touch Arming (see One-Touch Arming on page 17).

How do I Stat arm?

1. Close all zones in the desired partition (except Stay zones).
2. Press the [STAY] key.
3. Enter your [USER CODE].
4. If you have access to both partitions (see Partitioning on page 25): press the key corresponding to the desired partition, [1] or [2]. For both partitions, press the
other key after the confirmation beep.

Bypassing a Zone
Bypassing a zone allows you to ignore (deactivate) specified zones the next time the system is armed. For example, you may wish to bypass certain zones when
workers are renovating part of your home. Once the system is disarmed, the bypass entries are erased. When zones are bypassed, the [BYP] key will illuminate. Zone
bypassing can also be activated by using One-Touch Bypass Programming (see page 17). If One-Touch Bypass Programming is enabled, press the [BYP] key for three
seconds to enter bypass programming. To remove the Bypass feature from a zone, in step 3 enter the zone number again or press [CLEAR] to erase all current entries.
Press [CLEAR] + [ENTER] to delete bypassed zones.

How do I bypass zones?

1. Close all zones in the desired partition (except Stay zones).
2. Press the [BYP] key. The [BYP] key will flash. Press [ENTER] to bypass all open zones or go to step 3.
3. Illuminate the number(s) corresponding to the zone(s) you want to bypass by entering the zone number. Solid on = Zone open, Flash = Zone bypass, Off =
Zone closed, not bypassed.
4. Press the [ENTER] key to save and exit. Press [CLEAR] twice to exit without saving.

Magellan & Spectra SP • Installation Guide

Bypass Recall Feature

After disarming the system, bypass entries are erased. The Bypass Recall feature reinstates the previous bypass entries saved in memory. This eliminates the need to
manually re-program the bypass entries every time you arm your system.

How do I recall bypass entries?

1. Press the [BYP] key.
2. Enter you [USER CODE].
3. Press the [BYP] key.
4. Press the [ENTER] key.

One-Touch Arming
One-Touch arming allows you to arm the system without using a user code. This feature must be enabled by your installer. If One-Touch Arming is programmed, you
can increase the security level of your system (from Disarm Stay Arm Sleep Arm Full Arm) without a code. See Figure 1 below.
One-Touch Regular Arming
Press and hold the [ARM] key to arm all zones in the partition. If partitioned, keys [1] & [2] will flash. You can use this feature to allow specific individuals like service
personnel (e.g. cleaners) to arm without giving them access to any other alarm system operations. See Regular Arming on page 16.
One-Touch Stay Arming
Press and hold the [STAY] key to arm the perimeter (no Stay zones). See Stay Arming on page 16.
One-Touch Sleep Arming
Press and hold the [SLEEP] key to arm all zones not defined as Sleep zones. See Sleep Arming on page 16.
One-Touch Bypass Programming
Press and hold the [BYP] key to access Bypass programming mode. See Bypassing a Zone on page 16.
Fast Exit
When the system is already Stay or Sleep armed: this feature will allow you to exit already armed premises and keep the system armed. Press and hold the [OFF ] key
for to start the exit delay. After the exit delay has elapsed, the system will switch to its previous arming mode.

Figure 1: Arming / Disarming

Auto-Arming
Timed Auto Arming
The alarm system can automatically arm itself at a specified time every day. As with Regular arming (see Regular Arming on page 16), the system will bypass any
open zones.

4. Press key [1] to set partition 1, or press key [2] to set partition 2.
5. Press and hold [SLEEP] to temporarily disable the Auto-Arm Timer.

No Movement Auto Arming

The alarm system can be programmed to arm the system and/or send a report to your monitoring station if no zone activity occurs for a pre-programmed amount
of time. This is a particularly useful feature when supervising an individual with chronic health problems or for a person who lives alone. The system will bypass any
open zones.

Display Mode
The K37 has two display modes. By default, the keypad will show all events (e.g. zones in alarm, bypassed zones, etc.) live as they occur. Alternatively, the system can
be programmed by your installer to only display zones that cause an alarm or entry delay. If you want to see the status of all zones, press the [ ] key. Zones that are
open but have not triggered an alarm will only be displayed after pressing the [ ] key. The information will be displayed for 20 seconds, showing the status of all
zones at the time the [ ] key was pressed. The zone display will shut off after 20 seconds. For more information on the two display modes, contact your installer.

Magellan & Spectra SP • Installation Guide

Alarms
Alarm Display
If an alarm has occurred on a zone, the respective zone key will flash, the [MEM] key will light up, and the zones will be stored in memory. These respective keys will
continue to flash until disarming even if the zones are restored. To exit this mode and switch to live display mode before disarming, press the [CLEAR] key. When the
system is disarmed, the zone keys will turn off, while the [MEM] key remains lit. Press the [MEM] key to illuminate the key corresponding to the zones that were in
alarm. The alarm memory will be erased when the next alarm occurs and after a valid code is entered or upon full-arming the system.

Disarming & Deactivating an Alarm

To disarm an armed system or an alarm, press [OFF ] and enter your [USER CODE]. An entry point, like the front door, will be programmed with one of two Entry Delay
Timers. When an entry point is opened, the keypad will beep until you disarm the system. Your alarm system will not generate an alarm until this timer elapses. Any
user can disarm a partition they have been assigned to, except users assigned with the Arm Only Option or PGM Only Option.

How do I disarm the system?

• Press the [ ] key.

Panic Alarms
In case of an emergency, the system can provide three panic alarms that can immediately generate an alarm after simultaneously pressing and holding two specific
keys for three seconds. Based on your needs, these panic alarms can generate audible alarms (sirens or bells) or silent alarms and can communicate specific
messages to your monitoring station. For instance, pressing [1] and [3] can mean “call the police” or anything you require. This feature must be set by your installer.

Press and hold keys [1] and [3] for Panic type 1 (e.g. police).
Press and hold keys [4] and [6] for Panic type 2 (e.g. medical).
Press and hold keys [7] and [9] for Panic type 3 (e.g. fire).

Fire Alarms
Upon a fire alarm, the bell/siren will emit three “squawks” at 2 second intervals until silenced or reset by entering a valid user code. If the zone is a Delayed Fire Zone,
there is a delay before the system contacts the monitoring station. This will prevent unnecessary reporting of false alarms. If there is no fire condition, contact your
monitoring station immediately to avoid an unnecessary response.

What do I do if a delayed fire zone was set off accidentally?

1. Press the [CLEAR] key within 30 seconds of the alarm.
2. Try to correct the problem.
3. If the problem persists, after 90 seconds, the alarm will sound again. Press the [CLEAR] key again.

Minimizing Fire Hazards

The three most common causes of fires:
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S. It's also the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking fires often result from unattended cooking and human error,
rather than mechanical failure of stoves or ovens. Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths. Smoke detectors and smolder-resistant bedding and
upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents. Heating is the second leading cause of residential fires. However, heating fires are a larger problem in single
family homes than in apartments since the heating systems in single family homes are often not professionally maintained.
Fire Safety Tips
In the event of a fire, escape first, then call for help. Develop a home fire escape plan and designate a meeting place outside. Make sure everyone in the family knows
two ways to escape from every room. Practice feeling your way out with your eyes closed. Never stand up in a fire, always crawl low under the smoke and try to keep
your mouth covered. Never return to a burning building for any reason; it may cost you your life. Finally, having at least one working smoke alarm dramatically
increases your chances of surviving a fire. And remember to practice a home escape plan frequently with your family.
Providing a Fire Warning System
Household fires are especially dangerous at night. Fires produce smoke and deadly gases that can overcome occupants while they sleep. To warn against fire, smoke
detectors should be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit,
including basements.

Testing & Maintenance

With the system disarmed and the “OFF ” light illuminated, activate motion detectors by walking in the protected area. Open and close protected doors and verify
that the corresponding lights illuminate. Your installer can advise you of the best way to test your particular system.
Do not use open flame or burning materials to test your fire detection devices. Contact your installer for safe methods of testing your system.
Under normal use, your system requires virtually no maintenance other than regular testing. It is recommended that the standby battery be changed every three
years. Speak to your installer about the necessary tests and how often they should be performed.

Communicating Through the Internet (IP150)

You can communicate with your security system via the internet by using a system accessory called the IP150 Internet Module (sold separately). The IP150 controls
and monitors your security system remotely through any web browser. It allows for email notifications of important system events such as alarms, arm/ disarm
events, and troubles. For example, receive an email at work when your kids get back from school, or if an alarm occurs in your system at home.

You can also view live status of your system and arm/disarm your system. For example, you have just left your office for the weekend but are not sure you
remembered to arm it. Simply check the status of your system from a laptop and arm it remotely. There is no PC software to install, as the IP150 is web-based. It uses
a user-friendly web-page that puts you in control. Consult your installer or refer to the IP150 User manual for more information.

Communicating Using Text Messages (PCS Series)

You can communicate with your security system using text messages (SMS) by using system accessories called PCS250/PCS250G/PCS265LTE modules (sold
separately). The GSM module allows you to receive text messages of system events, such as alarms or troubles, on your cellular phone. It also allows you to send text
messages to arm or disarm your system from anywhere in the world. Consult your installer for more information.

Receiving Text Messages

To receive text messages from your system you need to:
• Program the telephone numbers you wish to receive text notifications.
• Select which event groups (alarm, arm/disarm, trouble and trouble restore) will generate text messages.
• Select which partition the phone number is assigned to.

How do I set up the GSM module to send me text messages?

1. Press the [ ] key.
2. Enter [MASTER CODE].
3. Press [ARM].
4. Using the [] / [SLEEP] and [] / [STAY] keys or by entering [01] to [08], select one of the eight telephone numbers you wish to program and press [ENTER].

Sending Text Messages to Arm / Disarm

You can arm or disarm the system by sending a text message (SMS) from any cell phone. The message must be sent to the GSM module’s phone number, as
determined by the cell phone provider (consult your installer for more information). Text message commands have a specific format which follows this pattern:
C[USER CODE].[ACTION].A[PARTITIONS].[PHONE NUMBER]

NOTE: SMS commands must be entered in capital letters.

Example: C1234.ARM.A1.5555551234
C1234.OFF.A1.5555551234

In the example above, user code 1234 will arm or disarm partition 1, and the confirmation message will be sent the following phone number: (555) 555-1234.

User Code
The first part of the text message is the user code (same code used on the alarm system). It must be prefaced with the letter C and followed by a period.
Example:C1234.
Action
It is possible to arm or disarm the system. The command must be entered after the user code and followed by a period. To arm the system, enter the ARM command.
To disarm the system, enter the OFF command.
Example:C1234.ARM.

Partition
It is possible to arm or disarm specific partitions. The partitions must be prefaced by the letter A, and separated by commas for individual partitions. It is also
possible to affect a series of partitions by writing TO between the start and end partitions of that series. The list of partitions must be followed by a period.
Examples:C1234.ARM.A1.
C1234.ARM.A1TO2.

Phone Number
This informs the system of which phone number must be notified by SMS to confirm the status change.
Example:C1234.ARM.A1,3,5TO7.5555551234

IP Information
It is possible to receive the IP address of the GSM module via text message. The GSM module will then send a text message to the specified phone number
displaying the IP address of the GSM module. A valid user code must be entered to receive the IP address. The IP address can be used to configure remote software.
Consult your installer for more information.
Example:C1234.IP.5555551234

GSM Module Phone Number

Communicating by Phone
(Voice-Guided VDMP3)
You can communicate with your security system by phone by using a system accessory called the VDMP3 Voice Dialer (sold separately). The VDMP3 is a module that
can be programmed to call one or more telephone numbers in the event of an alarm. For example, when an alarm occurs at your store during off-hours, every
employee can receive notification via telephone: (sample message) “Area 1 in alarm. Zone 3. Press 1 to disarm the system...”

You can also call the VDMP3 from an outside line, enabling you to arm or disarm the system as well as activate PGMs. The VDMP3 essentially turns any outside
telephone into a keypad. For example, you unexpectedly have to extend a business trip, and for security reasons, would like to turn on your office’s lighting. Simply
use your phone to toggle the lights on and off. Consult your installer for more information.

VDMP3 Instructions

How do I call the VDMP3?

1. From an outside line, dial the telephone number to which the VDMP3 is associated.
NOTE: If the telephone number that is associated with the VDMP3 has an answering machine, hang up the telephone when the line rings, and dial the
telephone number again within the time limit set by your installer.
2. When the VDMP3 answers the line, you are prompted to enter your user code.
3. System status is given, as well as options to arm/disarm (1) and control features (PGMs) (2).
NOTE: If you hang up while in communication with the VDMP3, you must wait 2 minutes before connecting again. To avoid having to wait, press “#” to
disconnect from the VDMP3 before hanging up.

Refer to the following page for a diagram that details how to use the VDMP3.
