The
ESPRIT
can report a wide range of status conditions to the
central monitoring station. Automatic test reports can also be sent
to the central station to ensure that your system is functioning
properly. We recommend that such tests be conducted regularly.
Please consult your alarm system installer for instructions.
Using telephone lines, a computer modem & high-security soft-
ware, your installing or monitoring company can perform remote
diagnostics and modifications to your
ESPRIT
control panel at your
request. In addition, your panel can also be armed remotely should
you forget to do so. Depending upon the panel, you may even
obtain a system activity printout. This reduces time and expense
devoted to security supervision and can be performed in minutes.
Look
Everything you need to know about your security system is clearly
displayed on the
ESPRIT 639
keypad. Information is easy to retrieve,
and simple to understand. The zones in your security system are
immediately identified, and important messages regarding system
status appear right in front of you. The large 16-character LCD illu-
minated display is equipped with adjustable brightness and contrast
levels. You can also easily program the “day of the week”, “time of
day”, keypad buzzer mute, and keypad chime zones yourself.
The keypad diagram on the back cover of this manual provides you
with an excellent introduction to the roles of the keypad function
keys. The display automatically shows you the system status and
there is a programmable delay, set by the installer, between each
message. If zone status is normal, the LCD display will read “
SYS
-
TEM READY
”. If any zone are open, the display will read “
ZONE OPEN
”.
The display automatically shows which zones are open but you can
also press
[+]
or
[-]
to select a specific zone.

Listen
Every time a key is pressed, the keypad beeps (0.5 second tone)
to show that the entry has been detected. When you enter infor-
mation on the keypad, it will guide you with beep tones that com-
municate acceptance or rejection of your entries. You should be
familiar with these two keypad beep tones:
Keypad beep tones
“
CONFIRMATION
” beep: When an operation (i.e. arming/disarming)
is successfully entered on the keypad, or when the system
switches to a new status/mode, the keypad sounder produces an
intermittent
beep tone (3 short beeps).
“
END
/
REJECTION
” beep: When the system reverts to its previous
status, or when an operation is incorrectly entered on the keypad,
the sounder emits a
continuous
beep tone (1 second).
"PARTITIONING"
(not available on all models)
Based on your instructions, your installer can program your panel
to recognize and control two separate systems by activating the
panel's
"partitioning"
feature. When partitioning is activated,
each zone can be defined as belonging to System A, System B,
both systems (dual area) or given no system assignment (com-
mon area). User access codes can also be programmed to
arm/disarm one system or both systems simultaneously.
Your keypad can display the status of both systems. In partition-
ing mode, when System A is armed, the display shows “A
Armed”. If System B is armed, the display shows “B Armed”. If
both systems are armed, the display shows “A&B Armed”.
