Panel Programming Methods
To conduct panel programming, use the keypad or initiate communication with Espload (see page 11).
Use of
Espload is highly recommended, as it greatly reduces the potential for data entry errors during
programming. For Keypad Programming instruction, refer to "Programming Guide".
Battery Hook-Up
(required on UL/ULC installations)
Use a 12VDC 7AH rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell battery. Connect
"red" battery lead to positive battery terminal, and "black" battery lead to
negative battery terminal. Reversed connections will blow the battery
fuse. Battery should not be connected until AC panel connections have
been made. After connecting battery [
TRBL
] key should illuminate.
Pressing [
TRBL
] causes key [8] to illuminate (trouble indicator for "timer
loss"). (See "Trouble Display Monitoring" section, page 27-28.)
Warning: Do not connect battery until all wiring is completed.
Battery Test
The panel verifies battery connection every 60 seconds. If the battery is not connected, trouble indicator
key [1] illuminates. If battery is connected, a 4 second test of battery under load is conducted. Test fail-
ure causes trouble indicator key [1] to illuminate, indicating that battery capacity is insufficient. When the
panel runs on battery power, with or without AC, if battery voltage drops to 10.5 volts, trouble indicator
key [1] will illuminate. (If programmed, a trouble report code will also be sent to the central station.) At 8.5
volts all outputs are closed.
ESPLOAD
Esprit control panels can be remotely programmed with Espload upload/download software, or on site
using Espload and a ADP-1 adapter. Advanced Espload software can carry out a full upload or download
in just 45 seconds, and provides many powerful features, including a comprehensive "monitoring" mode
to oversee all panel activity, a "scheduler" to initiate preprogrammed tasks at set intervals, and a "batch"
mode to carry out preprogrammed tasks following a call from the panel. There is no limit to the number of
account files or panel defaults that can be created, and thousands of programming combinations can be
assigned to PGM outputs using Espload. Espload can be converted to the language of your choice, and
individualized help menus can also be generated. Contact your local Paradox Distributor for your free
copy of Espload software.
KEYPAD
To program Esprit panels via the keypad, first complete the programming work sheets and follow the pro-
gramming procedures outlined in the "Programming Guide".
