user-friendly control panels designed to meet all of your technological, performance and security requirements.
We hope that the important features of the
Esprit 728 and Esprit 738, which include a 120-event, PC-
uploadable event buffer and high-speed pre-programmed communicator formats, will simplify your task of
supplying quality security service to your customers.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This installation manual has been created to provide you with the information you will need to understand
panel operation, features and functions. It expands on the directions found in the
"Programming Guide”.
Even if you are familiar with other security control panels, we recommend that you read this manual at least
once to familiarize yourself with panel features. Please refer to the index for a complete list of manual contents.

Security Systems so that you receive prompt and effective service.
FEATURES
Reliability
The superior capabilities of the 728 and 738 are driven by cutting edge hardware. Use of the most power-
ful RISC processors on the market, with built-in “Analog to Digital” converters and SMD Technology,
means these control panels require 30-40% less components than any previous generations.
Total Compatibility
All programming, comprehensive system features, and upload/download software of Esprit panels are
identical. This total compatibility significantly reduces the time required to conduct training, programming
and system upgrades. There’s just one set of procedures for all Esprit panels.
User-friendly Operation
The reduced number of steps required to program Esprit panels via a keypad speeds up installation. End-
user access to most system functions calls for just one touch of the keypad. A “streamlined programming”
feature further simplifies the programming process, by saving data automatically and leading the installer
through the programming addresses without the need to enter them manually.
False Alarm Prevention
Important advances have been made in Esprit control panel technology which guarantee exceptional levels of
false alarm protection. A full range of high tech features dramatically reduce the frequency of false alarms.
These easy to use tools include “Intellizone” definition, “Auto Zone Shutdown”, “Beep On Exit Delay” and “20
Second Delay before Alarm Transmission”.
Flexible System Partitioning
Each control panel can be used to monitor two distinct security systems. Partitioning provides a practical
and flexible solution to situations where combined systems are a necessity. User-friendly Esprit partition-
ing does it all with just one access code. Protected area zones can be defined as belonging to System
“A”, System “B”, both systems (dual area), or given no system assignment (common area).
High-Speed Preprogrammed Communication
Esprit panels can slash set-up and reporting time by transmitting preprogrammed and high-speed com-
municator formats.
Event Buffer and “Real Time Clock”
Incorporation of a real time clock permits the creation of a 120 event, PC uploadable buffer with time and
date. Two automatic arming options are made possible by the inclusion of the "real time" clock. Auto
arming can be programmed to take place at a specific time, or following a set time period without any
zone activity (auto arm and/or report only).
