Part 11: User/Keypad Functions

The innovative Esprit keypads take a new approach to security features and functions. Each numeral from 1 to 10 (728 Ultra) or 12 (738 
Ultra) on the LED keypad represents each zone, from 1 to 10 (or 1 to 12) respectively, on the control panel. When using the LED keypad 
with the 738 Ultra, if the 

[2

 key flashes, press the 

[2

ND

]

 key to view the status of zones 13 to 18 which are represented by keys [1] to [6]. 

When the zone light is OFF, the status in the protected zone is normal. If the zone light is ON, this means the zone is open. An LCD keypad 
will display the open zone numbers on the screen.

The 

 light on the keypad will illuminate when the status of all the zones is normal (zones are closed). Therefore, all protected windows 

and doors must be closed and motion detectors must not detect any movement except those zones that have been bypassed.

Confirmation Beep: an intermittent series of beeps ("beep-beep-beep") indicates a successful keypad entry or system operation.

End/Rejection Beep: one long tone ("beeeeeeep") indicates incorrect keypad entry or unsuccessful system operation.

Programming Master and User Codes

The Esprit Ultra control panels have one Master code (00) and up to 48 user codes (01 to 48). The default Master code is 
474747. The Master code can arm the system using any arming method, create/modify user codes and perform Key Access 
Programming (see page 44). The User code 1 can create/modify access codes and perform key access programming. The 
access code consists of either 4- or 6-digits and each digit can be any value from 0 to 9.

Regular Arming

This method, commonly used for day-to-day arming, will arm all the zones in the system. To Regular arm, the 

 light must be 

illuminated, indicating that all zones are closed. All doors and windows must be closed, and there can be no movement in areas 
monitored by motion detectors. Once the 

 light is on, a valid user access code must be entered. If a mistake is made entering 

the code or if the 

 light is not on when the code was entered, the keypad will emit a rejection beep.

When the correct user access code is entered, the keypad will emit a confirmation beep and the 

 light will illuminate. The 

light will flash and the keypad will beep during the exit delay period (see 

Beep on Exit Delay

 on page 33). During the final 10 

seconds of the exit delay, the keypad will beep and the 

 light will flash at a faster rate. At the end of the exit delay, the keypad will 

emit a confirmation beep, the 

 light will extinguish and the 

 light will remain illuminated to indicate that the system is armed.

11.2.1

One-Key Regular Arming

To use this feature, enable the One-Key Regular Arming option (see page 32). When the 

 light is on, pressing and 

holding the 

[0]

 or 

[

ARM

]

 key for 2 seconds will arm all zones in the system. This feature can be used to allow specific 

individuals like service personnel (i.e. cleaners, maintenance) to arm the system when leaving the protected area, 
without giving them access to any other control panel operations. The use of a valid access code is still required to 
disarm the system. For more information, see 

Regular Arming

 on page 40.

11.3

Force/Away Arming

To rapidly arm the system without having to wait for the 

 light, simply press the 

[

FORCE

]/[

AWAY

]

 key followed by a valid access 

code. Once the exit delay expires, any open zones will be considered "deactivated" by the control panel. Therefore, these zones 
will not generate an alarm. If, while the system is armed, a "deactivated" zone closes, the control panel will change that zone to 
active status, generating an alarm if the zone is breached.

728 Ultra:

 If a mistake is made entering the code, the keypad will emit a rejection beep. When the correct user code is entered, 

the keypad will emit a confirmation beep and the 

 light will illuminate. The 

 light will flash and the keypad will beep during the 

exit delay period (see 

Beep on Exit Delay

 on page 33). During the final 10 seconds of the exit delay, the keypad will beep and the 

 light will flash at a faster rate. At the end of the exit delay, the 

light will extinguish and the 

 light will remain illuminated. If 

programmed at address 518, the control panel will send a partial arm report code to the monitoring station. 

738 Ultra:

 If a mistake is made entering the code, the keypad will emit a rejection beep. When the correct user code is entered, 

the keypad will emit a confirmation beep and the 

 light will illuminate. The 

 light will flash and the keypad will beep during the 

exit delay period (see 

Beep on Exit Delay

 on page 33). For the LED keypad, the 

[

AWAY

]

 key will flash during the exit delay. During 

the final 10 seconds of the exit delay, the keypad will beep and the 

 light will flash at a faster rate (LED keypad: the 

[

AWAY

]

 key 

will flash at a faster rate). At the end of the exit delay, the 

light will extinguish and the 

 light will remain illuminated (LED 

keypad: the 

[

AWAY

]

 key will flash). If programmed at address 518, the control panel will send a partial arm report code to the 

monitoring station. 

To use this method, the user must have force arming priority (see 

Code Priority

 on page 34).
