6.4 SUPERVISION OPTIONS
The Supervision Options cannot be used with any remote controls assigned to the control panel.
6.4.1 CHECK-IN SUPERVISION
Section [610]: Supervision Options
Option [1] OFF = Check-in supervision disabled (default)
Option [1] ON = Check-in supervision enabled
Option [1] enables the Check-in Supervision feature. The Spectra 1759EX waits for each of its assigned wireless
transmitters to send a status signal within a specified time period (as programmed in section 6.4.2) to confirm their
presence and functionality. If a device has not sent a signal within that time period, the Spectra 1759EX can generate
a trouble, an alarm, and/or transmit a report code to the monitoring station (refer to Wireless Transmitter Supervision
Options on page 42).
6.4.2 CHECK-IN SUPERVISION TIMER SETTINGS
Section [610]: Supervision Options
Option [2] OFF = Check-in supervision base time setting in Hours (default)
Option [2] ON = Check-in supervision base time setting in Minutes
Option [5] OFF = Check-in supervision time value set to 12 (default)
Option [5] ON = Check-in supervision time value set to 6
Options [2] and [5] define the time period that the control panel will expect a check-in status signal from its assigned
wireless transmitters. For example, if the timer is set to 12 min. (option [5] = OFF; option [2] = ON), the control panel
will expect a check-in status signal to be sent from its assigned wireless transmitters every 12 minutes. If the Spectra
1759EX does not receive a signal from one of its wireless transmitters within the period defined here, the Spectra
1759EX can then generate a trouble, an alarm, and/or can transmit a report code to the monitoring station (refer to
Wireless Transmitter Supervision Options on page 42). Refer to section 6.4.1 on page 22 for instructions on enabling
check-in supervision.
Options [2] and [5] must match the jumper settings of the assigned transmitters. For example. if the
check-in supervision is set for every 12 hours, the transmitters’ jumper settings must be set to 12 hours.
6.4.3 LOW BATTERY SUPERVISION
When the battery voltage of a wireless transmitter (motion detector or door contact) drops below a certain value, the
Spectra 1759EX will send a low battery report code to the monitoring station, and a trouble will appear in the keypad’s
trouble display.
Section [129] option [6] must be enabled in order for Low Battery Supervision to work. For more
information, refer to Wireless Transmitter Low Battery Supervision on page 42.
6.5 REMOTE CONTROL PROGRAMMING
The Spectra 1759EX accepts up to eight fully programmable remote controls. Programming the remote controls is accomplished
in three steps:
1. Assign the remote controls to the Spectra 1759EX control panel.
2. Assign the remote controls to User Access Codes.
3. Program the buttons on the remote controls.
The remote control will transmit a signal for only 1 second when a button is pressed. This is done to conserve the remote
control’s batteries.
6.5.1 REMOTE CONTROL ASSIGNMENT MODE
Section [650]: Option [8]
Option [8] OFF = The Spectra 1759EX is configured to use Omnia (OMN-RCT1) remote controls
(default)
Option [8] ON = The Spectra 1759EX is configured to use Parakey (344) remote controls
Though both the Parakey and Omnia remote controls are compatible with the Spectra 1759EX, all eight remote
controls allowable per 1759EX must be of the same type (Omnia or Parakey). Disabling option [8] configures the
