Spectra 1738 Security Systems

1. My keypad Chime no longer works and my exit and entry delay no longer make any noise on my Spectra keypad.

All Spectra keypads have a mute feature that is enabled by pressing and holding the [CLEAR] button for 3 seconds. A rejection beep indicates that mute has been disabled;hence, allowing the chime, entry and exit delay to sound.

2. Is the chime and mute feature on all Spectra keypads the same?

‘Mute’ can be activated/deactivated by pushing the ‘CLEAR’ key for 3-seconds on ALLSpectra keypads.

‘Chime’ however, has a different process depending on the keypad;

1686H/V - Press on the desired zone number from the keypad for 3-seconds toenable/disable chiming for that zone.
1689/1641 – Press and hold the number 9 key for 3-seconds, and enter the zone youwish to chime.
Please note: that the 1686H/V keypad is a 10-zone LED-keypad; therefore, zones 11 –16 cannot be chimed or displayed.

3. How do I modify the NOTES labels in my 1641 keypad?

1- Press and hold the 0 key for few seconds
2- Enter the correct 6-digit keypad programming code. Default : [000000]
3- Select labels [1]
4- Enter section [500] to [507]
