When used in conjunctionwith any Paradox Esprit Series Control Panel , remote controls can perform actions such as remote arming anddisarming, communicating panic alarms and/or activatingprogrammable outputs (PGMs). Each remote control isassigned to a specific user and therefore, identifies the userto the control panel when used. If desired, it can be used asa stand-alone system where the remote controls will onlyactivate the on-board PGM outputs. When a button on theremote control is pressed, it will transmit an RF signal.When the PARAKEY receives this signal, it then processes the request and performs the programmed action(s). • Simple, user-friendly programming.• Supports 8 User Codes, each linked to a unique RF Code (2 or 4-button remote control). • Encrypted RF codes for additional security. Does not use DIP switch programming. • 4 programmable outputs (PGMs). • Stand-alone operation (trigger PGMs only) or in conjunction with a Paradox Esprit Series Control Panel (arm/disarm, panic & PGM activation). • Programming keypad connects directly to the Parakey Receiving Module. • Programmable Installer Code.• Software reset. 1.2.1 Receiver:Compatible Programming Keypads: (616 V4.2A & up ) (626 V4.1A & up ) DC input: 12VDC PGM outputs: 4 PGM Output 1-3 Current Rating: 30mA max. PGM Output 4 Current Rating: 5A relay Max Transmission Range: 53.34m (175 ft.) Operating Conditions: 0°C to 50°C Operating Humidity: 85% Operating Frequency: 318 or 433.92MHz Sensitivity: -110dbm 1.2.2 Remote Control:Water ResistantBattery: Lithium 3V (CR2032) Battery Life: Apprx. 2 years Power Transmission: 7mW Current Consumption: 6mA (transmission) 1.2 Technical Specifications 1.1 Features 2 3 INSTALLATION We recommend installing the receiver in a centralizedlocation on the main floor. Avoid installing the receiver inthe basement. Although, if desired, it can be installed inproximity of the control panel. When selecting aninstallation site please take into consideration that themaximum reception distance of the receiver isapproximately 54 meters (175 feet) line of sight. The circuitis static sensitive, thus take great care during handling. Avoid installing the receiving module near or in the path of strong RF fields, such as neon lights or computers. Also avoid installing the receiver on or near metal objects, circuit breaker boxes, air conditioners and heater ducts. These devices may cause interference, reducing the receiver's sensitivity. If installing the Parakey away from the control panel, mountthe Parakey Receiver Module on a wall, leaving at least 2"around the panel box to permit adequate ventilation/heatdissipation. Selecting a site that is not susceptible todrastic changes in temperature and humidity.2.2.1 With Esprit Control PanelWhen used in conjunction with any Paradox Esprit Series Control Panel , the auxiliary terminals (12V DC ) of the control panel may power the Parakey Receiving Moduleas shown in figure 3. If using an external power sourceplease ensure that the " GND " of the receiver and the power source are connected to the " AUX -" terminal of the control panel.The " GRN " and " YEL " terminals of the control panel must be connected to the " GRN " and " YEL " terminals of the Parakey Receiving Module in order to providecommunication between the modules. Alternatively, youcan use a 4-pin serial connector between the controlpanel's " SERVICE KEYPAD " connector and the Parakey Module's " PANEL " connector. 2.2.2 Stand AloneWhen used as a stand-alone system, you will need aParadox 12V DC 801 Power Supply and a 12V DC backup battery. Connect the power supply and the backupbattery as shown in figure 4.The Parakey Receiving Module is programmed using a616 or 626 Esprit LED Keypad. Connect the keypad asshown in figure 3 or 4. Alternatively, you can connect thekeypad to the Parakey Module's " PROGRAM " connector using a 4-pin serial connector. The Parakey can only be programmed using: 616 keypad version 4.2A and up or 6…

General Equipment Information Frequency Range: 318 MHz (Fixed) Operating Frequency(ies) of Sample: 318 MHz (Fixed) Type of Emission: Pulse Width Modulation Emission Designator: 450KL1D Supply Power Requirement: 3 Vdc, Lithium Battery Duty Cycle Calculation: The pulse train consists of a sequence of pulses modulated in width. There are 72 pulses in a 100 ms window. A short pulse in 0.48 ms duration and a long pulse in 0.88 ms duration. Therefore, the worst case duty cycle is: 20 log (72 x 0.88/100) = -4.0 dBm KTL OttawaFCC PART 15, SUBPART C FOR LOW POWER TRANSMITTERS PROJECT NO.: 8R01099 EQUIPMENT: PARAKEY FCC ID: KDYPARAKEYTX Page 7 of 27 Description of E.U.T.
