Earth Ground
To ensure the effectiveness of the lightning and transient protection
circuits, the control panel must be connected to "Earth Ground".
Ideally, this should be a common ground to the power lines, telephone
system, and security system. This type of ground, called a "Unified
Earth Ground", provides the best protection. The ground connection,
from a grounding rod, cold water pipe or other established ground
point, is made to the green jacketed wire providing a ground to the
panel housing.
WIRING THE PANEL
Standby Battery
The SYSTEM 238 is designed to operate with a 12 volt, 6.5 Ah, sealed
lead-acid battery (C&K Model 1265). Do not use non-rechargeable
batteries or batteries other than sealed lead-acid. It is recommended
that you replace the standby battery every three to five years.
Connect the red lead to the battery positive terminal and the black lead
to the battery negative. The battery is reverse-polarity protected by
a 3 AG, 3 amp, fast-blow fuse (F4).

Terminal Label:
AC
AC power is supplied by a 16.5 VAC, 25 - 40
VA transformer at 50 or 60 Hz. The transformer
must be a UL listed Class 2 transformer. Connect
the secondary of the transformer to the terminals
labelled AC. Use at least 18 AWG (1.02 mm) wire to reduce voltage
drops. The primary side of the transformer must be connected
to an unswitched receptacle. Do not connect primary to
Ground-Fault-Interrupt (GFI) circuits. Secure the transformer
to the wall.
AC POWER
AC Power Failure
If an AC power failure lasts more than 15 minutes, the keypads will
display a system trouble. An AC failure report will be sent, if pro-
grammed. When AC is restored for five minutes, a restoral report will
be sent.
Precautions
Do not share the secondary of the transformer with other
devices. A foreign ground can damage the power
supply, voiding the warranty.
Do not use any transformer other than that specified in
the AC POWER section above.
Available Power
The maximum total power available from the Audible, AUX (Switched
and Unswitched), and Keypad is 800 mA. The switched auxiliary,
unswitched auxiliary, and keypads share the same power bus.
Combined power for these outputs should not exceed 500 mA.
NOTE: The 50 mA switched power available on Loop 8 is
part of the total 500 mA AUX power.
Terminal Label:
BELL & C
AUDIBLE OUTPUT
The BELL terminal provides up to 1.3 amps at
10.5 - 13.5 VDC . The type of voltage (steady,
pulsed, chirp) and the time is programmable.
Fuse F1
The BELL terminal is protected by a 2.5 amps, 3 AG fast-blow fuse
(F1).
NOTE: If any fuse opens, remove AC and DC power, remove
the short or overload condition, then replace the fuse
before restoring power. Do not substitute a higher
rated fuse.
Electromagnetic Interference
Vibrating horns can produce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
While EMI will not damage the SYSTEM 238, it can cause transmission
errors and mis-dialing. To minimize EMI, install a 0.01 mfd, 100 volt
capacitor across the terminals of the horn. The capacitor must be
located in the horn.
AUXILIARY POWER
The SW/AUX terminal provides positive 10 - 12.5
VDC power for devices that require switched power
for resetting. Typical devices are glass-break and
smoke detectors.
The C terminal provides power common.
The AUX terminal supplies uninterrupted positive power.
Fuse F2
The SW/AUX and AUX terminals are protected by a 0.75 amp, 3 AG,
fast-blow fuse (F2).
ARMING STATIONS
Connect the keypad to the System 238 control panel as shown in the
diagram at the top of the next page.
Maximum wire length for connecting any keypad is 500' (152 m) of 22
AWG (0.643 mm) copper wire.
Terminal Labels:
SW/AUX, C & AUX
Terminal Labels:
C, KEY+, DATA, & CLK
The KEY+ terminal (red) provides 11 - 14 VDC
keypad power.
The DATA terminal (green) is data from the

Loop 8
Terminals C and Z8 are a standard loop that can also power 2-wire
devices. It supplies 10 - 12.5 VDC at 50 mA. Use Loop 8 to power
2-wire glass-breaks and smoke detectors.
The SYSTEM 238 is capable of addressing up to 8 Alpha keypads.
LED keypads do not require addressing. Each LED keypad uses 35
mA of current. Each LCD keypad uses 64 mA of current. See
Available Power for current limitations. See page 5 for additional
information on keypad setup.
LOOP INPUTS
Each loop is independently
configured through pro-
gramming. Loops can be
wired with an open circuit
switch, or closed circuit
switch, or with a 2.2K ohm
end-of-line (EOL) resistor.
When programmed as EOL,
either an open or a short will
be reported as an alarm if
the system is in an armed
state.

Connect the keypad to the control panel as shown in the diagram
above. The Alpha Plus keypad also has a jumper, located near the
piezo, that must be removed when used with the System 238 control
panel.
1. Position the tamper switch inside the cabinet at the lower right
corner of the cabinet. For the wall tamper, the plunger should go
through the small hole in the back of the cabinet. For the door
tamper, the plunger should face out from the cabinet. Refer to
the drawing below.
2. Connect the tamper switches in series and wire the tamper
terminals to a dedicated zone of the control panel.
3. Program the dedicated zone as desired: NC, EOL, 24-hour, etc.
Once the tamper switches are installed, opening the cabinet door or
removing the cabinet from the wall will result in a tamper signal at the
panel.
TAMPER SWITCH INSTALLATION
C&K has designed the SYSTEM 238 cabinet to use the Ademco
Model 19 tamper switch. The cabinet is constructed in order to
accommodate two switches. One tamper for the cover and a second
switch for a wall tamper. To install the tamper switches:

Adjusting the LCD Display
To adjust the viewing angle, remove the keypad from the back
mounting plate. Towards the bottom center of the circuit board is
a small hole. Insert a small screwdriver into the hole and adjust
R23, while holding the keypad at its mounting height. Adjust the
potentiometer as necessary for optimum viewing.
Addressing Keypads
Each Alpha keypad installed in the system must have an address.
Addresses must not be repeated. When replacing a keypad,
make sure the replacement keypad has the same address as the
previous keypad.
The first time you power up the system, unaddressed Alpha
keypads will display KEYPAD ADDRESS?. Press any number
from 0 through 7 at each keypad. The exact number you press
is not important as long as each keypad has a different address
number. The keypad will not accept values outside of the specified
range. Should you accidently use the same address for more than
one keypad, the system will fail to properly respond to the keypad
input. Refer to page 23 for assistance in correcting this problem.
Once all keypads have been addressed, reset the panel by
pressing [Master Combination] [*] [6] [8] [#] or by tempo-
rarily removing both AC and DC power.
FACTORY SETTINGS
DEFAULT PROGRAM SETUP
The default programming of the SYSTEM 238 will allow you to

Regular maintenance and inspection (at least monthly) by the installer
and frequent testing by the user are vital to the continuous and
satisfying operation of any alarm system. The installer should assume
the responsibility for developing and offering a regular maintenance
program to the user, as well as acquainting the user with the proper
operation and limitations of the alarm system and its component parts.
Recommendations must include a specific program of regular
testing (at least weekly) to insure that the system is operating
properly at all times.
TELEPHONE LINE PROBLEMS
In the event of telephone line problems, disconnect the SYSTEM 238
by removing the modular connector plug from the Telco interface jack.
Do not disconnect the connection inside the SYSTEM 238
cabinet. Doing so will prevent the premise phones from operating. If
your phone works correctly after the control panel has been discon-
nected from the phone line, the control panel has a problem and should
be returned for repair.
If the phone does not work after you have disconnected the control
panel from the phone line, notify the telephone company and request
prompt repair. The user may not under any circumstance (in or
out of warranty) attempt any service or repairs on the SYSTEM 238.
The control panel must be returned to C&K SYSTEMS or an authorized
service agency for repairs.

WATCH
DOG
Watchdog Indicator
The SYSTEM 238 is protected by an advanced
circuit, called a Watch Dog circuit, that constantly
monitors the microprocessor.
As long as the panel has power and is operating
normally, the Watch Dog LED (DS1) on the circuit
board will flash. If the Watchdog circuit detects a failure, it will attempt
to reset the panel.

Question: How do I program the panel with the LED keypad?
Answer: To program with the LED keypad, enter the Command Location to be programmed, the Data to be pro-
grammed and the press the [#] key. (See also pages 6 - 7.)
For Example: To program User #2 with the ability to Arm only, No Reports and No Shunting; and
a PIN of 2543, enter the following keystrokes:
CL Arm Type PIN (w/EON) Write Data
[0][2] [1] [2][5][4][3][*][4] [#]
NOTE: The first digit of the User Code MUST be the same as the User Number.
Question: How do I access Alpha Keypad Programming to enter Zone Labels?
Answer: To begin Alpha Keypad Programming (you cannot program the LED keypad), enter [Installer Combination]
[*] [0] [1] [#]. Then scroll to the desired message location. (See also pages 7 - 8.)
Question: How do I interpret a Trouble on the LED keypad? How do I clear a Trouble on the LED keypad?
Answer: A number of conditions may cause the Trouble LED to light. See the chart below for additional information.
Question: How do I enter hexadecimal numbers when using keypad programming?
Answer: Hexadecimal values are entered through the use of the [*] key and one of the digits [0] - [5]. For additional
help with entering hexadecimal numbers, refer to page 7. The hexadecimal conversion chart is also found at
various locations throughout the programming section of the manual.
Question: What is an "Interface error 1" and how do I correct the error?
Answer: This error is caused by a problem with the Data line (Green wire) between the panel and the keypad. Check
the connection to ensure that the wire is not pinched or loose. Also try disconnecting all keypads from the
panel (one at a time), resetting the panel after each keypad is removed. Remember, to reset the panel press:
[Master Combination] [*] [6] [8] [#].
Question: How do I reset Alarm Memory?
Answer: To Clear Alarm Memory, press [*] [1] [#].
Question: How do I address an Alpha Keypad for the first time?
Answer: If you have an Alpha keypad that has never been addressed, when power is initially applied, the display will
read KEYPAD ADDRESS?. To enter the address, simply press a number between 0 and 7. Remove panel
power for 3 seconds and then re-apply power to reset the system. For additional information about Keypad
addressing, see page 5.
NOTE: If operating at or near the limit of AUX Power and Keypad Power, you may need to remove
power for up to 30 seconds in order for the system to reset properly.
Question: Why do my loops fail to respond after changing the programming?
Answer: In order for the panel to recognize the programming changes for the loops, either the loops have to be
tripped and restored or the panel must be reset ( [Master Combination] [*] [6] [8] [#] ).
23
SYSTEM 238 Installation Manual
Question: How do I interpret the Unit Status Reports? Can the codes be changed?
Answer: The Reporting Codes for the Unit Status Report is a two-digit code. The first digit is programmed into CL 2A
Digit Position (3) and may be any value from 0 - F. The second digit is fixed by the firmware and cannot be
changed. Please note that programming a 0 into 2A (3) will disable the report and no Unit Status information
will be sent. Additional information about Unit Status Reporting Codes can be found on page 17 in the
programming section.
Question: How do I enter Receiver and RPS Phone Numbers? Why do I have to enter the E at the end of the number?
Answer: The System 2316 is designed to handle phone numbers up to 18 digits long, but the firmware can only handle
6 digits per Command Location. This means that 3 Command Locations are required to store a phone number.
With variations in number length and special characters which may need to be included, the software needs
some method of determining the end of the number. The E (entered by pressing [*][4]) tells the software that it
has reached the end of the phone number and to ignore any additional digits.
For Example: To program the panel for Receiver #1 with a phone number of 555-1212 and disable
the call waiting feature using *70, enter the following sequence:
Command Location 0D
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)
Command Location 0E

NOTE: Entering [*] [2] in CL 0D (1) will display the value "C" and entering [*] [4] in CL 0E (5) will display the value "E".
Question: How can I correct the problem of two Alpha keypads with the same address?
Answer: When two keypads have been given the same address, a conflict occurs on the data bus since two keypads
are trying to communicate at the same time. The only way to correct the problem is to disconnect both keypads
and then re-address one of them, making sure that the address is not used by any other keypad. To re-address
the keypad, enter Alpha Keypad Programming ( [Installer Combination] [*] [0] [1] [#] ) and scroll backward
one step ( [*] [BYPASS] ). Then enter the new address. Don't forget to reset the panel ([Master Combination]
[*] [6] [8] ]#]) after changing the address, so the panel knows how to properly address the keypad. For
additional information about keypad addressing, see page 5.
Question: Why can't my panel communicate with the Central Station?
Answer: There are several reasons for the panel not communicating. The first place to look is CL 2F (1). This is the Unit
Control, if Digit Position (1) is programmed with a 1, all communication except RPS is disabled. If 2F (1) is
programmed with a 0, check to ensure that all of the following parameters are properly set:
Account Number 1 is programmed into CL 0C
Receiver #1 Phone Number is correctly programmed into CL 0D - 0F
Receiver Format and Message Format agree CL 0A
Communication Control (CL 0B) is correctly programmed
The RJ-31X jack is correctly wired (terminals 4 & 5 are not switched with 1 & 8)
Question: How do I disarm my panel if I accidently locked myself out by programming my user code as Arm Only?
Answer: The only way to correct this problem is to access the panel through Remote Programming (RPS) or Direct
Connect (also RPS) and disarm the panel. Then use the remote programming to re-program the panel. For
additional information about RPS, see the Commander II/Monitor II Operating Manual.
Question: Why doesn't my keypad respond? The Power LED is lit, but nothing happens.
Answer: The panel may be in the KILL mode. On the LED keypad, only the Power LED will be lit. On the Alpha II
keypad, the Power LED will be lit and the Service Message, if programmed, will be displayed. To restore the
panel, press [Installer Combination] [*] [6] [9] [#].

The recommendations contained in this section are designed to assist you in reducing false alarms. The first column
contains the Command Locations and Digit Positions in parentheses ( ). The second column is the recommended program
option followed by a brief explanation.
Recommendations for Reducing False Alarms
Program Option CL Program Function Comments
Arming/Combination 09 (2) Combination This feature is enabled to prevent unauthorized users from
Options Command activating certain keypad functions. When activated, this
command will require a valid User Combination to perform such
functions as Bypassing a Zone, Group Bypassing, Keypad
Activated RPS, Central Station and Bell Testing, and Instant
Arming. For additional assistance with commands requiring User
Combinations, see page 21 (Command Summary).
Arming/Combination 09 (4) Chirp Alert This option minimizes the possibility of creating an error when
Options exiting. The system is armed in the normal manner and the user
exits through the delayed exit door. If the door does not close
properly (returning the loop to the normal state), the system will
transition from the Exit Delay to the Entrance Delay upon the
completion of the Exit Delay time the Bell will chirp , alerting the user
to the error in arming the system.
Loop Control 1F - 26 (2) Loop Response This option determines the response time of the loop itself. It acts
Time as a buffer on the loop to minimize the possibility of fast acting
sensors, such as swingers on window foil, producing false alarms.
Loop Control 1F - 26 (3) Loop Restore This option is used in conjunction with CL 17 - 1E Digit Positions
Type (3 & 4), Restore Reporting Code, and CL 2A (2), Restore Receiver
Select. The panel can be programmed to send a Restoral Report
only when the loop is normal and the system is disarmed. With this
arrangement, any loop which is triggered multiple times while
armed will only send one alarm report until the system is disarmed.
This prevents the system from tieing up the central station receivers
and the phone line with continuous alarm and restoral reports.
Loop Control 1F - 26 (4) Loop Arming There may be occassion where it is desirable to program all doors
Type and interior points as delayed. Or you may need to program
interior zones to be delayed only during the Entry/Exit Delay
Time. This Command Location allows a variety of Arming Types
to help minimize false alarms.
Event Reporting 2A (5 & 6) Cancel Report This feature should always be enabled on reporting systems,
Code/Cancel especially if the system does not send Opening and Closing
ReportReceiver Reports. A Cancel Report is sent to the monitoring station in the
Select event that an Authorized User clears the alarm while the bell is
still active. The Cancel Report Code (Digit Position 5) is actually
a two-digit code with the first digit being programmed by the
installer and the second digit being the User ID # when the report
is sent. Digit Position (6) determines which receiver gets the
Cancel Report.

Program Option CL Program Function Comments
Audible/Visual 2E (1 & 2) Entry/Exit If Digit Postition (1) is programmed for Entry Pre-Alarm, the
Switches Pre-Alarm keypad will beep for the amount of time programmed for the Entry
Delay Time (CL 2D (3)). If Digit Position (2) is programmed for
Exit Pre-Alarm, the keypad will beep for the time programmed
into CL 2D (4), Exit Delay Time. The speed at which the keypad
beeps will increase during the last 10 seconds of the Delay time.
Alpha II keypads will display a bar graph in addition to the audible
tone.
Unit Control 2F (3) Enable 4-minute Suppresses all trouble and alarm reports for a period of four
Power-Up minutes after power is initially applied to the panel. This allows
Delay the sensors, such as PIR's time to stabilize when initializing or
prevents powered devices, such as smoke detectors, from
sending alarms when first starting panel with a dead battery or no
battery connected.
Loop Switches 30 - 37 (3) Allow Group This allows multiple loops to be shunted simultaneously with a
Shunting single keypad command. This is typically done on all interior
loops in a system.
Loop Switches 30 - 37 (4) Delay Before Dial This option programs the loops to have a delay after they are
triggered to allow the User time to shut down the system in the
event of an accidental triggering of the zone. The amount of time
is determined by the value programmed into CL 0B Digit Position
(1). The time delay may be between 10 and 150 seconds, in 10
second intervals.
SYSTEM 238 Installation Manual

Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or
have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or
disconnect an alarm warning device.
Intrusion detectors, smoke detectors, and many sensing de-
vices will not operate without power. Devices powered by AC
will not work if their AC power supply is off for any reason and
their back-up batteries are missing, dead, or improperly
installed.
Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells, and horns may not
alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other
side of closed or partly closed doors. If warning devices are
on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, they
are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a
premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or
temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are subject to
compromise by sophisticated methods of attack.
.
.
.
.
While the SYSTEM 238 is an advanced design security system, it does
not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire, or other losses.
Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to
compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These include:
THE LIMITATIONS OF YOUR ALARM SYSTEM
Smoke detectors used in conjunction with the alarm system
may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the
detectors, such as chimneys, walls, or roofs, or on the other side
of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on
another level of the residence or building. A second floor
detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement
fire. Finally, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No
smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In
general, detectors may not always warn you about fires caused
by carelessness and safety hazards, like smoking in bed, violent
explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with
matches, arson, etc.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning
properly when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate
maintenace. Your alarm system should be tested weekly to
make sure all sensors are operating properly. The SYSTEM
238 panel and keypads should also be tested.
.
.
.
Installing an alarm system may make you eligible for lower
insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for
insurance. Homeowners, property owners, and renters should
continue to insure their lives and property.
