Just thought I'd add a note to anyone who cares that the Merlin alarm panels
are a modified Paradox Spectra panel.

I got one the other day during a takeover, and hooked it up on the bench.
The Merlin keypad is a modified standard Spectra keypad, and the standard
Spectra keypad does work with the Merlin panel. The on board layout of chips
is somewhat different, but so far, I haven't been able to determine if the
programming is identical to the Spectra. Since it was locked, I'm also
having to go through my usual series of experimental processes to determine
how best to unlock it. I'll have to find some information about programming
the thing somewhere (which likely is identical to the Spectra panel I would
think....)

Decent looking panel though pretty small with only 5 zones. Looks to be up
to Paradox's high quality standards from what I can tell from looking at
it....
