The
VALID DECODE LED
indicates transmissions from transmitters programmed to the receiver.
The receiver programs the transmitter with the following fixed parameters:
•
No EOL resistor.
•
No Internal Contact. (The receiver will not support the FA200W or FA210W widegap internal magnet
contact.)
•
60-second supervisory check-in. (The transmitter sends a supervisory signal every 60 seconds. Some
transmitters check in at 150-second intervals.) The receiver, with a fixed 60-minute supervisory
window, will declare the point inactive if no supervisory signal is received within 1 hour of the latest
signal.
•
The Fault Output is Latching for low battery or tamper faults. It is Follower for Inactive faults.
•
The Alarm Output is Follower (follows the state of the transmitter).
Note: FA transmitters have non-volatile memory. It is not necessary to reprogram transmitters after losing
power or changing batteries. Press the transmitter reset button to restore programming.
Installation:
Power: Supply power and ground to terminals marked 13.6V and GND on the terminal block.
Mounting: Use supplied hardware to attach FA401 or FA401R housing to wall or surface. To route wiring
out the back of the unit, use a small flat screwdriver or utility knife to remove the knockout in the housing
base. If possible, orient the antenna side of the receiver toward the transmitter. This enhances reception.
