Programming the transmitter:
1) Select Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) transmitter contact by positioning the jumper on the
receiver's 3-pin
TRANSMITTER CONTACT SELECTION HEADER .
2) Plug programming cable to 3-pin TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING HEADER on the receiver. Orientation of the cable
connnector to the header pins makes no difference.
3) Press the TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING BUTTON on the receiver. It is located next to the TX PGM HEADER . Hold for at
least 1 second.The receiver goes into program mode. It exits as soon as the transmitter is programmed or times
out after 30 seconds.
4) The PROGRAMMING MODE LED will flash if no transmitter has been programmed to the receiver. If the LED is on
solid, press RESET / DELETE button to clear previous transmitter.
5) Connect the programming cable to 3-pin header on transmitter. Orientation of the connector to header pins does
not matter.
6) Press the transmitter reset button. (Refer to pages 5 and 6 for locations of transmitter reset buttons.)
7) If programming is successful, program mode will terminate: the INACTIVE LED will go out immediately and the VALID
DECODE LED will resume normal operation, flickering intermittently.
Receiver Operation:
Output activation: Output activation: The FA401 has N/O open collector Alarm and Fault outputs. Output is
open relative to ground. On activation, output pulls to common ground. The FA401R has Form C Alarm and Fault
relay outputs. Output activation is indicated by illumination of the ACTIVATED LED .
Note: if a receiver is being connected to a normally closed zone, the FA401R must be used.
Connection to hardwire panels: When an FA401 or FA401R receiver is used with a hardwire security panel, the
panel will typically supply power and ground to the receiver. When the ground supplied to the receiver is common
to the return loops of the hardwire panel, use one wire to connect the FA401 receiver outputs to the zone input of
the panel. The examples below show typical connections of both the FA401 and the FA401R.
