Model FA1004-3
Installation
Please contact a licensed fire alarm installer for installation and working with this product. Improper installation can damage
your fire alarm and/or prevent proper operation of the fire alarm. Technical support is available at (800) 572-5227.
1. The FA1004-3 is designed to interface with a dry contact output. It will transmit as long as the contact is closed and will stop
transmitting when the contact opens.
2. Using the supplied Velcro strip, attach the Fire transmitter to the wall next to the alarm panel.
Operation
1. The FA1004-3 will transmit as long as the contact is closed. It will cause a FIRE indication on any Silent Call receiver.
2. Range is approximately 100-500 feet, depending on which Silent Call receiver you are using and the local conditions.
3. This unit is powered by two AAA size alkaline cells. Actual battery life is determined by the amount of time the transmitter is
transmitting. In normal use the batteries may be expected to last several years. However, they should be changed once a year.
Switch settings
The Silent Call system is digitally coded. The code sent by the transmitter must match the code that your receiver has been set for.
All Silent Call receivers and transmitters leave the factory set for the default code of 1, 2 and 3 = OFF and 4 and 5 = ON. Unless you
have changed the code in your receiver from the factory default setting, you do not need to change the switch settings in your
transmitter.
The code switch is accessed by removing the battery cover. The first five positions (left to right)
determine the code that the transmitter sends when it activates. Positions 6-9 determine which
light activates on your receiver. Do not change the settings of positions 6-9. If you accidentally
disturb them, the correct setting for positions 6-9 is 6 ON, 7 ON, 8 ON, 9 OFF.
