Programming the transmitter:

1. Remove the FA206DS cover.
2. Insert battery as shown.
3. Enter programming mode for the programming device, using the above recommendations as a

guideline. Connect the programming cable between the transmitter and the programming device.

4. Press the transmitter reset button.
5. When programming is complete, disconnect the programming cable and replace the FA206DS

cover.

Note:

The FA206DS retains programming data in non-volatile memory. It does not require
re-programming after loss of power. Install a new battery and press the reset button
to re-initialize the transmitter and restore programming.

Walk

test: To allow easy setup after installation, a timed Walk Test Mode is available. When the cover

is removed, the tamper switch indicates a tamper violation and starts a timed walk test
mode. When the walk test mode is enabled, any valid alarm is indicated by the walk test
LED and an RF transmission. Note the LED will remain continuously on as long as the
cover is off and the unit is tripped. After approximately 110 seconds of inactivity, the walk
test mode ends and the unit returns to its normal mode of operation. During the last 20
seconds of walk test mode, the LED will flash to indicate that the walk test mode is ending.
Any valid alarm signal which occurs before the last flash of the LED will restart the walk test
timer and extend the walk test mode.

Edges of detector coverage are determined by activation of the LED. Walk test across the
coverage pattern from both directions to determine coverage boundaries.

If desired coverage is not achieved, try re-aiming the mirrored optics.

Operation: The FA206DS extends battery life by "going to sleep" for 3 minutes after transmission of an

alarm. At the end of the sleep period, the FA206DS will trip immediately if it still detects
motion. Continuous motion in the area covered will result in an alarm transmission and
restoral approximately every 3 minutes. The LED is never on in this mode.
