Connecting FA416-version receivers to a panel: When the FA416 will be used with a hardwire security
panel, the panel will supply 12VDC power and ground to the FA416. Typically, the ground supplied to the
receiver is common to the input loops of the hardwire panel. NOTE: Ground from the panel to the receiver
MUST be common on the FA416 and FA416D. Otherwise, the FA416R or FA416DR must be used.
Receiver outputs are connected by one wire each to their respective zone input loops on the panel. With the
output jumper in normally open position, outputs may be wired in parallel to a single loop on the panel.

In this diagram, the FA416R output jumper is set
to N/O. The panel zone return is NOT common
to the receiver ground, so a separate wire is
needed from relay common to panel zone return.
This configuration effectively monitors receiver
power, since power failure causes relays to
reset, tripping all zones which are wired as
shown. The FA416R output jumper is set to
N/C, in effect reversing polarity. The panel zone
return is NOT common to the receiver, so a
separate wire is needed from relay common to
panel zone return. Since the loop is effectively
N/O as long as the receiver is powered, the
panel pulldown resistor is installed in series
with the output wire for EOL supervision.
In this diagram, the FA416 output jumper is set
to N/O. An FA541 relay module is used to
provide dry contact switching to the control
panel. Note that the wire from the FA416 output
goes to the "Input" terminal of the relay module.
NOTE: setting the output jumper to N/C
effectively reverses relay polarity.
