Using the FA130
ENTERING ACCESS CODES: The FA130 "reads" access code keypresses on a first-in-first-out
basis. When an arming key or OFF is pressed, the keypad transmits only the last four digits
entered. If the user makes an error entering an access code, it is only necessary to re-enter the
correct code before pressing an arming key or OFF. If an arming key is not pressed within
15 seconds, the keypad will clear any input data.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM: enter the access code, and press the STAY, AWAY or CUSTOM key.
The Transmit LED will light indicating that the keypad is sending data.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM (EZ ARMING ENABLED): Press ENTER followed by STAY, AWAY or
CUSTOM. Normal entry and exit delays will be in effect. FOR INSTANT MODE: Press the STAY
or the CUSTOM key again during the delay period. All delayed points will be armed as instant.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM: Enter an access code-and press the OFF key.
TO HEAR ARMING STATUS from the nearest hardwire keypad or from an audio speaker
connected to the control panel: Press the REVIEW key on the FA130 keypad. See Figure 4 for
descriptions of various status tones.
