FA575 Installation Instructions Page 2 of 4 Part 02888
Operation
Power supply: A 14VAC transformer is provided with the FA575.
Backup battery: An optional 1.2AH battery can be mounted in the FA575 enclosure.
Low voltage detection: The repeater will report low voltage if the supply voltage (either primary or backup)
causes its DC input voltage to drop below its low voltage threshold.
• AC power failure will not be reported directly—the system will detect inactivity if repeater power is off for
the duration of the supervision window. ‘
Supervision: The repeater should be programmed to send check-in signals to the receiver, but can operate
unsupervised.
To program for supervision: When programming the system panel to supervise the repeater, the repeater
point should be programmed as a 24-hour point. This is because the repeater may be processing signals from
24-hour points and should be given this same level of point status monitoring.
When programming the repeater for supervision, it is necessary to program the repeater to send check-in sig-
nals. All other programming options other than check-in times (like normally open versus normally closed, and
presence or absence of EOL resistor) will be ignored. Repeater programming is accomplished by connecting a
programming cable to the programming header on the repeater, setting the appropriate check-in time when
prompted by the panel or receiver display device, and pressing the repeater’s Reset button. (See panel or
receiver programming or installation manuals for more specific information.)
Test Button: The Test Button is used only in unique OEM applications.
Tamper: Case tamper is provided.
