Troubleshooting Guide:

i The transmitter is programmed, but is not tripping the output.

Program the transmitter again.

If you have an FA116 programmer, check the output assignment.

Make sure that you are using an "FA" transmitter.

Test the transmitter battery.

Has the system ID been changed since the transmitter was programmed?

i An output other than the one shown in Appendix A is activated.

The receiver's output configuration may have been reprogrammed.

The transmitter may not be programmed to the correct point.

i What does resetting the transmitter do?

Resetting the transmitter recovers the parameters last programmed into the transmitter. It does not

erase the programming or cause the transmitter to stop transmitting.

i How do I stop the transmitter from transmitting?

Remove the battery.

i Does resetting the receiver to factory defaults delete all programmed points too?

Yes.

i The Fault Output does not activate when the transmitter is tampered.

Check output setup programming. The output for the transmitter may be Alarm + Tamper.

i The Alarm Output does not stay on when the transmitter is tripped.

Alarm outputs may be programmed for momentary activation.

There may be more than one transmitter programmed to one point.

If the transmitter is an FA206, an FA204 or an FA207, the transmitter sends a restoral right after the

alarm. (The PIR sends a restoral, then goes to sleep for 90 seconds.)

i The fault LED is staying on. What is wrong?

Press the Review Status button to see the point number and type of fault. Unless changed with an

FA116 programmer, Low Battery and Tamper Conditions will latch the fault output until the receiver

reset button is pressed. Once the cause of the fault had been determined and corrected, press the

receiver reset button.
