• Supports button-type transmitters (5804 and 5804BD) for local operation.

• Supports a maximum of 16 transmitters programmed into any 5800 Series-supported control panel.

• Provides low-battery indications for the local wireless keys.

• Supports wireless keys with (high-security) (5804E).

• Provides a nominal range of 200' for the RF transmitters (some transmitters have a shorter range).

• Supports RF jam detection when the receiver is enabled.

• Provides wireless key support for control panels that do not support RF themselves (e.g., FA110C).

• 5800TM Transmitter Module

• Normally-open relay output.

The following 5800 series transmitters are not intended for use in UL installations: 5802, 5802MN,

Programming Features

• Provides an Auto Enroll mode for programming of the wireless keys.

• Provides a method for deleting a serial number and re-enrolling a new one in its place.

Additional Features

• Sends status signals (Armed, Ready, etc.) to bi-directional units such as 5804BDV.

• Operates the on-board relay in conjunction with the receiver (for example, to trip a garage door opener).

• Can activate relays programmed into the control panel.

• Provides an End User mode to enable/disable local wireless keys (for example, if a user accidentally loses a

* Two FA270RFs are needed for this application. One connected to partition 1’s keypad terminals and one connected to partition 2’s. ** If using an RF keypad on only one partition, the FA270RF’s partition assignment must match the partition set in field 1*48. *** If set for Local on a partition control, the FA270RF’s partition assignment must match the partition programmed in the BD device.

Installing the FA270RF

Locate the FA270RF in an area and at a height where it is convenient for users to operate the system. The FA270RF must be at least ten feet from the control panel to ensure proper operation of the RF receiver.

To install the FA270RF, refer to Figure 1 and the Wiring Table for wiring connections and perform the following steps:

Step Action

1 Remove the case back by pushing down the two snaps along the FA270RF’s bottom edge and pulling the case apart.

3 Mount the case back directly to a wall or electrical gang box.

5 Connect the wires for the relay output (if used) to the terminals on the FA270RF’s PC board. 6 Reattach the keypad to its case back. 7 Remove the clear protective films from the LCD display and install the keypad labels, as required.

Route the wiring from the control panel through the opening in the case back. (See the control panel’s instructions for proper wire run lengths.)

Connect the power and data wires from the control panel to the terminals on the FA270RF as indicated in the wiring table adjacent to Figure 1 above.

Note: Upon power-up or exit of the Program Mode, the FA270RF alternately flashes "Ad" and the 2-digit keypad address

and the 2-digit receiver address on the display. Press any key to display the system status.

FA270RF Programming

The FA270RF is shipped with pre-programmed default values. Below is a chart showing these values. Later in these instructions are diagrams showing the wireless keys' loops and their default functions. Regardless of which wireless key you use (even if it is one not shown), loops 1-4 are defaulted for all eight devices as shown. These values may be changed to suit the installation.

Entering Program Mode

Press the [1] and [3] keys simultaneously for a few seconds within 30 seconds after applying power or within 30 seconds after removing the case back. The keypad beeps three times, and two dashes and two zeroes flash alternately in the upper left-hand corner of the display. If any other numbers or letters flash in the display, press the [✱] key.

Pressing the [1] and [3] keys 30 seconds or more after applying power allows you to enter the User mode. This mode provides a means to enable and disable individual local wireless keys (useful if, for example, a user accidentally loses a wireless key). Refer to the FA270RF User Guide for procedural instructions.

Programming Operations

Once you have entered the Program mode, you may move to any program address simply by entering the program address number. The FA270RF will automatically exit the Program mode if no keys are pressed for 90 seconds. While in the Program mode:

• Pressing the [✱] key stores the information displayed, then moves you to the next prompt, and the keypad beeps twice.

• Pressing the [#] key erases the current information and moves you back so you may enter the correct information.

Enter a program address (for example, press [1] for Keypad Address; [2] for Receiver Address) to set the parameters in the FA270RF. The following chart lists the program addresses, the keypad display and the choices.
