FCC compliance statement
This equipment can generate and radiate radio frequency energy. If the
equipment is not installed in accordance with this manual, it may cause
interference to radio communications. This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for Class A computing devices pursuant to Subpart B of
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference when this equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. Operation of this equipment is likely to cause
interference, in which case the user, at his own expense, will be required to take
whatever measures may be required to correct the interference.
SA-DACT FCC information
Cautions
• To ensure proper operation, this dialer must be installed according to the
enclosed installation instructions. To verify that the dialer is operating properly
and can successfully report an alarm, it must be tested immediately after
installation, and periodically thereafter, according to the enclosed test
instructions.
E-FSA64 and E-FSA250 Technical Reference Manual v
• In order for the dialer to be able to seize the phone line to report an alarm or
other event when other customer equipment (telephone, answering system,
computer modem, etc.) connected to the same line is in use, the dialer must
be connected to a properly installed RJ-31X jack. The RJ-31X jack must be
connected in series with, and ahead of, all other equipment attached to the
same phone line. Series installation of an RJ-31X jack is depicted in the
wiring diagram. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, you
should consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
Testing
When programming emergency numbers or making test calls to emergency
numbers, remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for
the call. Perform programming and testing activities in the off-peak hours, such
as early morning or late evenings.
Compliance
• This dialer complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements
adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). A
label attached to the dialer contains, among other information, a product
identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this information
must be provided to the telephone company.
• The plug and jack used to connect the dialer to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by ACTA. The dialer must be connected to a compliant
RJ-31X or RJ-38X jack using a compliant cord. If a modular telephone cord is
supplied with the dialer, it is designed to meet these requirements. See
installation instructions for details.
• A ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine how many devices
you can connect to a telephone line. If the total REN value for all devices
connected on a telephone line exceeds that allowed by the telephone
company, the devices may not ring on an incoming call. In most (but not all)
areas the total REN value should not exceed 5.0. To be certain of the total
REN value allowed on a telephone line, contact the local telephone company.
• For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN is part of the product
identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits ## represent the REN
without a decimal point. Example: 03 is an REN of 0.3. For earlier products
the REN is listed separately.
vi E-FSA64 and E-FSA250 Technical Reference Manual
• If the dialer is harming the telephone network, the telephone company will
notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be
required. If advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify
you as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC, if you believe it is necessary.
• The telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the dialer. If this
happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you
to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
• If you are experiencing problems with the dialer, contact the manufacturer for
repair or warranty information. If the dialer is harming the telephone network,
the telephone company may request that you disconnect the dialer until the
problem is resolved.
• The dialer contains no user serviceable parts. In case of defects, return the
dialer for repair.
• You may not connect the dialer to a public coin phone or a party line service
provided by the telephone company.

Alarm, trouble, and supervisory relay wiring
(TB3)
The control panel provides alarm, trouble, and supervisory relays.
• The trouble relay changes over on any trouble event (common trouble)
• The supervisory relay changes over on any supervisory event (common
supervisory)
• The alarm relay changes over on any alarm event (common alarm)
Note: Relay circuits can only be connected to power-limited sources. Relays are
not supervised.
Relay specifications
• Alarm and trouble: Form C, 24 VDC at 1 A resistive

Auxiliary/smoke power output wiring
The control panel provides resettable and continuous AUX power output circuits.
Use the resettable AUX power output for devices such as four-wire detectors or
beam detectors. Use the continuous AUX power output for devices such as
remote annunciators or door holders.
Notes
• If you do not need resettable AUX power, you can configure the resettable
AUX power output to supply continuous power.
• For a complete list of devices that can be connected to this circuit, refer to the
eFSA64 and eFSA250 Series Compatibility List (P/N 3101199).

Chapter 1: Installation and wiring
Circuit specifications
• Circuit voltage range: 21.9 to 28.3 V
• AUX 1 + AUX 2 can supply 1.5 A total. If more than 1.5 A is required, you
must use a power-limited and regulated 24 VDC auxiliary/booster power
supply that is UL/ULC and FM Listed (if the installation requires FM
regulation) for fire protective signaling systems.
• For a complete list of auxiliary/booster power supplies, refer to the VS1 and
VS2 Series Compatibility List (P/N 3101065). Also refer to the Technical
Reference Manual (P/N 387515) for a list of compatible power supplies, if
you need to power GSA-REL module.• Continuous circuit (AUX power 1): 24
VDC nominal at 500 mA. Use this circuit to supply 24 VDC continuous power.
• Resettable circuit (AUX power 2): 24 VDC nominal at 500 mA (1 A possible if
you reduce total available NAC power by 500 mA). Use this circuit to provide
24 VDC resettable power. You can configure AUX power 2 as a continuous
circuit if you do not need a resettable circuit.
• Special application circuits
• Ground fault impedance: 0 to 5 kΩ
• Supervised and power-limited
