GENERAL INFORMATION
The FA570CR is an addressable, remote keypad that is

Professional control panels, as listed above. The FA570CR’s
address is set locally, via the keypad’s keys, depending on the

WIRING AND INSTALLATION
The keypad may be surface-mounted directly to a dry wall or
to a single- or double-gang electrical box.
1. To remove the case back, insert a small screwdriver
blade at a downward angle into Slot 1 and twist, (the
right side pops up). Insert the screwdriver blade at a
downward angle into Slot 2 and twist, (the left side pops
up). Insert the screwdriver blade into right side narrow
Slot 3 and twist. Separate the case back from upper case.
Refer to Figure 1 for location of the case back Slots.
2. Route wiring going to the keypad through the large
rectangular opening in the case back.

SETTING THE KEYPAD ADDRESS
The keypad address must be set according to the control
panel being used (refer to the individual control panel’s

Notes:
• If the system has been powered up for more than 60
seconds, you must power the keypad down, and then
power it up again in order to change the keypad’s
address.
• The keypad will not enter the address mode if the
system is in the program mode.
• If 10 seconds have passed with no key entry, the keypad
automatically exits the address mode.
FOR WARRANTY INFORMATION AND LIMITATIONS OF THE ENTIRE
SYSTEM, REFER TO THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
CONTROL PANEL WITH WHICH THIS DEVICE IS USED.
2. Set the desired address:
Enter the desired address. For example, for address 12,
enter 1, then 2. Display shows (12).

✻) to save the displayed address
and exit the address mode. The current address may be
viewed at any time by pressing and holding [1] and [3]
keys together.
