Overview:

The FA116 Executive Programmer allows the user to alter receiver and transmitter parameters to fit specific applications.

It is compatible with Inovonics FA416, FA426 and FA464 Frequency Agile™ receivers as well as the C404 receiver. The programmer also allows the user to monitor signal margin of points, to test output functions, to clear faults, to add, modify and delete transmitters and to program transmitters. The FA116 has built-in programming cables for programming transmitters and receivers.

The FA116 is menu-driven. Users locate main menu headings using arrow keys, then select headings by pressing the reject current settings for the receiver, receiver outputs and transmitters. Transmitters are programmed by connecting them to the programmer via the built-in programming cable.

Reminder:

What is "Vision Plus Compatibility"?

Vision Plus Compatibility permits transmitters programmed by a the Vision Plus panel to be monitored by an

FA416 or an FA464 receiver AS LONG AS BOTH SYSTEMS HAVE THE SAME SYSTEM ID.Transmitters monitored by FA receivers need not be programmed by the receiver. Once the receiver hears a Vision Plusprogrammed transmitter, the receiver will consider it one of its own. (Note: any transmitters programmed by an FA416 receiver will NOT be received by a Vision Plus .)

Note: output if alarmed or if tampered. All other fault options are global; i.e., will cause the output to activate. Attempts to assign duplicate global fault conditions to other outputs are not allowed.

If an output is modified to function as a global fault output and is currently assigned as alarm to an active point, the user will be prompted for permission to re-assign the output: Note: an output cannot activate based on both fault and alarm conditions.

When output setup is complete, points affected by re-assignment will be shown.

Note:

"Follower" outputs go on and off as the transmitter changes between alarm and secure states. "Latching" outputs go on at first activation, and stay on until reset. "Momentary" outputs go on for a prescribed duration then turn off, regardless of what the transmitter does after first activation.
