2 Installation and Startup

2.1 Install the Battery

Before installing the FA207 glassbreak transmitter you will need to install the
battery. To install the battery:

1. Press the housing release tab on the bottom of the FA207 housing; pull the
housing apart.

2. Install the battery (Fig. 1).

3. Press the Reset button to initialize the transmitter (Fig. 1).

Note: You must press the Reset button each time the battery is changed.

2.2 Program the FA207

The FA207 must be programmed as follows to communicate with your FA system:

1. Remove the tamper jumper from the programming header.

2. Connect the programming device’s cable to the FA207 programming header.

3. Program the FA207 using the control panel or receiver manual. The FA207 must

be programmed as follows to communicate with your FA system:

• External contacts: Normally open

• End of line: No

• Internal contact: No

• Check-in time: 60 seconds (recommended)

4. Press the FA207 Reset button.

5. Disconnect the programming cable.

6. Replace the jumper on the center pin and either the inside or outside pin of the

programming header.

Note: The FA207 retains programming data in non-volatile memory. It does not
require re-programming after loss of power. Press Reset to re-initialize the FA207
and restore programming.

2.3 Mount the FA207

1. Use the provided anchors and screws to mount the FA207, paying careful

consideration to the following best practices:

• To avoid false alarms, install the unit as a perimeter zone that is armed only
when the perimeter doors and windows are armed. Installing the unit as a 24­hour zone can create false alarms.

• Mount the FA207 at least .91 m (3ft) from the window to be monitored, but
no more than 7.62 m (25ft) away.

• Mount the FA207 at least 1.2 m (4 ft) away from noise sources (televisions,
speakers, sinks, doors, etc.).

• Mount the FA207 so that it is in direct line of sight of all windows to be
protected.

2.3 Mount the FA207

1. Use the provided anchors and screws to mount the FA207, paying careful

consideration to the following best practices:

• To avoid false alarms, install the unit as a perimeter zone that is armed only
when the perimeter doors and windows are armed. Installing the unit as a 24­hour zone can create false alarms.

• Mount the FA207 at least .91 m (3ft) from the window to be monitored, but
no more than 7.62 m (25ft) away.

• Mount the FA207 at least 1.2 m (4 ft) away from noise sources (televisions,
speakers, sinks, doors, etc.).

• Mount the FA207 so that it is in direct line of sight of all windows to be
protected.

• The best location for mounting the FA207 is on the wall opposite of the
window to be protected. The FA207 may also be mounted on the wall adjoining
the window to be protected, or on the ceiling.

• The glass should have the following minimum dimensions:

- Dimensions: 0.3 m x 0.6 m (1 x 2ft) or larger

- Plate thickness: 2.4 mm to 6.4 mm (3/32" to 1/4")

- Tempered thickness: 3.2 mm to 6.4 mm (1/8" to 1/4")

- Wired thickness: 6.4 mm (1/4")

- Laminated thickness: 3.2 mm to 6.4 mm (1/8" to 1/4")

• Avoid glass airlocks and glass vestibule areas, noisy kitchens and residential
car garages.

• Avoid rooms smaller than 3 x 3 m (10 x 10 ft), such as small utility rooms,
stairwells and small bathrooms.

• Because the unit is not hermetically sealed, avoid humid rooms.

• Avoid rooms where white noise, such as air compressor noise, is present. (A
blast of compressed air may cause a false alarm.)

• Avoid rooms with noise insulation or sound-deadening drapes or with closed,
wooden window shutters inside.

• Avoid placing the FA207 in the corner of a room.

2.4 Test the FA207

The FA207 should be tested following installation. Though full functionality testing
requires use of the Sentrol 5709C acoustic glassbreak tester, which switches the
unit into test mode and simulates alarm conditions via sonic bursts, the FA207 may
be field-tested by doing the following:

1. Remove the programming header jumper to test the transmitter. This should
cause a tamper fault (Fig. 1).

2. Clap your hands loudly in front of the sensor to test the microphone. The LED will
blink twice, but the alarm will not trip (Fig. 1).
