• 60-second supervisory check-in. (The transmitter sends a supervisory signal every 60 seconds. Some
transmitters check in at 150-second intervals.) The receiver, with a fixed 4-hour supervisory window,

Replacing one transmitter with another:
1) Before programming a new transmitter to a previously used point, delete the first transmitter as shown below.

to the return loops of the hardwire panel, use one wire to connect each of the FA404 receiver outputs to the zone
