Important Notes
This product is designed to be installed and maintained by professional
security technicians.
Unless specifically noted, Inovonics products are intended for indoor use. This
receiver is intended for use with indoor security systems. Use in outdoor
applications may impair performance.
Test system regularly.
Overview:
• The FA416 receiver is a high performance wireless receiver with 4 configurable alarm outputs and 1 global
fault output.
• The FA416 has default settings which permit 4 transmitters to be programmed to it. Two of these transmitters
may be normally open devices; two may be normally closed devices or have normally closed contacts.
• The FA416R and FA416DR have 5 onboard Form C relays. In all other respects they are identical to the
FA416 and FA416D.
• When the FA516 display module is added to the FA416 or FA416R, the assembly is designated the FA416D
and the FA464DR, respectively. The FA416D(R) can program and supervise 16 transmitters, with assorted
default assignments of external contact types and outputs. The display module indicates point numbers and
status of transmitter alarm and faults.
• The FA116 programmer can be used with either the FA416, FA416D, FA416R or FA416DR. The programmer
lets the user change all default settings for transmitters and outputs. With the FA116, users can program 16
points into the FA416 without the FA516 display module. The FA116 also has a signal level and signal margin
monitoring function, making it very useful for site surveys and troubleshooting.

Note: References in this manual to features shown In Figure 1 will be printed in italics.
• Outputs can be configured Normally Open or Normally Closed via Output select jumper. (One
configuration for all outputs.)
• For N/O configuration, output is open relative to ground. On activation, output pulls to common ground.
• For N/C configuration, output is held at common ground. On activation, output releases to open circuit.
• Technicians can observe output function by monitoring voltages between channel outputs and power on
the FA416 or resistance on the FA416R relay outputs.
• Transmitter, receiver and output options are factory assigned. They may be changed with the FA116
Executive Programmer or with the FA104 (upgraded C104) programmer.
• Intelligent global fault output for tamper, low battery and inactive transmitters. For example, if one of the
alarm outputs is assigned to monitor low battery faults, the fault output automatically becomes tamper and
inactive only.
• Manual and/or electronic reset of the receiver.
• Factory default programming: "Alarm" and "Inactive" outputs are programmed to follow transmitter status;
"Tamper" and "Low battery" outputs are latching. Latched outputs require the receiver to be reset.
• Simple restoral to factory defaults.
• Automatic exit from programming after 4 minutes of inactivity.
• Optional FA516 display module available.
• Cabling knockout in housing base.
• Cabling port with separate shutter.
• Case tamper switch and terminal block for connection to panel zone.
Additional features of the FA416D include:
• Status LEDs on the display module show transmitter activation, tamper, low battery and inactive.
• The Programmed LED blinks when the point IS NOT programmed, is on steady when the point IS
programmed.
Additional features of the FA416R and FA416DR include:
Electrical:
Power Requirement: 11 - 14 VDC, 450 mA
Power Consumption: 60 - 85 mA (without display)
75 - 225 mA (with display)
450 mA (with display and 5 relays active)
Typical: 60 mA (without display)
75 mA (with display)
115 mA (with display and 1 relay active)
Relay specifications: 1A @ 28VDC
Power: Supply power and ground to terminals marked 13.6V and GND on the terminal block.
Mounting: Use supplied hardware to attach FA416 housing to wall or surface. Where possible, orient the
antenna side of the receiver toward the majority of transmitters on the site. This enhances reception.
Opening the housing: Insert a small flat screwdriver behind pry point indicator nubs on top or bottom of the
housing cover. Gently twist or pry the housing cover away from the base.
Installing the FA516 display: Always disconnect power from the FA416 receiver before installing or removing
the FA516 Display Module. Visually check the mating of pins and header to make sure that all pins are seated
in the header.
Note: If the FA516 display is purchased separately from the FA416, it will be packaged with a housing cover
and graphic panel to replace the original FA416 cover. (Specify housing type.)
Installing the case tamper: Connect leads from the Case Tamper terminal block to a zone on the hardwire
panel. The switch is N/C with the cover on.
Attention: The FA540 relay module is not compatible with the new FA416 and FA416D receivers. If
relay outputs are required, the receiver unit must be either the FA416R or the FA416DR . The FA541 singlerelay module can still be used to provide relay operation off of individual outputs.
