1. INTRODUCTION
The FA-1025U is a supervised 5 zone 24VDC Fire Alarm Control Panel.
The panel provides the following features:
- 5 class B detection zones
- 2 class B signal zones, 1.25A per zone
- Alarm and trouble relay contacts
- Remote trouble indication
- Remote supervised alarm annunciation
- Individual zone silence/disconnect switches
- Trouble silence switch
- Subsequent alarm operation
- LED indicators for zone Alarm and Trouble, A.C. On, Battery Fault, Ground Fault,
Remote Lamp Fail, Common Trouble, Signal Trouble and Signal Silenced
2. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The panel can be surface or flush mounted. Refer to Figure 1 for dimensions.
For surface mounting, mark the location of the four mounting holes. Install the top two screws into
the wall and place the panel over the screws. Install the bottom screws, and tighten down all four
screws.
For flush mounting, make the wall cut-out according to the panel dimensions. Remove the control
panel door. Mount the flush mounting trim (MODEL FA-102TRU) to the back box using the screws
and nuts provided with the flush mounting kit. Re-install the door on top of the flush trim. The cam
lock may require a minor adjustment in order to compensate for the flush trim.
3. FUNCTION SELECTION
The following jumpers are available for function selection, refer to Figure 2 for location;
JW1 Cut for normally open trouble contacts.
JW2 Cut for normally closed trouble contacts.
JW3 Cut to enable common alarm relay to de-energize if signal silence switch is activated.
JW6 Cut if 60 second signal silence inhibit is not required (Signals can be manually
silenced any time if cut).
JW7 Cut to enable lamp supervision for the remote annunciator alarm zones.

enable lamp supervision for the remote annunciator alarm zones. Refer to Figure 6 for wiring
instruction.
4.5 A.C. POWER AND BATTERIES
The A.C. power is connected to the terminal block above the transformer.
Use GEL CELL or SEALED LEAD-ACID type of batteries only. Connect the batteries after power
up. Use 24V 4AH batteries for 24 hours standby and 5 minutes of alarm.
ELECTRICAL RATING: 120V, 60 Hz, 1A/ 240V, 50 Hz, 0.5A
BATTERY CHARGER: 200mA MAXIMUM CHARGING CURRENT
5. TROUBLE INDICATORS AND CONTROL
Refer to Figure 2 for the location of indicators and control.
5.1 COMMON TROUBLE LED
