First Alert FA148CP Series, Installation And Setup Manual

Page: 17 / 96

Powerline Carrier Devices
1. Install the powerline carrier devices according to the
instructions included with each.
FA168CPS: Up to 16 devices (if no relays are used)
FA148CP: Up to 8 devices (if no relays are used)
2. Use Programming Mode to enter the device house ID
in data field*27, and enter the unit code using *79
Output Device menu Mode.
3. See connections diagram in the AC Wiring paragraph
for connecting the 1361X10 transformer to the triggers.
Canada: Use the PSC04 Powerline Interface as shown:

Notes
•
When using Powerline Carrier devices, you must
use a 1361X10 Transformer instead of the 1321
Transformer.
•
The 1361X10 Transformer provides AC power to
the control panel, and also supplies signals from
the control panel through the premises AC
wiring to the Powerline Carrier devices (which
are plugged into AC outlets). You can then make
devices that are plugged into Powerline Carrier
devices perform various functions in response to
commands you enter at the security system
keypads.
UL
Powerline Carrier devices are not UL Listed
for fire or burglary functions and are intended for
home automation.
On-Board Triggers
Connect field wiring to the desired trigger pin on the
8-pin trigger connector centrally located above the
terminal strip.
•
If using 1361X10 transformer and powerline carrier
devices, use the SA4120XM-1 cable. See Wiring the
AC Transformer section for transformer
connections.
•
If only using the on-board triggers, you can use a
4-wire cable (N4632-4, supplied with the control)
cable as shown below.
UL
If on-board triggers are used, the wiring between the
control unit and the UL Listed device must be run in
conduit, be no more than 3 feet apart and have no
intervening barriers or walls.
Notes
•
Trigger outputs are normally high, and go low
upon programmed condition.
•
The outputs can be programmed for inverted
operation (normally low, go high) using *79
Menu mode.
•
Program these triggers using *80/*81 Menu
modes as you would for any other relay output.
•
When using these outputs, note:
pin 1 = output number 17 (trigger 1):
15 ohms to ground when closed (output
low), open when off (output high, normal
default); can be used to reset smoke detector
power (must set “output normal low = yes”
in *79 Menu mode, and set for zone type 54,
fire zone reset, in *80 Menu mode); or can
support 12V relay module
†
that draws less
than 100mA
pin 5 = output number 18 (trigger 2):
100 ohms to ground when closed (output
low); open when off (output high, normal
default); or can support 12V relay module
that draws less than 20mA
