Operation 

The receiver will see the FA214 as 4 separate transmitters. 
Pressing one of the buttons activates the output programmed to 
that point. 

Activation signals are transmitted multiple times, and are indicated 
by the blinking transmission indicator LED. 

Note: The FA214 does not send restoral signals; i.e., it only 
transmits activations. The receiver should be programmed for 
momentary outputs. 

 

Attention: Inovonics recommends that the FA214 be 
programmed as a supervised device if used for life safety 
applications.

cover in locations shown below. Wood screws used to mount the 
transmitter should be size #8 or smaller. Screw head height must 
be less than .150". Larger screw heads may cause short-circuits
