NAPCO FREEDOM -, Installation Instructions Manual, Page: 2 / 12

an acoustic glass-break sensor (connected to the F-TP Touchpad
Aux. Zone) should be installed to insure the integrity of the system.
POWER
The F-TP Touchpad is powered by the keypad bus of the
F-8 Control Panel. Each F-TP Touchpad draws 55mA (nominal)
at 12V DC and an additional 105mA in alarm. Deduct these val-
ues from the system standby current, as described in the wiring
diagram.
INSTALLING A SECOND F-TAB DEADBOLT
SENSOR
The wireless Freedom system can include up to two F-TP
Touchpads, and each wireless Touchpad can include up to two
F-LTRANS wireless transmitters supervising two doors.
IMPORTANT: For a single F-TP Touchpad installation
with two doors protected by two transmitters , one transmitter
must be configured as a Primary (NO shunt connector installed
into the address jumper) and the other transmitter must be config-
ured as a Secondary (with the shunt connector installed). The
Primary transmitter should always be installed to protect the door
most often used to ARM the system and EXIT the premises. The
Secondary transmitter should be used to protect a second door
that will be used only for ENTRY (or to disarm when armed Stay).
Although the Secondary door can, in theory, be used as an
exit door, to do so you must always be certain the Primary door
deadbolt is locked before arming, thus defeating the foolproof
nature of the Freedom system. The Ready light will NOT indicate
the status of the Primary door deadbolt (the Ready light will
ONLY indicate the status of the Secondary door deadbolt).
Therefore,
pressing Away and exiting through the Secondary
door (with the Primary door deadbolt remaining unlocked) will
result in the system automatically reverting to an unarmed state
after the exit delay expires
. As a result, the homeowner should
be instructed to use the door protected by the Secondary trans-
mitter FOR ENTRY ONLY (or to disarm when armed Stay).
Similarly, with a single F-TP Touchpad installation with
one exit door protected by one transmitter , the Ready light will
always be on regardless of the position of the protected deadbolt.
This is designed to allow the arming of the system with the exit
door open.
Furthermore, because the Touchpad integral PIR may not
always be able to supervise the Secondary transmitter, care must
be taken to ensure an intruder can not disarm the system by turn-
ing the deadbolt latch at the Secondary transmitter. Using an
additional PIR to generate an alarm before the intruder can turn
the deadbolt latch may not be sufficient (standard PIR’s false
alarm features may cause it to take too long to detect an intruder).
Additional perimeter and/or interior intruder detection devises,
such as window foil, glass breaks or additional PIR’s, may be re-
quired to ensure the intruder will be detected by the system be-
fore the deadbolt latch at the Secondary transmitter can be
thrown.
Note: If the Secondary transmitter deadbolt is unlocked,
the READY light will be out; if the READY light is out when at-
tempting to arm the system, all monitored deadbolts (except at
the primary door)
must be examined and locked before the sys-
tem can be armed.
Test the Secondary Transmitter
The Secondary transmitter should always be tested prior to
installation, as follows: After installing and learning the Primary
transmitter, place the Secondary transmitter in the selected
mounting location and remove the cover. Remove the F-TP
Touchpad from its backplate and have someone observe the re-
ceiver LED as the Secondary transmitter tamper switch is
pressed and released. The receiver LED should flicker several
times. If it does not, try another mounting location. If a location
cannot be found, a second F-TP Touchpad must be used.
TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER OPERATION
When learning transmitters into the F-TP Touchpad re-
ceiver, it is necessary to keep the Touchpad faceplate open in
order to examine the receiver LED and operate the Mode button
(with a pen tip). There are three receiver Modes:
Learn Mode ,
Replace Mode , and Clear Mode .
Learn Mode
Learn Mode allows the learning of the first transmitter de-
tected by the receiver . To make learning transmitters as easy as
possible, when power is first applied to the F-TP Touchpad, the
receiver LED flashes rapidly, indicating the Touchpad receiver is
in Learn Mode. The LED
not flashing upon power-up indicates
the presence of a previously learned transmitter within the Touch-
pad receiver.
In Learn Mode, you cannot re-learn a transmitter
that has previously been learned . You will either need to clear
ALL data from the receiver, or add a second transmitter to the
receiver.
• To clear all data, refer to the Clear Mode section below.
•
To learn a Secondary transmitter, press the Mode Button to
re-start Learn Mode (the LED will begin to flash rapidly) and
a Secondary transmitter can be learned. See page 5, step
17 for this procedure.
Learn Mode is used when installing new systems, or adding a
new Secondary transmitter to an existing system.
Replace Mode
Replace Mode is used when an existing transmitter within
an existing system must be replaced. Replace Mode allows a
new transmitter to replace (overwrite) existing transmitter data.
To enter Replace Mode, start in Learn Mode (rapid flashing), then
press the Mode Button again (with a pen tip) and the receiver will
slowly flash. This slowly flashing LED indicates the receiver is in
Learn Mode. The receiver will overwrite either the Primary or
Secondary transmitter data, depending on the state of the trans-
mitter shunt connector (if the shunt connector is removed from the
address jumper, the Primary transmitter will be overwritten; if the
shunt connector is placed on the address jumper, the Secondary
transmitter will be overwritten).
Clear Mode
You can erase ALL pre-existing transmitter data from the
receiver Touchpad at any time. Simply press and hold the Mode
Button (about 6 seconds--use a pen tip) until the LED turns on
steady. (While holding the Mode Button, the LED will flash rap-
idly--after about 6 seconds the LED will then turn on steady). Re-
lease the button and the LED will resume flashing rapidly, indicat-
ing the receiver is once again in Learn Mode with all pre-existing
data erased.
Primary and Secondary Transmitters
The Primary transmitter that is located in
the same room as the Touchpad is des-
ignated as "Transmitter #1",
and its
jumper must NOT be installed .
If there is a Secondary transmitter in-
stalled ("Transmitter #2"), it MUST have
a shunt on the Address jumper.
