FFT-1000 INSTALLATION MANUAL-5409205-REV A  4/21

Operating Instructions

Normal Standby

The green POWER LED will be illuminated indicating AC is present. If the AC power is re-

moved for more than 5 seconds, the green AC power LED will extinguish.

Trouble Condition

When a fault condition occurs, the amber LED will illuminate on a specific fault indicator based 

on the active trouble condition and the local buzzer will sound until the fault is restored or the 

TROUBLE SILENCE button is pressed to silence the trouble condition. If the buzzer is silenced 

and the fault is not restored within 24 hours, the buzzer will resound.

Silencing Trouble(s)

When a trouble is occurring, the local buzzer will sound until the TROUBLE SILENCE button 

is pressed.

Ground Fault

When a conductor contacts and earth ground, the amber EARTH FAULT LED will illuminate.

2-Way Phone 

Communication

In standby, all LEDs are off to indicate no remote handsets are connected. When a remote fire

-

man’s handset is connected to a phone jack, the FFT-1000 will ring and the associated LED on 

the FSB-24 will flash green indicating an incoming call. By selecting the corresponding switch, 

the LED will illuminate solid green indicating the call has been answered. 

Mute

When the MUTE button is pressed, all microphones on remote handsets will be muted. By press-

ing the MUTE, again, will unmute microphones on remote handsets.

Testing and Maintenance

Test this system monthly or more frequently as required by the AHJ. Before conducting any 

testing contact the building personnel and the monitoring facility as applicable. When testing a 

system configured for releasing, activate the releasing disconnect switch to prevent accidental 

discharge of a suppression system. Test the circuits as outlined in the Installation Manual. Test in 

accordance with NFPA 72 Inspection, Testing and Maintenance Chapter(s) and any local require-

ments. The batteries should be marked with the date of installation and replaced every four years 

or sooner if battery trouble occurs. Batteries should be checked with a tester acceptable to the 

AHJ such as a Stone Technologies model STC612A or equivalent. In case of a fuse replacement, 

refer to the Installation Manual for the proper rating. Contact the agency below for service or 

operational questions.
