INSTALLING THE FA270RF
Locate the FA270RF in an area and at a height where it is
convenient for user operation. The FA270RF must be at
least 10 feet from the control panel to ensure proper
operation of the RF receiver. Refer to Figures 1 and the
Wiring Table and perform the following steps to install the
FA270RF.
1. To remove the case back, insert a small screwdriver
blade at a downward angle into Slot 1 and twist (the
right side pops up). Insert the screwdriver blade at a
downward angle into Slot 2 and twist (the left side pops
up). Insert the screwdriver blade at into right side
narrow Slot 3 and twist.
2. Route the wiring from the control panel through the
opening in the case back. (See the control panel’s
instructions for proper wire run lengths.)
3. Mount the case back directly to a wall or electrical gang box.
4. Connect the power and data wires from the control panel
to the terminals on the FA270RF as indicated in the
wiring table.
5. Connect the wires for the relay output (if used) to the
terminals on the FA270RF’s PC board.
6. Reattach the keypad to its case back.
7. Remove the clear protective films from the LCD display
and install the keypad labels, as required.
Note
: Upon power-up or exit of the Program Mode, the FA270RF
alternately flashes "Ad" and the 2-digit keypad address and
the 2-digit receiver address on the display. Press any key to
