INTRODUCTION:
The FBA-1 Flashback 4 Receiver Adapter
is an “inline” adapter between the Flashback 4
and the Flashback battery. It will supply
“pass through power” for the Flashback 4 Digital
Video Recorder, plus is
a “trigger activation” that grounds the third trigger line to control
and start the video recording process. When the FBA-1 receives a sensor alarm, it will
ground the trigger line to initiate or start the video recording.
A
“runtime” or “duration” can be programmed using the Flashback settings user interface.
HARDWARE, CONTROLS, AND INDICATORS:
i-Conex Power/Trigger Cable and Connector:
This i-Conex miniature connector connects directly from the FBA-1 adapter into the back of
the Flashback 4 and is capable of handling power input ranging from 6
– 30 VDC. This
same cable also is
the “trigger” to activate the recording process.
i-Conex Battery Power Cable and Connector:
This i-Conex miniature connector connects directly to the Flashback 4 battery power
source and is capable of handling power input ranging from 6
– 30 VDC.
RED LED:
The RED LED is used during Range Test Mode. It illuminates during the first 5 seconds
after applying power to the FRM-1 to will illuminate with every incoming sensor alarm and
stays on for the 1 to 2 minute duration of the Range Test Mode, indicating the trigger line is
grounded. Always active, no covert mode.
BLUE LED:
The BLUE LED is used as an alarm indicator for any Sensor with an ID 1. It illuminates
with every incoming sensor alarm ID 1 and stays on for 3 seconds, indicating the trigger
line is grounded. Always active, no covert mode.
GREEN LED:
The GREEN LED is used as an alarm indicator for any Sensor with an ID 2. It illuminates
with every incoming sensor alarm ID 2 and stays on for 3 seconds, indicating the trigger
line is grounded. Always active, no covert mode.
ANTENNA:
The flexible stainless antenna allows for reception of the sensor alarm RF signal.
IMPORTANT: VOLTAGE WARNING!
Always refer to the Flashback User Guide for documentation as to the correct
“input voltage ranges” when powering that device using the
FBA-1. (ie. The
Flashback 4 DVR has a range of 6 to 30 VDC!) Exceeding this voltage may
permanently damage the device.
