1. Mount the bracket on the
wall with the screws
provided. Screw heads
must be flush or slightly
recessed. (A #8 drywall
screw can also be
used.)
2. Clip the transmitter onto
the bracket. Hook the
bottom catch first, then
press the top into place.
FA210M
Instant Response Transmitter
The FA210M provides an instant response to a
momentary closure on the input terminals. A
1.5 second closure is not required as with the
standard FA210.
The transmitter will only operate properly when
programmed as a normally open input device. End of
Line Resistor and Internal Contacts are not
supported.
3. The housing may be secured to the bracket
with a third mounting screw, located
beneath the battery. Accessing this screw
on an active transmitter requires opening
the housing and removing the battery,
causing a tamper condition (if monitored).
4. To dismount the FA210, pull the transmitter
housing carefully out of the mounting
bracket from the top.
5. An EOL resistor is shipped with the
transmitter for optional tamper resistance.
If desired, attach the EOL resistor.
NOTE: FA210, FA210W and FA210M transmitters
do not require reprogramming after loss of
power They retain programming data in non-
volatile memory. Install new battery and
press reset button to re-initialize the
transmitter
Receiver Programming: The FA116 programmer must be used
to enable the internal contact feature when programming the
FA210/FA210W to FA464DR or FA416 receivers. The FA210W
“widegap” feature cannot be used on FA404 or FA401 receivers.
An alarm transmission is caused by providing a
momentary switch closure to the input. Typical
required time is 10 milliseconds, but during the
battery test (every 18 hours) the required closure time
can be as long as 100 ms. In life-safety applications
the 100 ms spec should be followed.
To conserve battery life, the momentary closure
should not be greater than 4.0 seconds.
