FA-101T Installation and Operation Manual Introduction The FA-101T is a supervised single-zone 24V DC Fire Alarm Control Panel. The panel provides the following features: • 1 Class B detection zone • 1 Class B signal zone, 1.7A • DIP switch selectable signal circuit outputs such as temporal or steady •...
Wiring DIP SWITCH DSW1 is used to set the preferred signal zone 1 output, the signal silence inhibit, and the common trouble flash rate. The default output for the signal zone is temporal code. not used DIP switch DSW1 Signal Zone Trouble Buzzer and LED ON - steady ON - steady buzzer and LED...
FA-101T Installation and Operation Manual Remote Annunciation Annunciation outputs are provided for remote trouble indicator and buzzer. Refer to Figure 6 on page 9 for wiring instructions. A.C. Power And Batteries The A.C. power is connected to the terminal block above the transformer.
Sequence of Operation Sequence of Operation Refer to Figure 2 on page 6 for the location of indicators and controls. Normal All indicators are normally OFF except for the green A.C. ON LED. Alarm A red zone alarm LED will illuminate steadily for incoming alarm. Signal Silence If the 60 second signal silence inhibit is selected, the signal cannot be silenced for 60 seconds after an alarm initiation.
