Installation Instructions

Hardwire Zones

Normally Open Zones/ Normally Open EOLR Zones
1. Connect open circuit devices in parallel across the
loop; for EOLR zones, connect the EOLR across the
loop wires at the last device.
2. Enable normally open/EOLR zones using Zone
Programming mode, "Hardwire Type" prompt.
Normally Closed Zones/Normally Closed EOLR Zones
1. Connect closed circuit devices in series in the high (+)
side of the loop; for EOLR zones, connect the EOLR in
series following the last device.
2. Enable normally closed/EOLR zones using Zone
Programming mode, "Hardwire Type" prompt.
Double-Balanced (FA168CPS only): Connect as shown
below (resistor provided for one device).
IMPORTANT: Double-balanced zones provide zone tamper
protection, and should be used as burglary zones only. Do not
use double-balanced zones as fire zones.
Zone Doubling (FA168CPS only): Connect as shown
below (resistors provided).

Smoke Detectors

2-Wire Smoke Detectors
1. Connect up to sixteen (10, if "clean me" option used)
2-wire smoke detectors across zone 1 terminals 8 (+)
and 9 (-) as shown in the Summary of Connections
diagram at the back this manual. Observe proper
polarity when connecting the detectors.
2. Connect an EOL resistor across the loop wires at the
last detector.

Zone Doubling

Notes
• EOLR: If the EOLR is not at the end of the loop,
the zone is not properly supervised and the system
may not respond to an "open" on the zone.
• Zone 1 is intended for EOLR only.
U L
For UL commercial burglar alarm
installations, use EOLR zones.
Zone Doubling (FA168CPS only):
This feature provides two hardwired normally
closed zones for each standard hardwired zone
connected to the control's terminals (but does not
increase the total number of zones supported by
the control). If enabled (Zone Programming mode,
"Hardwire Type" prompt, option "3"), hardwire
zones are automatically paired as follows:
Zone
2
3
4
5

Do not use zone doubling for fire zones.

NOTE: A short across the EOL (i.e., at terminal)
on either zone of a zone-doubled pair or on a
6.2k
double-balanced zone causes a tamper condition
(displayed as CHECK plus zone numbers)
Notes
• • • • Fire Verification (zone type 16): The control
panel will "verify" a fire alarm by resetting the
smoke detectors after the first alarm trigger, and
then waiting 90 seconds for a second alarm
trigger. If the smoke detector or thermostat does
not trigger again, the control will disregard the
first trigger, and no alarm signal will occur. This
feature eliminates false alarms due to electrical
or physical transients.
SIA Installations: If using fire verification on
zones other than zone 1, UL Fire Alarm Listed
relay accessories must be used to reset power as
described in step 3.
• The zone 1 alarm current supports only one
smoke detector in the alarmed state.
• • • • Clean Me Option: If enabled (field *174 = 1;
*56 zone programming, response time prompt =
3), certain ESL smoke detectors
reports as appropriate. If used, the maximum
number of detectors is reduced to 10 (not
standard 16).
† Refer to the ESL documentation included with
the smoke detector for information regarding
compatibility with the clean-me option.
