General Information

Mounting The FA4285 Phone Module
This section provides instructions for mounting and wiring the FA4285 Phone
Module
The FA4285 Phone Module is an add-on accessory for the FA162C that
permits access to the security system via a Touch-tone phone (either on
premises or by a call-in when away).
The Phone Module can announce many of the same words that would
normally be displayed on an Alpha keypad under the same system conditions.
¥ Only one Phone Module can be used in this security system, and only in
Partition 1.
¥ When using the FA4285 Phone Module, addressable keypads must be
used in the system, but set to the non-addressable mode (address 31),
When properly connected, the FA4285 Phone Module will enable the user to
do the following via a Touch-tone telephone:
a. Receive synthesized voice messages over the phone regarding the status of
the security system.
b. Arm and disarm the security system and perform most other commands
using the telephone keypad, with voice annunciation being provided over
the phone as confirmation after any command is entered.
The phone used for phone access must have Touch-tone capability, though
Touch-tone service is not necessary (if premises uses PULSE dialing,
switchable phones must be set for Touch-tone temporarily before attempting
phone access).
A Phone Access User's Guide for phone access to the security system is
provided with the Phone Module for the user of the system.
The Phone Module may be mounted in the control cabinet if space is available
or, if this is not possible, on the side of the cabinet or adjacent to it.
When mounting the Module outside the cabinet, use the screw holes at its
rear which will permit it to be mounted horizontally or vertically (2-faced
adhesive tape may be used, if preferred). Wires can be brought out from the
side or back (a round breakout is also available on the back).
Affix the Phone ModuleÕs connections label (supplied separately) to the inside
of the Phone Module's cover if the cover is used. If you have installed the
module within the cabinet, affix the label to the inside of the control cabinet's
door.
If you are also using an Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) unit, refer to the
AUDIO ALARM VERIFICATION (AAV) UNIT section for the wiring
connections required when using both a Phone Module and an AAV unit. If
you are not using an AAV unit, follow the wiring connections indicated in
this section for the Phone Module.
