• Supports wireless keys with high-security (encryption) capability (e.g., 5804E).
• Provides a nominal range of 200' for the RF transmitters (some transmitters have a shorter range).
• Supports RF jam detection when the receiver is enabled.
• Capable of sending status signals (Armed, Ready, etc.) to bi-directional units such as 5804BDV, and 5828/5828V.
• The FA570RF automatically times out the backlighting of all keypad keys.
U L
The following 5800 series transmitters are not intended for use in UL installations: 5802, 5804, 5804BD, 5804BDV,
5804E, 5814, 5816TEMP, 5819, 5819BRS, 5819WHS, 5828/5828V and 5850.

INSTALLING THE FA570RF

Locate the FA570RF in an area and at a height where it is
convenient for user operation. The FA570RF must be at least
ten feet from the control panel to ensure proper operation of
the RF receiver.

Mounting And Wiring

The FA570RF has terminal blocks for connection to power
and data wires. Removing the keypad's case back provides
access to the terminal blocks.
The FA570RF can be surface mounted directly to a drywall,
or to a single- or double-gang electrical box.
1. To remove the case back, insert a small screwdriver
blade at a downward angle into Slot 1 and twist (the
right side pops up). Insert the screwdriver blade at a
downward angle into Slot 2 and twist (the left side pops
up). Insert the screwdriver blade into right side narrow
Slot 3 and twist. Separate the case back from upper case.

FUNCTION KEYS

(refer to Figure 1)
The A, B, and C keys are designed for use as "panic" keys
(e.g., fire, police, personal emergency, etc.) or other special
functions on certain control panels. The D key may be used
as a "macro" key or other special functions with control
panels that support this feature. This allows a single key to
execute a preprogrammed series of system functions (e.g.,
bypassing zones, arming, etc.)
The A, B, C, and D keys must be pressed and
held down for at least two seconds to activate
their programmed panic functions.
2. Route wiring from the control panel through the
large opening in the case back.
a. If surface wiring is being used, wiring may be routed
through the top or the bottom left-side breakout in
the case back. The breakouts must be punched out
using a screwdriver before mounting the case back.
b. If desired, wires may be strain-relieved to the wire tie
point on the inside of the case back with a tie wrap
(not supplied).
3. Mount the case back to a wall or electrical box.
4.
Use the wiring table on the next page when
connecting the keypad. Wire directly from the
keypad's terminal block to the terminal block on the
control's PC board. Wire functions are marked next to
terminals. See the
Instructions for more complete details.
