Abus HomeTec Pro FCA3000 / FCA3550 / FSA3550W / FSA3550S / FSA3550B Manual

Possible uses and important information

FCA3000 / FSA3550 is a retrofit system for motor-operated locking and unlocking of windows and patio doors that open inwards with 7 mm square shaft and a backset of at least 30 mm. The window sash width must be at least 60 mm.
In addition to the convenience function of the FCA3000, the FSA3550 also offers a window locking function with two locking bars. The system comprises three components: the wireless window actuator, the wireless remote control and the wireless keypad. In order to use the wireless window actuator as intended, you require a HomeTec Pro remote control or keypad. The remote control can also be used in combination with the keypad, as can multiple remote controls. For FSA3550, a matching set of locking bars is also required.
In addition, the FCA3000 / FSA 3550 offers a break-in monitoring function. With the window closed and the pressure cylinder pressed in, attempts to force the window result in the integrated acoustic alarm being triggered with a sound pressure level of approx. 110 dBA. Motorised opening and closing of the FCA3000 / FSA3550 is also possible with the cylinder pushed in.
Before fitting, please check the adjustment of your window / patio door. Ensure that the window is in perfect condition and operates easily. Windows / patio doors that are not in perfect condition or are difficult to operate lead to reduced battery life!
The product is intended only for operation in dry internal rooms. Like all technical devices, the FCA3000 / FSA3550 can fail for various reasons.
It must always be possible to operate one main access point to the property from outside properly. In an emergency or panic situation, in the event of a fault or if the battery is flat, the window / patio door can be unlocked mechanically from inside by hand, using the window handle.
Contact a specialist company if necessary!

Operating temperature range: 0°C to +40°C.

Programming and operation

The following illustration shows the configuration of the keys and LEDs on the drive with the cover removed. The programming options can be found below.

General information

• Use the ABUS Home Tec Pro CFF3000 remote control / ABUS Home Tec Pro CFT3000 keypad (available separately) for all menu items except 1
• Programming of the drive is carried out on two levels.
  Level 1: Programming and clearing of remote control(s) and keypad, and factory reset.
  Level 2: Advanced menu for setting signal tones, torque of the drive and activation of tilt function
• Always scroll through a menu with keys 1 and 2, cancel a function with key 3 and confirm a function with key 4.
• Every button press is confirmed by a signal tone: a sustained tone as a confirmation/acknowledgement; a double tone as an erroneous or impermissible button press.
• You can find an overview of the program structure and the assignment table in "Program structure and allocation table" section.

1. Level 1 - Programming the drive
   • Aim: programming of the drive for your window is required on initial commissioning and after a factory reset
   • Starting position: window handle is in "closed" position, but the cylinder must be unlocked
     • Press keys 1 + 2 simultaneously, after a short time both LEDs flash yellow
     • Confirm "closed" position by pressing key 4; a long signal tone sounds
     • Turn the handle to "open" position
     • Confirm "open" position by pressing key 4; a long signal tone sounds
     • Turn the handle back to "closed" position. When the position is reached, a long signal tone sounds
     • The wireless window drive is now programmed for the window and the two LEDs go out
   • Possible error message: if a position is not detected, instead of a long tone, a double tone sounds. Move the window handle to the correct position and confirm it again.
2. Level 1 - Programming of remote control(s) and keypad
   • Aim: programming of transmitters so that you can operate the drive conveniently with the remote control / keypad. You have the option to set up a maximum of 9 transmitters. If all memory locations are occupied, you can only open this menu item after deleting min. 1 transmitter.
   • Starting position: the drive must have been programmed for the window (see menu 1)
     • Press keys 1 + 2 simultaneously, after a short time LED1 turns green
     • Confirm the programming process by pressing key 4; both LEDs flash. In delivered state, the first free memory space is indicated by the colour combination green / green. If transmitters have already been programmed, the next free memory space is displayed (colour combination green / yellow, then green / red, and so on).
     • Now confirm the remote control / keypad to be programmed (see instructions CFF / CFT). If programming is successful, a sustained tone sounds and the LEDs indicate the next free memory space.
     • To exit the menu item, press key 3.
3. Level 1 - Clearing remote control(s) and keypad
   • Aim: you want to clear a programmed transmitter, e.g. because the remote control has been lost
     • Press keys 1 + 2 simultaneously, after a short time LED1 turns green
     • Press key 2; LED1 turns yellow
     • Confirm your intention to clear the transmitter by pressing key 4
     • The first assigned memory space is displayed (colour combination green / green). If more than one memory space has been assigned and you wish to clear one of them, switch to the required space by pressing key 1 or 2
     • Press and hold key 4 for approx. 2 seconds; both LEDs flash
     • Press and hold key 4 for approx. two seconds again and the memory space will be cleared. An acoustic confirmation sounds and the LEDs go out
     • To exit the menu item, press key 3
4. Level 1 - Resetting to factory settings (factory reset)
   • Aim: you want to clear the drive settings. There are three options to choose from:
     1. Clearing the programming for your window and any other settings on the advanced menu.
     2. Clearing all saved transmitters.
     3. Complete factory reset

• Press keys 1 + 2 simultaneously, after a short time LED1 turns green.
• Press key 2 twice in succession; LED1 turns red.
• Confirm your intention to carry out a factory reset by pressing key 4
• LED1 is red, LED2 is green = option I. This position resets the programming process and all settings on the advanced menu
• Pressing key 1 or 2 switches to option II or option III: LED1 is red, LED2 is yellow = option II. This position clears all transmitters (remote controls, keypad). LED1 is red, LED2 is red = option III. This position triggers a complete factory reset. The drive is then in its delivered condition
• With the LED display required, press and hold key 4 for approx. 2 seconds; both LEDs flash alternately
• Press and hold key 4 again for approx. 2 seconds and the reset is carried out. An acoustic confirmation follows and the LEDs go out.
• To exit the menu item, press key 3

5. Level 2 - Advanced menu settings
   The settings on the advanced menu are optional. You can modify the default values for the drive on three submenus:
   1. Signal tones,
   2. Torque and
   3. Tilt function.

To access level 2, first complete the following two steps:

• Press keys 1 + 2 simultaneously, after a short time LED1 turns green.
• Press keys 1 + 2 simultaneously again, after a short time LED1 flashes green.

1. Signal tones (LED 1 flashes green)
   • Confirm your intention to change the signal tones by pressing key 4
   • Choose the required setting by pressing key 1 or 2:
     LED 1 green / LED 2 green: signal tone in all end positions (factory setting)
     LED 1 flashes green / LED 2 lights yellow: signal tone on motorised locking
     LED 1 flashes green / LED 2 lights red: no signal tones*

* Alarm signals for required battery change, overload of the drive and magnetic displacement (attempt at burglary) and key tones for the drive cannot be switched off!

2. Torque
   • Switch to this menu item by pressing key 2. LED1 flashes yellow
   • Confirm your intention to change the torque by pressing key 4
   • Choose the required setting by pressing key 1 or 2:
     LED 1 flashes yellow / LED 2 lights green: torque restriction set (ca. 6 Nm).
     LED 1 flashes yellow / LED 2 lights red: maximum torque (ca. 8 Nm)
3. Setting the tilt function
   • Switch to this menu item by pressing key 2. LED1 flashes red
   • Confirm your intention to activate the tilt function by pressing key 4
   • Choose the setting required by pressing key 1 or 2:
     LED 1 flashes red / LED 2 lights green: tilt function inactive
     LED 1 flashes red / LED 2 lights red: tilt function active*

* If this setting is chosen, the window moves when pressing the transmitter's „open" button from the tilt position to the "open" position. In doing so, the window must always be brought in manually!

When using the tilting function, always pull the window by hand until the drive has reached its rest position before actuating the drive! In particular with older windows and patio doors, there is a risk that the casement will be lifted out of its anchoring, when it is not brought in manually.

In case you hear a signal tone five times immediately after unlocking and opening the device (both electronically with remote control or keypad, and mechanically with a key), most likely there has been an attempted burglary. Please check your window for possible evidences of a forced entry and, if need be, inform the police. (Note: do not confuse the five sustained tones with the five short tones that indicate a battery change is due that take place before the drive starts to move!)

Program structure and allocation table

• Open menu level 1 by pressing and holding keys 1 and 2 simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds
• Scroll through the menu levels by pressing key 1 or 2
• Select a menu item by pressing key 4, exit the menu item by pressing key 3
• Open advanced menu by pressing keys 1 and 2 simultaneously from menu level 1 (LED1 turns green)

Fitting the magnet

Attention: only possible after programming the drive!

Be careful when using magnets:

• Risk of trapping fingers!
• Keep product away from children due to small parts.
• In particular, seek immediate medical attention if magnet is swallowed.
• Credit or debit cards with magnetic strips may be damaged.
• For persons with pacemakers, defibrillators or other implanted devices – the magnet may adversely affect such devices, so ensure sufficient distance (approx. 20cm) between the magnet and implanted device during installation.

Insert magnets vertically next to one another! (see fig. 8.1a)

*x = Rebate height

Position magnet holder and bases (see fig. 8.1c)
(Attention: do not fasten yet!)

Press in cylinder. After 2 seconds, the arming tone sounds. Mark the position of the holder. (see fig. 8.1d)

If the signal does not sound, the position was not detected. Check the position of the holder and the number of supports, or rotate the magnets by 180°!

Screw base(s) and magnet holder fixing at the marked position with screw S12 / S13. Press down on the magnet holder H.

An ABUS GBM7300 B (brown) / W (white) passive glass break detector can be optionally attached by wire to the screw terminals of the electronic unit. For this, unscrew the wire bridge, remove and replace it with both ends of the GBM cable. Then the FCA3000 / FSA3550 alarm is also triggered by detecting glass breakage. For cable entry, open the housing on the already perforated side.

Attaching the covering plates (see fig. 8.2)

Battery replacement/Maintenance

If the battery charge is too low, five short beeps are sounded before the movement begins or when the cylinder is pushed in. It is still possible to set the alarm for a short time, however. Please replace the flat batteries promptly when the signal tone sounds: slide the top cover upwards. Remove the batteries and insert new alkaline batteries. "Ready-to-use" batteries are also suitable. Follow the battery instructions and always replace all batteries!
Note: do not confuse the five short beeps with the five sustained beeps that are reporting an attempt at burglary, and those that take place after the drive has started to move!
