KEYPAD OPTIONS *190-*199 To enable keypads: 1. Set desired address at keypad (refer to keypad’s instructions for setting the address). 2. Use data fields *190-*196 to enable keypad addresses, assign a partition, enable sound options in field. 3. Use fields *197, *198, and *199 to turn on partition number display, exit time interval display, and select fail display mode. 4.
CONFIGURABLE ZONE TYPES WORKSHEETS Configurable zone types 90 and 91 can be programmed via downloader software or from a keypad using data fields*182-*185. Configurable zone types 92 and 93 (FA168CPS only) can only be programmed using the downloader software. Programming Configurable Zone Type options involves making 10 entries in data field *182 for zone type 90 and field *184 for zone type 91, where each entry represents the sum of the values of the various options shown in the tables below.
∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ 56 ZONE PROGRAMMING MENU MODE (press *56 while in Program mode) The Zone Programming Worksheet is on page 36. Zones and Partitions Each protection zone needs to be programmed with various attributes using *56 Zone Programming mode or ✱ 58 Expert Programming Mode.

∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ 57 FUNCTION KEY PROGRAMMING MENU MODE (press ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ 57 while in Data Programming mode). The system provides the ability to program each of the four keypad function keys to perform one of 12 system operations. The end user can then activate the function by simply pressing and holding the programmed key for 2 seconds.
OUTPUT DEVICE PROGRAMMING GENERAL INFORMATION (*79/*80 Menu Mode) Output Devices: The FA168CPS system supports up to 16 relays and/or Powerline Carrier devices (X-10 devices) plus 2 built-in trigger outputs in any combination. These 18 “outputs” are assigned to system-wide output numbers (01-18). Use *79 Menu Mode to assign output numbers and map them to device addresses.
Select whether this is a relay or a Powerline Carrier (X-10) Output Type XX OUTPUT TYPE device. 0 = delete DELETE If Powerline Carrier is selected, go to “A” prompt. 1 = relay on 4204/4229 If relay is selected, skip to “B” prompt. module 2 = Powerline Carrier device (X-10)

SETTING SCHEDULES (Installer Code + [#] + [6] [4]) The system provides schedules, which can be used to automatically control 11 types of system events at pre-defined times. Some events are reserved for the installer only. FA168CPS: Provides up to 32 schedules: 16 schedules for use by the end-user, 16 for use by the installer. FA148CP: Provides up to 8 schedules: 4 schedules for use by the end user, 4 for use by the installer.
Enter the desired repeat option for this schedule. Repeat Option R E P E A T O P T I O N e.g., To make a schedule that happens everyday you would 0 = do not repeat 0 - 4 select all days with a repeat count of 1.
∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ 29 COMMUNICATION DEVICE MENU MODE (Pass-Through Programming) This mode is for programming an IP, GSM, or IP/GSM Communicator Module using an alpha keypad. Alternatively, these options can be programmed via the AlarmNet Direct website. After programming is complete, the module must be registered with AlarmNet before reporting via the communication device can occur.
ZONE TYPE DEFINITIONS Zone types define the way in which the system responds to faults in each zone. Type 00 Zone Not Used Type 12 Monitor Zone • Works as a dynamic monitor of a zone fault/trouble (not alarm). In Program a zone with this zone type if the zone is not used.
UL NOTICES 1. Entry Delay No. 1 and No. 2 (fields ∗ 35, ∗ 36) cannot be greater than 30 seconds for UL Residential Burglar Alarm installations, and entry delay plus dial delay should not exceed 1 minute. For UL Commercial Burglar Alarm installations, total entry delay may not exceed 45 seconds.

WORKSHEET FOR SCHEDULES (installer code + [#] + [6] [4]; master code can only access schedules 01-16 for FA168CPS, 01-04 for FA148CP, and events 00-07 for both controls; FA148CP supports up to 8 schedules, FA168CPS supports up to 32 schedules ) Event Device No.
5800 SERIES TRANSMITTER INPUT LOOP IDENTIFICATION All of the transmitters illustrated have one or more unique factory assigned input (loop) ID numbers. Each of the inputs requires its own programming zone (e.g., a 5804's four inputs require four programming zones). For information on any transmitter not shown, refer to the instructions accompanying that transmitter for details regarding loop numbers, etc.
