Supports a maximum of 16 transmitters programmed into any 5800 Series-supported control panel.
Annunciates low-battery indications for the local wireless keys.
Supports wireless keys with Signal Sentry (high-security) (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.
Provides wireless key support for control panels that do not support RF themselves (FA110C).
Programming Features
Provides an Auto Enroll mode for programming of the wireless keys.
Provides a method for deleting a serial number and re-enrolling a new one in its place.
Provides default settings for the functions of the wireless keys.
Additional Features
Provides tamper protection that causes the system to annunciate a trouble condition if the cover is removed
or the unit is removed from the wall. (If supported by the control panel).
Can send status signals (Armed, Ready, etc.) to bi-directional units such as 5804BD, 5804BDV and 5827BD.
Can operate the on-board relay in conjunction with the receiver (e.g., to trip a garage door opener).
Can activate relays programmed into the control panel.
Provides an End User mode to enable/disable local wireless keys (e.g., if a user accidentally loses a wireless
key). See the User Guide for the procedure.
Application Guidelines for the FA260RF
Use the following guidelines when planning an installation:
Local wireless keys are programmed directly into the FA260RF and may be used regardless of whether the
RF receiver is enabled or disabled.
If using bi-directional devices, be sure to enable the transmitter module in the FA260RF.
If transmitters are programmed into the control panel, be sure to enable the receiver. (Make sure you do not
exceed the number of receivers the control panel supports.)
If a local wireless key is programmed to arm/disarm or to trigger a relay on the control panel, a user code
must be entered into the FA260RF. This user code must also be programmed into the control panel.
You must set the House ID only if you are using RF keypads and/or bi-directional devices; AND the House
ID Source is the FA260RF (Local).
