•
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 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).
