Installing the PC Board in the Cabinet Alone, or (if used), with a 4204, 4219, or 4229
Installing the Control and RF Receiver Circuit Boards Together in the Cabinet
1. Hang two long Red mounting clips (provided) on the raised cabinet tabs
(see Detail B in Fig. 2).
2. Insert the top of the circuit board into the slots at the top of the cabinet.
Make sure that the board rests on the correct row (see Detail A in Fig. 2).
3. Swing the base of the board into the mounting clips and secure the board
to the cabinet with the accompanying screws (see Detail B in Fig. 2).
Any one of these units can be mounted in the cabinet with the main control
board, if used. See Figure 2.
1. Insert self-tapping screws (provided) in two adjacent raised cabinet tabs.
Leave the heads projecting 1/8".
2. Hang the unit on the screw heads via two of the slotted holes at the rear of
its housing, as shown in Figure 2.
3. The 4204's cover can be left off if the unit's DIP switch is set with its
position 1 "ON" (to the right) as shown in its instructions. The 4219's or
4229's cover can be left off if the cover tamper jumper is placed in its up-
per (not tampered) position (see Detail C).
The tampered cover is necessary for installations outside of the control's
cabinet.
Figure 2.
1. Hang two short (black) mounting clips (provided with receiver) on the
raised cabinet tabs, as shown in Detail B in Figure 3.
2. Insert the top of the receiver board (removed from its own case as de-
scribed in its instructions) into the slots at the top of the cabinet, as shown
in Detail A in Figure 3. Make sure that the board rests on the correct row of
tabs, as shown.
3. Swing the base of the board into the mounting clips and secure it to the
cabinet with the accompanying screws (see Detail B in Fig. 3).

Questions and answers
Why there is no siren output all of sudden
The First Alert FA142C may have no siren output due to the following possible causes:
1. Power Issues – The alarm sounder requires a 12V, 2.0 Amp output. If the power supply is interrupted or the backup battery is depleted, the siren may not function.
2. Blown Fuse – The system has a 3A battery fuse (No. 90–12). If this fuse is blown, it could prevent the siren from operating.
3. Wiring Issues – Incorrect or loose wiring connections to the siren or control panel may cause a lack of output.
4. System Programming – If alarm outputs are not correctly programmed or disabled in the system settings, the siren may not activate.
5. Overloaded Power Output – The auxiliary power output and alarm sounder should not exceed 600mA total for UL installations. If overloaded, the system may shut down the siren output.
Checking these factors can help identify and resolve the issue.
