After you have completed installation of all devices, all wired expansion zones
should be checked as follows:
1. Make certain that all devices and sensors connected to the wired expansion
zones are not in a faulted state. Doors and windows with contacts should be
closed, PIRs should be covered (use a cloth to mask them temporarily if
necessary).
2. With all zones intact (including hard-wired zones), the Alpha keypad
connected to the system should display:
If the following is displayed,

press the [ ] key to display the faulted zone(s). Restore any faulted zone(s)
as necessary.
Make sure that you have connected a 1000 ohm EOL resistor across
the terminals of unused expansion zones on the 4219 or 4229 module).
When the READY TO ARM message is displayed, you can proceed to the
next step.

At the "INPUT DEVICE" prompt, enter "2" (AUX
Wired) as the input device. The display on the
left will appear.
Press [ ] to continue.
A summary display will appear, showing the
data for the zone that was just programmed.
Note that AW indicates an auxiliary wired (zone
expansion module) zone.
If it is programmed satisfactorily, press [ ] to
display the next prompt.
For all zone types, the next request is to enter
Alpha descriptors for the zones. The entry may
be done now (enter 1) or may be done at a later
time using 82 interactive menu mode (enter 0).
We recommend that the entry of Alpha
descriptors be done later using
mode.
See ALPHA DESCRIPTION PROGRAMMING
section for specific procedure.
If "0" (No) was entered above, the system will
display a prompt for entry of the next wired
expansion zone number. Proceed with the
programming for the next zone, as indicated
previously.
When all wired expansion zones are
programmed satisfactorily, exit 56 mode at the
Enter Zn Num. prompt by pressing: [0] [0] .
Exit the programming mode by keying 99.
Proceed to the check-out procedure that follows.

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.
