General description
The FA-700 monitors your home for a variety of alarm conditions. When an alarm event
occurs, the FA-700 calls the programmed phone number for the following alarms:
• Temperature drops below 45ºF (7ºC) or rises above 85ºF (34ºC) (DIP switch selectable)
• FA-700 low battery condition (backup AA batteries)
When a problem occurs at the monitored location, the FA-700 will start calling the
programmed phone number over a standard phone line and describe (in English) the current
alarm(s). The FA-700 will continue calling until the alarm call-out is canceled.
LEDs
The FA-700 has three LEDs: Power, Program, and Alarm located on its front panel. These
LEDs present operating status of the FA-700. Table 2 explains the operational states of the
three LEDs.
