FA4285 WIRING NOTES:
1. Wire the FA4285 Phone Module exactly as shown, using a direct-connect cord and RJ31X jack.
2. If Touch-tones are not heard when pressing keys following phone access to the security system
via an
on-premises phone
, try reversing the pair of wires connected to terminals 3 & 4 on the FA4285, and
the pair of wires connected to terminals 17 & 18 on the control.
3. If an error signal (fast busy signal) is heard when trying to access the system via the phone, check for
correct line seizure wiring, as described in note 4.
4. Connection to the incoming Telco line via a RJ31X jack (CA38A in Canada) and direct-connect cord,
as shown in this diagram, is essential, even if the system is not connected to a central station. The
FA4285 will not function if this is not done.
The house phone lines (gray and brown wires) must be wired to the Phone Module terminals,
not to the control terminals. Otherwise, an error signal (fast busy signal) will occur when trying
to access the system from an on-premises phone.
5. If the telephone system on the premises includes a stand-alone Caller ID unit, connect the ID unit
directly to the “Handset” terminals (17 & 18) on the control, as shown.
