First Alert FA162C Installation Instructions

Programming Wired Expansion Zones
Each zone must be programmed into the system using the *56 Zone
Programming mode, which assigns characteristics that define the way the
system responds to faults on that zone. Refer to the Zone Response Type
section and the Zone Programming section for specific instructions on
programming wired expansion zones.
Check-Out Procedure For Wired Expansion Zones
After you have completed installation and programming of all devices, all
expansion zones in each partition of the security system 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. Plug in the AC transformer. With all zones intact (including hard-wired
zones), the Alpha keypad connected to the system should display :
DISARMED
READY TO ARM.
If the following is displayed,
DISARMED Press ✱
to show faults
press the [
✱
] key to display the faulted zone(s). Restore any faulted
zone(s) as necessary (also 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.
3. Fault and restore every contact or sensor in each expansion zone
individually to ensure that it is being monitored by the system. Each time
a zone is faulted, the keypad should display the number of the faulted
zone. When each zone is restored, the READY TO ARM message should
appear again.
If some wired expansion zones have been assigned to partition 1 and
others to partition 2, you will need to observe the keypad in the
appropriate partition as each zone in that partition is faulted and restored.
4. When you get the proper displays on the keypad(s), the wired expansion
zones in the system are functioning properly.
5. Unplug the AC transformer.
If a "CHECK 09" message appears on the display, data from the control is
not reaching the zone expander module (or the tamper switch is activated).
Check the wiring and DIP switch settings.
