* Two FA260RFs are needed for this application. One connected to partition 1’s keypad terminals and one connected to partition 2’s.
** If using an RF keypad on only one partition, the FA260RF’s partition assignment must match the partition set in field 1*48.
***If set for Local on a partition control, the FA260RF’s partition assignment must match the partition programmed in the BD device.
Installing the FA260RF
Locate the FA260RF in an area and at a height where it is convenient for users to operate the system. The
FA260RF must be at least 10' from the control panel to ensure proper operation of the RF receiver.

Figure 1: FA260RF Wiring Connections
To install the FA260RF, refer to Figure 1 for wiring
connections and perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Remove the case back by pushing down
the two snaps along the FA260RF’s
bottom edge and pulling the case apart.
2 Route the wiring from the control panel
through the opening in the case back.
(See the control panel’s instructions for
proper wire run lengths.)
3 Mount the case back directly to a wall or
electrical gang box.
4
Connect the power and data wires from
the control panel to the terminals on the
FA260RF.
5
Connect the wires for the relay output (if
being used) to the terminals on the
FA260RF’s PC board.
6 Reattach the keypad to its case back.
7 Remove the clear protective films from
the LCD display and install the keypad
labels, as required.
NOTE:
Upon power up or exit of the Program mode,
the FA260RF alternately flashes "Ad" and
the 2-digit keypad address and the 2-digit
receiver address on the display. Press any
key to display the system status.
