How to determine which wireless interface to use with the EN1224-ON keyfob. How to determine which control panels the EN1224-ON keyfob can be used with. Is the EN1224-ON compatible with D7212 panel types (G, GV2, GV3 or GV4)?

FA210 REDUCED-SIZE UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER Available in off-white (FA210). For use with any standard contact or sensor, this reduced-size universal transmitter comes with case tamper and supports an end-of-line resistor. Mounting bracket included for quick and easy installation. FA210W REDUCED-SIZE “WIDE GAP” DOOR/WINDOW TRANSMITTER Available in off-white (FA210W). Same as the FA210 but includes two built-in magnetic reed switches, one on top, and one on the side for maximum flexibility. Includes magnet that supports a 5/8” gap. Can support a N/O or N/C external contact when using the reed switch. USed with the FA400 Receiver

Issue The FA113 will not arm the panel if it was disarmed from the keypad and will not disarm if panel was armed from the keypad Solution Used as an arm/disarm device, the FA113 is configured to panel zone 74 or 194. Pressing the FA113 Off button sends an OPEN signal to the control panel and pressing the On button sends a NORMAL signal to the control panel. The area should be both Armed and Disarmed by the FA113 for it to function correctly. When the arming state is changed by the FA113, then by another means, the FA113 becomes unable to detect the current armed state of the area and will not respond to the keys pressed. Correct settings for FA113: The transition of the state of point 74 is what causes the area to arm or disarm. • Mode in the D8125INV is set to 4. • Keyswitch Maintained point (Point Type 4) with  Point Response 2, is  required for  the FA113. • Area will arm with a transition from open to normal on point 74. • Area will disarm with a transition from normal to open on point 74. The FA113 is also used for panic on point 75 (7412G) and point 195 (9412G).

How to build a D8125INV programming cable using 2 standard keypad harnesses.

Overview: The FA422 Programming Cable has a 2 pin female connector at the transmitter end. Inovonics transmitters have 3 pins on them. The center pin on the transmitter is for Data and the 2 outer pins are ground. The 2 pin connector connects to the center pin and either of the outer pins on the transmitters when programming. Issue The programming cable for the FA422 receiver only has 2 pins at the transmitter end. How does the 2 pin connector connect to the 3 pin transmitter? Solution Connect the 2 pin connector to the center pin and either outer pin. Either way will work.

How to use the ISW-D8125CW-V2 and D8125INV on the same panel. Can the D8125INV be connected to a panel that already has an ISW-D8125CW-V2 connected?

Overview When wireless points are faulted, they display as 'Short' to the panel. When the wireless point tamper switch is faulted it will display as an 'Open' to the panel. Issue The panel when using a D8125INV and wireless points shows normal/faulted when point transitions from normal to off normal but the control always shows shorted. Solution Problem may be caused by another point expander connected to the control panel. Remove D8125INV from control panel and determine if points go missing. If points remain active (normal, faulted, etc) the control panel is interfacing with the points through another addressable point expander.

How to interpret wireless devices showing Missing in View Point Status.

Overview: The Inovonics FA570 and FA575 High-Power Repeaters receive, decode and re-transmit signals from Inovonics FA-Series transmitters up to 4 miles in open field. Issue What is the difference between the FA570 and FA575? Solution The difference is the FA575 includes the ACC640 weatherproof enclosure to accommodate exterior applications as well as battery leads to hookup an external battery. Other then that, the units are exactly the same.

There are 2 tests performed on the FA206i, Walk Test and Transmission Test. Walk Test: With cover in place, quickly (less than 1/2 second) pass a magnet near the Test Mode reed switch. This will activate a 1 minute walk test mode where the LED will light with each trip but no alarm signals will be transmitted. Transmission Test: With cover in place, hold a magnet near the Test Mode reed switch for at least one second. This will activate a one minute transmission test mode where the device will transmit alarm and restoral cycles at regular intervals for 1 minute. Note:  The FA206i LED only lights when in test mode.
