This secondary manual is chiefly concerned with transmitter program-ming and servicing the detector in response to trouble indications at the control panel.Typical average standby current......................................................38.5µATypical peak alarm current..............................................................91.1mA The FA202 Wireless Smoke Detector, built upon photoelectric Sentrol/ESL technology, continually monitors its own sensitivity and operational status. If it detects a Low Battery condition or is in need of cleaning, it transmits a Low Battery signal that should be interpreted as a “Maintenance Needed” trouble condition at the control panel. If the unit is in need of cleaning, it can be serviced on-site by replacing its Smoke Chamber. Two 3 volt lithium bat-teries, supplied with the product, provide at least one year of operation. THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION’S STANDARD 72. (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269) 1. Locate the transmitter programming pins by disassembling the detector as follows (refer to Figures 4 through 7 in the ESL 560 instructions):a. Remove the red dust cover containing the batteries from the smoke detector.b. With the smoke detector facing you, remove the detector from its Mounting Base by twisting the detector about 15 degrees counter-clockwise with respect to the Mounting Base.c. Remove the Detector Cap by first sliding a flatblade screwdriver part way into the slot on the side of the Detector Cap. Now, gently push the handle down while twisting the Detector Cap counter-clockwise with respect to the Detector Lid.d. Remove the Detector Lid from the Body by pushing down on the Smoke Chamber while pulling up on the bottom of the Lid (see Fig-ure A). e. Remove the Battery Cover that encloses the Battery Compartment by pushing on the area marked OPEN.f. Take the batteries out of the red dust cover holder and load them into the Battery Compartment. Make sure to observe battery polar-ity and that the battery removal ribbon rests under the batteries.g. Refer to Figure B to locate the programming pins on the transmitter board.2. Using an appropriate Inovonics programming device, set the program-ming options as follows:• External Switch Type: Normally Closed• EOL Resistor: No• Use Internal Contact: No• Check-in Time: 60 secondsNote: These also are the factory default programming options. Some pro-gramming devices like the FA422 Receiver can place an Identification Num-ber into a transmitter without changing the default settings. 3. When prompted by the programming device to plug in the transmitter, connect the programming cable to the 3-pin header. (Orientation of the cable with respect to the 3-pin header is not important; both outside pins on the 3-pin header are at ground potential.) 4. Press the Reset button on the transmitter.When programming is complete, disconnect the cable, test the detector per the Wireless Sensitivity Test Procedure (on the back of this sheet), and reas-semble the smoke detector.

(Please include the RMA number on the package to expedite handling.)Inovonics CorporationInovonics CorporationInovonics CorporationInovonics CorporationRMA # ________RMA # ________RMA # ________RMA # ________2100 Central Ave2100 Central Ave2100 Central Ave2100 Central AveBoulder CO 80301Boulder CO 80301Boulder CO 80301Boulder CO 80301The FA202 should be tested upon initial programming and each time the Smoke Chamber is changed or the batteries are replaced. To make wireless sig-nals from the detector cause an alarm or trouble indication at the control panel, receiver and panel programming must be completed prior to this test. If this has not been done, do so now.To test the detector, follow the procedure described under the Testing the Detector Sensitivity section in the ESL 560 instructions. When the test button is pressed, the LED will flash the number of times that corresponds to its sensitivity. During this test, the control panel should receive an alarm, followed a few seconds later by a restoral.If the panel fails to respond properly, it is possible that the transmitter failed to reset properly when the batteries were installed. To force a trans-mitter reset, remove the batteries from the FA202 for a least 30 seconds, reinstall them, and then retest as described above.As the factory default condition, the FA202 combines the CleanMe signal described in the ESL 560 instructions with its Low Battery signal. If the con-trol panel indicates a Low Battery trouble condition, this should be interpreted as a Maintenance Needed trouble indication. (The battery may be fine, but the detector needs cleaning.) If this multiple-condition panel indication is not desired, wireless reporting of the CleanMe status can be disabled by mov-ing the jumper on the CleanMe 3-pin header to the inactive position (see Figure B). When this is done, only a Low Battery signal will be sent from the detector, and only a Low Battery trouble condition reported at the panel.In the event that a Low Battery trouble indication appears on the control panel, service the FA202 as described in the following procedure:1. Remove the FA202 from its Mounting Base and disassemble the unit as described in the above Programming Procedure. (The Detector Lid needs to be removed from the Detector Body.)2. Perform a wireless sensitivity test on the unit as described in the previous Wireless Sensitivity Test Procedure. Depending on the results of this test do the following:a. If the results of this test show that the detector does not need cleaning, press the Reset button on the transmitter to update the panel with the detector’s latest operational status. If the panel trouble indication returns, the batteries need changing. Change the batteries as described in the Replacing the Batteries section of the ESL 560 instructions and repeat this step. As indicated in the WARNING label on the Battery Compartment, wait at least 30 seconds after removing batteries before inserting new batteries. This is necessary to force an immediate test of the new batteries.If the panel trouble indication now remains off, servicing has been completed.b. If the results of this test shows that the unit does need cleaning, replace the Smoke Chamber and retest the unit per the Cleaning the Detector sec-tion of the ESL 560 instructions. Now, press the Reset button on the transmitter to update the panel with the detector’s latest operational status. If the panel trouble indication remains off, the unit is performing normally, the batteries do not need changing, and servicing has been completed.If, however, the panel trouble indication returns, the detector probably has a secondary Low Battery condition that requires that the batteries be replaced. Change the batteries as described in the Replacing the Batteries section of the ESL 560 instructions, wait about nine seconds until the detector LED begins to flash, and press the transmitter Reset button. As indicated in the WARNING label on the Battery Compartment, wait at least 30 seconds after removing batteries before inserting new batteries. This is necessary to force an immediate test of the new batteries. If the panel trouble indication now remains off, servicing has been completed.Note: As discussed before, if the wireless CleanMe signal reporting were disabled, some of this complication could be avoided. A Low Battery indica-tion at the panel would always mean that the batteries needed changing; there would be no CleanMe signal piggybacked onto the Low Battery indication. However, it is recommended that the wireless CleanMe signal reporting remain enabled (factory default condition) in order to let the panel know that the detector is operating within normal limits, and to avoid potential false alarms due to detector over-sensitivity.
