USER GUIDE
Keypad Features
DISPLAY
The FA270RF keypad features a 3-digit numeric display for zone identification and pre-designated
English-language prompts (for example, ALARM, AWAY, STAY, CHECK, etc.) for indicating
system status. The numeric display backlights when any key, including any function key located
behind the flip-open panel, is pressed. The backlighting is automatically timed out after ten seconds
without a key press. See Figure 1.
FUNCTION KEYS
The function keys including the Special Function Keys A, B, C, and D (or their local identifications),
are always backlit for ease of use. (Check the User’s Guide that accompanies the control panel for
detailed instructions on the use of these keys.)
The function keys include keys for panic alarm activation. The panic alarms are activated by
pressing key pairs [1] & [✱], [3] & [#], or [✱] & [#]. How these panic keys function and the type of
panic alarms they produce, is determined by the control panel’s capability and programming. (Check
with your installer for the availability and type of alarm of these panic keys.)
SOUNDER
The sounder is a piezo-electric device that pulses for fire alarms and sounds continuously for
burglary and audible panic alarms.
KEYPAD LEDS
The keypad contains two LEDs that indicate the status of the system as follows:
LED Function
Green Lights when the system is ready to arm (no zone faults are present).
Red Lights when the system is armed.
SPECIAL FUNCTION KEYS
These are four keys located to the left of the numeric keys (see Figure 1). The keys may be
programmed by your installer for panic alarms or other special functions such as macros (a
frequently used series of key entries). Function keys must be held down for at least 2 seconds
to activate an alarm. (Check with your installer for the programmed function of these keys.)

User Mode
This mode gives you the capability of enabling and disabling individual wireless keys that have been
directly programmed into the FA270RF. This is particularly useful if a user loses a wireless key.
This mode may only be accessed if the FA270RF is powered up for at least 1 minute. Only
wireless keys programmed directly into the FA270RF may be enabled and disabled using this
mode.
ENTER THE USER MODE
Press the [1] and [3] keys simultaneously for a few seconds after the unit has been powered
for at least 1 minute.
CHANGING THE STATUS OF A TRANSMITTER
On the display, “dE” and “-” flashes alternately. Enter the number of the wireless key
transmitter (1-8).
Then “d” and the wireless key number you entered flash alternately with “1” or “0” on the
display. A “1” indicates the wireless key is enabled, a “0” indicates it is disabled. Enter [1] to
enable or [0] to disable the wireless key. All wireless keys are defaulted to 1 (enabled).
Press the [✱]to accept the entry.
Repeat the procedure for all the wireless keys whose status you want to change.
EXITING THE USER MODE
To exit the User mode press [✱]when “dE” and “–” flash alternately on the display.
