GENERAL INFORMATION
The FA570CR is an addressable, remote keypad that is

Professional control panels, as listed above. The FA570CR’s
address is set locally, via the keypad’s keys, depending on the
control being used (see note 3, above). The keys are
continuously backlit for convenience. The LCD display is
backlit only when a key is depressed, or when the system is in
alarm or trouble condition.
Note: On some controls, the LCD may be programmed to
remain on at all times (see control’s instructions for details).

(Not all controls support these special functions. Refer to the
individual control panel’s instructions for details.)
These keys must be held down for at least 2 seconds to
initiate the assigned function.
WIRING AND INSTALLATION
The keypad may be surface-mounted directly to a dry wall or
to a single- or double-gang electrical box.
1. To remove the case back, insert a small screwdriver
blade at a downward angle into Slot 1 and twist, (the
right side pops up). Insert the screwdriver blade at a
downward angle into Slot 2 and twist, (the left side pops
up). Insert the screwdriver blade into right side narrow
Slot 3 and twist. Separate the case back from upper case.
Refer to Figure 1 for location of the case back Slots.
2. Route wiring going to the keypad through the large
rectangular opening in the case back.
3. Mount the case back to the wall or electrical box.
4. Wire directly from the keypad’s terminal block (see Figure
2) to the terminal block on the control panel (see control’s
Summary of Connections label for correct terminal
connections).
NOTE: No more than one wire per terminal may be connected. If daisy-
chained configuration is required, pig-tail wires together so that only one
wire is terminated under the screw. Use 16-24 AWG wire only!

SETTING THE KEYPAD ADDRESS
The keypad address must be set according to the control
panel being used (refer to the individual control panel’s

Power up the keypad. Within 60 seconds of power-up,
press and hold down the [1] and [3] keys together for 3-
seconds. The current address will be displayed and the

Notes:
•If the system has been powered up for more than 60
seconds, you must power the keypad down, and then
power it up again in order to change the keypad’s
address.
•The keypad will not enter the address mode if the
system is in the program mode.
•If 10 seconds have passed with no key entry, the keypad
automatically exits the address mode.
FOR WARRANTY INFORMATION AND LIMITATIONS OF THE ENTIRE
SYSTEM, REFER TO THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
CONTROL PANEL WITH WHICH THIS DEVICE IS USED.

3. Exit the address mode:
Press the “star” key (✻)to save the displayed address
and exit the address mode. The current address may be
viewed at any time by pressing and holding [1] and [3]

with some typical function symbols (e.g., fire, police,
emergency, etc.) is provided. These labels come in four
