RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTION
The Following Recommendations for the Location of Fire and Burglary Detection
Devices Help Provide Proper Coverage for the Protected Premises.
Recommendations For Smoke And Heat Detectors
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations
contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms
and areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detector should be installed
outside of each separate sleeping area, and on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit,
including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in
garages is not normally recommended.
For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living
room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms,
basements and attached garages.
In addition, we recommend the following:
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly or
completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside
may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.

• Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms
where electrical appliances (such as
portable heaters, air conditioners or
humidifiers) are used.
• Install a smoke detector at both ends of a
hallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet
(12 meters) long.
• Install smoke detectors in any room where
an alarm control is located, or in any room
where alarm control connections to an AC
source or phone lines are made. If
detectors are not so located, a fire within
the room could prevent the control from
reporting a fire or an intrusion.
THIS CONTROL COMPLIES WITH NFPA
REQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPORAL PULSE
SOUNDING OF FIRE NOTIFICATION
APPLIANCES.
Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or
commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in
a multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still
be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm
signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).

AUI NOTES:
•
••
•Use of AUI is independent from standard keypads and
does not affect the number of standard keypads the
system can support.
•
••
•AUI keypads must be set for either address 1 or address
2, depending on which unit is enabled in field *189.
•
••
•To ensure proper AUI device operation, connect only to
controls having microprocessor version 3.0 or higher, and
use AUI devices with the following rev levels: FA700KP
series use version 1.0.9 or higher; FA800KP (Symphony)
series use version 1.1.175 or higher.
ULUse a UL Listed, battery-backed supply for UL
installations. The battery supplies power to these
keypads in case of AC power loss.
The battery-backed power supply should have
enough power to supply the keypads with the UL
required minimum standby power time.
Keypads powered from supplies that do
not have a backup battery will not function if AC
power is lost. Make sure to power at least one keypad
in each partition from the control’s auxiliary power
output.

Maximum wire lengths for any device that is homerun to the control can also be determined from the Wiring Run Chart, based on
the current draw of that device alone.
The length of all wire runs for both partitions combined must not exceed 1500 feet (457m) when unshielded quad conductor cable is
used (750 feet if shielded cable is used). This restriction is due to the capacitive effect on the data lines when quad cable is used.

Notes
This control complies with NFPA requirements for
temporal pulse sounding of fire notification appliances.
Temporal pulse sounding for a fire alarm consists of:
3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses–etc..
•The 12VDC sounder output activates when an
alarm occurs.
•Total current drawn from this output cannot
exceed 2 amps (going beyond 2 amps will
overload the power supply, or may cause the
electronic circuit protecting the sounder output to
trip).
•You must install a battery, since the battery
supplies this current.
UL
•Use only UL Listed sounding devices for UL
installations.
•Bell supervision is required for fire alarm installations.
•The total current drawn from the alarm output and the
auxiliary power output, combined, cannot exceed 600
mA. In addition, the sounding device must be a UL
Listed audible signal appliance rated to operate in a
10.2-13.8 VDC voltage range, and must be mounted
indoors.

Connect the 1321 Transformer to terminals 1 and 2 on
the control board. See Wire Run Chart at right for wire
size to use. (Use 1321CN in Canada)
1361X10 Transformer
(required if using Powerline Carrier devices)
1. Splice one end of a 3-conductor cable to the wire ends
of the SA4120XM-1 Cable.
2. Connect the SA4120XM-1 cable plug to the 8-pin
connector on the control (see the Summary of
Connections diagram for location of the 8-pin
connector).
3. Connect the other end of the 3-conductor cable to the
1361X10 Transformer, as shown.
Canada: See Powerline Carrier Device section for
connections to the PSC04 X-10 Interface and trigger pins.
Notes
•Use caution when wiring the transformer to the
control to guard against blowing the transformer
fuse (the fuse is non-replaceable).
•Wiring to the AC transformer must not exceed
250 feet using 16 gauge wire. The voltage
reading between terminals 1 and 2 of the
control must not fall below 16.5VAC or an “AC
LOSS” message will be displayed.
•Do not plug the transformer into the AC outlet
while making any wiring connections to the
control. As a safety precaution, always power
down the control when making such connections.
