FA570RF

Keypad/Transceiver

Installation and Setup Guide

GENERAL INFORMATION

The FA570RF keypad/transceiver is a combination unit that

combines the functions of the following devices:

•FA570KP Alphanumeric Addressable Keypad

•5881H RF Receiver

•5800TM Transmitter Module

The FA570RF Keypad/Transceiver may be used on any

control panel that supports alphanumeric keypads and 5800

Series wireless devices.

FUNCTION KEYS (refer to Figure 1)

The A, B, and C keys are designed for use as “panic” keys

(e.g., fire, police, personal emergency, etc.) or other special

functions on certain control panels. The D key may be used

as a “macro” key or other special functions with control

panels that support this feature. This allows a single key to

execute a preprogrammed series of system functions (e.g.,

bypassing zones, arming, etc.)

The A, B, C, and D keys must be pressed and

held down for at least two seconds to activate

their programmed panic functions.

FEATURES

•Supports wireless key transmitters (e.g., (5804) and bi-directional transmitters (e.g., 5804BDV, 5828/5828V).

•Supports wireless keys with high-security (encryption) capability (e.g., 5804E).

•Provides a nominal range of 200' for the RF transmitters (some transmitters have a shorter range).

•Supports RF jam detection when the receiver is enabled.

•Capable of sending status signals (Armed, Ready, etc.) to bi-directional units such as 5804BDV, and 5828/5828V.

•The FA570RF automatically times out the backlighting of all keypad keys.

ULThe following 5800 series transmitters are not intended for use in UL installations: 5802, 5804, 5804BD, 5804BDV,

5804E, 5814, 5816TEMP, 5819, 5819BRS, 5819WHS, 5828/5828V and 5850.

INSTALLING THE FA570RF

Locate the FA570RF in an area and at a height where it is

convenient for user operation. The FA570RF must be at least

ten feet from the control panel to ensure proper operation of

the RF receiver.

Mounting And Wiring

The FA570RF has terminal blocks for connection to power

and data wires. Removing the keypad’s case back provides

access to the terminal blocks.

The FA570RF can be surface mounted directly to a drywall,

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.

2. Route wiring from the control panel through the

large opening in the case back.

a. If surface wiring is being used, wiring may be routed

through the top or the bottom left-side breakout in

the case back. The breakouts must be punched out

using a screwdriver before mounting the case back.

b. If desired, wires may be strain-relieved to the wire tie

point on the inside of the case back with a tie wrap

(not supplied).

3. Mount the case back to a wall or electrical box.

4. Use the wiring table on the next page when

connecting the keypad. Wire directly from the

keypad’s terminal block to the terminal block on the

control’s PC board. Wire functions are marked next to

terminals. See the control panel’s Installation

Instructions for more complete details.

APPLICATION GUIDELINES FOR THE FA570RF

Use the following guidelines when planning an installation:

If… And… Then…

This is the only

transceiver on

the system,

You want to use both

the receiver and

transmitter function

on a single-partition

system,

•Set the keypad to a device address assigned to the desired partition.*

•Enable the receiver.

•Program a system House ID in the control panel (this will enable the transmitter

function).**

•Set the wireless devices that will communicate with this FA570RF to the same

system House ID.

You want to use only

the transmitter

function on a second

partition,

•Set the keypad to a device address assigned to the desired partition.*

•Disable the receiver.

•Program a DIFFERENT House ID in the FA570RF than is programmed in the

control panel.*/ **

•Set the wireless devices that will communicate with this FA570RF to the same

House ID as the FA570RF.

There is another

receiver or

transceiver on

the system,

You want to use only

the transmitter

function on a single-

partition system,

•Set the keypad to a device address assigned to the Partition 1.

•Disable the receiver.

•Program a House ID in the FA570RF that matches the system House ID

programmed in the control panel.*

•Set the wireless devices that will communicate with this FA570RF to the same

House ID.

Notes:

* On FA1220CV panels and above, wireless keypads (e.g., 5828V) can only be used on a single partition. This partition is

programmed in field 1*48, and must match the partition assigned to the FA570RF. Wireless keys can be used on more than one

partition, using a House ID programmed in the FA570RF and the devices. In this case, the wireless keys must be assigned to the

same partition as the FA570RF.

** On FA168CPS panels, the FA570RF will use the House ID programmed in the panel for the partition to which it is assigned.

Wireless keypads can only be used on Partition 1.

PROGRAMMING THE FA570RF

Refer to the following procedure to program the FA570RF:

STEP DESCRIPTION DISPLAY CHOICES

When operating the system in High-Security mode, the 5804BD wireless keys will still function. If you want the

system to recognize only encrypted wireless devices, program only encrypted devices in the system.

ACTIVATING HIGH SECURITY DEVICES

This following procedure should be followed if using High-Security (encrypted) devices.

STEP DESCRIPTION

1. Follow the normal procedure for programming the device into the control panel (refer to the Installation Instructions for

the device that you are programming). Exit out of Programming Mode.

2. Put the control panel in Go/ No Go Test mode. (See the Installation Guide for the panel being installed.)

3. Follow the instructions supplied with each wireless device to enroll the device in High-security mode. The FA570RF

will momentarily display the serial number of the device.

DISABLING HIGH SECURITY DEVICES

This mode gives you the ability to disable high security on all wireless keys that have been enrolled in the FA570RF. This is

particularly useful if a user loses a wireless key.

Once high-security (encrypted) devices have been disabled, they will only operate if the FA570RF is set to

listen to both encrypted and non-encrypted devices (programming step 6, above). To completely disable the

devices, they must be deleted from the control panel.

STEP DESCRIPTION DISPLAY CHOICES

1. After the keypad has been powered for at least 60 seconds hold down

the [1] and [3] keys at the same time for 3 seconds. The current

keypad address will be displayed. (You cannot change the keypad’s

address at this point.) Press the [✱] key to continue.
