MAIN PCB CONNECTIONS
4-5 Tamper -ve return. This terminal must be connected to -ve Aux.
12. Part Set hard wired arming input. Apply +12v to arm. Remove to unset.
13. Full Set hard wired arming input. Apply +12v to arm. Remove to unset.
Currently Part or Full Set inputs both function in the same way.
When an Armed voltage from the main control panel is connected to one of these
terminals, the FM4040 knows when the main control is armed. Once armed any
activation from a wireless detector will be stored in the engineers log.
RECEIVED SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATION (RSSI)
For connection to a digital voltmeter to indicate the Signal Strength of a
transmission received from a detector. (Refer to section on using the RSSI
output).

INSTALLATION
The factory defaults for the user and engineer codes are:-
USER CODE = 1 2 3 4
ENG CODE = 4 6 7 9
The recommended installation procedure is as follows:
1. Label detectors.
Each detector has a label inside for you to write the zone number onto for
reference during installation and for later service reference.
3. Complete a system record sheet
A system record sheet should be completed before commencing programming.
This acts as a reference when programming and can form part of the installation
records.
4. Locate the control panel
For best radio coverage the receiver is best located at a central point in the
building.
The higher it is the better for radio reception.
(Do not mount at floor level on a ground floor)
Metal objects cause radio reflections which oppose the signal being received from
the detector with a resultant reduction in the received signal strength. Metalwork
close by can result in complete cancellation, therefore do not site the control
panel or detectors near to large metal objects, metal piping, girders,
concentrations of mains cabling, fuse boxes etc.
Consider the ease of wiring when making your choice.
The Panel may be temporarily sited whilst a test is carried out to verify the
reception from distant detectors.
When satisfied the panel must be fixed using the three fixing points provided.
5. Program detectors onto the panel
Each detector has an internal "Learn" jumper.
To add a detector to the system:
Go into the engineer program. Select the zone number. Short out the learn
jumper on the detector. Remove the learn jumper after programming
The detector transmits its identity together with a learn bit. The panel stores the
detectors identity code and adds it to the chosen zone.
(Refer to the programming section)

INSTALLATION cont..
6. Carry out range test
If you keep a 4173 remote control for testing, you can program this onto the
system and then go to each detector location in turn and
verify that the control can be armed and disarmed from all detector locations.
7. Mount the detectors
Refer to the detector instructions for recommended mounting positions.
As reflections from metalwork act to cancel the transmission, avoid siting near to
any metalwork.
Reflections like this can often be overcome by a small movement in position of 15
to 20cm.
8. Making program changes.
Complete a system record sheet before making any changes.
Once programmed the program is stored in none volatile memory, so will remain
stored even in the event of complete power failure.
9. Radio test using the RSSI output
To measure the signal strength received from a detector.
i) Connect a Voltmeter to the RSSI output terminals.
ii) Press the reset button next to the RSSI terminals. The voltmeter should
now read zero volts.
iii) Go to the detector and operate the learn jumper.
iv) Return to the panel. The voltmeter now displays a voltage representing
the strength of the transmission received.
It will ignore any other transmissions and
only respond to the learn message or a Panic or Off message from a remote
control or panic button.
Press the reset button before testing the next detector.
The voltage reading should be a minimum of 1.0v.
The readings for each detector can be recorded on the system record sheet for
future reference.
10. Full system test
A walk test facility is provided in the Operating instructions. This may be used to
do a test of the detectors only.

FM4040 Installation Instructions
CI 202 Iss 1 26-11-02 Page 8of 20
Once the Sounders and dialler have been connected and the installation
completed a full test with remote signalling should be carried out.

ADDING WIRELESS DEVICES
When installing the system you may find it easier to label each detector with its
zone number and learn them into the panel before installation. Once
programmed into the panel's memory, the information will not be lost even when
power is removed from the panel.
01 PROGRAM DEVICES ONTO ZONE 1
Select program number 01. The numbered LED's will indicate how many
detectors are already on that zone. eg. if LED's 1, 2 and 3 are lit then there are 3
devices on that zone.
To delete all detectors from that zone press Part set & O keys together.
To add a detector to a zone, briefly short out the learn jumper on the detector and
ensure that the learn pins are not left permanently shorted. (The PIR sends a
learn by pressing the walk test button)

APPENDIX A USER FACILITIES cont..
TESTING YOUR ALARM SYSTEM
If your system incorporates an automatic telephone dialler going through to a
neighbour let your neighbour know you are carrying out a test .
If you have Police response via a Central Station connection, triggering the alarm
will not be acceptable to the Police.
Facility exists for you to test the detectors without causing a full alarm.
To select walk test:
1. Key in your pin number
2. Press the 9 key.
3. Walk around the building triggering each detector.
Each time a detector is triggered a chime tone will be generated.
On return to the panel, the zone indicators will be illuminated, indicating which
zones have been triggered.
Pressing the Off "0" key will clear the indicators.
PIR movement detectors have a 2 minute battery save timer. This means that
once it has sensed movement and transmitted its alarm signal, the detector must
see no movement for 2 minutes before it becomes active again.
Before testing PIR detectors ensure that no one has walked past them for 3
minutes.
A detector with a low battery will operate the internal audible alarm when
triggered.
To return the zone indicators to normal operation:
1. Key in your pin number
2. Press the 6 key.
In normal operation the zone lights indicate when a door is open and go out again
when the door is closed.
