The receiver will see the FA214 as 4 separate transmitters.
Pressing one of the buttons activates the output programmed to
that point.
Activation signals are transmitted multiple times, and are indicated
by the blinking transmission indicator LED.
Note: The FA214 does not send restoral signals; i.e., it only
transmits activations. The receiver should be programmed for
momentary outputs.
Attention: Inovonics recommends that the FA214 be
programmed as a supervised device if used for life safety
applications.
