Inovonics FA202 - Manual (Page 2)

E VACUATION P LANS
Develop plans for a variety of emergency situations. Periodically discuss and rehearse emergency plans that include the following:
• Know which doors and windows are normally locked, open, closed.
• Feel closed doors. If they feel hot, find another escape route.
• Teach all occupants to escape as quickly as possible. Do not stop to gather belongings.
• During your escape, crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to minimize smoke inhalation.
• Meet at a designated outdoor location.
• Insist that no one should return to the premises if there is a fire.
• Notify the fire department from a neighbor’s phone or by cell phone from outside the residence.
• Prepare a drawing of escape routes, using the following guidelines. See Figure 4.
•
Show all building levels.
• Show all exits. (Two exits per room are recommended.)
• Show the location of all components of the fire alarm system.
• Show the locations of any fire extinguishers, hoses, ladders, etc.
PROGRAMMING THE FA202
Program the FA202 prior to installation. If units are programmed offsite, they should be repackaged with batteries installed and the red dust cover in place.
(1) Locate the transmitter programming pins by disassembling the detector. (a) Remove the red dust cover containing the
batteries from the smoke detector. (b) With the smoke detector facing you, remove the detector body from its Mounting
Base by twisting the detector about 15 degrees counterclockwise with respect to the Mounting Base. See Figure 7. (c)
Remove the Sensor Cap by first sliding a flatblade screwdriver part way into the slot on the side of the Cap. See Figure 8.
Now, gently push the handle down while twisting the Sensor Cap counter-clockwise with respect to the Sensor. See
Figure 5. (d) Remove the Sensor from the Body by pushing down on the Smoke Chamber while pulling up on the bottom of
the body. See Figure 5. (e) Remove the Battery Cover that encloses the Battery Compartment by pushing on the area
marked OPEN. See Figure 9. (f) Take the batteries out of the red dust cover holder and load them into the Battery
Compartment. Make sure to observe battery polarity and make sure the battery removal ribbon rests under the batteries. (g)
Refer to Figure 6 to locate the programming pins on the transmitter board.
(2) Using an appropriate Inovonics programming device, set the programming options as follows:
External Switch Type: Normally Closed
EOL Resistor: No
Use Internal Contact: No
Check-in Time: 60 seconds
(3) When prompted by the programming device to plug in the transmitter, connect the programming cable to the 3-pin header.
See Figure 6. (Orientation of the cable with respect to the 3-pin header is not important; both outside pins on the 3-pin header are at ground potential.)
(4) Press the Reset button on the transmitter. See Figure 6.
When programming is complete, disconnect the cable, test the detector per the Sensitivity Test procedure, and reassemble the smoke detector.
Note: The FA202 retains registration data in non-vvolatile memory. It does not require re-programming after loss of power. Install a new battery and press the reset
button to re-initialise the transmitter and restore registration.
