Type 01

Assign to zones that are used for primary entry and exit.

 

 

Entry/Exit Burglary #1

Provides entry delay if the control is armed in the Away or Stay modes.

 

 

No entry delay is provided when the panel is armed in the Instant mode.

 

 

Entry delay #1 is programmable from 0 to 99 seconds for each partition.

 

 

Exit delay begins whenever the control is armed, regardless of the arming mode selected, and is

 

 

 

independently programmable from 0 to 99 seconds (field

34).

 

Type 02

Assign to zones that are used for entry and exit and require more time than the primary entry/exit point.

 

Entry/Exit Burglary #2

Provides a secondary entry delay, in same manner as entry delay #1.

 

 

 

Entry delay #2 is programmable from 0 to 99 seconds for each partition.

 

 

Exit delay is same as described for Type 01.

 

 

Type 03

Assign to all sensors or contacts on exterior doors and windows.

 

 

Perimeter Burglary

Provides an instant alarm if the zone is faulted when the panel is armed in the Away, Stay, or Instant

 

 

 

modes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Type 04

Assign to a zone covering an area such as a foyer, lobby, or hallway through which one must pass upon

 

Interior Follower

 

entry (to and from the keypad).

 

 

 

 

 

Provides a delayed alarm (using the programmed entry/exit time) if the entry/exit zone is faulted first.

 

 

Otherwise this zone type gives an instant alarm.

 

 

 

Active when the panel is armed in the Away mode.

 

 

 

Bypassed automatically when the panel is armed in the Stay or Instant modes.

 

Type 05

Assign to a zone that contains a foil-protected door or window (such as in a store), or to a zone covering

 

Trouble by Day/

a sensitive area such as a stock room, drug supply room, etc.

 

 

Alarm by Night

Can also be used on a sensor or contact in an area where immediate notification of an entry is desired.

 

Provides an instant alarm if faulted when armed in the Away, Stay, or Instant (night) modes.

 

 

 

 

During the disarmed state (day), the system will provide a latched trouble sounding from the keypad (and a

 

 

 

central station report, if desired).

 

 

Type 06

Usually assigned to a zone containing an emergency button.

 

 

24-hour Silent Alarm

Sends a report to the central station but provides no keypad display or sounding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Type 07

Assign to a zone that has an emergency button.

 

 

24-hour Audible Alarm

Sends a report to the central station, and provides an alarm sound at the keypad, and an audible external

 

 

 

alarm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Type 08

Assign to a zone containing an emergency button, or to a zone containing monitoring devices such as

 

24-hour

water or temperature sensors.

 

 

 

(No bell output is

Auxiliary Alarm

provided.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Type 09

Provides a fire alarm on short circuit and a trouble condition on open circuit. A fire alarm produces a

 

Fire

 

pulsing bell output.

 

 

 

 

 

This zone type is always active and cannot be bypassed.

 

 

 

 

Note:

Hardwired zone 1 should be used with 2-wire smoke detectors; zones 2-8 can be used with 4-wire

 

 

 

 

smoke detectors; any wireless zone can be used as a fire zone.

 

Type 10

Provides entry delay (using the programmed entry time), if tripped when the panel is armed in the Away

 

Interior w/Delay

 

mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Entry Delay begins whenever sensors in this zone are violated, regardless of whether or not an entry/exit

 

 

 

delay zone was tripped first.

 

 

 

 

 

Bypassed when the panel is armed in the Stay or Instant modes.

 

 

Type 12

Works as a dynamic monitor of a zone fault/trouble. In the case of a short/open, the message, "

ALARM-

Monitor Zone

 

24 Hr. Non-Burg. -#XXX

" (where XXX is the zone number) will be sent to the Central Station. The

 

 

system keypad will display a “check” message indicating the appropriate zone. Upon restoral of the zone,

 

 

 

the message, "

RESTORE-24 Hr. Non-Burg. -#XXX

" will be sent to the Central Station.

 

The “check” message will automatically disappear from the keypad. The zone restores dynamically;

 

 

 

therefore a user code + off sequence is not needed to reset the zone.

 

 

Faults of this zone type are independent of the system, and can exist at the time of arming without

 

 

 

interference.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since this is a “trouble” zone type, do not use this zone type with relays set to activate upon “alarm.”

 

Type 14

Assigned to any zone with a carbon monoxide detector.

 

 

Carbon Monoxide

The bell output will pulse when this zone type is alarmed.

 

 

 

Always active and cannot be bypassed.

 

 

 

 

Type 16

Provides a fire alarm when zone is shorted, but only after alarm verified.

 

Fire w/Verification

System verifies alarm by resetting zones for 12 seconds after short is detected. A subsequent short circuit

 

 

within 90 seconds triggers fire alarm.

 

 

 

Provides a trouble response when zone is open.

 

 

 

UL: may not be used on zone 1.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Type 20

Arms the system in Stay mode when the zone is activated.

 

 

Arm-Stay

Pushbutton units send the user number to the central station when arming or disarming.

 

User code for button must be assigned.

The First Alert FA168CP-CN, FA168C-CN, FA168C, and FA168CP are standout models in the realm of fire alarm technology, presenting an effective blend of advanced features, reliable performance, and user-friendly design.

A hallmark of these models is their dual-sensor technology, which combines both photoelectric and ionization sensors. This innovative approach allows for quicker detection of a wide range of fire types, from smoldering fires that typically produce more smoke to fast-flaming fires that generate more heat. This dual capability enhances the efficiency and response time of the alarm, ensuring users receive timely alerts.

Another prominent characteristic of these First Alert models is their comprehensive connectivity. Most models are equipped with a wireless interconnect feature, which allows multiple alarms throughout the home to communicate with one another. When one unit detects smoke or carbon monoxide, all interconnected alarms will sound, maximizing alertness across the property. This feature is particularly beneficial in larger homes or multi-story buildings, where sound may not travel freely.

The FA168 series also includes a built-in, non-replaceable lithium battery, providing up to 10 years of power. This design not only eliminates the need for constant battery replacements but also ensures that the unit remains functional for an extended period without hassle. A convenient low battery notification alerts users when it’s time to replace the entire unit, adding an extra layer of safety.

In terms of installation, these models offer a user-friendly design that makes setup and maintenance straightforward. The unit typically features a single test/silence button, allowing users to quickly test the alarm's functionality or silence false alarms with ease.

Furthermore, the clear LED indicators provide visual confirmation of the alarm status, keeping users informed about potential threats. Design-wise, the FA168 series models boast a sleek and modern aesthetic that can seamlessly blend into various interior environments.

Overall, the First Alert FA168CP-CN, FA168C-CN, FA168C, and FA168CP serve as reliable guardians against fire hazards, employing cutting-edge technology to offer peace of mind to users. With their formidable features, easy installation, and efficient power management, these fire alarm models stand as excellent choices for both homes and businesses seeking enhanced safety measures.
