1. Is the FWJA69B break glass volumetric?
No, but similar technology is employed by measuring air pressure and acoustics for up to 9 meters.

2. Can you enrol more than one FWJA60A Sounder?
Yes, you can. This can be done but you will lose a zone.
From enrolling mode – enter 000000 and then select zone to use. Power up FWJA60A and the sounder will enrol to that zone.

3. How do you set up Part Set Zones on the FWJA63xxx?
Detectors can be made Part set by assigning the required zones to Section B or C

Wired zones 60 nn(zone) x(triggering), y(reaction), s(section)
Wireless zones 61 nn(zone) s(section)

4. What is the minimum PC specification required for using the Comlink software?
486 32Mb. A serial port is required.

5. How far can the magnet be from the FWJA60N universal contact.
10mm. Alternative contacts can be directly wired to the FWJA60N giving different specifications.

6. How do you alter the FWJA60P PIR sleep time from 5mins default to 1min?
To alter sleep time keep tamper switch depressed upon power up.

7. Whilst in setting mode will a door contact signal when in an open condition ?
The detectors need to be set for instant and the arm and disarm chirps enabled (seq 361) and indication of system problems when arming needs to be selected (seq 391)..

8. What is the cut off time of the UC260?
3 minutes.

9. How can I Enable / Disable entry exit tones?
Tones can be Enabled and Disabled commands Page 14 Installer manual

10. Where is the F key on the software for the digi dialler?

11. How can I alter my PA output to Audible?

The default setting for PA is silent. However, this can be made audible from ‘P’ mode press:
6931 = Audible
6930 = Silent


12. What frequency does the Freewave system use?
Freewave utilises advanced error checking with anti scan and anti jam algorithm on 433Mhz band.

13. What product do you get in the Standard System kit?
Several kit options are available. The Standard kit consists of:

FWJA63KRX Control Panel with speech & digital communicator
FWJA60F Wireless Keypad
FWRC40 4 Button Remote Control Fob
FWJA60P Wireless PIR
FWJA60N Door Contact
FWUC20 Internal Sounder
FWJA60A External Wirefree Sounder

14. What product do you get in the GSM System kit?
Several kit options are available. The GSM kit consists of:

FWJA63KRG Control Panel with GSM communicator
FWJA60F Wireless Keypad
FWRC40 4 Button Remote Control Fob
FWJA60P Wireless PIR
FWJA60N Door Contact
FWUC20 Internal Sounder
FWJA60A External Wirefree Sounder

15. Can you check the signal strength from each device location to the control panel?
Yes. If you press button 8 in enrolment mode the communication quality of any of the enrolled items can be verified. The keypad display will show the percentage level of signal strength. When installing, because you can walk around with the wireless keypad you do not have to walk back to the panel to read the radio strength.

16. How do I program Contact ID from the keypad ?
We recommend using the software where possible to alter the Contact ID settings but if required this can be changed from the keypad.
Programming the JA-65X digital dialer for Contact ID protocol using the keypad

To select Contact ID enter (in P mode): 0390

To select the Contact ID events to be transmitted:

Enter 0 xxxrc where

xxx= event number from the below table (column N)

rc= report code (for Contact ID only, 00= event not reported to CMS, 11 = event reported)

Central Monitoring Station report codes table for Contact ID only (a larger table is needed for other protocols)
For Contact ID protocol, program code 11 for events (Rc) which you want to report and the system will generate all details regarding the event automatically including the events source details.

 

N. Event Code
001 Arming with remote control N.1 Rc
024 Partial arming Rc
025 Quick arming without code Rc

17. Can you get alternative lenses for the JA60P PIR ?
Yes. Pet, curtain and corridor lenses are available.

18. For a decoy siren which should I choose that most closely resembles the FWJA60A?
The unit used for the wirefree sounder is called the Protecta. A Protecta dummy cover and bracket is available through security suppliers.

19. When ordering the PC cable does it automatically come with software?
Yes

20. What is a 240VAC module as described in the gardiner catalogue? Do I need it?
No, Only if you wish to control mains powered devices to your security system.

21. What is the main advantage for a wirefree over a wired keypad?
As with all wireless equipment you are not restricted by cable restraint so installation of wireless keypads can be almost anywhere.
The wireless keypad can also act a signal strength meter on installation
.
22. Is the siren PSU a plug in type? Is it sealed? Do you have a photo?
It is a sealed double insulated device. The unit has a two core mains input and a 15v AC out
