23.10 FA Series Transmitter Information
A House ID Number is like an address for FA Series wireless transmitters so they know with which panel they should
be communicating. The House ID Number is based on the last two digits of the panel primary account number.
Be sure that the primary panel account number is programmed before programming any wireless transmitters.
Because the House ID is based on the account number, entering or changing the primary account number after
programming the transmitters requires you to reprogram all of the transmitters.
Cross Talk
If you have more than one account within a ve-mile radius, there is a possibility that “cross talk” can occur.
“Cross talk” is when transmitters communicate with multiple panels when the transmitters have the same House
ID. If you have two panels within a ve-mile radius that use wireless zones, be sure that the last two digits of
the account numbers are not the same.
For example, ABC Plumbing has a panel with an account number of 12345 that uses wireless zones. The House
ID for the wireless transmitters at ABC Plumbing is 45. Two blocks away, XYZ Printing has an account number of
22345 and the panel also uses wireless zones. The House ID for the transmitters for XYZ Printing is 45. Because
the two accounts have the same last two digits in the account numbers, the House ID is the same. Therefore,
the wireless transmitters “cross talk” and report to both panels bearing the same House ID.
To avoid “cross talking”, panels within a ve-mile radius must not have the same two digits in the primary
account number. If a “cross talk” issue is already present, you must delete the wireless transmitter zones, enter
the proper account numbers, and then reprogram the wireless transmitters.

FA Series Check-in Time Explained
The check-in time programmed for FA Series wireless transmitters is the number of seconds between each
message sent from the transmitter to the FA Series receiver for supervision purposes. This time is programmable
for each transmitter from 10, 30, or 60 seconds. Selecting 0 (zero) disables check-in. If no messages are
received from a transmitter in any four-hour period, a transmitter missing is generated by the FA Series receiver
and communicated to the panel.
DMP 1100 Series Supervision Time Explained
The supervision time programmed for DMP 1100 Series wireless is the number of minutes that must elapse
before a transmitter missing message is generated for a transmitter that is not sending its automatically
generated supervision message. The supervision time is programmable to 3, 60, 240 minutes. Selecting 0 (zero)
disables supervision time.
