Frequently Asked Questions - FU8403 ABUS

How to program a detector on the FU8403 display?

To program a detector, access submenu LED 01 (detector programming) by pressing SELECT once and then SET once. Select the free zone with SELECT, confirm with SET (the LED flashes green). Open the tamper contact of the detector (e.g., FTS 96E) to emit the radio signal. An audible signal confirms programming. Exit with ESC.

How to delete a programmed detector?

Access submenu LED 02 (detector deletion) by pressing SELECT until LED 02 lights up, then press SET. Select the detector to delete with SELECT (the LED flashes orange). Press and hold SET until the LED turns off. Exit with ESC.

What to do if an LED flashes red after a power failure?

After a power failure, the zone LEDs flash rapidly red to indicate that the detector status has not yet been updated. Wait for the detectors to send their signal (usually within a few minutes). If the problem persists, check the power supply and radio range.

How to check the radio link quality of a detector?

Use submenu LED 03 (radio level display). Press SELECT until LED 03, then SET. Select the detector with SELECT. The number of LEDs lit from LED 16 indicates the signal strength. At least 3 LEDs should be lit for long-term reliability.

What does a flashing green LED mean?

A slowly flashing green LED indicates a supervision fault: the detector has not sent a radio signal for approximately 15 minutes. Check the detector's battery and radio range. The error LED 18 also lights up red.

How to completely reset the display?

Access submenu LED 16 (reset) by pressing SELECT until LED 16, then press SET. All LEDs 01-16 flash red. Press and hold SET until all LEDs turn off. The display automatically returns to display mode.

Where to install the wireless display for optimal use?

Install the display in a central location in the house, preferably near the entrance door, in a dry indoor area. Avoid extreme temperatures (0 °C to +50 °C) and humidity above 90%. Ensure a 230 V power outlet is nearby (1.50 m cable).

Which detectors are compatible with the FU8403?

The display is compatible with ABUS wireless detectors, notably the wireless window security system FTS 96E and the wireless opening detector. It can manage up to 16 detectors on 16 individual zones.

How to use the supplied identification cards?

The DIN A5 identification cards are for noting the zone assignments. You can write them by hand or print them using the downloadable file from www.abus-sc.de (ref. FU8403). After printing, cut along the dotted lines and insert them into the display as shown in the illustration.

What to do in case of loss of connection with a detector (error LED 18 lit)?

The red error LED 18 and the zone LED flashing green indicate no radio signal from the detector for approximately 15 minutes. First check the detector's battery status (replace if necessary). Then ensure the detector is within range (at least 3 LEDs lit during radio test). If the problem persists, reprogram the detector.

I. General information

This product complies with the requirements in the applicable European and national directives. The conformity has been verified; the corresponding declarations and documents are deposited with the manufacturer (www.abus-sc.com).

To maintain the condition and ensure safe operation, the user must comply with these installation instructions. It is prohibited to modify or alter any part of the product. Avoid any finger contact with the pcb, except pressing the keys.

Neither the author nor ABUS-SC assumes any liability for losses or damages that are caused directly or indirectly by these instructions nor if it is claimed that such arise due to these instructions. The contents of these instructions can be changed without prior notice.

II. Safety instructions

To prevent fires and injuries, follow the instructions below:

• Securely attach the device to a dry position in the building
  The radio controlled display module is designed solely for interior use
• Avoid temperatures under 0^ and overr +50^
  The maximum relative humidity must not exceed 90% (non-condensing)
• Make sure no metallic objects can be inserted into the device from outside
• Use only the supplied 12 V power supply; other power supplies can lead to destruction of the device
• Connect the 12V power supply to the public electric grid to a standard 230 V/50 Hz alternating current receptacle

III. Applications

Basically, compatible alarms (e.g. wireless windowlock FTS 96 E, wireless magnetic contact) are taught in zones in the radio controlled display module. These zones are optically displayed by the LEDs 01-16.

The radio controlled display module receives information by radio from the taught detectors on a special secure frequency. When using the radio controlled display module in combination with the FTS 96 E, the display shows whether the FTS 96 E is unlocked or locked and if the window is closed. When using the magnetic contact, the display module indicates whether the window is closed if the detector has been correctly attached. The red LED on the display module acts as a warning that you still need to close windows or additional windowlocks before leaving the house. When all the diodes are green, all the windows are closed and/or secured (when using the FTS 96 E).

That means 16 different zones provide a complete overview for up to 16 detectors.

To accomplish that, we recommend installing the radio controlled display module near the house entrances, apartment entrance doors or in other central points in the building.

Notes:

The radio controlled display module automatically returns to the display mode if no activity has occurred for a period of ca. 3 minutes (no keys were pressed and no detector was taught).

If no radio signal has been detected from the respective radio alarm forca. 15 minutes, a supervision error is indicated by the red LED 18 and therespective zone LED flashing green.

VII. Labelling the inlays

An online tool is available for high quality inlaylabelling using a printer. Alternatively, you can also label manually.

a) Go to Internet page www.abus-sc.de. On the Article FU 8403 you can download the file Druckvorlage_Einleger.pdf

c) After completing the lettering, start the "File" menu using the with the sub-item "Print"
d) Adopt these settings:

Page adjustment: None
Automatic rotation and centring
- Select paper source based on the PDF page size

e) Insert the enclosed DIN A5 paper (without lettering) in the printer. Confirm the print job with "OK"
f) Remove printout from printer and cut the template along the marked edge
g) Push the template into the radio controlled display module as shown in the illustration

Note: It is not possible to save the entered data!

VIII. Installation

Hint: Before installing the detector and the radio controlled display module, make sure that there is a reliable radio connection between the intended installation positions.

To ensure permanently secure radio reception, at least three LEDs should be illuminated per alarm (see Point VI. f).

Hold the bottom of theradio controlled display module on thedesired installation position and mark the three drill holes; drill with a 6 mm drill;insert dowel and screw on the bottom part.

Caution: Length of cable on power supply 1.50 metres. A nearby 230 VAC receptacle is required.

After completing the teaching process, put the top part of the radio controlled display module on the installed bottom section and secure to the bottom section with the enclosed screws.
