1GENERAL DESCRIPTIONThe NAPCO Freedom Deadbolt-Activated Home ProtectionSystem, a revolutionary new concept in residential security, com-bines intuitive interactive arming with a passive disarming scheme,providing a system which is not only effortless to use, but also100% false alarm resistant during the critical arming and disarmingsequences.The system is armed with a simple push of a button (Lor M) on the F-TP Touchpad control module, followed by thelocking of the home’s deadbolt. To disarm, simply unlock thedeadbolt.The microprocessor controlled F-TP Touch-pad receives information regarding the status of thedeadbolt and door through its integral receiver,from the F-LTRANS wireless transmitter and anintegral PIR sensor to ensure fool-proof operation.The F-LTRANS wireless transmitter deter-mines the status of the deadbolt (locked orunlocked) through the F-TAB deadbolt sensor,which is installed in the deadbolt strike hole. Thedoor status (open or closed) is supplied to the F-LTRANS wireless transmitter via a reed switch ordoor contact sensor (not provided) wired into it.This information is transmitted to the wireless re-ceiver inside the F-TP Touchpad, and is used toarm and/or disarm the system. There are no mov-ing parts in the F-TAB deadbolt sensor to break orwear out; its adaptive inductive system ensurestrouble free use. If the position of the bolt in thedeadbolt strike hole changes over time due to thedoor sagging, deadbolt replacement, etc., the F-TPTouchpad microprocessor will automatically ac-count for, and make, the necessary adjustments for thesechanges.The F-TP Touchpad’s integral wide-angle PIR motion sensoracts as an occupancy sensor that provides the microprocessorwith activity information which prevents the user from making er-rors during the critical exit and entry periods. For example, if theUser presses the AWAY button, opens and closes the door andlocks the deadbolt but does not leave, the PIR will sense theUser’s presence in the home and automatically default to STAYmode arming, preventing a false alarm.If the system is armed in the AWAY mode, the F-TP Touch-pad PIR will generate an alarm if an intruder is detected. After anintruder has been detected, the system may only be silenced byinserting the F-IFOB digital key into the F-IFOB slot on the F-TPTouchpad.By allowing this level of system control without traditionalnumeric keypad interaction, the NAPCO Freedom System will pro-vide a significant reduction in false alarms due to user error andalso provide comfortable use of the system to those customerswhose technophobic tendencies would prevent them from armingand disarming the system using a traditional keypad.The NAPCO Freedom System is also designed to preventthe arming of the alarm system if all deadbolts are not engaged, ahigh security feature normally found only in very elaborate high-end installations.INTEGRAL WIRELESS RECEIVERThe F-TP Touchpad incorporates an integral RF receiver.This receiver receives transmissions ONLY from the F-LTRANSwireless transmitter (no other transmitters will work with this re-ceiver). The system uses two different frequencies to reduce"nulls" and prevent noise on a single frequency from disruptingcommunication. Rolling codes are also used toprevent transmissions from being recorded and re-transmitted to defeat the system.The minimum free air distance is about 600 feet,but walls and other obstructions may significantlyreduce this distance. The Primary transmittershould never have a range problem as it should beplaced within the same room as the F-TP Touch-pad as required for the integral PIR to protect theinterior deadbolt latch. However, the signal rangeshould be taken into account when considering theuse of a second transmitter to optionally protect asecond door / deadbolt.INSTALLATIONThe NAPCO Freedom System utilizes the home’sexisting deadbolts and requires only that the F-TAB deadbolt sensor be installed into the deadboltstrike hole in the door jamb. This sensor enablesthe system to detect the status of the deadbolt andis compatible with all ¾" diameter deadbolts with a5/8" throw or greater. Simply remove the strike plate and dust cup,run the 2 conductor wire from the deadbolt hole to a F-LTRANSwireless transmitter, and insert the F-TAB deadbolt sensor into thestrike hole. The F-TP Touchpad installs on a 4-wire bus and alsoincludes an integral siren that produces 85 dB (at 10 feet) as re-quired for UL Residential Burglar and Fire. The Touchpad doesnot have to be located next to the door, but can be mounted any-where that allows the integral PIR to protect the door latch, andallows the user to hear the siren chirp when exiting and armingAWAY. The F-LTRANS wireless transmitter is typically mountedadjacent to the doorframe. It may be mounted high enough to beunobtrusive, yet accessible for inspection and battery replacement.The F-TP Touchpad includes 1 optional on-board input foran auxiliary device such as a motion sensor, glass-break detectoror other device. In less time than it takes to install a traditional key-pad, this comprehensive module consisting of the Touchpad,deadbolt sensor, door contact, motion sensor and siren can beinstalled.NOTE: If protecting a door with glass panels or side lights,FREEDOM WirelessF-TP Touchpad, F-LTRANS and F-TABINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSWI1439 10/05This manual contains the Installation Instructions for the F-TP Touchpad, F-TAB deadbolt sensor and the F-LTRANS wireless trans-mitter.
