Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the Wireless Antenna Module FAM14 and associated antennas FA250 and FA200, designed for the Eltako RS485 bus system. It highlights the module's features, specifications, and connectivity options.
Specifications: The FAM14 is a bidirectional, encrypted wireless antenna module with an integrated power supply unit of 12V DC/12W. It has a standby loss of only 1 watt and can be mounted on a DIN-EN 60715 TH35 rail. The module measures 36mm in width and 58mm in depth and operates on a supply voltage of 230V.
Components Included: The package includes two terminators, three jumpers (one spare), and two half-module jumpers (one spare). The module can connect up to 126 channels to the Eltako RS485 bus, with bus cross wiring and power supply facilitated by jumpers.
Connectivity and Configuration: The FAM14 can connect to a PC via a mini USB for configuration using the PCT14 tool, which requires a legalisation code for download. It supports up to 128 encrypted sensors and features rotary switches for teaching in sensors and setting operating modes. The module's LEDs indicate wireless command reception and PC connection status.
Antennas: The FAM14 comes with a small antenna that can be replaced by larger antennas FA250 or FA200, which have magnetic bases and cables for external mounting. The FA250 has a 250cm cable, while the FA200 has a 200cm cable, with respective prices of 20.50 €/pc and 66.60 €/pc, excluding VAT.
Installation Notes: A ventilation clearance of ½ module is required if the load exceeds 50% of the rated capacity. The module's upper rotary switch allows for setting 10 different operating modes, and the lower switch is used for teaching in encrypted sensors.

Wireless Antenna Module FAM14 and Wireless Antennas FA . FAM14 Wireless antenna module for the Eltako RS485 bus with exchangeable antenna. With integrated power supply unit 12V DC/12W. Bidirectional. Encrypted wireless. Only 1 watt standby loss. If required, a wireless antenna FA250 or FA200 can be connected. Modular device for DIN-EN 60715 TH35 rail mounting. 2 module = 36mm wide, 58mm deep. Supply voltage 230 V. The delivery includes 2 terminators with printing , 1/2 module, 3 jumpers 1 module (including Hold 1 spare), 2 jumpers 1/2 module (including 1 spare). N The wireless antenna module FAM14 receives and tests all signals from wireless transmitters and repeaters within the receiving range. These are transmitted via an RS485 interface to RS485 bus switching actuators connected in series: The enclosed small antenna can be Up to 126 channels can be connected to the Eltako RS485 bus. Bus cross wiring and power replaced with a wireless antenna supply with jumper. FA250 or if need be FA200 with The attached second terminator has to be plugged to the last actuator. magnetic base and cable. Starting in production week 10/14, you can teach in up to 128 encrypted sensors. Function rotary switches Mini USB to connect to a PC, to create an equipment list, to configurate the actuators using the PC tool PCT14 and for data backup. A legalisation code to download the PCT14 from the Eltako website www.eltako.com is supplied with the FAM14. Gateways FGW14 and FGW14-USB will be connected to the terminal Hold when they connect a PC with a RS232 bus and/or up to 3 wireless receiver modules FEM with a sub-bus RS485. FTS14EM, FTS14KEM, FTS14KS and FTS14TG will be also connected to terminal Hold. The lower rotary switch is required to teach in encrypted sensors and can be turned to AUTO 1 in operation. Unencrypted sensors need not be taught-in in the FAM14. With the upper rotary switch BA 10 different operating modes can be set as described in the operating instructions. Standard setting ex works. The upper LED displays all perceived wireless commands in the reception area by short flickering. The bottom LED lights up green if a connection from the PC tool PCT14 to the FAM14 was created. When reading or writing date the LED flashes green. The green LED goes out if the connection from the PC tool PCT14 to the FAM14 was terminated. At a load of more than 50% of the rated capacity of 12W a ventilation clearance of ½ module must be maintained with the spacer DS14 on the left side. Wireless antenna module FA250 and FA200 Wireless antennas with magnetic base The small enclosed wireless antenna of the wireless antenna modules FAM14 can be replaced by a larger antenna to feed wireless signals into metallic switching cabinets. It is mounted on the magnetic base externally and the cable is routed inside the cabinet to the FAM14. Wireless antenna with 250cm cable High-performance receive antenna with 200cm cable Recommended retail prices excluding VAT.
