Adjusting the Freedom F-TPBR Touchpad Sounder Volume
The F-TPBR Touchpad alarm circuit includes a potentiometer which regulates the volume of the sounder. The sounder
volume is set at the factory to the minimum level (fully counter-clockwise) and can be increased to satisfy the require-
ments of the installation. Adjust the volume as follows:
Listen to the F-TPBR
Touchpad sounder from
various areas of the room.
If further adjustment of the
sounder volume is required,
repeat steps 3-6 as needed.
6
After all components
of the system are in-
stalled and fully func-
tioning, determine if the
volume of the F-TPBR
Touchpad sounder is suffi-
cient. The volume is set to
the lowest level at the fac-
tory, and if you determine
it should be increased,
continue with the following
steps.
1
On the circuit board,
adjust the sounder
volume. Using a
small Phillips-head screw-
driver, turn the potenti-
ometer clockwise to in-
crease the volume until
desired the level is
reached.

Install the F-TPBR Touchpad
Face
Double-check all connections to the
F-TPBR Touchpad using the wiring
diagram as a guide. Be sure all ac-
cess holes are sealed with putty to
ensure F-TPBR Touchpad is air tight.
Snap the front of the F-TPBR Touch-
pad onto the base by first inserting the
2 slots in the top onto the correspond-
ing tabs and then snapping the bot-
tom into place.
