Unfortunately, I have only the owner's manual for the FA140C and the fob and wireless physical installation manuals - no programming manual.  I do have the system master code and some notes on the five zones established.  I believe that I need to get the wireless unit into a "listening" mode and then press the key fob buttons.

If your system is monitored, you should be calling your service company
to enroll the keypad.  If they locked out the control, you won't be able
to get into programming without the installer code.  The programming
manual is available through Jim Rojas at www.tech-man.com, but having it
without access to installer level programming isn't going to get you
very far.  Good luck!
