Section 7. RELAY OUTPUTS

Relay Device Basics

Relays are programmable switches that can be used to perform many different

functions. They can be used to turn lights on and off, control sounders, or for

status indications. In this system, each relay must be programmed as to how

to act (ACTION), when to activate (START), and when to deactivate (STOP).

Each of these is described below, and in the programming procedure for

✱

and

✱

81 interactive modes that are provided at the end of this section.

The control supports the following relay modules:

4204 Relay Module (4 relays).

4229 Zone Expander/Relay Module (2 relays).

The 4204 and 4229 relays provide Form C (normally open and normally

closed) contacts.

A 4204 cannot be used if a 4219 or 4229 is already being used.

✱

80 and

✱

81 interactive modes, a series of keypad prompts will request

entries for programming of the Relay outputs used in the system. Refer also to

“OUTPUT RELAYS WORKSHEET FOR FIELDS

The 4204 unit can be mounted either remotely or in the control panel. The

following steps should be taken to properly set up the 4204:

1. Connect the 4204 or 4229 module to the control's remote keypad

terminals (4–7), using the connector supplied with the module. Use

standard 4-conductor twisted cable for long wiring runs.

2. Set the 4204 or 4229's DIP switch for a device address of "1" (switch 2

"OFF" and switches 3, 4, and 5 "ON"). Switch 1 determines the unit's cover

tamper response ("ON" = disabled, "OFF" = enabled).

3. Connect the desired field wiring to the unit's relay contact terminals. See

Figures 10 and 11.

Supervision The 4204 and 4229 modules are supervised against removal. CHECK and

zone 09 will be displayed if a module is disconnected from the control’s

keypad terminals (4, 5, 6, & 7).
