3.2 |  Wire the B820 to the control panel

When you wire a B820 to a control panel, use the control panel SDI2 terminals labeled R, 
Y, G, B (PWR, A, B, COM). Connect them to the module terminals labeled PWR, A, B, COM. 
Refer to 

Figure 3.3

Figure 3.3: Wiring to the control panel (GV4 Series control panel shown)

CAUTION!

Remove all power (AC and 
battery) before making any 
connections. Failure to do so 
might result in personal injury 
and/or equipment damage.

2 |  SDI2 address settings

The address switch determines the address 
for the B820 module. The control panel 
uses the address for communications. Use 
a slotted screwdriver to set the address 
switch. 
Set the address for the module to 1 prior to 
installing it in the EN4200 housing. 

Figure 

2.1

 shows the address switches setting for 

address 1.

NOTICE!

The module reads the address 
switch setting only during power 
up. If you change the switch after 
you apply power to the module, 
you must cycle the power to 
the module in order for the new 
setting to be enabled.

Figure 2.1: Address switch

After you set the address switch for the 
proper address, install the module in the 
EN4200 housing, and then wire the module 
to the control panel.

3.1 |  Install the B820 into 
the EN4200 housing

Installing the module into the housing:
1.  Use a slotted screwdriver to press 
the housing release tab and separate the 
housing. Refer to 

Figure 3.1

.

2.  Remove the backing from the Velcro 
piece found in the product packaging to 
reveal the Velcro adhesive. 
3.  Place the Velcro’s adhesive side onto 
the back of the module.     
4.  Remove the remaining backing to use to 
secure the module in the housing.
5.  Insert the B820 module into the EN4200 
housing, connecting the B820’s serial data 
port to the EN4200’s serial data port. Refer 
to 

Figure 3.2

.

6.  Gently apply pressure to the B820 
module to snap it into the housing clips 
and to apply the Velcro adhesive to the 
housing.
