Relay/Powerline Carrier Device Basics
Relays and Powerline Carrier devices (such as X-10 brand devices) 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 indicate status. In this system, you must program each
device as to how to act (ACTION), when to activate (START), and when to deactivate (STOP).
Each of these is described in the programming procedure for
✱
80 and
✱
81 Interactive modes
in Section 14: Mechanics of Programming.
The control supports a total of 8 output devices in the following configurations:
• One 4204 Relay Module (4 relays) and 4 Powerline Carrier devices.
• One 4229 Zone/Relay Module (2 relays) and 6 Powerline Carrier devices.
• Up to 8 Powerline Carrier devices (8 minus the number of output relays used).
A 4204 Relay Module cannot be used if a 4219 or 4229 is already being used, and vice versa.
The 4204 and 4229 Modules provide Form C (normally open and normally closed) contacts.
Powerline Carrier devices are controlled by signals sent through the electrical wiring at the
premises via a 4300 transformer. Therefore, if you are using Powerline Carrier devices, a
4300 transformer must be used in place of the regular system transformer.
Once a device is programmed into the system, the user sees no difference between a
Powerline Carrier device and a relay output device.
In
✱
80 and
✱
81 Interactive modes, a series of keypad prompts request entries for
programming of the relay outputs and/or Powerline Carrier devices used in the system.
Refer also to “Output Relays/Powerline Carrier Devices Worksheet for
✱
80 and

81
Interactive Modes” in the separate Programming Form .
4204 and 4229 Relay Modules
4204/4229 Setup
The 4204 (Figure 13) or 4229 (Figure 14) unit can be mounted either remotely or in the
control panel. Take the following steps to properly set up the 4204 or 4229:
1. Connect the 4204/4229 to the control's remote keypad terminals (4-7), using the connector
supplied with the 4204 and 4229. Use standard 4-conductor twisted cable for long wiring
runs.
