About Output Device Programming
Output Devices: The FA168CPS system supports up to 16 relays and/or Powerline Carrier
devices (X-10 devices) plus 2 built-in trigger outputs in any combination. These
18 “outputs” are assigned to system-wide output numbers (01-18). Use *79
Menu Mode to assign output numbers and map them to device addresses.
The FA148CP supports 8 relays and 2 built-in trigger outputs (total 10
outputs).
Output Functions: The system also provides installer-defined output functions, which can be
assigned to any of the physical outputs. Therefore, the action of any one of the
outputs can be based on as many of these functions as desired. This lets a single
relay or X-10 device perform many functions.
The controls support up to 48 output functions.
Use *80 Menu Mode to define output functions.
Relays and output devices are not recommended for life safety applications.
NOTE: When navigating the *79 and *80 menus: The [
✱
] key is used to accept an entry and advance
to the next prompt. The [#] key is used to revert back to the last question to check or change an entry.
Press [

Output Device programming involves:
1. Use *79 Menu Mode to assign module and output numbers and map them to device addresses.
NOTE: You must map output devices using *79 Menu Mode before you can use *80 menu Mode.
2. Use *80 Menu Mode to create output definitions, which control the output devices.
*79 Menu Mode: Output Device Mapping
Use this menu to assign Relay Module device addresses and specific relay numbers, and Powerline
Carrier unit numbers. The system is based on predefined module addresses for 4204 and 4229 modules.
Refer to the table shown at the “Module Address” prompt on the next page and set the modules’
addresses (via module DIP switches) accordingly.
The following table shows how these outputs are identified.
Output Identification
This output… is identified by…
Relays: the Relay Module’s device address and the relay position on that module (i.e. the physical
relay number, 1-4, on that module).
X-10 Device a house ID (entered in data field *27) and the unit number of the device.
Built-in Outputs the output number assigned, 17 for Trigger 1 and/or 18 for Trigger 2.
