Important Installation Highlights (Installer Please Read)
•
This system uses addressable keypads and Zone Expander Modules (see table of addresses in
Programming Overview section).
•
Keypads must be set for addresses 16-23 (first keypad is address 16, which is different from
previous controls) and programmed in data fields *190-*196.
•
Zone Expander Modules must be set for specific addresses (07-11), based on the zone numbers used
(see table of addresses in 4219/4229 Expansion Zones section).
•
4204 Relay Modules must be set for specific addresses (12-15; see Connecting Relay Modules
section).
•
This control will not power-up unless AC power is connected (will not power-up on battery alone).
However, once the system is powered up, it will operate on battery power in the event of AC loss.
•
Relays have two programming menu modes: Use *79 Menu mode to map module addresses and
device (output) numbers. Use *80 Menu mode to define the output functions (see Output Device
Programming section).
•
This system supports programmable function keys. Use *57 Menu mode to define the function keys
(see Function Key Programming section).
•
This system provides various paging features. Refer to the Programming Overview section for a
summary on pager programming.
