About Output Device Programming (*79/*80 Menu Mode)
Output Devices:
The system supports up to 4 relays and/or Powerline Carrier devices (X-10
devices) plus 2 built-in trigger outputs in any combination. These 6 “outputs”
are assigned to system-wide output numbers (01-06 and 17-18). Use *79 Menu
Mode to assign output numbers and map them to device addresses.
Output Functions:
The system also provides up to 12 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.
Use *80 Menu Mode to define output functions.
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 [
✱
] to
go forward again.
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.
Start Output Device Mapping by pressing *79 while in Data Programming Mode. The following
prompts are displayed:
