PC4204CXCF

Power Supply / Relay Output / Combus Repeater Module

v 3.0 • Installation Instructions

1.0 Introduction

The PC4204CXCF is a power supply/relay output module for use
with PC4010CF and PC4020CF Maxsys fire/security systems. The
PC4204CXCF provides one power output for system devices and 4
programmable relay outputs. Relay 1 can be used to repower the
Combus. This module will also regenerate the Combus data signal to
allow for longer wire runs. This module is not to be used for fire alarm
bells.

NOTE:  The PC4204CXCF is the only power supply which can repower the
Combus on PC4010/PC4020CF systems. See the control panel Installation
Manual

 for details.

The PC4204CXCF is the only power supply unit for PC4010CF/PC4020CF
system devices which has UL/NFPA required supervision integrated
into the control panel. Primary power for the PC4204CXCF must be
connected to the same branch circuit as the PC4020CF.

3.0 Installing the PC4204CXCF

3.1 Unpacking

The PC4204CXCF package should include the following parts:

• One PC4204CXCF circuit board
• One PC4055CR cabinet with space for one 38Ah battery
• Five plastic standoffs
• 16VAC, 80VA transformer

3.2 Mounting

The PC4204CXCF should be located inside the PC4055CR cabinet,
mounted in a dry, secure location.

3.3 Installation and Wiring

NOTE: 

The PC4204CXCF is intended to be PERMANENTLY

CONNECTED and should be installed by service personnel only.

Before beginning to wire the unit, ensure that all power (AC
transformer and battery) is disconnected from the control panel.
Perform the following steps to complete wiring:

1. Connect the four panel-originating Combus wires to the

PC4204CXCF. Connect the red, black, yellow and green Combus
wires to the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN Combus In terminals,
respectively.

If Relay 1 is being used for Combus power, connect the Combus
wires according to the diagram below. Note that for this option,
jumper Con3 must also be set for “Repower Relay 1.”

Additional modules repowered by the PC4204CXCF should have
the black, yellow and green Combus wires connected to the  BLK,
YEL and GRN Combus Out terminals respectively.

2. Complete all output wiring.
3. Connect the external tamper switch, if used.
Consult the wiring diagrams for further information.
