4204 Emulation Mode; 4204 Emulation Mode Options - Honeywell AlarmNet 7845GSM Installation And Setup Manual

7845GSM/7845GSMCN Installation and Setup Guide
When using Zone Trigger mode, messages are sent in ADEMCO High-Speed format.
Zones 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are voltage trigger inputs located on TB1 pins 6-10. If the Lynx Panic
feature is being used, do not connect zone 3 (the second physical zone input).
Refer to Table 5 for Zone Trigger Mode programming and follow the prompts that pertain to
Zone Trigger Mode.

4204 Emulation Mode

In 4204 Emulation Mode, the 7845GSM communicates with a compatible Honeywell VISTA
series or First Alert control panel as though it were a 4204 Relay Module. If two 4204s are
enabled in the module, it acts as two 4204s at consecutive device addresses. The control
panel must be configured to recognize one or two 4204 relay modules accordingly.
VISTA-32FB (or higher) control panels and First Alert equivalents, addresses 6 and 13
should not be used when the secondary 4204 is enabled. Messages are sent in ADEMCO
High-Speed format.
NOTE: See your control panel Installation and Setup Guide for the number of 4204 modules
supported. The LynxR-I does not support 4204 mode.

4204 Emulation Mode Options

For control panels that do not support LRR-ECP communication, the 4204 Emulation modes
provide a means of sending up to eight unique reports based on defined system conditions. In
4204 mode, the 7845GSM functions as a logical 4204 Relay Module, where each relay
number, referred to in the module as zone number, can be programmed to send a report
based on the output function programmed in the control for that relay. Each relay-zone can
also be programmed to send a restore message of the reported condition, can be set to delay
transmission of messages, and can be programmed to send reports only when a conditional
zone is triggered (armed), (see Zone Input Options later in this section).
In single 4204 mode, the 7845GSM supports up to four relay-zones. In Two-4204 mode, the
7845GSM functions as two 4204 modules, supporting up to eight relay-zones.
4204 Relay Outputs map to 7845GSM zones as follows:
First 4204 Zones
(device address entered in Prompt 13):
Relay 1 = Zone 1
Relay 2 = Zone 2
Relay 3 = Zone 3
Relay 4 = Zone 4 or conditional zone trigger if
"report only if armed" is selected in any zone 1-3
when using single 4204 mode.
NOTE: Zone 4 status is not reported when
being used as the conditional (arming) trigger
zone.
When using the 7845GSM in 4204 Emulation Mode, DO NOT enable the Long-Range Radio
module reporting in the control panel programming. Instead, enable the module device
address(es) and program the appropriate relay activation functions for the relay-zones being
used. In some control panels, it is called "relay programming" and in others it is called "output
device programming." It is recommended that "close and stay closed" (usually choice 2) action
is selected. Selection of momentary activation will cause the 7845GSM to generate an alarm
and NOT a restore, even if the 7845GSM is programmed to send a restore for the given zone.
In 4204 mode, messages are reported in ADEMCO High-Speed format. Zone alarms
(status 7) are reported with "1" (alarm) or "3" (restore) displayed in the zone position for the
respective zone (e.g. alarm on zone 2: 5155 5555 7; restore 5355 5555 7). A supervision fault
trouble message is automatically sent if the module detects no activity on its connection to
the control. The message is: 5555 5515 5; restore message is: 5555 5535 5.

Second 4204 Zones
(device address entered in Prompt 13, plus 1):
Relay 1 = Zone 5
Relay 2 = Zone 6
Relay 3 = Zone 7
Relay 4 = Zone 8 or conditional zone trigger if
"report only if armed" is selected in any
zone 1-7 when using Two-4204 mode.
NOTE: Zone 8 status is not reported when being
used as the conditional (arming) trigger zone or if
tamper reporting is enabled.
