Relay Basics
Relays, used in conjunction with this control panel, are programmable switches that can be
used to perform many different functions. They can be used to turn lights on and off, control
sounders and doors, or for status indications. In this system, each device must be
programmed as to how to act (ACTION), when to activate (START), and when to deactivate
(STOP). Each of these is described in Relay Programming in #93 Menu Mode Programming
section of the Quick Start Guide.
This control supports up to four 4204 or eight 4204CF Relay Modules. Each 4204 Module
provides 4 relays with Form C (normally-open and normally-closed) contacts. This means
you can program up to 16 relays to activate and de-activate, as desired. Each 4204CF
Module adds two additional style-Y supervised bell outputs to the system. If 4204CF
Modules are used, only relays 1 and 3 on each module can be programmed. The other 2
relays (relays 2 and 4) on each module are used for supervision purposes.
This section is used to program relays to activate in response to a programmed condition (i.e.,
an alarm, fault of a zone, etc.). The system can also be programmed to activate relays at specific
times of day by using the #80 Scheduling Menu Mode–Time Driven Events function.
Wiring the 4204 and 4204CF Relay Modules
1. Set the 4204 or 4204CF's DIP switches for a device address between 01 and 15 that is not
being used by another device (keypads, RF receivers, etc.).
The relay module will not operate until the device address you have chosen is enabled in the
control's Device Programming in #93 Menu Mode Programming section of the Quick Start Guide .
2. Mount the 4204 and 4204CF Modules as per the instructions provided with these
modules. Connect the 4204/4204CF Module(s) to the control's Keypad 1 terminals (11-
14) when mounted remotely from the control (they may be wired to Port 2 when mounted
on or within the control's cabinet). Use the flying lead cable or the screw terminals
provided with each relay module to make connections.
