Programming Conventions

Programming is accomplished by answering a series of prompts. Most prompts require only a [Y]es or [N]o
•
response, while others require a numerical response (ID numbers, etc.).
The current value is displayed on the second line in parentheses ( ). A "?" indicates an invalid entry.
•
Use the [] key to scroll through options.
•
Use the [ENTER] key to accept the current entry and proceed to the next prompt. If the entered value is invalid,
•
pressing [ENTER] re-displays the prompt; the next prompt is not displayed until a valid answer is entered.
Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through the programming prompts without changing any values.
•
Press the [ESC] key to go to the end of the list of prompts.

Using the Control Panel

Some control panels support programming of the communicator through the control panel programming mode. If using
this method of programming, only the ECP Mode programming options are available. Other "mode" prompts will not be
displayed, and the mode cannot be changed. For a description of key functions on the control panel keypad, and how they
map to the 7720P programming tool, refer to the control panel's Programming Guide.

Programming for ECP Mode

The communicator supports ECP messaging to communicate with the control panel. Likewise the control panel sends
Contact ID format alarms to the communicator via the ECP bus. Not all control panels support the communicator
interface on ECP, so be sure to check the control panel's Installation and Setup Guide to see if it supports this feature.
Press the [ENTER] key to begin programming.
NOTE: The central station can remotely block access to local device
programming. If this has been done, prompt on the right appears.
The default programming values for each prompt are shown in parentheses in the PROMPTS column. Further, the
"Programming Options" table (next page) shows all the prompts for this programming mode. Depending on your answers,
unnecessary prompts will be bypassed and you will advance to the next appropriate prompt.

Programming for 4204 and Two-4204 Emulation Modes

In this mode the communicator emulates a 4204 module (or two) and appears to the control panel as a 4204 module. If
two 4204s are enabled in the communicator, it acts as two 4204s using consecutive device addresses.
The compatible Honeywell VISTA series or First Alert control panel sends data (triggers) to the communicator as if it were
a 4204 module. (The control panel must be configured to recognize one or two 4204 relay modules accordingly.) On
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.
See your control panel Installation and Setup Guide for the number of 4204 modules supported.

4204 Emulation Mode Options

For control panels that do not support 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 communicator functions as a logical 4204
Relay Module, where each relay number, referred to in the communicator as zone number, can be programmed to send a
report based on the output function programmed in the control panel for that relay. Each relay-zone can also be
programmed to; send a restore message of the reported condition, delay the transmission of messages, and to send reports
only when a conditional zone is triggered (armed).
In single 4204 mode, the communicator supports up to four relay-zones. In Two-4204 mode, the communicator functions
as two 4204 modules, supporting up to eight relay-zones. Refer to the following table.
