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 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). See "Important Information Regarding Zone Input Options" later in this section.
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.

4204 Relay Outputs map to communicator zones as follows:
First 4204 Zones
(device address entered in Prompt 14):
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 (armed) trigger zone.
When using the communicator in 4204 Emulation Mode, DO NOT enable the communicator
(or LRR) in control panel programming. Instead, enable 4204 relay module 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 communicator to generate an alarm
and NOT a restore, even if the communicator 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 communicator detects no activity on its connec-
tion to the control panel. The message is: 5555 5515 5; restore message is: 5555 5535 5.
Refer to Table 3-4 for 4204 Emulation Mode programming and follow the prompts that
pertain to 4204 or Two-4204 mode. A check mark (

Second 4204 Zones
(device address entered in Prompt 14, 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 (armed) trigger zone or if
tamper reporting is enabled.
