Installing Output Devices - Honeywell VISTA-250FBPT Installation And Setup Manual

Installing Output Devices

The VISTA-128FBPT/VISTA-250FBPT supports up to 96 outputs. Each device must be programmed as to how to act
(ACTION), when to activate (START), and when to deactivate (STOP). The 4204, 4204CF, and/or 4101SN may be used
as output devices.
NOTE: The first 32 of the 96 Output Devices may be supervised (zones 601-632). Only the relays on 4204CF
module may be supervised. If supervision is programmed for other types of Output Devices, unpredictable
results may occur.
Installing the 4204 (Burg and Aux Fire Functions) and 4204CF Relay Modules
Each 4204 module provides 4 relays with Form C (normally open and normally closed) contacts. Each 4204CF module
adds two style-Y supervised Notification Appliance Circuits to the system. For 4204CF modules, only relays 1 or 3 on
each module can be programmed.
4204 and 4204CF relays may be used to trigger auxiliary fire functions such as air handler shutdown, elevator recall,
door-holder release, sound system shutdown, etc.
The relay module will not operate until the device address you have set the DIP switches for is enabled in the
control's Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode.
• Relays should not re-energize until the panel is fully reset.
U L
• For Commercial Fire installations, only one notification appliance module may be used, and only one
notification appliance output (A or B) may be used on that module in a single audible/visual area.
• If the 4204CF relay is enabled for a NAC, it must follow the action of the NAC on the panel.
• Relays (aux and 4204's) cannot be used for off-premises signaling
• In Commercial Fire installations, the 4204CF cannot be used to drive sounders in the same physical area as
sounders connected to the alarm outputs of the control panel.
• Output devices are not intended for overriding automatic building and fire functions.
To install the relay modules, see Figures 3-19 and 3-20 and perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Set the 4204 or 4204CF's DIP switches for a device address 01-15.
Do not use an address being used by another device (keypads, RF receivers, etc.).
2 Mount the 4204 and 4204CF modules per the instructions provided with them.
3 Connect the module's wire harness to the control (11, 12, 13 and 14). Plug the connector on the harness to
the module.
When mounting remotely, homerun each module to the control. The table below shows the maximum wire
run lengths. Refer to the instructions provided with the 4204CF for its maximum permissible wire lengths.
