RELAY OUTPUTS & POWERLINE CARRIER DEVICES
General Information
4204 Relay Module
4300 Transformer &
XÐ10 Devices
Section 6.
The VISTA-40 supports up to 8 relay outputs. These outputs may consist of relay
outputs from the 4204 output relay module (4 relay outputs per module) or X-10
device outputs. Outputs can be activated and deactivated by predetermined
events such as turning on lights in the event of an alarm condition and/or closing
a fire door in the event of a fire alarm condition. Refer to ÒRelay ProgrammingÓ in
Section 4 of PART 2. PROGRAMMING PROCEDURES for instructions on
programming relay options.
There are many different uses for relays, some of which are shown at the end of
this section.
The 4204 Relay Module has 4 form C (normally open and normally closed
contacts) relays. Each relay can be used independently for different functions.
The 4204 is wired to the control's keypad terminals 6-9. Use standard 4-
conductor twisted cable (for long wire runs) or the connector supplied with the
4204. Each 4204 should be home run back to the panel. The maximum wire run
length from the panel to the 4204 must not exceed:
Wire Gauge
#22
#20
#18
#16
The 4204's DIP switch must be set for a device address and that address must be
enabled in the control's Device Programming mode.
Program the output relays using the control's *93 Menu Mode. Refer to ÒRelay
ProgrammingÓ in Section 4 of PART 2. PROGRAMMING PROCEDURES for
details.
When using X-10 devices, the 4300 transformer must be used instead of the
1361 transformer shown on the Summary of Connections diagram. The 4300
provides AC power to the panel and relays signals from the panel through the
premises AC wiring to X-10 devices.
Run a 6-conductor cable between the 4300 interface and the panel. Splice this
cable to a 4142TR cable as shown in the diagram below. Note that the white and
yellow wires of the 4142TR must be spliced together.
X-10 devices plug into standard AC outlets and can be used to perform various
functions. Be sure to set the proper house and unit IDs when using X-10 devices.
UL NOTE: X-10 devices and the 4300 are not UL Listed for fire or
burglary functions and are intended only for home automation.
