Relay/Powerline Carner Device Basics
Relays and Powerline Carrier devices (ex. X-10 brand devices) are
programmable switches that can be used to perform many different fbnctions.
They can be used to turn lights on and off, control sounders, 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 below, and in the programming procedure for *8O
and *81 interactive modes that are provided at the end of this section.
The control supports a total of 8 output devices in the following
configurations:
" One 4204 relay module (4 relays) and 4 Powerline Carrier devices.
One 4229 zone/relay module (2 relays) and 6 Powerline Carrier devices.
Up to 8 Powerline Carrier devices (8 minus the number of output relays
used).
The 4204 and 4229 modules provide Form C (normally open and normally
closed) contacts. Powerline Carrier devices are controlled by, signals sent
through the electrical wiring at the premises via a 4300 transformer.
Therefore, if using Powerline Carrier Devices, a 4300 transformer must be
used in place of the regular system transformer.
In *8O and *81 interactive modes, a series of keypad prompts will request
entries for programming of the Relay outputs and/or Powerline Carrier
devices used in the system. Refer also to "OUTPUT REIAYS/POWERLINE
CARRIER DEVICES WORKSHEET FOR *8O AND *81 INTERACTIVE
MODES" in the blank progmunming form.
4204 and 4229 Relay Modules
4204/4229 -p
The 4204 or 4229 unit can be mounted either remotely or in the control panel.
The following steps should be taken to properly setup the 4204 or 4229:
1.
2.
3.
Connect the 4204/4229 to the control's Partition 1 remote keypad
terminals (4-7), using the connector supplied with the 4204 and 4229.
Use standard 4-conductor twisted cable for long wiring runs. See Figures
11 and 12.
Set the 4204/4229's DIP switch for a device address of "l" (switch 2
"OFF" and switches 3, 4, 5 "ON"). Switch 1 determines the unit's cover
tamper response ("ON" = disabled, "0~ = enabled).
Connect the desired field wiring to the unit's relay contact terminals.
Supervision
4204 and 4229 modules are supervised against removal. CHECK and
zone 09 will be displayed if a module is disconnected from the control's
terminals (4, 5,6, & 7).
