PC4612(A) Zone Annunciator

Installation Instructions

1. Introduction

The PC4612(A) is a 12-zone annunciator for use with PC4010/PC4020
security systems. You can install a combined total of 9 PC4612(A) and
PC4216 modules on each PC4010/4020 system.

2. Specifications

• Style PC4612 or PC4612A available
• 16 programmable LEDs
• Four wire (QUAD) hook-up to Combus
• Nominal current draw of 15mA
• Tamper and trouble reporting
• Supervision by control panel via Combus

3. Installation

Connect the PC4612(A) to the panel via the Combus. Be sure to in-
clude the current draw of the PC4612(A) (15mA) in your Combus cur-
rent calculation. Refer to your PC4010/4020 Installation Manual for
more information on Combus wiring.

4. Enrolling and Programming the PC4612(A)

Follow the instructions below for enrolling and programming your
PC4612(A) module. If you are enrolling the module on a PC4010/4020
v3.0 or greater system, you can use the reference numbers (indicated
by the square brackets, eg. [0200]) to jump to a programming section.
Refer to your system's installation or programming manual for more
information on programming.

4.1 Enrolling

You must enroll the PC4612(A) module with your panel before you
can program it. The PC4612(A) is enrolled exactly as if it were a
PC4216 module. Follow these steps:

1. At a PC4010/4020 system LCD keypad, enter Installer's Program-

ming ([*][8][Installer’s code]).

2. Enter Ref #[0200][*] OR scroll to Module Hardware, press [*], 

then, scroll to Enroll Module, press [*].

3. Scroll to PC4216 Module, press [*]. The LCD keypad displays 

Create Tamper on Desired Unit.

4. Tamper and then restore the PC4612(A):

a) Remove the screws on the bottom of the unit.
b) Pull the front plastic of the unit approximately 

Ό

" away from 

the backplate.
c) Replace the front of the unit and the screws in their original 
locations. 

The LCD keypad displays PC4216 Mod 01 Enrolled.

5. Record the module number in the worksheet area on the back of 

this instruction sheet.

6. To exit Module Enrollment, press [#].

4.2 Programming

On the PC4612(A), each of the 16 outputs controls a particular LED. Out-
puts 1-12 control the LEDs which light up numbers 1-12 on the Annun-
ciator. Outputs 13-16 control the LEDs which light up the Zone Trouble,
Bell Trouble, System Trouble and AC On indicators, respectively.

A Custom Group is a set of 16 programming choices which correspond
to the 16 programmable outputs on each PC4612(A) module. Each
LED will function according to the programming of its output in the
assigned custom group.

To program the PC4612(A), you need to assign a custom group to the
module, and to make sure that the outputs of the assigned custom
group are programmed appropriately. Example: the PC4612(A) is as-
signed to custom group (01). In this custom group, output (05) is pro-
grammed to follow zone

(020), which is a fire zone. This was done by programming output (05)
for option (22) zone follow. When zone (020) is in alarm, LED 5 turns
on. When zone (020) is restored and a fire reset is performed, LED 5
turns off.

The PC4612(A) uses the same programming as the PC4216, and is
therefore done in the same programming sections. These sections are
described below as they relate to the PC4612(A). For instructions on
how to program the PC4010/4020 and its modules, refer to your
PC4010/4020 Installation Manual. For information on programming
PC4216 modules, refer to your PC4216 Installation Instructions.

1. Choose a Custom Group

Ref #: [000703XX] where XX = 01-09 (PC4612(A) number) Program
each PC4612(A) to use one of nine custom groups. More than one mod-
ule may follow the same custom group. Enter the number of the custom
group the PC4612(A) will follow (enter 01-09). To exit, press [#].

2. Program a Custom Group

Ref #: [000704XX] where XX = 01-09 (Custom Group 01-09) A cus-
tom group is a set of 16 programmed output options. Each output in a
custom group can be programmed to operate according to a different
output option.

1. Choose the output to be programmed (01-16)

2. Enter the number of the output option to be used for that output.
3. To exit, press [#].
