No. 4204 RELAY MODULE

G

ENERAL INFORMATION

The 4204 Relay Module adds from one to four dry, form C
(SPDT) relay outputs to compatible control/communicators. It
interfaces to the controlÕs keypad wiring.

The 4204 can be mounted inside the controlÕs cabinet or
mounted remotely.
If mounted remotely, the 4204 has two forms of protection.
First, the 4204 has a built-in tamper switch which allows it to
detect and report the removal of its cover to the control.
Second, communication to the 4204 is supervised so that it
cannot be disconnected from the keypad wiring without
detection by the control. If the wiring is cut, a tamper or alarm
signal will result, to indicate that this device (and possibly
other devices connected to the keypad wiring) has become
inoperative.

INSTALLATION

For UL Installations:

When used with controls which do not support cover
tamper or supervise communications wiring to the 4204,

mount the 4204 inside the controlÕs cabinet.

When used with controls which support cover tamper
and supervise communications wiring to the 4204

, the

4204 may either be mounted inside the controlÕs cabinet
or mounted remotely.

When mounted inside the control’s cabinet

, some controls

allow the 4204 to be mounted horizontally as follows: insert
the self-tapping screws (provided) in two adjacent raised
tabs on the back of the cabinet. Leave the heads projecting
1/8Ó. Hang the 4204 on the screw heads via two of the slot-
ted holes on the back of its housing. The 4204Õs cover need
not, in this case, be tamper-protected. If the DIP switch is set
with its position 1 ÒONÓ (see the table below), the cover can
be left off. 

See the control’s instructions for additional infor-

mation.

When the 4204 is mounted remotely

, holes on its back

permit it to be mounted horizontally or vertically. Wires can exit
from the side or via the breakout on the back of its housing.
The DIP switch must be set with its position 1 ÒOFFÓ and when
the installation is completed, the unitÕs tamper-protected cover
must be replaced.

Affix the connections label 

that accompanies the 4204 to the

inside of the 

4204’s

cover (if the cover is used) or to the inside

of the 

control’s

cover.

CONNECTIONS AND SETTINGS

Select and set an address for the 4204,

using its DIP switch

as shown in the table below. Each 4204 used with the control
must be assigned a unique address so the control can identi-
fy the 4204 and communicate with it properly. 

The address to

be set is determined by the particular control to be used, and
the control’s installation instructions must be consulted. 

As

shipped, the DIP switch is set for an address of Ò0Ó.

Connections to the 4204’s four relays are made via 12-posi-
tion terminal block TB2. 

Refer to the controlÕs installation

instructions for specific information on how to program the
controlÕs various activation options for the relays.

Connections to the control’s keypad wiring points

can be

made via 4-position terminal block TB1, the 4-pin plug, or both
(wire color connections are the same). See the diagram on the
other side of this page.
