INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE


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

The 4204 can be mounted inside the control’s cabinet
or mounted remotely.

If mounted remotely, the 4204 has a built-in tamper
switch that 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 that do not support cover
tamper or supervise communications wiring to the
4204, mount the 4204 inside the control’s cabinet.

When used with controls that support cover tamper
and supervise communications wiring to the 4204,
mount the 4204 may either be mounted inside the
control’s 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 1/8”. Hang the 4204 on the screw
heads via two of the slotted holes on the back of its
housing. The 4204’s cover need not, in this case, be
tamper-protected. If the DIP switch is set with its
position 1 “ON” (see the table below), the cover can be
left off.
See the control
’
s instructions for additional
information.
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
“
OFF
”
and when the installation is completed,
the unit
’
s 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 identify the 4204 and communicate with
it properly.
The address to the 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
“
0
”
.

Connections to the 4204
’
s four relays are made via 12-
position terminal block TB2.
Refer to the control
’
s
installation instructions for specific information on how
to program the control
’
s various activation options for
the relays.

Connection 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.
