Honeywell 4219 Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Use a Honeywell 4219 Zone Expander on a VISTA-50P?
The VISTA-50P is a polling loop alarm panel, and it can only support polling loop zone expanders. It will not support a Honeywell 4219. Learn about the VISTA-50P.
Does a Honeywell 4219 Require a Relay?
The Honeywell 4219 Zone Expander connects directly with a Honeywell VISTA Panel to receive power. No power relay is required for the 4219. Learn more about the Honeywell 4219.
Can I Add My Pre-Installed Wired Sensors to a Security Alarm?
Pre-installed hardwired sensors can be used with a new alarm system. This can save a user a large amount of money when upgrading to a new control panel. If the system is wireless, a wired to wireless converter will be needed. Learn more about using wired sensors with a new alarm system.
How Do I Know if My 4219's DIP Switches Are Turned "On"?
A Honeywell 4219 is used to add eight additional hardwired zones to a Vista panel. Certain DIP switch combinations will assign the hardwired terminals on the 4219 to different zones on the panel. A DIP switch that is facing up is in the "on" position. Learn more about the 4219 zone expander.
What is the Best Wired Security Control Panel?
Users who are looking for a wired security control panel should strongly consider the VISTA-21iP. This system includes all of the functionality of the impressive VISTA-20P, with added IP connectivity. Once paired with a 6160RF keypad, the VISTA-21iP will be ready for almost any basic security use.
What Brand of PIR Motion Can I Use with a VISTA 20P?
The Honeywell VISTA 20P can use any hardwired 12Volt DC passive infrared (PIR) motion detector, and any Honeywell 5800 series wireless motion sensor. Wired motions will require a 4-wire connection to the panel. Wireless motion detectors will require a wireless receiver to be used.
How Many Zones Can a 5881 Medium Board Handle?
The Honeywell 5881ENM medium wireless receiver provides support for up to 16 wireless zones, and it is compatible with all Honeywell Vista control panels.
What is Zone-Doubling on a Honeywell VISTA System?
Zone-doubling is a method of using different value resistors on zones 2 - 8 to allow 7 hardwired zone inputs to behave like 14 separate zones. This is particularly helpful if you need more than 8 hardwired zones, but fewer than 16. Zone 2, doubled, becomes 2 and 10, zone 3 becomes 3 and 11, and so on.
What Is the Valid Address for a 4219?
The address required for a 4219 8-zone hardwired expander depends which panel it will be used with. Keep reading to learn valid addresses for the 4219.
What Field is Device Programming on a VISTA-21iP?
There is no single device programming field on the 21iP. Device programming refers to any device connected to the keypad bus. Learn about device programming.
