Important Installation Highlights (Installer Please Read)
• This system uses addressable keypads and Zone Expander Modules (see Table of Addresses in
Section 2. Mounting and Wiring – Wiring the Keypads and Other Addressable Devices).
• Keypads must be set for addresses 16-23 (first keypad is address 16, which is different from
previous controls) and programmed in data fields *190-*196.
• Zone Expander Modules must be set for specific addresses (07-11), based on the zone numbers used.
• 4204 Relay Modules must be set for specific addresses (12-15).
• This control will not power-up unless AC power is connected (will not power-up on battery alone).
However, once the system is powered up, it will operate on battery power in the event of AC loss.
• Relays have two programming menu modes: Use *79 Menu mode to map module addresses and
device (output) numbers. Use *80 Menu mode to define the output functions.
• This system supports programmable function keys. Use *57 Menu mode to define the function
keys.
• This system provides various paging features. Refer to the Programming Overview section for a
summary on pager programming.
