The Honeywell 4208U is a zone expander module adds up to eight (8) normally closed or eight end-of-line resistor supervised zones to compatible control/communicators that support V-Plex loop devices. The 4208U is recommended for commercial systems (e.g. VISTA 50P, VISTA 128BPT and VISTA 250BPT) when deploying conventional detectors in an ECP zone expandable system.
The 4208U wired expander is ideal for expanding existing hardwired installations without needing to change out the existing alarm control panel. The 4208U is a great addition to any compatible Honeywell wired security system or Honeywell hybrid security system. It is housed in a white plastic case for wall mounting and can be mounted in a universal alarm can.
The 4208U expansion module may be mounted within the control's cabinet (if room permits), or remotely. If the 4208U is remotely mounted, there are provisions that tamper protect the unit so that it cannot be disconnected from the control panel wiring without detection by the Honeywell security system. Communication to the module is supervised so that it cannot be disconnected from the keypad wiring without detection by the control. If the wiring is cut, a tamper alarm or signal will result, to indicate that this device (and possibly other similarly connected devices) has become inoperative.
Product Features:
Can be used on controls that support up to 250 zones
Can be optionally powered from an external DC power supply to reduce the amount of current draw from the polling loop
Uniquely identifies eight EOLR supervised zones (all zones use 10K resistors, supplied)
DIP Switches can be used to set zone numbers or serial numbers
When used in the serial number mode, each serial number in the selected group can be assigned to any zone number
Loops A & B can be programmed for fast (10msec) response
Provides cover tamper protection, which may be enabled or disabled via on-board DIP Switches
