Eight Zone Expander
Installation and Setup Guide
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ADEMCO 4208U is a V-Plex
®
eight-zone expander for use
with ADEMCO controls that support V-Plex (polling loop) devices.
Characteristics of this device include:
•Can be optionally powered from the control panel aux. power
supply to reduce the amount of current draw from the polling
loop. NOTE: The 4208U cannot be used with an external
power supply for commercial fire applications.
•Uniquely identifies 8 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.
•Tamper protected.
MOUNTING
!
1. Power should be disconnected before proceeding.
2. Be sure to mount the 4208U before making any wiring
connections.
When mounted remotely, tamper protection is required. Holes on
the back of the module’s housing permit it to be mounted
horizontally or vertically. Wires can exit from the side or the
breakout on the back of the housing. To enable tamper protection,
set DIP Switch 8 to OFF and attach the tamper magnet (provided)
(Figure 1) to the module inside cover. Be sure to enable the
expansion zone tamper option at the control (program field ✼24 =
0). If the module’s cover is removed, the magnet attached to the
cover (positioned near the reed switch) will cause a tamper signal
to be sent to the control for every active zone on the 4208U
module. When the installation is complete, install the cover and
affix the Serial Number and Zone Assignment Tables to the inside
cover of the control.
When mounted inside the cabinet with the control, the 4208U
should be mounted horizontally and does not need tamper
protection, provided the cabinet is supervised. Insert two screws
into the raised metal tabs leaving the heads app. 1/8” exposed,
and then hang the 4208U using the two slots on the back.
WIRING
CE
For CE installations ADEMCO N6361 EMI suppression
bead is required. Refer to the N6361 Installation
Instructions for wire routing instructions.
Polling loop and protection loop wires can be brought in either
through the back or front of the unit by removing the knockouts.
Use 22 gauge twisted pair wire for polling loop connections. All
protection loops use 10k EOL resistors (included). A maximum
resistance of 300 ohms is allowed on protection loops (excluding
EOLR). See Figure 2 for all connections.
Keep in mind that connections to the polling loop are always
required, while power supply connections are optional.
1. INSERT BOTTOM TABS FIRST.
2. ENGAGE TOP WITH CLIP.

DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
Serial Number Mode:
In the serial number mode, the DIP Switches on the 4208U are used
to assign the unit to a group of 8 serial numbers. You can assign any
serial number to any zone number (except hardwire zone numbers of
the control) and you do not lose zone numbers if you don’t use all
eight loops on the 4208U. Follow steps below using Table 2 for DIP
Switch settings.
Zone Assignment Mode:
In the zone assignment mode, the DIP Switches on the 4208U are
used to assign the unit to a group of 8 consecutive zones. These
zone numbers, once designated for the 4208U, cannot be used for
anything else, even if you don’t use all 8. Follow the steps below
using Table 1 for DIP Switch settings.
Note: Zone Assignment Mode should only be used on panels that
DO NOT support Serial Mode.

Set the DIP switches on the 4208U as instructed below (see
Figure 3):
1. Select fast/slow response for loops A and B using DIP Switch
1: Fast = OFF (10msec) Slow = ON (400msec).
2. Select mode of operation (serial number or zone assignment
mode) using DIP Switch 6: Serial Number mode = ON; Zone
Assignment mode = OFF.
3. Select the group setting using DIP Switches 2, 3, 4, and 5.
See Table 1 for zone assignments or Table 2 for serial
number assignments. If using more than one 4208U, be sure
to set each one to a different group setting.
4. DIP Switch 7: Set DIP Switch 7 to “OFF”.
5. Select the 4208U Tamper Protection setting using DIP Switch
8: Tamper Disabled = ON Tamper Enabled = OFF. Tamper
will report for every active zone on the 4208U module.
PROGRAMMING
When setting the 4208U to a group of zone numbers, each zone
must be programmed as follows:
•On ADEMCO 4140XMP and earlier controls, these zones
must be programmed as Left Loop Polling Loop Zones.
•On ADEMCO VISTA-40 and later controls, these zones must
be programmed in the #93 Menu Mode Zone Programming as
INPUT TYPE “7” -- DIP Switch type polling device (DP).
When setting the 4208U to a group of serial numbers, each zone
must be programmed as INPUT TYPE “6” --SL (Serial Number
Polling Loop Device). Loops can be learned in any order and
assigned to any legitimate zone number.
When prompted to learn the serial number for a particular zone,
you may either enter it manually through the keypad, through
COMPASS Downloader, or “learn” it by momentarily faulting
(shorting) the terminals of that zone as required by the control. If
entering a serial number manually through the keypad, enter it and
press “✼” to advance to the next prompt, which will ask you for the
loop number. Entering a “1” for each serial number entered.
If learning or entering a serial number, “Duplicate of Zone XX”
Duplicate of Zone XX” is displayed; another device with that same
serial number is already in the system. In that case, use a
different serial number group setting on the 4208U.
!
If learning a serial number by faulting its
associated loop, make sure that other V-Plex
devices are no
t activated, as they may interfere
with the device being learned.
VERIFICATION OF PROGRAMMING
To verify proper programming, the following test should be
performed:
1. Be sure to enable expansion zone tamper protection at the
control (program field ✼24 = 0).
2. Set DIP Switch 8 to OFF (tamper enabled).
3. Replace the 4208U cover and clear the keypad of any faulted
zones.
4. Remove the 4208U’s cover and verify (on the keypad) that
only the zones you designated for this 4208U are indicating a
check (or trouble) condition.

TO THE INSTALLER
Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by the installer and frequent testing by the user are vital to continuous satisfactory operation of
any alarm system. The installer should assume the responsibility of developing and offering a regular maintenance program to the user, as well as
acquainting the user with the proper operation and limitations of the alarm system and its component parts. Recommendations must be included for a
specific program of frequent testing (at least weekly) to insure the system’s operation at all times.
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION STATEMENTS
The user shall not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless authorized by the Installation Instructions or User's
Manual. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
FCC CLASS B STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested to FCC requirements and has been found acceptable for use. The FCC requires the following
statement for your information:
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• If using an indoor antenna, have a quality outdoor antenna installed.
• Reorient the receiving antenna until interference is reduced or eliminated.
• Move the radio or television receiver away from the receiver/control.
• Move the antenna leads away from any wire runs to the receiver/control.
• Plug the receiver/control into a different outlet so that it and the radio or television receiver are on different branch circuits.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
