RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTION
The Following Recommendations for the Location of Fire and Burglary Detection Devices
Help Provide Proper Coverage for the Protected Premises.
Recommendations For Smoke And Heat Detectors
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations
contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms
and areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detector should be installed
outside of each separate sleeping area, and on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit,
including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in
garages is not normally recommended.
For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living
room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms,
basements and attached garages.
In addition, we recommend the following:
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly or
completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside
may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.

• Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms
where electrical appliances (such as
portable heaters, air conditioners or
humidifiers) are used.
• Install a smoke detector at both ends of a
hallway if the hallway is more than 40
feet (12 meters) long.
• Install smoke detectors in any room where
an alarm control is located, or in any room
where alarm control connections to an AC
source or phone lines are made. If
detectors are not so located, a fire within
the room could prevent the control from
reporting a fire or an intrusion.
THIS CONTROL COMPLIES WITH NFPA
REQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPORAL PULSE
SOUNDING OF FIRE NOTIFICATION
APPLIANCES.
Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or
commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in
a multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can
still be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm
signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).

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 – Connecting 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

at left for the correct battery size required to meet the mandatory standby time.
Battery Saver Feature
The battery will disconnect from the system after its voltage decreases below 9VDC.
This assists the control panel in recharging the battery when AC is restored.
IMPORTANT: The panel will not power up initially on battery power only. You must
plug the transformer in first, and then connect the battery.

not normally require an earth ground.
•If an earth ground is desired for additional protection in areas of severe electrical
activity, terminal 25 on the control board, or the cabinet, may be used as the ground
connection point. The following are examples of good earth grounds available at most
installations.
Metal Cold Water Pipe: Use a non-corrosive metal strap (copper is recommended) firmly
secured to the pipe to which the ground lead is electrically connected and secured.
AC Power Outlet Ground: Available from 3-prong, 120VAC power outlets only. To test
the integrity of the ground terminal, use a 3-wire circuit tester with neon lamp

e
last sounder. See Figure 5.
Bell Supervision Note: The value of the Bell Supervision EOL Resistor is 820 ohms.
High Impedance Device Note: If a high impedance sounding device is used (ex.
745X3), the bell supervision resistor (included) must be installed at the device.
2. Set field ∗91 Option Selection for Bell Supervision (option 1).
This control complies with NFPA requirements for temporal pulse sounding of fire notification
appliances. Temporal pulse sounding for a fire alarm consists of: 3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses –
pause – 3 pulses–etc..
UL
•Use only UL Listed sounding devices for
UL installations.
•Bell supervision is required for fire alarm
installations.
•The total current drawn from the alarm

100mA) to any zone from 2-8 as shown in Figure 9a and 9b (on next page).
Power Reset: This control does not automatically reset power to 4-wire smoke
detector zones, so you must use a relay (e.g., 4204, 4229), or on-board trigger to reset
power (also required for fire verification). Do this by programming the designated
relay/trigger as zone type 54 (fire zone reset); see On-Board Trigger section for
other information.
NOTE: Maximum current on trigger 17 is 100mA.

Smoke Detector Notes •
••
•Fire Verification (zone type 16): The control panel will “verify” a fire alarm by
resetting the smoke detectors after the first alarm trigger, and then waiting up to 90
seconds for a second alarm trigger. If the smoke detector or thermostat does not trigger
again, the control will disregard the first trigger, and no alarm signal will occur. This
feature eliminates false alarms due to electrical or physical transients.
SIA Installations: If using fire verification on zones other than zone 1, UL Fire Alarm
Listed relay accessories must be used to reset power as described in the Power Reset
paragraph above.
•The zone 1 alarm current supports only one smoke detector in the alarmed state.
•
••
•Clean Me Option: If enabled (field *174 = 1; *56 zone programming, response time
prompt = 3), certain ESL smoke detectors send “clean me” reports as appropriate. If
used, the maximum number of detectors is reduced to 10 (not standard 16). Refer to the
ESL documentation included with the smoke detector for information regarding
compatibility with the clean-me option.
•Do not use 4-wire smoke detectors on zone 1.

Powerline Carrier
Devices
ULPowerline Carrier
devices and the 1361X10
Transformer are not UL
Listed for fire or burglary
functions and are intended
for home automation.
1. Install the powerline carrier devices according to the instructions included with each.
•Up to 16 devices (if no relays are used)
2. Use Programming Mode to enter the device house ID in data field*27, and enter the
unit code using *79 Output Device menu Mode.
3. See connections diagram in the AC Wiring section for connecting the 1361X10
transformer to the triggers.
•You must use a 1361X10 Transformer instead of the 1361 Transformer.
•The 1361X10 Transformer provides AC power to the control panel, and also supplies
signals from the control panel through the premises AC wiring to the Powerline
Carrier devices (which are plugged into AC outlets). You can then make devices that
are plugged into Powerline Carrier devices perform various functions in response to
commands you enter at the security system keypads.

•Trigger outputs are normally high, and go low upon programmed condition.
•The outputs can be programmed for inverted operation (normally low, go high) using
*79 Menu mode.
•Program these triggers using *80/*81 Menu modes as you would for any other relay
output.
•When using these outputs, note:
pin 1 = output number 17 (trigger 1):
15 ohms to ground when closed (output low), open when off (output high,
normal default); can be used to reset smoke detector power (must set
“output normal low = yes” in *79 Menu mode, and set for zone type 54, fire
zone reset, in *80 Menu mode); or can support 12V relay module (e.g.,
Altronix AX-RBS) that draws less than 100mA
pin 5 = output number 18 (trigger 2):
100 ohms to ground when closed (output low); open when off (output high,
normal default); or can support 12V relay module that draws less than
20mA
ULIf on-board triggers are used, the wiring between the control unit and the UL Listed device must
be run in conduit, be no more than 3 feet apart, and have no intervening barriers or walls.

Figure 16. 4286 Phone Module Wiring Connections
•Only one phone module can be used and it can only be connected to partition 1.
•The phone lines must be in service for the phone module to function, even when
accessing the system from an on-premises phone.
•If you are also using an Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) unit, refer to Audio Alarm
Verification (AAV) section for special wiring connections.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication
line cord for phone line connections.
Phone Module Problems If no touch tones are produced following access to the security system from on-premises
(this problem may arise in rare cases), it may be necessary to reverse the wires connected
to terminals 3 and 4 on the phone module and the wires connected to terminals (21) &
(22) on the control. The wiring diagram shows the wiring connections that will provide
proper operation in most cases.
Connection to the incoming telco line via a RJ31X jack and direct-connect cord, as shown,
is essential, even if the system is not connected to a central station. The 4286 will not
function if this is not done and an error signal (fast busy signal) will occur when trying to
access the system via the phone.
The house phone lines (gray and brown wires) must be wired to the phone module
terminals; not to the control terminals. Otherwise, an error signal (fast busy signal) will
occur when trying to access the system from an on-premises phone.
