Section 1: Introduction
The Model 4724 Control Expander is a UL Listed, plug-on unit that provides greatly enhanced
software features, event storage memory, and user-friendly operation for the Model 4720 Con-
trol/Communicator. The 4724 replaces the control microprocessor on the 4720 (or on the obso-
lete Model 4721 Area Control Software). It allows full use of up to two zone expanders for a
system maximum of 144 zones.
The 4724 supports the Model 4181 (PL513) Power Line Control Interface, which controls X-
10 Modules at various locations. These X-10 Modules make it possible to automatically turn
lamps and other appliances on and off at preprogrammed times or as the result of system sta-
tus.
The Model 4724 hardware is powered by the 4720 hardware and supports the same expansion
devices as the 4720. The 4724 can be added to existing 4720 (or 4721) installations.
1.1 Features
■Support of up to 128 expansion zones that have all the same options as internal zones.
■Each touchpad panic zone is a separate zone, adding 45 more zones.
■Ability to report up to 256 user codes (or cards), which are programmable to allow con-
trol of selected functions.
■Secondary user code (Code 2) option allows codes to be enabled temporarily for system
users, such as guests and baby-sitters.
■High-security code option that requires selected system users to enter a second code to
gain access to restricted areas.
■32 time windows for programming time restrictions and automatic arming and disarm-
ing times. Time windows can also be used to activate X-10 or 4180 auxiliary outputs.
■Holiday schedule can be programmed for 16 holiday dates.
■Two dates can be supplied to adjust automatically for daylight savings time.
■Event memory that stores at least the last 500 events, including alarms, troubles,
bypasses, restores, openings, closings, and tests.
■Use of both door/card access and intercom/phone modules on the same installation.
Each station is selected for either door or intercom operation.
■Enhanced access control features, such as separate door access and door left open tim-
ers for each door.
■Control of up to 32 standard X-10 Power Line Control Interface Modules. Outputs can
be activated by time events, zone status, alarms, touchpads, or virtually any internal
condition or combination of conditions. Support of two Model 4180 Status Display
Modules, for a total of 32 outputs that can be programmed to annunciate status condi-
tions, such as armed, alarm, trouble, and tests. Built-in programmer with English-lan-
guage prompts.
■Fully programmable using built-in programmer or Model 5540 Downloading Software.
■Enhanced split system (area control) capability, allowing separate control of system
functions in up to eight different areas of the building.

Section 2: UL Requirements
1. The RINGBACK @ CLOSE option must be selected for all commercial burglary applica-
tions.
2. The audible alarm must be placed where it can be heard by all partitions. A fire audible
alarm device shall be installed indoors in accordance with NFPA 74 and 72 Proprietary
Protective Signaling Systems. This may result in separate audible alarms, for fire and bur-
glary alarm signals.
NOTE An indoor/outdoor signaling device can be used if it gives different signals for fire and bur-
glary alarms.
3. For commercial burglary alarm units, the audible device must be installed where the audi-
ble test (BELL TEST @ ARM) can be heard by all system users in all partitions. If off
premises transmissions are used, the audible device can be installed inside the protected
premises.
4. For commercial burglary alarm units, the control panel and the audible device power sup-
ply must be protected by a 24 hour tamper switch and a lined housing, or they must be
enclosed in a protected area that is armed 24 hours a day. The tamper switches or pro-
tected area must be programmed as “not bypassable.”
5. For UL approved installations, the Regency Supervised Siren Module must be wired to the
4724. To warn of a fire, the module provides a UL temporal-three siren that uses three dis-
tinctive, repeating short beeps. The module converts the panel’s non-supervised, steady
fire cadence to a supervised, temporal-three fire cadence. This module also provides a dis-
tinctive supervised burglary (police) siren. See Figure 1 for details on wiring the module
to the 4724. For additional information, see the Regency Supervised Siren Module Instal-
lation Instructions (P/N 466-1584).

Section 3: Installation
NOTE 1. The 4724 is for use with the 4720 Revision M (and earlier) circuit boards; the 4724-2 is for
use with the 4720 Revision N (or later) circuit boards. When referring to both the 4724 and the
4724-2, this section of the manual uses the convention “4724/4724-2.”
2. Maximum current draw for the 4724/4724-2 is 50 mA.
3. The Model 4724N is a 4720 and a 4724-2 (shipped together) that have been partially
installed at the factory.
3.1 Installation of 4724
Figure 2 shows the placement of the 4724/4724-2 board in relation to the 4720.
1. Very important! Remove power from the 4720 by disconnecting the AC power and bat-
tery.
2. (Skip this step if you are installing a 4724 N) Carefully remove the 4720 control micro-
processor chip from its socket by inserting a flat-blade screwdriver under each end of the
microprocessor and slowly prying it out.
If you are installing a 4724-2 board that has a socket for this chip, press the chip into the
socket, notch facing downward. Observe proper polarity (it is the opposite of the other
large ICs).
3. (Skip this step if you are installing a 4724 N) Insert the socket adapter into the 4720 con-
trol microprocessor socket. Pin 1 (marked on the adapter) goes into the upper left hand
corner of the socket. Make sure all pins are aligned. Press the adapter in, making sure the
adapter is fully seated (this requires a fair amount of pressure).
4. Remove the lower left hand mounting screw from the 4720 panel. The screw will no
longer be used.
If an earth ground wire was attached at this screw, move the wire to another mounting
screw.
5. Place the 4724/4724-2 circuit board over the pins on the socket adapter. The plastic
mounting bar should extend down over the mounting hole. Carefully press the 4724/4724-
2 onto the socket adapter, making sure the pins align with the rear entry connector. The
4724/4724-2 will rest level on the 4720 with the mounting hole aligned with the hole in
the mounting bar.
6. Fasten the 4724/4724-2 to the 4720 by placing the long 6-32 Phillips screw (provided)
through the mounting bar into the mounting hole and tightening the screw.
7. If you are expanding a Revision L (or earlier) 4720 board, you must remove the Model
4793 Dialer Chip from the Model 4720 board and replace it with the Model 4725 dialer
chip.
NOTE Be sure to observe proper polarity when replacing the dialer chip.
8. Reconnect power to the 4720 and turn on. “TIME 00:00” is the normal power-up display.
NOTE The 4791 EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) chip on the 4720
is not used by the 4724/4724-2 and can be removed if desired. The 4724/4724-2 has its own
EEPROM.

3.2 Zone Expanders
For more information on wiring zone expanders, see the 4720 Installation Manual (P/N
150476).
In some situations, zone expanders operate differently with a 4724 system than they do with a
4720 only. The instructions below describe the differences (or refer to additional sources of
information).
3.2.1 Current Zone Expander Models
The 4115 Serial Zone Expander and 4126 Hardwire Zone Expanders are the models currently
available for use with the 4720. Each of these products has its own installation manual. The
4115 Installation Manual (P/N 150648) is shipped with the product; the 4126 Installation
Manual (P/N 150860) is part of the Regency Technical Documentation binder.
3.2.2 Older Zone Expander Models
The following information about obsolete zone expander models is retained for installers who
need to troubleshoot or repair an existing system.
Model 4110 Serial Zone Expander
4110 zones using 4100 or 4101 sensors can be supervised, but the NO EOL option must be
selected as YES since the sensors have no end-of-line resistor. Two 4110 expanders can be
used for up to 120 additional serial zones.
Model 4125 Multiplexed Zone Expander
The 4125 is enhanced by the 4724 to allow zones to be wired like 4720 internal zones.
Normally closed zones must have either a 15 K end-of-line resistor in series with the contact or
they must be programmed as “NO EOL:YES.”
Zones can be programmed as normally open and normally closed for UL type burglary zones.
Zones programmed in this manner must have a 15 K end-of-line resistor and must be pro-
grammed as “NO EOL:NO.” These zones may also have day supervision selected.
Two 4125 zone expanders can be used for up 128 added zones. Zones on the second expander
should be wired starting at Zone #1, the actual zone number will be offset by the number of
zones on Expander #1 plus the number of internal zones (actual zone # = # of zones on
Expander 1 + # of internal zones).
Model 4130 RF Zone Expander
4130 zones must be programmed as normally open on the 4724. The transmitters are then indi-
vidually programmed as normally open or closed.
Two RF zone expanders can be used under special circumstances. Typically this would be
used in installations where the two receivers are isolated by some type of barrier wall that
blocks signals from the other expander.
NOTE Using more than 64 total transmitters is not recommended.

3.3 Model 4181 X-10 Power Line Control Module
NOTE The Model 4181 and the X-10 Modules are for supplementary use only and are not UL Listed
as control unit accessories.
3.3.1 Installation
The optional Model 4181 X-10 Power Line Interface provides remote and automatic control of
lighting and appliances in an installation. When X-10 Modules are used with the 4724, the con-
trol panel can provide automatic control based on internal status and key commands. The 4181
(PL513) allows the 4724 to support up to 32 of the X-10 Modules. The 4181 also provides the
4724 with power line synchronized real time.
Plug the Model 4181 into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz wall outlet to the panel. Use a 4-wire Modular
Phone Cable (P/N 130071, supplied) to connect the 4181 to the modular jack (P5) on the 4724,
as shown in Figure 3. The maximum length of the cable is 20 feet. The 4181 is optically iso-
lated from the power line.
WARNING! The modular connectors on both the 4724/4724-2 and the 4181 must NOT
be connected to a phone line or anything other than each other. The X-10
Modules can be distributed throughout the building.
To install the X-10 Modules, plug them into outlets close to the appliances you want them to
control.

3.3.2 Suppliers of X-10 Modules
X-10 compatible modules can be obtained from Interactive Technologies, Inc. by contacting
ITI’s Order Entry Department at 800-777-4841.
3.4 Software Updates
If you are installing the 4724 on to a Revision L (or earlier) 4720 board and you want to print
zone numbers greater than 99 or use the Answering Machine Bypass feature, you will need to
replace the Model 4720 Dialer Microprocessor Chip (P/N 4793) with the Model 4725 Dialer
Chip. To order the 4725 Dialer Chip, contact ITI’s Order Entry Department at 800-777-4841.
Section 4: Touchpad Operation
4.1 Touchpad Designations
The 4724 allows the system to use both door/card access (up to 255 cards).
Each touchpad location (up to 15) has several programmable options. Touchpads designated as
door stations will allow codes to be used for door access. A programmable option allows sin-
gle-swipe access and disarm at door stations. The Exit feature on door access touchpads can be
programmed to generate a report and printout. Each card (code) must be assigned a group of
areas to which it is granted access. The card will work only at stations assigned to one or more
of the same areas.
Touchpads not selected as door stations will allow cards to be used for arming and disarming,
but not door access. Cards swiped at these stations will arm or disarm the system, depending
on the card's current privileges. Touchpads that are selected as door stations (not door only)
will allow codes to arm and disarm, if appropriately programmed. You can arm or disarm the
system by pressing the DOOR key and entering the appropriate code (usually Code 0 or Code
1).
Touchpads designated as intercom stations will be able to use the Intercom features, but will
not have door access capabilities.
NOTE Any station can access X-10 Modules or Model 4150 relays.
Alarms and touchpad troubles are annunciated by location. Panic keys report as separate zones
for each station. Duress alarms caused by entering the duress prefix also have a separate zone
ID for each touchpad Table 1, “Panic Key Zones,” lists the zone reported for each touchpad.
The zone numbers can be found from Table 1 or through the following formula:
Zone = (Station ID #) x 4 + 145 + Keynumber
Keynumber 1is for “POL,” 2for “AUX,” and 3for “FIRE.” The station ID is set for 0-15,
using the DIP switches on the back of each touchpad.

Regency® Model 4724 Control Expander Installation Manual (P/N 150596-02, Rev. A) Revised 8/98

When a touchpad is in use and access is attempted at another location, the second location will
receive a SYSTEM BUSY message. However, the system will respond to a panic key activa-
tion or exit request at the second location. Touchpads are assigned to a group of areas for area
control (see Section 8.5 of this manual).
4.2 Touchpad Functions
The Model 4724 Control Expander provides the following additional touchpad functions:
4.2.1 Display Alarms
Press the MEM key to display alarms.
4.2.2 Display Troubles and Supervisories
Press the STAT key to display troubles or supervisories.
4.2.3 Toggle X-10s
To toggle X-10 Modules on and off, press a number from 11-42, then * or CODE 2, followed
by either “1” for on or “0” for off.
■Numbers 11-26 activate modules 1-16 from House Code 1.
■Numbers from 27-42 activate modules 1-16 from House Code 2.
The house codes for each section are programmed into the EEPROM (electrically erasable pro-
grammable read-only memory). The display shows the actual house code and module address
activated.

Section 5: Area Control
An area is a part of a building that is being treated as a subsection of the total system. The
Model 4724 allows an installation to be divided into up to eight areas. There are two possible
levels of system operation using areas: split and simple system arming.
5.1 Levels of Area Control
5.1.1 Simple System
Area programming is used to divide system door access into separate areas. Codes and touch-
pads for each area are programmed to determine who will to gain access at the touchpad. Arm-
ing and other functions operate at all stations and apply to the entire system, not to individual
areas.
5.1.2 Split Arming
Split arming offers a high degree of independent operation for each area. Each area can be
independently armed and disarmed. Each area has its own entry and exit timer. Entry or exit
zones assigned to that area will be disabled during the entry or exit time for the area. The pro-
grammed entry and exit times are shared by all areas.
Interior and Instant operation are also controlled separately for each area. Each area has its
own interior zones and interior active status. Each area has its own instant status that disables
the entry and exit timers for that area.
CODE2 operation applies separately for each area. When the Code2 feature is activated,
Code2 restricted access codes may disarm the area once. Normally Code2 restricted codes can
never disarm the system.
Each area can be armed and disarmed using only touchpads and codes that have been assigned
to that area.

Regency® Model 4724 Control Expander Installation Manual (P/N 150596-02, Rev. A) Revised 8/98
10
5.1.3 Auto Open/Close in a Multi-Area System
When programming the system for split arming, there are several interrelated software options
that must be enabled in order for the system to function properly:
1. SPLIT ARM, System Menu (Menu 4)
Must be enabled (select YES) for split arm systems.
2. Area O/C Area Options (Menu 14)
You must select each area (1-8) that will use auto open/close.
When you program these options as described above, the selections you made for Default
mode (in System Options, Menu 4) and Auto O/C (Area Options, Menu 14) will operate as
programmed.
WARNING! If you do not program Auto Open/Close areas as described here, the areas
will not follow the programmed time windows and will disarm if the system
enters Default mode.
5.2 Area Assignments
Each zone can be assigned to any one of the eight areas. Any number of zones can be assigned
to a particular area. This allows the installer to assign zones to areas after the system has been
wired, regardless of the type of hardware used in each zone. Chime zones only sound at touch-
pads in the same area. Entry and exit zones are activated by area also. There are separate entry/
exit timers for each area.
Each code can be assigned to any or all of the eight areas. The code can be used only at touch-
pads that are also assigned to the same area or areas.
Each touchpad can be assigned to one or more areas and more than one touchpad can be
assigned to each area. Each touchpad will display global system troubles and the status of any
areas to which it is assigned.
The Model 4180 Status Display Module can be programmed to activate speakers and bells for
alarm and trouble conditions that occur anywhere in the system or only for those that occur in
specific areas.
NOTE The only items that report by area are openings and closings.
Section 6: Dumping Event Memory to Central Station
The 4724’s event memory can be transmitted to the central station to be saved as a permanent
record. Currently, this must be done using the Model 5540 Downloading Software.
The 4724's event memory can be uploaded using a procedure similar to the one used to upload
programmed options. The procedure is explained in Section 9.3 of this manual.

Section 7: Using the 4724 Built-In Programmer
The 4724 includes a built-in programmer that can program all system operating parameters.
The programmer is simple to use and includes help displays for entering data. The 4724's built-
in programmer can be accessed using any 4660 series touchpad. Figure 4 (Section 7.6 of this
manual) is a diagram of the built-in programmer's menu structure.
7.1 Entering Program Mode
To go into Program mode, press 1 1 TEST followed by a valid code.
Code 0 (installer's code) is granted access to all system options. Other codes are granted access
to 4 of the program areas if the PG, or “program” access, option is enabled for that code. When
Program mode is active, the display lists the available menus one by one.
NOTE The factory programmed value for Code 0 (the installer's code) is “1234.”
Press the number of the menu that includes the options you wish to program. Press the TEST
key. The first line of the touchpad display will show the option name and the most recently
programmed value for that option. The second line will show the available choices.
To exit the current menu, press the MUTE key once. To leave Program mode at any time, press
MUTE twice, until you no longer see the scrolling key prompts.
NOTE Do NOT follow the above procedure to program new secret codes for Code 0 and Code 1.
Instead, press 7TEST (see Section 7.6 of this manual).
7.2 Stepping Through the Program
By pressing the TEST key, you can view the current option settings in a menu. The option
description appears on the top line, followed by the current setting. The bottom line shows
what keys can be used at that step of the program. In some cases, the key name will be fol-
lowed by a word that explains how the key is used.
Example:
“TEST-ENTER” means you use the TEST key as you would use the
ENTER key on a computer.
Press TEST again to proceed to the next option without changing the one you just viewed.
Some of the menus (Access, for example) repeat options for many numbered items. The first
step in the loop may allow you to choose what numbered item you wish to program. The menu
will automatically advance to the next numbered item when it reaches the end of the options
for the current item.
7.3 Programming the Options
For some options, the available choices are numbered and appear on the bottom line of the line
display.
1. To program an option, type in the number of the desired choice. The top line of the touch-
pad display will show the new value.
2. For yes/no options, Press 0for NO and 1for YES.
3. Press the TEST key. The display will advance to the next option.

7.4 Correcting Errors
NOTE If you have not touched the TEST key, you can correct an error by pressing CLR.
The LCD will show 0 or the first choice. Type in the correct data, then press the TEST key.
If you begin to program the wrong option, and you have not yet pressed the TEST key, press
the CHM key. This will cancel the new data and restore the default data. Press the TEST key
to advance to the next option.
NOTE The CHM key will restore the factory-programmed default value of any option.
7.5 Entering Text
There are several menus that require text and other characters to be entered (for example, zone
location descriptions). The display will show the current programmed text on the first line of
the display, with an underscore character (or cursor) denoting the end of the programmed text.
The second line will momentarily show the option name, followed by numbered groups of
symbols.
7.5.1 General Form
To enter text or characters, follow the procedure below, referring to Table 2.
1. Find the character you want in the area below and to the right of the double lines.
2. Press the digit to the left of the vertical double line in the same row.
3. Press the digit above the horizontal double line in the same column.
The character will appear on the top line of the display. Continue selecting characters this way,
until you have finished programming the message.
■Pressing the STAT key will erase the last character you typed.
■Pressing the BYPS key will move the cursor to the right, entering a blank space after
the last character you typed.
■Pressing the CLR key will erase the text and place the cursor at the beginning of Line 1.
4. If you select the wrong group of letters when you press the first digit, press MUTE or
CLR return to Step 2.
7.5.2 Hints for Use with the General Form
1. To enter capital letters, press the number that corresponds to the letter's position in the
alphabet (e.g., 0 1 for “A” and 2 6 for “Z”).
2. To enter numbers as part of the text, press 6followed by the desired number (e.g., TEST
0for “0” and so on).
3. The numbers 96-99 will cause a “beep” character of varying duration to be entered into
the text. If beeps are inserted into the text, the touchpad will beep whenever the text is dis-
played. The cursor does not move when a beep is entered into the text.
4. The # and * keys, if needed for phone numbers, can be entered into the keypad: type 7 3
for “#” and 8 0 for “*.”
