• Supports no end-of-line, single end-of-line and

double end-of-line zone loops (5600 ohm resistors)

• AUX+ Output: 12 VDC, 250mA max. (power drawn

from Combus)

• Tamper contact input

Compatible Cabinets

• PC4050C/CR** • PC4052C/CR**

• PC4051C/CR** • PC5001C/CP*

* PC4108AT (tamper) use with PC5001CP cabinet only

**CR cabinets for North American customers only

3. Installing the PC4108A

3.1 Unpacking

The PC4108A package includes the following parts:

• One PC4108A circuit board

• 16 end-of-line resistors (5600 ohms)

• Three plastic stand-offs

3.2 Mounting

The PC4108A should be located inside a compatible

cabinet, mounted in a dry, secure location. Preferably, it

should be placed at a convenient distance from the

connected devices.

Perform the following steps to mount the unit:

1. Press the three plastic stand-offs through the

mounting holes at back of the cabinet.

2. Secure the cabinet to the wall in the desired location.

Use appropriate wall anchors when securing the

cabinet to drywall, plaster, concrete, brick or other

surfaces.

3. Press the circuit board into the three plastic stand-

offs to secure the module to the cabinet.

Once the unit is mounted, wiring may be completed.

3.3 Installation and Wiring

Before beginning to wire the unit, ensure that all power

(AC transformer and battery) is disconnected from the

control panel.

Perform the following steps to complete wiring:

1. Connect the four Combus wires to the PC4108A.

Connect the red, black, yellow and green Combus wires

to the RED, BLK, YELand GRN terminals, respectively.

2. Complete all zone wiring to the zone input terminals

(Z1-Z8). See the control panel Installation Manual for

details on zone wiring configurations.

3. Connect the external tamper switch, if used.

Consult the wiring diagram above for further information.

3.4 Applying Power

After all wiring is completed, apply power to the control panel.

Connect the battery leads to the battery, then connect the AC

transformer. For more information on control panel power

specifications, see the control panel Installation Manual.

NOTE: Do not connect the power until all wiring is

complete.

4. Enrolling the Module

Once all wiring is complete, the module must be enrolled

on the system. To enroll the module, perform the

following:

1. Enter installer’s programming by pressing [*] [8]

[Installer’s Code].

2. Scroll to “Module Hardware” and press the [*] key.

3. Scroll to “Enroll Module” and press the [*] key.

4. Scroll through the different modules until “PC41XX”

is displayed. Press the [*] key.

5. The message “Create Tamper on Desired Unit” will

be displayed. To create the required tamper, secure

the tamper zone on the module and then open it. The

transition from secure to violated enrolls the module.

After this is done, the keypad will display the module

number and will confirm enrollment (e.g. “PC4108

Mod 01 Enrolled”).

Zones 1-8 (PC4010)/1-16 (PC4020) are located on the main

control panel. Additional zones are added in sequence.

For example, if two PC4108Azone expanders are enrolled,

the first one enrolled will be assigned zones 17 to 24 and

the second will be assigned zones 25 to 32. To confirm

which zones are assigned to which expander, press the

arrow key when the enrollment confirmation message is

displayed.

For more information regarding module enrollment, see

the control panel Installation Manual.

5. Programming the Module

To access PC4010/4020 programming, enter [*][8] followed

by the Installer’s code. The zones connected to the module

must be added to a partition and programmed for

operation. The programming worksheet located on this

sheet indicates which sections must be programmed. For

more information regarding zone programming, see the

control panel Installation Manual.

NOTE: The zone types and attributes listed below are

for PC4010/4020 v3.0. For zone programming for

previous software versions, see the corresponding

programming manual.
