deza Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I'm trying to set up an I/O Linc to monitor the arming and disarming of a Honeywell Vista 20p panel. All I need to do is just monitor the status of the security- if it's armed or disarmed. I have the Honeywell 4204 relay module that's addressed to unit module #13 (DIP switches performed) and programmed with *79 and *80 using a Honeywell 6162 keypad. I'm not sure of the wiring from the 4204 to the I/O Linc. There are 4 relays on the 4204 unit and there are "C, N/C, and N/O" for each of the relays. I tried hooking the 3 wires to the I/O Linc, but it doesn't seem to produce a state change from on to off when I arm and disarm the system. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Techman Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I'm not familiar with the Honeywell panel but if you have a dry contact N/O and a Common lead coming from the panel and if the N/O contact closes when the panel is armed then all you need to do is hook up those two leads to the Sensor and Ground contacts on the I/O Linc.
Brian H Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 When the sensor input changes. The sensor LED indicator will go On or Off. If you use the N/O and C it should go On when the relay is activated. The 5 volt terminal should not be used. Just the sensor and ground.
deza Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks, I got it working. For those interested, I hooked up the N/O coming from the relay to the Sensor on the I/O Linc. Then, Common of relay to Ground of the I/O Linc. It is important that you have the 4204 relay correctly programmed using *79 and *80. The programming guide of the Vista 20p can be very confusing, but just read it over and over again until it sinks in. It took a while, but I'm finally figuring it out.
