Addressing a 4219 Zone Expander on a VISTA Alarm System

[@mcydesigns1]

Thanks for this guys, going to make my day a lot smoother.

02:46 you have dipswitch 7 reversed from what the instructions say. ON = all zones normally closed and OFF = EOLR supervised.

[@AlarmGrid]

You are correct, thank you for pointing that out. We'll be reshooting this video in an upcoming session.

may problem is solved thanks for this video

Thank you for the clarification on the LED, it was bothering me that the LED turned off when I set the address to 08. What exactly is the purpose of the LED, then?

Hi Rachel, Feel free to check out our FAQ regarding this: www.alarmgrid.com/faq/what-does-a-green-led-light-on-a-honeywell-4219-mean

[@suthngin]

Is the Zone Type Aux or the Input Device Type?

[@AlarmGrid]

The input type for any zone on a 4219 will be 2, Auxiliary wired. The zone type can be whatever you need it to be.

[@KotoriTechnologies]

@@AlarmGrid Yes I was just pointing out he says Zone Type in the video and not Input Device Type.

[@alarmservicepros]

You did NOT say HOW to address it.

www.alarmgrid.com/faq/how-do-i-address-a-4219-zone-expander-to-a-vista-system here is our related FAQ that provides a bit more information regarding this. The DIP switches are used to set the address for the 4219, Joe mentions in the video that the box of the 4219 has more info about the DIP switches and how to set and address. The FAQ offers the same info.

@@dylanalarm_grid1038 Yeah, the reason people ask is because they might not have the paperwork.

[@dsxz]

Why doesnt it say on the fucking instructions or sticker this comes with what zones correspond to which address. Why did i have to google videos to find out address 8 means zones 17 thru 24...so fucking stupid

[@alarmservicepros]

@@dsxz for some weird reason geeks try and complicate things. They seem incapable of speaking in laymens terms.
