How Do I Wire The Honeywell 4219 To My Vista 20P?

[@rafaelcontreras2655]

No entiendo mucho el ingles solo un poco pero como lo explicastes muy bien. Se entiende todo. Muy buenos tus videos.

Hello. great video. Could you please change the video title to "how to wire a 4219". When you state INSTALL a 4219, that implies that by the end of the video, the unit will be operational. Installation actually requires programming steps, which this video does not show. Better yet, could you please share the programming steps required to activate the 4219, and leave the title as "HOW TO INSTALL." Otherwise, great wiring video!!

Thanks for the feedback and we'll certainly add those edits to our list. In the mean time, we do have a video on programming a wireless sensor to a VISTA panel at kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWPFmZmnf5eNo9U&t and the process is similar for programming a wired zone using a 4219. Just be sure to start on the proper zone number for the device address you use for the 4219. On a VISTA-20P, address 7 uses zones 9-16 (with zone doubling not in use), address 8 uses zones 17-24, address 9 uses zones 25-32, address 10 uses 33-40 and address 11 uses 41-18.

I like your videos more than theirs 😉

Hi, I want to connect 4 units 4204 relay module in Vista-20P. And program zone 1 alarm activate relay 1, zone 2 alarm activate relay 2...... total 16 zones to 16 relays. Can it be worked ?

[@joshuagriffin2807]

yes it can be done that will max out the relay outputs for that panel.

[@johnkosheluk1041]

What about is you put those wires in box and tie them together and run I wire up to the panel

[@Eledaraumar]

Great info. I'm a newer tech and learning so many different systems gets confusing. Is there a difference between a 20p and a 320P1?

[@joshuagriffin2807]

the 320P1 is a protection1 branded 20p.

[@Eledaraumar]

@@joshuagriffin2807 that makes a lot of sense now, thanks!

21ip's Zone 1 cannot be zone doubled, so without the 4219, you can only have up to 15 hw zones, not 16 :)

[@AlarmGrid]

True, but it's zone 9 that is skipped when zones 2 - 8 are doubled, so you program up to zone 16, not zone 15. I think that's what Joe was trying to say. Arguably, with some difficulty. The reason zone 1 can't be doubled is that it has a lower tolerance than zones 2 - 8, because its intended use is for 2-wire smokes. The tolerance on zones 2 - 8 is 300 ohms, the tolerance on zone 1 is 100 ohms. Zone doubling requires at least 200 ohms of tolerance.

[@emmanuelcruzortega8528]

Alarm Grid great reply! I meant amount of available hardwired zones, not the zone numbers able to be utilized in the system. By the way, I want to point out that your videos are extremely useful when my team have questions about Honeywell systems. Kudos to you!

Can I mount the 4219 inside the vista 20P Can?

[@DKAlarmgridSupport]

Yes, you would need to keep the 4219 in the plastic enclosure as there are no Screw holes on the board. The plastic case has holes that match the hole pattern in the Vista panel can.

[@williamirizarry1113]

Hello, should I install the resistors on each sensor or do I install resistors in the 4219?

[@patrickmayo6626]

You install the resistor at the device... unless you are lazy, then you have the resistor in the Can... typical install is you have the two wires coming from your panel with one landing in the "COM" and the other landing in the "N/O" and having one end of the resistor in each of these terminals as well. This will mean when the device activates it "shorts" the wire and goes into alarm and if the zone goes "open" the zone goes into trouble, but as long as it shows the resistance it's shown as "normal".
