Hi,
I just installed a 4204 Relay Module with an Ademco Vista 20P and everything works great - with one exception.

I have the relay set to trip on any burglar alarm and to turn on for 1 sec and off for 1 sec. The problem is that after I reset the alarm with the keypad it turns off the alarm and says that it is ready to arm, but the relay in the control panel is still going off and on just like I did nothing.

What do I need to do to get this to turn off, short of pulling plug and starting over. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeff

Program another output action that turns the relay off on disarm.

Thanks for the info. Sometimes I guess I just go brain dead! :(
Don't know why I didn't think of that. I programmed another output and it works great. Thanks for jogging my brain. Jeff

That's ok, I came up with about 3 horribly complicated answers before the "duh" fairy whacked me across the chops.
