I have a FA160C (Vista 20P) Security Control Panel. The panel comes with eight on-board hardwired zones. The information that comes with the control panel states that it is capable of handling 40 hardwire expansion zones. I currently have an Ademco 4219 Expansion Module hooked up to the main board (giving me 8 more zones). I need two more zones. My question is: Is there a larger expansion module? If not: Can I hook up an additional 4219 expansion module?

Thank-you,

You are correct on the 40 additional expansion zones. You can easily add another 4219.
