General
To install the 4286 with 4500 thermostats, you must program the 4286 using
its installer programming mode. This is done using a Touch-tone phone at
the premises that is wired to the 4286 handset terminals.
The 4286 installer-programming mode may be entered within 3 hours from
the time that power is applied to its 12VDC input.
The installer programming mode options allow you to program the 4286 to:
• Drive 1 or 2 4500 thermostats
• Set up the system to work in degrees Fahrenheit (F), or degrees
Centigrade (C).
• Announce room temperature along with security system status reports.
• Provide voice descriptions for the thermostats such as “upstairs bedroom
temperature.”
• Select the partition that will trigger a temperature set-back when the
system is ARMED AWAY. This is done by selecting a keypad address
assigned to the desired partition).
