Johnson Controls BLC-204 Dual Technology Detectors Instruction Manual
1. INTRODUCTION
The new line of LC-203/BLC-203 and LC-204/BLC-204 detectors is the best choice for residential and commercial security installations: BLC-203 and BLC204 are not UL/ULC listed. They only use digital PIRs which bypass the conversion that usually must be done with traditional detectors where an analog PIR is amplified and converted to digital. The FULLY digital technology helps the detector more accurately detect intrusions and not be affected by alterations in white light, ultraviolet light, temperature and air movement caused by heating/cooling systems. It is also fully immune to radiated and conducted electromagnetic interference. LC-203/BLC-203 and LC-204/BLC-204 detectors are equipped with lenses designed by Johnson Controls and are manufactured by Fresnel Technologies, Inc. LODIFF® optic creation technology combined with POLY IR® materials make it a product of the highest quality and efficiency. LC-203/BLC203 and LC-204/BLC-204 detectors are pet immune (feature not evaluated by UL/ULC) and have a 15 m range and a 100-degree detection range. LC-203/BLC203 includes mask detection.
2. INSTALLATION
– Using a thin screwdriver, loosen the bottom screw and open the cover (see
Fig 1)
– Remove the board from the plastic base by removing the screw on the board
(see Fig 2)
– Open the knockouts needed for mounting onto the wall (or use the non-
certified IMQ joint)
– Open the knockouts for removal protection and fix the anchor to the wall
(see Fig 2)
– Recommended height is 2.1 m
– Run the connection cables through the bottom of the container and out the
top
– Connect the wires on the board as described below
NOTE: Do not partially or completely cover the detector’s field of vision
NOTE: the pet function is not IMQ certified
3. MEANING OF THE LEDS
During normal operation, the LED signals are: GREEN LED = PIR Alarm; YELLOW
LED = MW Alarm; RED LED = General Alarm (both PIR and MW)
– LC-203/BLC-203: In the case of detector masking, the LED corresponding to
the masked technology will flash, and the MASK alarm contacts open
LC-203/BLC-203 VERSION The LC-203/BLC-203 provides continuous detector self-
testing, in the case of an anomaly lasting longer than 15 seconds, the
detector will report:
– POWER SUPPLY ABOVE THE NOMINAL THRESHOLDS: Alternating flashing of YELLOW
and GREEN LEDs and opening of the MASK contact
– INFRARED SELF-TEST FAILURE Flashing of GREEN LED and opening of the MASK
contact
– MICROWAVE SELF-TEST FAILURE Flashing of YELLOW LED and opening of the MASK
contact
4. CONNECTION AND SETUP
Dip LED –> off = LED off – on = LED on*
Dip HIGH/LOW –> off = 7m – on = 15m range
Dip NORM/PULSE –> off = 1 pulse – on = 2 pulse
Dip AND/OR-AUTO** –> off-off = AND; on-off = OR; on-on = auto OR
Trimmer RANGE = used only for microwave. NOTE: The RANGE trimmer may need to
be adjusted to the maximum position in order to achieve maximum area of
coverage as indicated in Figure 3.
Jumpers T – A – EOL open = NC contacts without resistors (not for UL/ULC
applications)
Jumpers T – A – EOL closed = DEOL supervision with internal resistors
SUPPLY terminals: Power supply 9-15 VDC / 56 mA. UL/ULC tested: 10.6-13 VDC /
56 mA. Note: For UL/ULC installations the detector shall be provided with
minimum of 4 hours of standby power from either a listed compatible control
unit or power supply.
Output contacts ratings: 28 VDC / 100 mA. Use only resistive loads on the
outputs.
MASK terminals = antimasking terminals present on LC-203/BLC-203 only
Note: Incorrect connections may result in failure or improper operation.
Inspect wiring and ensure connections are correct before turning on the power.
*remote activation and deactivation of walk test LED for LC-203/BLC-203 only: connect a 39 ohm resistor in series with the positive power supply, connect the NC output command in parallel with the R (see figure). The command should have a time of 3 or 4 seconds. At each command you will be able to turn the led on and off. For each connected detector add an R in parallel to the first one, and connect the power supplies that are in common.
** For UL/ULC installations use the OFF-OFF configuration only.

must be carried out by trained personnel according to professional standards.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility if the product is tampered with by
unauthorized persons. The alarm system should be checked for proper operation
at least once a month. However, a reliable electronic alarm system does not
prevent intrusion, robbery, fire or anything else but merely decreases the
risk of such situations occurring. UL/ULC has certified only the models LC-203
and LC-204 in accordance with UL639 and ULC-S306 for use in Residential and
Commercial Burg applications (In Canada for Security Level I-II type
applications). Use in dry, indoor ordinary locations, within the protected
premises. The detectors shall be tested annually. The installation and wiring
methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 and
CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical
Installations.
