He doesn't need a 4204.  He can use the onboard trigger output to fire a
12 volt relay (which would be cheaper than buying the 4204 or the 4229
zone expansion module).  If he already has the 4229 zone expander, it
comes with relays on board.

The point is he obviously doesn't know how to program the unit (or
doesn't have the manual).  He hasn't given us enough information about
his setup.
