SPECIAL MESSAGES

OC = OPEN CIRCUIT (no communication between Keypad and Control). EE or ENTRY ERROR = ERROR (invalid field number entered; re-enter valid field number). After powering up, AC, dI (disabled) or Busy Standby and NOT READY will be displayed after approximately 4 seconds. This will revert to a Ready message in approximately 1 minute, which allows PIRS, etc. to stabilize. You can bypass this delay by pressing [#] + [0]. If E4 or E8 appears, more zones than the expansion units can handle have been programmed. The display will clear after you correct the programming.

PROGRAMMING FORM

Entries apply to the ADEMCO VISTA-15P/VISTA-15PSIA and ADEMCO VISTA-20P/VISTA-20PSIA controls, except entries shown in dashed boxes, which apply only to the VISTA-20P/VISTA-20PSIA (partition entries) and are not applicable to the VISTA-15P/VISTA-15PSIA. In addition, where noted, certain fields have special settings when used with the VISTA-20PSIA/VISTA-15PSIA (indicated by V20PSIA/V15PSIA with heavy borders and reverse type throughout for easy identification). Entry of a number other than one specified will give unpredictable results. Values shown in brackets are factory defaults. SIA Guidelines: Notes in certain fields give instructions for programming the VISTA-20P/VISTA-15P for False Alarm Reduction.

Pager Programming

The system can send various reports to several pagers (VISTA-20P = up to 4; VISTA-15P = up to 2). To program pager reporting, do the following: 1. Enter the appropriate information in the following data fields: *160, *163, *166, *169 Pager Phone Numbers (for pagers 1-4 respectively) *161, *164, *167, *170 Pager Prefix Characters (for pagers 1-4 respectively) *162, *165, *168, *171 Pager Reporting Options by Partition (for pagers 1-4 respectively) 2. Enable Pager Delay, if desired, in field *172 (delays alarm reporting for ALL pagers). 3. Enable appropriate user open/close pager reports using the user attribute command (master code + [8] + user no. + [#] [5] + [1]). Users that perform actions in partition 1 will, if enabled, attempt to report to all pagers enabled for open/close reporting in partition 1. Users that perform actions in partition 2 will, if enabled, attempt to report to all pagers enabled for open/close reporting in partition 2. 4. If using latchkey pager report, define the latchkey report schedule using Scheduling mode (master code + [#] [6] [4] then select event type 03). 5. If using a function key to manually send a message to a pager, see Function Keys paragraph on the next page. 6. If reporting zone alarms and troubles to a pager, use *81 Zone List menu mode to assign the zones associated with each pager (zone lists 9-12). VISTA-20P supports four pagers and partitioning; VISTA-15P supports two pagers and zone lists 9 and 10 only. 3-2

Function Keys

To assign functions to the function keys, use *57 Function Key menu mode. To assign emergency key functions (function key option 00), first program the respective emergency zone number (95 for A key, 96 for C key, 99 for B key) with the desired zone type using *56 Zone Programming mode, then use *57 Function Key menu mode to assign the desired key. If using a function key to activate a relay action (*57 Menu mode key function 07), use *79 Menu mode to map the output, and use *80 Menu mode to define the outputs action; select system operation type 66. If using a function key for a user macro, use *57 menu mode to activate the desired key, then define the actual macro functions using the user code + [#] + [6] [6] command.

Output Devices

To program a device for manual activation (user code + [#] [7] / [#] [8] + 2-digit device number) or for scheduled automatic activation, simply map the device using *79 Menu mode. To program a device to automatically activate upon a system event (or function key), use *79 Menu mode to map the device, then use *80 Menu mode to define the automated device action. If the device action is based on more than one zone, use *81 Zone List menu mode to assign the zones.

Zone Type Definitions

You must assign a zone type to each zone, which defines the way in which the system responds to faults in that zone. Zone types are defined below.
Zone Type Type 00 Zone Not Used Type 01 Entry/Exit Burglary #1 Description Program a zone with this zone type if the zone is not used. Type 05 Trouble by Day/ Alarm by Night Assign to zones that are used for primary entry and exit. Provides entry delay if control is armed in the Away, Stay, or Night-Stay modes. No entry delay provided when the panel is armed in the Instant/Maximum mode. Entry delay #1 is programmable from 30 to 240 seconds for each partition. Exit delay begins whenever the control is armed, regardless of the arming mode selected, and is programmable from 45 to 180 seconds (field 34). Assign to zones that are used for entry and exit and require more time than the primary entry/exit point. Provides a secondary entry delay, in same manner as entry delay #1. Entry delay #2 is programmable from 30 to 240 seconds for each partition. Exit delay is same as described for Type 01. Assign to all sensors or contacts on exterior doors and windows. Provides an instant alarm if the zone is faulted when the panel is armed in the Away, Stay, Night-Stay, Instant or Maximum modes. Assign to a zone covering an area such as a foyer, lobby, or hallway through which one must pass upon entry (to and from the keypad). Provides a delayed alarm (using the programmed entry/exit time) if the entry/exit zone is faulted first. Otherwise this zone type gives an instant alarm. Active when the panel is armed in the Away mode. Bypassed automatically when the panel is armed in the Stay or Instant modes; if armed in Night-Stay mode, zones assigned to zone list 05 (night-stay zone list) are not bypassed when system armed in Night-Stay mode. Assign to a zone that contains a foil-protected door or window (such as in a store), or to a zone covering a sensitive area such as a stock room, drug supply room, etc. Can also be used on a sensor or contact in an area where immediate notification of an entry is desired. Provides an instant alarm if faulted when armed in the Away, Stay, Night-Stay, Instant or Maximum (night) modes. During the disarmed state (day), the system will provide a latched trouble sounding from the keypad (and a central station report, if desired).

TITLE and DATA ENTRIES Exit Error Report Code
0 = no report 1-F = see description above
If the system is armed and an entry/exit or interior zone is still open after the Exit Delay time has expired, an alarm will sound (keypad displays EXIT ALARM). If the system is disarmed before the end of the Entry Delay, the alarm sounding stops and no message is sent to the central station. The keypad will display CA (Fixed-Word display keypads) or CANCELED ALARM (Alpha display keypads). If the system is not disarmed before the end of entry delay, and an entry/exit or interior zone is still open, an EXIT ALARM message will be sent to the central station if an Exit Error Report code is entered. The keypad will display EA (Fixed-Word display keypads) or EXIT ALARM (Alpha display keypads), and alarm sounding will continue until the system is disarmed (or timeout occurs). An Exit Alarm condition will also result if a fault occurs in an exit or interior zone within 2 minutes following the end of the exit delay, and an EXIT ALARM message will be sent to the central station. With Contact ID format, the message will contain the zone number and error code 374 (ALARMEXIT ERROR). This will be sent if a zone has a trouble condition. UL: Required for UL commercial burglar alarm installations and required for residential fire alarm installations. This will be sent when a zone is manually bypassed. UL: Required for UL commercial burglar alarm installations. Timing of this report is random with up to a 4-hour delay. If AC restores before the report goes out, there is no AC RESTORE report. UL: Required for UL commercial burglar alarm installations and required for residential fire alarm installations. Sent when a low-battery condition exists in the systems battery.

Creating Schedules

About Schedules
The VISTA-20P system provides up to 32 schedules (VISTA-15P supports 8), which can be used to control 11 types of system events at pre-defined times. Sixteen schedules are intended for use by the end-user, and sixteen are reserved for the installer (VISTA-15P = 4 user schedules, 4 installer schedules). In addition, some events are also reserved for the installer only (listed in the Enter Event prompt paragraph below). Start Scheduling mode by entering installer code + [#] + [6] [4] while in normal operating mode. NOTE: The master code can only access schedules 01-16 (VISTA-15P = 01-04) and events 00-07. The following prompts are displayed: PROMPT

Checking Transmitter Enrollment (Sniffer Mode) Use this mode to verify that all transmitters have been properly programmed. Make sure both partitions are disarmed before trying to enter this mode, since this is a system-wide command. 1. Press [Installer code] + [#] + 3. Note: If the communicator is in the process of sending a report to the central station, the system will not go into the Sniffer mode. If so, wait a few minutes, and try again. The keypads in both partitions will display all zone numbers of wireless units (in both partitions) programmed into the system. Fault each transmitter in turn, causing each one to send a signal. As the system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone number of that transmitter disappears from the display. 2. After all transmitters have been checked, exit the sniffer mode by keying [Installer code (4112)] + OFF. IMPORTANT: Sniffer mode does not automatically expire. You must manually exit Sniffer mode (by entering [Installer code] + OFF) to return to normal operation. Notes: All BR type units must physically be activated to clear the display. When one button of a transmitter (RF, UR, or BR) is activated, all zones assigned to other buttons on that transmitter are cleared. This also applies to 5816 and 5817 transmitters, which have multiple loops (zones). Any transmitter that is not enrolled will not turn off its zone number.

Go/No Go Test Mode

The Go/No Go Test verifies adequate RF signal strength from the proposed transmitter location, and allow you to reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary, before mounting the transmitters permanently. This mode is similar to the Transmitter Test mode, except that the wireless receiver gain is reduced. This will enable you to make sure that the RF signal from each transmitter is received with sufficient signal amplitude when the system is in the normal operating mode. 1. Enter [Installer code (4112)] + [#] + 4 from the partition being tested. For multi-partition systems, repeat this test for each partition. 2. After you have placed transmitters in their desired locations and the approximate length of wire to be run to sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw terminals (if used), fault each transmitter. Do not conduct this test with your hand wrapped around the transmitter, as this will cause inaccurate results. a. The keypad will beep three times to indicate signal reception and display the appropriate zone number. b. If the keypad does not beep, you should reorient or move the transmitter to another location. Usually a few inches in either direction is all that is required. 4. If each transmitter produces the proper keypad response when it is faulted, you can then permanently mount each of the transmitters according to the instructions provided with them. 5. Exit the Go/No Go Test mode by entering: [Installer code (4112)] + OFF.
Dialer Communication Test and Periodic Test Reports

1. Enter Installer Code + 5 [TEST], then press 1 at the prompt to start the Dialer Test.
The following will be displayed (accompanied by 2 beeps) if test is successful:
PHONE OKAY (Cd displayed on Fixed-Word Display Keypads)
A Contact ID report will also be sent (code 601) If the dialer test is unsuccessful, the following is displayed:
COMM FAILURE (FC displayed on Fixed-Word Display Keypads)
2. Enter installer code + OFF to clear the display and exit. Automatic Periodic Test Report The system can be set to automatically send test reports (enabled in field *64; Contact ID code 602) at specified intervals. Frequency of the reports is set in Scheduling mode (event 11) or by the following key commands:
installer code + [#] + 0 + 0 = test report sent every 24 hours installer code + [#] + 0 + 1 = test report sent once per week installer code + [#] + 0 + 2 = test report sent every 28 days
Each mode sets schedule 32 (VISTA-20P) or schedule 08 (VISTA-15P) to the stated repeat option; first test report sent 12 hours after command. To ensure that test reports are sent at the times expected, set the Real-Time Clock to the proper time before entering the test report schedule command. Automatic Standby Battery Tests 1. An automatic test is conducted every 3 minutes to ensure that a standby battery is present and properly connected. If a battery is not present or is not properly connected, a LOW BATTERY message is displayed and, if so programmed, will be reported to the central station. 2. A battery capacity test is automatically conducted for 2 minutes every 4 hours, beginning 4 hours after exiting the Programming mode or after powering up the system. In addition, entry into the Test mode will also cause a battery capacity test to be initiated. If the battery cannot sustain a load, a Low Battery message is displayed and, if so programmed, will be reported to the central station.
