TO ENTER PROGRAMMING MODE (using an alpha keypad connected to the control):
A. POWER UP, then press [] and [#] at the same time, within 50 seconds of powering up (this method must be used if 98 was used to exit program mode). OR B. Initially, key: Installer Code (4 + 1 + 1 + 2) plus 8 + 0 + 0. Command/Explanation Press [] + [Field Number], followed by the required entry. When the desired field number appears, simply make the required entry. When the last entry for a field is entered, the keypad beeps three times and automatically displays the next data field in sequence. If the number of digits that you need to enter in a data field is less than the maximum digits available (for example, the phone number fields *41, *42), enter the desired data, then press [ ] to end the entry. The next data field number is displayed. Press [#] + [Field Number]. Data will be displayed for that field number. No changes will be accepted in this mode. Press [] + [Field Number] + []. (Applies only to fields 40 thru *46, *94, and pager fields) Press 96. Initializes download ID and subscriber account number. Press 97. Sets all data fields to original factory default values. Press 56. Zone characteristics, report codes, alpha descriptors, and serial numbers for 5800 RF transmitters. Press 57. Unlabeled keypad keys (known as ABCD keys) for special functions Press 58. Same options as *56 mode, but with fewer prompts. Intended for those familiar with this type of programming, otherwise *56 mode is recommended. Press 79. Assign module addresses and map individual relays/powerline carrier devices Press 80. 4229 or 4204 Relay modules, Powerline Carrier devices, or on-board triggers Press 81. Zone Lists for relay/powerline carrier activation, chime zones, pager zones, etc. Press 82. Zone alpha descriptors Press 98. Exits programming mode and prevents re-entry by: Installer Code + 8 + 0 + 0. To reenter programming mode, the system must be powered down, then powered up. Then use method A above.

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.

INCOMING PHONE LINE TELEPHONE WIRING (VIA RJ31X* JACK AND DIRECT CONNECT CORD) *CA38A IN CANADA

This system uses addressable keypads and Zone Expander Modules (see Table of Addresses in Section 2. Mounting and Wiring Wiring the Keypads and Other Addressable Devices). Keypads must be set for addresses 16-23 (first keypad is address 16, which is different from previous controls) and programmed in data fields *190-*196. Zone Expander Modules must be set for specific addresses (07-11), based on the zone numbers used. 4204 Relay Modules must be set for specific addresses (12-15). This control will not power-up unless AC power is connected (will not power-up on battery alone). However, once the system is powered up, it will operate on battery power in the event of AC loss. Relays have two programming menu modes: Use *79 Menu mode to map module addresses and device (output) numbers. Use *80 Menu mode to define the output functions. This system supports programmable function keys. Use *57 Menu mode to define the function keys. This system provides various paging features. Refer to the Programming Overview section for a summary on pager programming.

Sounder (Bell) Connections

Basic Connections

Make sounder connections to alarm output terminals 3 (+) and 4 (). The 12VDC sounder output activates when an alarm occurs. Total current drawn from this output cannot exceed 2 amps (going beyond 2 amps will overload the power supply, or may cause the electronic circuit protecting the sounder output to trip). You must install a battery, since the battery supplies this current.

spkr_conn-001-V0

ALARM OUTPUT 10.5 - 13.5 VDC 2A MAX.
Supervised output 1. Cut the red Bell Supervision Jumper located above terminals 2 and 3 on the PC board. 2. Connect a 2k ohm resistor across the terminals of the last sounder. See Figure 5.
This control complies with NFPA requirements for temporal pulse sounding of fire notification appliances. Temporal pulse sounding for a fire alarm consists of: 3 pulses pause 3 pulses pause 3 pulsesetc.
Use only UL Listed sounding devices for UL installations. Bell supervision is required for fire alarm installations. The total current drawn from the alarm output and the auxiliary power output, combined, cannot exceed 600 mA. In addition, the sounding device must be a UL Listed audible signal appliance rated to operate in a 10.2-13.8 VDC voltage range, and must be mounted indoors.

RF Receiver Notes

These fields must be enabled for Residential Fire, UL Residential Burglar Alarm, and UL Commercial Burglar Alarm installations.
Figure 11. 5881/5882 RF Receiver (cover removed) Set the following options: *22 RF Jam Option *24 RF House ID Code (if using wireless keypads) for each partition *67 Transmitter Low Battery Report Code *75 Transmitter Low battery restore report code The receiver is supervised and a trouble report is sent (CHECK 100 displayed) if communication between the panel and receiver is interrupted, or if no valid RF signals from at least one supervised transmitter are received within 12 hours. If the receiver is mounted remotely: Place the RF receiver in a high, centrally located area for best reception. Do not locate the receiver or transmitters on or near metal objects. This will decrease range and/or block transmissions. Do not locate the RF receiver in an area of high RF interference (indicated by frequent or prolonged lighting of the LED in the receiver; random flicker is OK). Do not locate RF receiver closer than 10 feet from any keypads to avoid interference from the microprocessors in those units.
Installing a 5800TM Module Use this module only if you are using one or more wireless bi-directional keypads or keyfobs with a wireless Receiver; 5800TM is not necessary if using a Transceiver (e.g., 5883). The 5800TM must be set to address 28 (cut red-W1 jumper). The 5800TM can be used in partition 1 only. For additional information regarding the 5800TM, refer to the 5800TMs instructions. 1. Mount the 5800TM next to the RF receiver (between one and two feet from the receivers antennas) using its accompanying mounting bracket. Do not install within the control cabinet. 2. Connect the 5800TM to the control panels keypad connection terminals as shown on the Summary of Connections diagram and set to address 28. Refer to the table of compatible devices at the back of this manual. Supervised transmitters send check-in signals to the receiver at 70-90 minute intervals. If at least one check-in message is not received from each transmitter within a 12-hour period, the missing transmitter number(s) and CHECK is displayed. ( Hand-held transmitters, e.g., 5802, 5802CP, 5804, 5804BD, 5827, 5827BD, do not send check-in signals.) To be sure reception of the transmitter's signal at the proposed mounting location is adequate, perform a Go/No Go Test, described in the Testing the System section. Install transmitters in accordance with the instructions provided with each. Set 5827, 5827BD, 5804BD wireless keypads to the programmed House ID (field *24), using its DIP switches (5827) or follow the instructions provided with the device. Use *56 or *58 Zone Programming Menu modes to program zone information and enroll transmitters (VISTA-20P: zones 9-48, buttons 49-64; VISTA-15P: zones 9-34, buttons 49-56). Wireless Keys: Use Wireless Key Programming Templates section of the *58 Zone Programming Menu mode to program zone information and enroll each button of the wireless keys used. Once a wireless key is enrolled, it must be assigned to a user before it becomes active. See Adding/Deleting Security Codes section for procedure. ULC NOTE: In accordance with ULC standards, the RF supervision period for the VISTA-20PCN

Use 4146 keyswitch or any N.O. keyswitch. Use only one keyswitch per partition. When using a keyswitch, the zone it is connected to is no longer available for use as a protective zone. Use *56 Menu mode to program the keyswitch zone and assign it zone type 77. Use *80 Menu mode to program the LED functions: program outputs 17 and 18 for system operation zone type 78 (red LED) and 79 (green LED) as appropriate (see Output Device Programming section).
Connecting Relay Modules, Powerline Carrier Devices and Output Triggers
4204/4229 Relay Modules 1. Mount either remotely or in the control panel. 2. Connect each module to the controls keypad terminals and set the device addresses as previously described in the Connecting Keypads and Other Addressable Device section. Use the connector harness supplied with the module. Use standard 4-conductor twisted cable for long wiring runs. VISTA-20P: Up to 16 relays (if no powerline carrier devices are used) VISTA-15P: Up to 8 relays (if no powerline carrier devices are used) 3. Connect the desired field wiring to the unit's relay contact terminals.
For UL installation requirements, refer to the Installation Instructions for the 4204.
Figure 13. 4204 Connections to Control Supervision: 4204 and 4229 modules are supervised against removal. The modules device address is displayed as follows if a module is disconnected from the controls terminals, or if the module cover is removed and the tamper jumper is installed: Alpha: CHECK xx Wire Expansion FAULT xx Wire Expansion ALARM xx Wire Expansion Fixed-Glass: lxx (or 91 if field *199 set for 2-digit display) where xx is the modules address. If communication/tamper failure occurs on a device with zones wired to it, all zones on the device will be displayed in their respective partitions. 1. Install the powerline carrier devices according to the instructions included with each. VISTA-20P: Up to 16 devices (if no relays are used) VISTA-15P: Up to 8 devices (if no relays are used) 2. Use Programming Mode to enter the device house ID in data field*27, and enter the unit code using *79 Output Device menu Mode. 3. See connections diagram in the AC Wiring section for connecting the 1361X10 transformer to the triggers. You must use a 1361X10 Transformer instead of the 1321 Transformer. The 1361X10 Transformer provides AC power to the control panel, and also supplies signals from the control panel through the premises AC wiring to the Powerline Carrier devices (which are plugged into AC outlets). You can then make devices that are plugged into Powerline Carrier devices perform various functions in response to commands you enter at the security system keypads. Canada: Use the PSC04 Powerline Interface as shown below.
Powerline Carrier Devices
Powerline Carrier devices and the 1361X10 Transformer are not UL Listed for fire or burglary functions and are intended for home automation.

Type 02 Entry/Exit Burglary #2
Type 03 Perimeter Burglary Type 04 Interior Follower
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). Type 06 Usually assigned to a zone containing an emergency button. 24-hr Silent Alarm Sends a report to the central station but provides no keypad display or sounding. Type 07 Assign to a zone that has an emergency button. 24-hour Audible Sends a report to the central station, and provides an alarm sound at the keypad, and an Alarm audible external alarm. Type 08 Assign to a zone containing an emergency button, or to a zone containing monitoring devices 24-hour such as water or temperature sensors. Auxiliary Alarm Sends a report to the central station and provides an alarm sound at the keypad. (No bell output is provided.) Type 09 Provides a fire alarm on short circuit and a trouble condition on open circuit. A fire alarm Supervised Fire produces a pulsing bell output. This zone type is always active and cannot be bypassed. Type 10 Provides entry delay (using the programmed entry time), if tripped when the panel is armed in Interior w/Delay the Away mode. Entry Delay 1 begins whenever sensors in this zone are violated, regardless of whether or not an entry/exit delay zone was tripped first. Bypassed 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. Type 12 Works as a dynamic monitor of a zone fault/trouble (not alarm). In the case of a short/open, the Monitor Zone message, "*ALARM*-24 Hr. Non-Burg. -#XXX " (where XXX is the zone number) will be sent to the Central Station. The system keypad will display a check message indicating the appropriate zone (but keypad beeping does not occur). Upon restoral of the zone, the message, "*RESTORE*-24 Hr. Non-Burg. -#XXX " will be sent to the Central Station. The check message will automatically disappear from the keypad dynamically, when the zone restores; a user code + off sequence is not needed to reset the zone. Faults of this zone type are independent of the system, and can exist at the time of arming without interference. Since this is a trouble zone type, do not use this zone type with relays set to activate upon alarm. Type 14 Assigned to any zone with a carbon monoxide detector. 24 Hour Carbon The bell output will pulse when this zone type is alarmed. Monoxide Always active and cannot be bypassed. Monitor Type 16 Provides a fire alarm when zone is shorted, but only after alarm verified. Fire System verifies alarm by resetting zones for 12 seconds after short is detected. A subsequent w/Verification short circuit within 90 seconds triggers fire alarm. Provides a trouble response when zone is open. Type 20 Arms the system in Stay mode when the zone is activated. Arm-Stay (BR Pushbutton units send the user number to the central station when arming or disarming. only) User number for button must be assigned. Type 21 Arms the system in Away mode when the zone is activated. Arm-Away (BR Pushbutton units send the user number to the central station when arming or disarming. only) User number for button must be assigned. Type 22 Disarms the system when the zone is activated. Disarm (BR only) User number for button must be assigned. Type 05 Trouble by Day/ Alarm by Night

For 4229 modules, relay numbers are 1-2. The system returns to the Output Number prompt for programming the next device.
*80 Menu Mode: Defining Output Functions
Use this mode to program output function definitions (up to 48 functions) that provide automated control of any of the output devices, based on events occurring on individual zones or zones with certain zone types. Each output definition is identified by an output function number, and includes the following components: Output Definition Components
Component Output Function No. Activated By Event Partition Output Action Description A reference number that defines an outputs characteristics. Determines whether the initiating event occurs on a zone, a zone list, or a zone type. Event that triggers the output action. Can be an event occurring on a specific zone number or a zone list, or a specific zone type. If the output is activated by zone type, this defines the partition in which the programmed event is to cause the device action. Defines the action of the relay/X-10 device when the defined event occurs. Can close for 2 seconds, stay closed until reset, continuously pulse (1-second close-open-close-open, etc.), toggle the device state, or activate for a defined duration (set in data field *177). Assigns this function to a specific output number (defined in *79 Menu Mode). This is the output number that will perform this function upon the triggering event. Note that each defined function is associated with only one output number. This means that if more than one output device needs to perform this particular function, you need to define another output function number with the same attributes, but assign the appropriate output number. (i.e. output devices can be assigned more than one function number, but each function number can only be assigned a single output number.

Output No.

For example, if you want to pulse a strobe light upon fire alarms on zone 4 using a relay mapped to output number 2 (as programmed in *79 Menu Mode), program the following in *80 Menu Mode: Prompt Output Funct. # Activated By: Enter Zn No. Output Action Output Number 80 Menu Mode

Testing the System

About Test Procedures
After the installation is complete, you should perform the following tests: System Test: Checks that all zones have been installed properly and the system responds to faults. Dialer Test: Checks that the phone connection to the central station is working properly. Go/No Go Test: Checks that transmissions can be received from transmitters. Should be performed before permanently mounting transmitters. RF Sniffer Mode: Checks that RF transmitter serial numbers have been properly enrolled. Battery Tests: Automatic battery tests are performed by the system.

System Test

With the system in the disarmed state, check that all zones are intact (not faulted). Doors and windows with contacts should be closed, PIRs should be covered (use a cloth to mask them temporarily if necessary). If a NOT READY message is displayed, press [] to display the faulted zone(s). Restore faulted zone(s) if necessary, so that the READY message is displayed. 1. Enter Installer Code + 5 [TEST] , then press 0 at the prompt to start Walk Test mode.
1=DIAL, 0=WALK (no special display on Fixed-Word keypads)
The following will be displayed and a Contact ID report will be sent (code 607):
TEST IN PROGRESS (dd displayed on Fixed-Word Display Keypads)
2. Upon entering the system test mode, the outside sounder should sound for 1 second. If the backup battery is discharged or missing, the sounder may not turn on and a LOW BATTERY report will be transmitted with a TEST report. The keypad will beep about every 40 seconds as a reminder that the system is in the Test mode. NOTE: Wireless motion detectors (Passive Infrared units) will send signals out only if they have been inactive for 3 minutes (conserves battery life). 3. Test all sensors using the procedure described in the Users Guide Testing the System section. 4. After checking sensors, turn off the test mode by entering installer code + OFF. NOTE: Test mode automatically ends after 4 hours. During the final 5 minutes (after 3 hours 55 minutes of Test mode), the keypad emits a double-beep every 30 seconds to alert that the end of Test mode is nearing.

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, COMM FAILURE (or FC) is displayed. 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 selected repeat option; the first test report is 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.
