The purpose of this document is to provide a quick and easy way to program your entire system. A recommended
programming procedure is included, followed by a list of program fields with the corresponding program group they belong to
(system-wide, partition-specific, scheduling, etc.). Two program forms are included. One contains all the programming fields,
and the other contains the partition-specific fields. If you are setting up a single-partition system, the partition-specific fields
become system-wide fields.
Following the program forms are system layout worksheets. We recommend that you use these sheets to plan your system
before programming is performed. If you need further information about specific programming options, see the VISTA128BP/VISTA-250BP Installation and Setup Guide.
Make sure that one two-line alpha keypad is connected to the control and is set to device address "00."

Single-Partition System
The system default is for a single-partition system. Use the VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP SINGLE PARTITION
PROGRAMMING FORM when programming for single-partition usage. Follow the steps outlined in RECOMMENDED
PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE of this document for proper programming procedure.

Multiple-Partition System
You must enter the number of partitions you are using in data field 2*00 to set the system for multiple partitions. Use the
VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP SINGLE PARTITION and the PARTITION-SPECIFIC PROGRAM FORMS when
programming the system for multiple partitions. Follow the steps outlined in RECOMMENDED PROGRAMMING
PROCEDURE of this document for proper programming procedure.

Recommended Programming Procedure
The following is a step-by-step procedure recommended for programming your VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP
system.
1. Set the keypads (and other peripheral devices) to the appropriate addresses.
2. Set factory defaults by pressing ✱97.
This will automatically enable keypad addresses 00-01, so be sure at least one keypad is set to one of these
addresses. Address 01 is also set for AUI.
3. Program system-wide (global) data fields.
Using the programming form as a guide, enter program mode and program all system-wide programming
fields. These options affect the entire system, regardless of partitions. They include control options,
downloader and dialer options, RF options, event logging options, etc. Refer to the Program Field Index for a
listing of the program fields and their function.
Note that field 2✱00 (number of partitions) must be programmed before continuing.
4. Program partition-specific fields.
When the system-wide fields have been programmed, program all partition-specific programming fields by
first pressing ✱91 to select a partition (while still in data field program mode). Then enter the first partitionspecific field number ✱09. When you are finished, the next partition-specific field is automatically displayed.
Partition-specific fields can have different values for each partition. To program the fields for the next partition,
press ✱91, enter the desired partition number, then enter field ✱09. Refer to the MECHANICS OF
PROGRAMMING section in the VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP Installation and Setup Guide for detailed
instructions.
5. Use #93 Menu Mode for device programming.
Refer to Device Programming in this guide to assign keypad ID numbers and default partitions for each
keypad, and to selectively suppress certain keypad sounding options. Also use this mode to assign RF
receivers, relay modules, the VIP module, the ECP Long Range Radio, and the VISTA Gateway Module.
6. Use #93 Menu Mode for zone programming.
Refer to Zone Programming in this guide to program zone response types, assign right loop zones and
wireless zones, assign zones to partitions, and to program alarm report codes.
7. Use #93 Menu Mode for programming outputs.
Refer to Output Programming in this guide to program desired output operation.
8. Program Communication options.
Refer to System Communication section in the VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP Installation and Setup Guide for
detailed instructions. Then use #93 menu mode to program report codes.
9. Use #93 Menu Mode for programming alpha descriptors.
Refer to Alpha Programming in this guide to enter zone and partition descriptors and a custom installer's
message.
10. Use #93 Menu Mode for relay voice descriptors and custom word substitutes.
Refer to Relay Voice Descriptors in this guide for further instructions for programming relay descriptors to be
annunciated by the VIP module, as well as the Custom Index section for custom word substitutes.
11. Use #80 Mode for programming schedules.
Refer to the Scheduling Menu Prompts in the VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP Installation and Setup Guide to
program open/close schedules, temporary and holiday schedules, limitation of access schedules, and timedriven events.
12. Define user access codes.
Refer to User Access Codes in the VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP Installation and Setup Guide to program
authority level, O/C reporting option, partition assignments, and RF key assignments for each user.
13. Exit Programming Mode.
Exit programming mode by pressing either ✱98 or ✱99. Additional entries of ✱99 are required if the exit is
being done from fields 1✱00 and above.
To prevent re-access to programming mode using the Installer's code, use ✱98. The only way to re-access
programming mode is by depressing both the [✱] and [#] keys at the same time within 30 seconds of powerup.
Exiting by using ✱99 always allows reentry into programming mode using the Installer code. Either way of
exiting allows access via downloading. Note that if local programming lockout is set via downloading,
programming mode cannot be entered at the keypad.

Alpha Descriptors Programming
You can program a user-friendly English language description/location for all protection zones, relays, keypad panics, polling
loop short, and RF receiver supervision troubles.
Each description can be composed of a combination of words (up to 3) that are selected from a vocabulary of 244 words
stored in memory, and any word can have an "s" or " 's " added to it.
NOTE: Due to the use of 3-digit zone numbers, the first word of the descriptor is limited to 6 characters if you want it to fit on
the top line of the display.
In addition, up to 60 installer-defined words can be added to those already in memory. Thus, when an alarm or trouble occurs
in a zone, an appropriate description for the location of that zone will be displayed at the keypad.
A custom installer's message can be programmed for each partition which is displayed when the system is "Ready" (e.g., THE
PETERSONS’).
1. To program alpha descriptors, enter Programming mode, then press #93 to display "ZONE PROG?"
2. Press [0] (NO) twice to display "ALPHA PROG?".
3. Press [1] to enter Alpha Programming.
There are 6 submenu selections that will be displayed one at a time.
Press [1] to select the mode desired.

CUSTOM WORD?

For creating custom words for use in descriptors.

PART DESCRIP?

For creating 4-character partition names.

EXIT EDIT MODE?

Press [1] to exit back to #93 Menu Mode.

Refer to the sections that follow for procedures for adding alpha descriptors.

Zone Descriptors
1. Select ZONE DESCRIPTOR mode.
The keypad keys perform the following functions:
[3] Scrolls both alphabet and actual words in ascending alphabetical order.
[1] Scrolls both alphabet and actual words in descending alphabetical order.
[2] Adds or removes an "s" or " 's " to a vocabulary word.
[6] Switches between alphabet and actual word list; used to accept entries.
[8] Saves the zone description in the system's memory.
[#] [#] plus zone number displays the description for that zone.
2. Enter the zone number to which you want to assign a descriptor.

3.

For example, key [✱] 001 to begin entering the description for Zone 1, (key [✱] 002 for Zone 2, [✱] 003 for Zone 3, etc.).
The following is displayed: ✱ ZN 001 A.
Note that the first letter of the alphabet appears after the zone number, and that the zone number is automatically
included with the description.
Enter the descriptor for that zone.
Use one of two methods as follows:
(Assume, for example, that the desired description for Zone 1 is BACK DOOR.)
a) Press [#] followed by the 3-digit number of the first word from the fixed dictionary shown later in this section (e.g.,
[0][1][3] for BACK).
Press [6] in order to accept the word and proceed, or press [8] to store the complete descriptor and exit;
or
b) Select the first letter of the desired description (note that "A" is already displayed). Use the [3] key to advance
through the alphabet and the [1] key to go backward.
Press [3] key repeatedly until "B" appears (press [1] to go backwards if you happen to pass it), then press [6] to
display the first available word beginning with “B”.
Press [3] repeatedly to advance through the available words until the word “BACK” is displayed.
To add an "s" or " 's," if you need to, press 2. The first depression adds an "s," the second depression adds
an " 's, " the third depression displays no character (to erase the character), the fourth depression adds an
"s," etc.

Accept the word.
To accept the word, press [6], which switches back to the alphabet list for the next word, or press [8] to store the
complete descriptor and then exit.
Select the next word.
For selection of the next word (DOOR), repeat step 3a (word #057) or 3b, but selecting the word "DOOR.”
To accept the word, press [6], which again switches back to alphabet list.
Store the descriptor.
When all desired words have been entered, press [8] to store the description in memory.
To review the zone descriptors, key [#] plus zone number (e.g., #001).
To edit zone descriptors, key [✱] plus zone number (e.g., ✱001)

Exit Zone Description Mode: enter 000.

Default Screen (Custom Message Display)
Normally, when the system is in the disarmed state, the following display is present on the keypad.
****DISARMED****
READY TO ARM

Part or all of the above message can be modified to create a custom installer message for each partition. For example,
“****DISARMED****” on the first line or “READY TO ARM” on the second line could be replaced by the installation company
name or phone number for service.
Note: There are only 16 character spaces on each of the two lines.
To create a custom display message, proceed as follows:
1. Select Default Screen mode.
The keypad asks for the partition number for this message.
Enter the partition number. Press [✱] to accept entry.
The following display appears:
****DISARMED****
READY TO ARM

2.

3.
4.

A cursor is present at the extreme left of the first line (over the first "star"). Press [6] to move the cursor to the right and [4]
to move the cursor to the left. Press [7] to insert spaces or erase existing characters.
Create the message.
For example, to replace “READY TO ARM” with the message “SERVICE 424-0177,” proceed as follows:
Press [6] to move the cursor to the right, and continue until the cursor is positioned over the first location on the second
line.
Press [3] to advance through the alphabet to the first desired character (in this case, "S"). Press [1] to go backward, when
necessary. When the desired character is reached, press [6].
The cursor then moves to the next position, ready for entry of the next character (in this example, "E"). When the cursor
reaches a position over an existing character, press [3] or [1] to advance or back up from that character in the alphabet.
Proceed in this manner until all characters in the message have been entered.
Save the message.
Store the new display message in memory by pressing [8].
The system asks for a new partition number.
Enter 0 to quit or 1-8 for a new partition number.

Custom Words
Up to 60 installer-defined words can be added to the built-in vocabulary. Each of the 60 "words" can actually consist of several
words, but bear in mind that a maximum of 10 characters can be used for each word string.
1. Select CUSTOM WORD Mode.
The keys perform the following functions:
[3] Advances through alphabet in ascending order.
[1] Advances through alphabet in descending order.
[6] Selects desired letter; moves the cursor 1 space to the right.
[4] Moves the cursor one space to the left.
[7] Inserts a space at the cursor location, erasing any character at that location.
[8] Saves the new word in the system's memory.
[✱] Returns to Description Entry Mode.
2. Enter the custom word number (01-60) you want to create.
For example, if you are creating the first word (or word string), enter 01; when creating the second word, enter 02, and so
on. A cursor now appears at the beginning of the second line.
3. Type the word using one of two methods as follows:
a) Press [#], followed by the 2-digit entry for the first letter you would like to display (e.g., 65 for "A").
When the desired character appears, press [6] to select it. The cursor will then move to the right, in position for the
next character. Press [#] plus the 2-digit entry for the next letter of the word.
or
b) Press 3 to advance through the list of symbols, numbers, and letters.
Press 1 to move back through the list.
When you have reached the desired character, press [6] to select it. The cursor then moves to the right, in position
for the next character.

7.

Repeat step 3 to create the desired custom word (or words).
Press [4] to move the cursor to the left if necessary.
Press [7] to enter a blank (or to erase an existing character).
Each word or word string cannot exceed 10 characters.
Save the word by pressing [8].
This returns you to the “CUSTOM WORD?” display. The custom word (or string of words) is automatically added to the
built-in vocabulary at the end of the group of words beginning with the same letter.
Custom words are retrieved as word numbers 245 to 304 for words 1 to 60, respectively, when using method 3a to enter
alpha descriptors.
When using method 3b to enter alpha descriptors, each word appears at the end of the group of words that begin with the
same letter as it does.
Repeat steps 2 through 6 to create up to a maximum of 60 custom words (or word strings).
Exit Custom Word Mode by entering 00 at the “CUSTOM WORD” prompt.

Partition Descriptors
1. Select "Part DESCRIPT." Mode.
The system asks for the partition number desired. Enter the number as a single-key entry 1-8.
2. Follow the same procedure as for custom words.
Note: The partition descriptors are limited to 4 characters (e.g., WHSE for warehouse).

ID #

Enter the 4-digit customer account number, 0001-9999. This ID number will appear in the messages
generated by the radio. Messages generated by the panel and transmitted by the radio will contain the ID
number programmed into the panel. The radio and the panel should have the same ID number, if possible.

(1234)

If a different 4-digit customer account number is used in the radio than is programmed into the alarm control,
the radio will transmit radio-specific messages (power-on reset, AC fail, etc.) using the radio customer
number, and alarm messages using the control panel’s customer number. If these numbers are different,
you will be billed for two AlarmNet radio accounts.

Output Programming
The system supports up to 96 outputs. Outputs can be used to perform many different functions and actions. Each output
must be programmed to begin one of four types of ACTIONS at a designated START event, and end that ACTION at a
designated STOP event. The options used to start and stop these devices are described below, followed by the actual screen
prompts and available entries.
The letter(s) in parentheses after each function described below, such as (A) after ACTION, are those that appear in the
various summary displays of programmed data during programming.
ACTION (A)

START (STT)

The "ACTION" of the device is how the device will respond when it is activated by the "START"
programming. You may want the device to activate momentarily, to pulse on and off continuously, or to
remain activated until some other event occurs to stop it. There are five different action choices:
ACTIVATE for 2 SECONDS and then reset.
•
ACTIVATE and REMAIN ACTIVATED until stopped by some other event.
•
PULSE ON and OFF until stopped by some other event (do not use with an FSA device).
•
NO RESPONSE when the device is not used.
•
TOGGLE on and off alternately with each activation of event.
•
The "START" programming determines when and under what conditions the device is activated. The
following START options are available:
1) EVENT (EV) is the condition (alarm, fault, trouble) that must occur to a zone or group of zones (zone
list) in order to activate the device. These conditions apply only when a zone list is used. The different
choices for "EVENT" are listed below and in “Programming Relays” later in this section.
ALARM
Action begins upon any alarm in an assigned zone in the zone list.
•
FAULT
Action begins upon any opening of an assigned zone in the zone list.
•
TROUBLE
Action begins upon any trouble condition in an assigned zone in the zone list.
•
NOT USED
Action is not dependent upon one of the above events.
•
ZONE LIST (ZL) is a group of zones to which the “EVENT” applies in order to activate a particular
device. Note that there are a total of 15 zone lists that can be programmed; when the selected EVENT
(alarm, fault or trouble) occurs in any zone in the selected “Start” ZONE LIST (01-15), activation of the
selected device will START.
2) ZONE # A specific zone going into alarm, fault, trouble, or restore (Event programming) can be used to
start the relay action. Enter the 3-digit zone number (000-250).
3) ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION (ZT). If all zones to be used to start the device have the same
response type, and there are no other zones of this type that are not to activate this device, then
“ZONE TYPE” may be used instead of a "ZONE LIST" and "EVENT” to activate the device.
If a system operation, such as “DISARMING” or “ANY FIRE ALARM,” is to activate the device, enter
the appropriate choice under the “ZONE TYPE” option.
The “ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION” option functions independently of the “EVENT/ZONE
LIST” combination.
If a specific "ZONE TYPE" is chosen, any zone of that response type going into alarm, trouble, or fault
will cause the device to activate as selected in "ACTION.” If the same “ZONE TYPE” is also chosen for
the STOP programming, any zone of that type that restores will de-activate the device.
If a "SYSTEM OPERATION" is chosen, that operation will cause the device to activate as selected in
"ACTION.” The different choices for "ZONE TYPE" and "SYSTEM OPERATION" are listed in
“Programming Relays” later in this section, and on the Programming Form.
4) PARTITION NO. (P). The device's "Start" ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION may be limited to an
occurrence on one partition (1-8), or any partition (0).

– 35 –

STOP (STP):

The "STOP" programming determines when and under what conditions the device is de-activated. The
following options are available:
1). RESTORE ZONE LIST (ZL). If a "ZONE LIST" is used as the “Stop” event, the device de-activates
when all the zones in that list restore from a previous fault, trouble, or alarm condition. This occurs
regardless of what is programmed to "START" the device; therefore, a "RESTORE ZONE LIST" is
normally only used when a "ZONE LIST" is used to start the device.
2). ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION (ZT). Instead of using a "RESTORE ZONE LIST," you can select
a specific zone (response) type or system operation action to de-activate the device.
If you choose a specific "ZONE TYPE," any zone of that response type that restores from a previous
alarm, trouble, or fault condition will cause the device to de-activate.
If you choose a "SYSTEM OPERATION," that operation causes the device to de-activate. The
different choices for "ZONE TYPE" and "SYSTEM OPERATION" are listed in “Programming Relays”
later in this section, and in the Programming Form.
3) PARTITION NO. (P). The device's "Stop" Zone Type/System Operation may be limited to an
occurrence on one partition (1-8), or on any partition (0).
The “ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION” option functions independently of the
“RESTORE/ZONE LIST” combination.

Relay Voice Descriptors
If you are using the 4285/4286 VIP Module, voice descriptors can be programmed for outputs 1-32 (even though the system
has 96 outputs, only 1-32 can have a Relay Voice Descriptor programmed). These descriptors are announced by the voice
module when you access the relays via the # 70 Relay Access Mode over the telephone.
Each voice descriptor can consist of up to 3 words selected from the Relay Voice Descriptors and Custom Word Substitutes
Vocabulary list (later in this section).
The index numbers from this vocabulary list are to be used for relay voice descriptors only. For normal
system voice annunciation (e.g., alarms, troubles, status), use the highlighted words in the alpha vocabulary
list in the Alpha Programming part of this guide.
To enter relay voice descriptors, do the following:
1. From Data Field Programming mode, press #93 to display the "ZONE PROG?" prompt.
2. Press [0] (NO) to each menu option until the "RLY VOICE DESCR?" prompt is displayed. Follow the instructions below.

Custom Word Substitutes for VIP Module Annunciation
A substitute word can be programmed for each of the 60 custom words used in your alpha zone descriptions. The VIP Module
announces this substitute word in place of the custom word that is displayed on the alpha keypad. For example, an alarm
display of "John's Bedroom" could be announced as "Son's Bedroom," as there is no annunciation for the custom word "John."
Note that if a substitute word is not assigned, the VIP Module will not annunciate the zone descriptor at all, but will only
annunciate the zone number.
To enter custom word substitutes, do the following:
1. From Data Field Programming Mode, press #93 to display the "ZONE PROG?" prompt.
2. Press [0] (NO) to each menu option until the "CUSTOM INDEX ?" prompt is displayed.

System Layout Worksheets
Before programming any security system, you should first define the installation. To help you lay out a partitioned
system, use the following worksheets. This will further simplify the programming process.
NOTE: All references in this manual for number of zones, number of user codes, number of access cards, and the
event log capacity, use the VISTA-250BP’s features. See page 2 of this manual for the table listing the differences
between the VISTA-128BP and the VISTA-250BP control panels. All other features are identical, except for the Remote
Keypad Sounder (field 1✴46 option 2), which is available only in the VISTA128BP.
