Recommendations for Proper Protection
The Following Recommendations For The Location Of Fire And Burglary Detection Devices Help Provide
Proper Coverage For The Protected Premises.
Recommendations For Smoke And Heat Detectors
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations
contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all
rooms and areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detector should be
installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and on each additional floor of a multi-floor
family living unit, including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics
(finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended.
For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the
living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage
rooms, basements and attached garages.
In addition, we recommend the following:
Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly or
completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway
outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.
• Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portable heaters,
air conditioners or humidifiers) are used.
• Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12
meters) long.
• Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any room where alarm
control connections to an AC source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire
within the room could prevent the control from reporting a fire or an intrusion.
Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or
commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a
multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still
be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm
signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).
ULThis control complies with NFPA
requirements for temporal pulse
sounding of fire notification devices.

How To Use This Manual
This manual is written to accommodate both the new and the experienced installer of
ADEMCO products. A general description of the entire system is located at the beginning of
the manual, followed by the basics of programming. The wiring and physical setup of the
hardware follows.
The sections at the core of the manual include both hardware setup and programming
requirements of each device to make that specific device operational in the system. A
checkout procedure is included at the end of each section. We recommend this method to
ensure that each device is working properly before proceeding to the next section. It must
also be used if you are making a particular addition to the system of one of these devices.
Each of the sections covering the installation of peripheral devices includes the programming
for that device. If you are an experienced user of ADEMCO products, you may choose to wire
and then program the entire system at once. If so, refer to The Mechanics of Programming
section and the Data Field Descriptions section after the hardware setup is complete. A blank
pull-out programming form is included with this manual.
Without an understanding of the programming methodology, you will not be able to
successfully perform the required programming in each of these sections. We therefore urge
you to read the Mechanics of Programming section before any programming is performed.

General
The VISTA-128FB is an 8-partition, UL listed commercial fire and burglary control panel
that supports up to 128 zones using basic hardwired, polling loop, and wireless zones. It also
includes zones for supervision of bells, phone lines, keypads, RF receivers, and relays. In
addition, the control offers scheduling capabilities and allows certain operations to be
automated by pressing a single button. The system has the capability to interface with an
alpha numeric paging device and also an ECP long range radio unit that can send Contact ID
messages. The control can be connected to the ADEMCO PassPoint system (via the Vista
Gateway Module) to provide a fully integrated security and access control system.

ULWireless devices may not be used in UL commercial burglary installations. UL Listing of the
5808 Smoke Detector for commercial fire installations is pending.
For specific information regarding number of wireless zones supported by each RF receiver, see
the
Wireless Zone Expansion
section.
System Zones
Provides zones for supervision of all peripheral devices (keypads, RF receivers, and relay
modules) and individual relays, as well as system zones (bells, dialers (telephone lines), earth
ground, keypad panics, etc.). Zone assignments are as follows:
Individual Relay Zones 601-632
Peripheral Device Zones 800-831
System Zones 970-999
(See the Zone Index section for a full explanation of these zones and specific zone
assignments.)
Maintenance Signal Support
The control monitors maintenance signals from certain smoke detectors (5808, 4192CPM,
4192SDM, 4192SDTM). Maintenance signals are triggered when a smoke detector gets dirty,
and indicate that the detector should be cleaned or replaced. If a detector maintains a high
or low sensitivity condition for longer than 24 hours, the control sends a Dialer report
(Trouble message for non-Contact ID reports; Event Code 385 or 386 for Contact ID reports),
makes an event log entry, and displays “HSENS xxx” or “LSENS xxx” at the keypads (xxx =
zone number).
NOTE: 5808 Wireless Smoke Detectors report high sensitivity regardless of whether the
condition is actually high-sensitivity or low-sensitivity.
8 Partitions
Provides the ability to control 8 separate areas independently, each functioning as if it had
its own separate control. Partitioning features include:
A Common Lobby partition (1-8), which can be programmed to arm automatically when
the last partition that shares the common lobby is armed and to disarm when the first
partition that shares the common lobby is disarmed
Section 1 - General Description

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Theory of Partitioning
This system provides the ability to arm and disarm up to 8 different areas, as if each had its
own control. These areas are called partitions. Partitions are used to disarm certain areas
while leaving other areas armed, or to limit access to certain areas to specific individuals.
Each system user can be assigned to operate any or all partitions, and can be given a
different authority level in each.
Before anything can be assigned to those partitions, you must first determine how many
partitions are required (1-8).
Following are some facts you need to know about partitioning.
Keypads
Each keypad must be given a unique "address" and be assigned to one partition (it can also
be assigned to Partition 9 if Master keypad operation is desired. (See “Master Keypad Setup
and Operation” later in this section).
Zones
Each zone must be assigned to one partition.
The zones assigned to a partition will be displayed on that partition's keypad(s).
Fire zones must be assigned to Partition 1.
Users
Each user may be given access to one or more partitions. If a user is to operate more than
one partition and would like to arm/disarm all or some of those partitions with a single
command, the user must be enabled for global arming for those partitions (when entering
user codes).
A user with access to more than one partition (multiple access) can "log on" to one partition
from another partition's keypad, provided that program field 2*18: Enable GOTO is enabled
for each partition he/she wants to log on to from another.
A partition can be selected as a "common lobby" partition, and other partitions can affect this
partition by causing arming/disarming of this partition to be automated (see “Common Lobby
Logic” later in this section).
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
2-2
Setting Up a Partitioned System
The basic steps to setting up a partitioned system are described below. If you need more
information on how to program the prescribed options, see The Mechanics of Programming
section as well as each corresponding section's programming procedure.
1. Determine how many partitions the system will consist of (programmed in field 2*00).
2. Assign keypads to partitions (Device Programming Mode in #93 Menu Mode).
3. Assign zones to partitions (Zone Programming Mode in #93 Menu Mode).
All fire zones must be assigned to Partition 1 to ensure that all Fire Test modes operate correctly.
4. Confirm zones are displayed at the keypad(s) assigned to those partitions.
5. Assign users to partitions.
6. Enable the GOTO feature (program field 2*18) for each partition a multiple-access user
can log on to (alpha keypad only).
7. Program partition-specific fields (see the Data Field Descriptions section).
Common Lobby Logic
When an installation consists of a partition shared by users of other partitions in a building,
that shared partition may be assigned as the "common lobby" partition for the system
(program field 1*17). An example of this might be in a medical building where there are two
doctors’ offices and a common entrance area (see example that follows explanation).
This option employs logic for automatic arming and disarming of the common lobby. Two
programming fields affect the way the common lobby will react relative to the status of other
partitions. They are: 1*18 Affects Lobby and 1*19 Arms Lobby.
1*18 Affects Lobby (must be programmed by partition)
Setting this option to 1 for a specific partition causes that partition to affect the operation of
the common lobby as follows:
a. When the first partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby will also be
disarmed.
b. The common lobby cannot be armed unless every partition selected to affect the lobby
is armed.
c. Arming the last partition that affects the lobby will not cause the system to
automatically attempt to arm the lobby.
1*19 Arms Lobby (must be programmed by partition)
Setting this option to 1 for a specific partition causes that partition to affect the operation of
the common lobby as follows:
a. When the first partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby will also be
disarmed.
b. The common lobby cannot be armed unless every partition selected to affect the lobby is
armed.
Section 2 – Planning a Partitioned System
2-3
c. Arming the partition that is programmed to arm the lobby will cause the system to
automatically attempt to arm the lobby. If any faults exist in the lobby partition, or
another partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby cannot be armed, and the
message "UNABLE TO ARM LOBBY PARTITION" will be displayed.
You cannot select a partition to "arm" the lobby unless it has first been selected to "affect"
the lobby. Enable field 1*18 before enabling field 1*19.
The following chart sums up how the common lobby partition will operate, if different options
are set for another partition in fields 1*18 and 1*19.

Here is an example of how the lobby would react in a typical setup.
MAIN ENTRANCE
OFFICE #1 OFFICE #2
COMMON LOBBY
User #1 has access to Office #1 and the Common Lobby.
User #2 has access to Office #2 and the Common Lobby.
Office #1 is set up to affect the Common Lobby, but not arm it.
Office #2 is set up to affect and arm the Common Lobby.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
2-4
In the tables below, the notations in parentheses ( ) indicate the current status of the other
partition when the user takes action.
Sequence #1:
Office 1 Office 2 Lobby Action
User #1: Disarms (Armed) Disarms
User #2: (Disarmed) Disarms No Change
User #1: Arms (Disarmed) No change
User #2: (Armed) Arms Arms
Sequence #2:
Office 1 Office 2 Lobby Action
User #2: (Armed) Disarms Disarms
User #1: Disarms (Disarmed) (No change)
User #2: (Disarmed) Arms No Change
User #1: Arms (Armed) No Change
Notice that in sequence #1, since Office #2 was the last to arm, the lobby also armed (Office
#2 is programmed to affect and arm the lobby). In sequence #2, the lobby could not arm
when Office #2 armed, because Office #1, which affects the lobby, was still disarmed.
When Office #1 armed, the lobby still did not arm because Office #1 was not programmed to
arm the lobby. User #1 would have to arm the lobby manually. Therefore, you would want
to program a partition to affect and arm the lobby, if the users of that partition are expected
to be the last to leave the building.
Do not
assign Partition 1 as the common lobby. All fire zones should be assigned to this partition
to ensure that all fire test modes operate correctly.
How User Access Codes Affect the Common Lobby
Codes with Global Arming
If a code is given "global arming" when it is defined (see the User Access Codes section), the
keypad will ask "Arm all?" or "Disarm all?" whenever the user tries to arm or disarm the
partitions he has access to from an alpha keypad. This allows the user to choose the
partitions to be armed or disarmed, and so eliminates the "automatic" operation of the lobby.
Keep in mind, however, that if attempting to arm all, and another "affecting" partition is
disarmed, the user will not be able to arm the lobby, and the message "UNABLE TO ARM
LOBBY PARTITION" will be displayed.
Codes with Non-Global Arming
If arming with a non-global code, the lobby partition operation will be automatic, as
described by fields 1*18 and 1*19.
Section 2 – Planning a Partitioned System
2-5
Other Methods of Arming/Disarming
Lobby logic remains active when arming or disarming a partition that affects and/or arms the
common lobby in one of the following manners:
Quick-Arm
Keyswitch
Wireless Button
Wireless Keypad
Arming/Disarming Remotely
If arming or disarming remotely (through V-LINK or Compass downloading software), the
lobby will not automatically follow another partition that is programmed to arm or disarm
the lobby. The lobby must be armed separately, after arming all affecting partitions first.
Auto-Arming/Disarming
If scheduling is used to automatically arm and/or disarm partitions, the common lobby
partition will not automatically follow another partition that is programmed to arm or
disarm the lobby. The lobby must be included as a partition to be armed/disarmed and must
be scheduled as the last partition armed.
If using auto-arming, make sure that the Auto-Arm Delay and Auto-Arm Warning periods
(fields 2*05 and 2*06) combined are longer than that of any other partition that affects the
lobby. This will cause the lobby to arm last.
Master Keypad Setup and Operation
Although this system has eight actual partitions, it provides an extra partition strictly for the
purpose of assigning keypads as master keypads for the system.
Any keypad assigned to Partition 9 in the Device Programming Mode in #93 Menu Mode will
make that keypad a master keypad. A master keypad reflects the status of the entire system
(Partitions 1-8) on its display at one time. This is useful because it eliminates the need for a
building security officer to log-on to various partitions from one partition's keypad to find out
where an alarm has occurred.
The following is a typical display:
S Y S T E M 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
S T A T U S R R N N A B
Possible status indications include:
A = Armed Away M = Armed Maximum
S = Armed Stay I = Armed Instant
R = Ready N = Not Ready
B = Bypassed/Ready = Alarm Memory/Trouble present
To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter + [Partition No.] (i.e.,
4). This will allow viewing only of that partition. In order to affect that partition, the user
must use a code that has access to that partition. Also, in order for a user of any partition to
log on to Partition 9 to view the status of all partitions, that user must have access to all
partitions. Otherwise, access will be denied.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
2-6
The following would be displayed for a fault condition on Zone 2 (Loading Dock Window) on
Partition 1 (Warehouse) when logging on from a keypad on Partition 9:
WHSE DISARMED
HIT FOR FAULTS
Pressing will cause the following display to appear at Partition 1's keypad(s):
FAULT 002 LOADING
DOCK WINDOW
Additional zone faults will be displayed one at a time. To display a new partition's status,
press + [Partition No.].
The Armed LED on a master keypad will be lit only if all partitions have been armed
successfully. The Ready LED will be lit only if all partitions are "ready to arm." Neither
LED will be lit if only some partitions are armed and/or only some partitions are ready.
The sounder on a master keypad will reflect the sound of the most critical condition on all of
the partitions. The priority of the sounds is as follows:
a. Pulsing fire alarm sounds
b. Steady burglar alarm sounds
c. Trouble sounds (rapid beeping)
Pressing any key on the master keypad or a keypad on the partition where the condition
exists silences the sounder.
A master keypad uses the same panics as Partition 1. Master keypad panics are sent to Partition
1, and will activate on Partition 1. Therefore, panics must be programmed for Partition 1.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
General Information
This control supports features that help minimize false alarms. Most false alarms occur upon
exiting the premises, either due to environmental factors, or because the zone's resistance to
the control may be on the edge of acceptability. We call this condition a "swinger."
Features which prevent false alarms due to these circumstances are:
Exit Error Logic and related reports
Exit Delay Reset
Cross-Zoning
Exit Error Logic and Related Reports
ULThis feature is not suitable for use on a UL commercial burglary installation.
This feature is intended to reduce the incidence of false alarms due to exit doors that are left
open after the exit delay has expired. If this feature is enabled in program field 1*20, the
following will occur:
At the end of the exit delay, if a door is left open or an interior zone is faulted, the system will
start the entry delay period, and will sound the bell(s), siren(s) and keypad sounders for the
duration of entry delay. This gives the user time to re-enter the premises and disarm the
system before exit error occurs.
If the user does not re-enter the premises and disarm the system, the system will bypass the
faulted entry/exit and/or interior zone(s). The rest of the system will be armed. In addition,
the following dialer reports will be sent to the central station if programmed:
Exit Error by User (not sent if using ADEMCO High Speed format)
Exit Error by Zone (Sent as regular alarm if using ADEMCO High Speed format)
Bypass reports
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
3-2
Recent Close Report
Another report, designed to notify the central station that an alarm has occurred within 5
minutes of arming, is called the Recent Close report. This report, as well as the Exit Error
reports, are programmed in Report Code Programming Mode in #93 Menu Mode
Exit Delay Reset
ULThis feature is not suitable for use on a UL commercial burglary installation.
This feature is designed to allow an operator to re-enter the premises to retrieve a forgotten
item without triggering an alarm. This feature is enabled in program field 1*21, and works
in the following way:
When the panel is armed, the normal exit delay begins. After the user exits and the door
closes, the exit delay time is reset to 60 seconds. If, within this 60-second period, the entry
door is re-opened, the panel will restart the exit delay sequence using the programmed exit
delay time. This feature will only be activated once after arming.
Cross Zoning
ULThis feature is not suitable for use on a UL commercial burglary installation.
The Cross-Zoning feature is designed so that a combination of two zones must be faulted
within a 5-minute period of each other to cause an alarm on either zone. This prevents
momentary faults from one of the zones causing an alarm condition. You can select four
"sets" of cross-zones, keeping in mind the following:
Both must protect the same area.
Both must be in the same partition.
A fire zone must only be crossed to another fire zone protecting the same physical area
(see warning below).
Note: The four sets of cross-zones are programmed in data fields 1*22, 1*23, 1*24, and 1*25.
DO NOT cross-zone a fire zone with a burglary zone under any circumstance. A fire zone must
only be crossed to another fire zone and BOTH must be protecting the same physical area (no
walls or partitions separating them). Consult NFPA 72 standard for exact spacing requirements.
As a guideline, we recommend that spacing between fire cross-zones be no farther than 30 ft
.
Section 3 – False Alarm Reduction Features
3-3
Conditions That Affect Cross-Zone Operation
1. In the event of a continuous fault (lasting at least 5 minutes) on one of the paired zones, a
fault on the second zone will cause an alarm immediately.
2. If one of the zones in a pair is bypassed or has a zone response type set to 0, the cross-
zoning feature will not apply.
3. If an entry/exit zone is paired with an interior follower zone, be sure to enter the
entry/exit zone as the first zone of the pair. This will ensure that the entry delay time is
started before the follower zone is processed.
4. If a relay is programmed to activate on a fault of one of the zones, the relay will activate
without the other zone being faulted.
5. If a relay is programmed to activate on either an alarm or trouble, both zones must trip
before the relay will activate, and both zones must restore for the relay to deactivate (if
relay is programmed to deactivate on a Zone List Restore).
Call Waiting Defeat Logic
Although this option does not directly prevent false alarms, it may prevent the central
station from taking action on a potential false alarm. After the panel's initial call to report
the alarm, the panel may attempt to make an additional call, perhaps for a cancel or a zone
restoral. If Call Waiting is not defeated, an operator at the central station attempting to
contact the premises (to verify whether the alarm is valid) would hear the phone ringing
indefinitely and have to dispatch on the call.
This option, enabled in program field 1*42, attempts to defeat Call Waiting on the first
outgoing call attempt to both the primary and secondary numbers. It does this by dialing a
special sequence preceding the phone number (but after the PABX number). The panel will
dial *70 if using TouchTone and 1170 if using rotary.
The panel does not attempt to defeat Call Waiting on each call attempt because the phone
company may not complete the call if the sequence is dialed on a phone line that does not have
Call Waiting.

that the board rests in the slots as indicated.
Swing the base of the board into the mounting clips and secure the board to the cabinet
with the accompanying screws.
Make certain that the mounting screws are tight. This ensures that there is a good ground
connection between the PC board and the cabinet. Also, dress field wiring away from the
microprocessor (center) section of the PC board. Use the 2 loops on the left and right sidewalls of

Connecting the AC Transformer and Battery
This product uses the 1451 Transformer, which must be hardwired into the premises’
electrical system. Therefore, we recommend wiring all zones and expansion modules
according to each section's instructions before powering up the system for programming and
testing. Refer to the Final Power-Up Procedure section for specific instructions on how to
connect the transformer and backup battery.
If desired, you can wire, program, and test each section individually by powering up
temporarily for programming and testing each section before final power-up.
Refer to the Final Power-Up Procedure section for battery standby calculations and battery
selection table.
Panel Earth Ground Connections
1. Connect the earth ground post inside the 1451 enclosure to a good earth ground (use
grounding methods specified in the National Electric Code).
2. Use a green nut (supplied) to secure the wire to the ground post. The earth ground wire
should be the only wire under this nut.
3. Run a 16AWG wire from this post to the panel’s earth ground terminal (terminal 30).
Use a second green nut (supplied) to secure this wire to the ground post. This method of
connection avoids ground loops that may occur when the 1451 and panel are connected to
different earth ground systems.

Keypads That May Be Used
2-line alpha display: 6139 (gray) or 6139R (red) (check with local AHJ for approval of
keypad color)
Up to 16 addressable keypads may be used in the system, independent of auxiliary power
considerations (you may need to use an auxiliary power supply if the 1-amp aux. output
is exceeded)
Wiring to the Keypads
1. Determine wire gauge by referring to the wiring length/gauge chart below.
2. Wire keypads to a single wire run or connect individual keypads to separate wire runs.
The maximum wire run length from the control to a keypad, which is homerun back to
the control must not exceed the lengths listed in the table.
Wire Run Length Table
Wire Gauge Length
#22 gauge 450 feet
#20 gauge 700 feet
#18 gauge 1100 feet
#16 gauge 1750 feet
1. The length of all wire runs combined must not exceed 2000 feet when unshielded quad
conductor cable is used (1000 feet if unshielded cable is run in conduit or if shielded cable is
used).
2. If more than one keypad is wired to a run, then the above maximum lengths must be divided
by the number of keypads on the run (e.g., the maximum length is 225 feet if two keypads are
wired on a #22 gauge run).
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
5-2
3. Run field wiring from the control to the keypads (using standard 4-conductor cable of the
wire gauge determined in step 1).
4. If using only one keypad, it may be connected to either Keypad Port 1 or 2, and must be
mounted on, or within 3 ft. of, the cabinet. If using multiple keypads, connect one to
Keypad Port 2 and mount it on, or within 3 ft. of, the cabinet. Set the main keypad to an
address of 00. (This address cannot be disabled in programming.) Additional keypads
can be mounted where desired, and must be connected to Keypad Port 1 terminals (11,
12, 13, 14), as shown in Figure 5-1. The keypad on Port 2 is electrically isolated from
those on Port 1 and will continue to function even if wiring problems prevent the other
keypads from working properly.
Figure 5-1: Keypad Connections To Keypad Port 1.
Using a Supplementary Power Supply to Power Additional Keypads
The control provides 1 amp of auxiliary standby power for powering keypads and other
devices from the auxiliary power output. Aside from this, the control can support up to 16
peripheral devices (keypads, RF receivers, relay modules, etc.). The backup battery will
supply power to these devices in the event that AC power is lost. A 1-amp load requires a
34.4 AH battery (see the Final Power-Up Procedure section for more information).
When the control’s auxiliary power load for all devices exceeds 1 amp, you can power
additional keypads from a regulated, 12VDC power supply (e.g., Alarm-Saf Model AS/PS5-
BFS-12-UL). Use a UL Listed, battery-backed supply for UL installations.
Connect the additional keypads as shown in Figure 5-2, using the keypad wire colors shown.
Be sure to observe the current ratings for the power supply used.
1. Make connections directly to the screw terminals as shown in
Figure 5-2
. Make no connection
to the keypad blue wire (if present).
2. Be sure to connect the negative (–) terminal on the power supply unit to terminal 12 (AUX )
on the control.

Mounting the Keypads
Mount the keypads at a height that is convenient for the user. Refer to the instructions
provided with the keypad for mounting procedure.
You can either surface-mount or flush-mount keypads (using the 6139TRK Trim Ring Kit).
Refer to the mounting instructions and template included with the keypad and/or trim ring
kit for specific information.
Addressing the Keypads/Preliminary Checkout Procedure
If you want to check that the system is working before connecting field wiring from zones and
devices, do the following:
1. Temporarily connect a 2000-ohm end-of-line resistor across each of the basic hardwire
Zones 1–8, as shown in the Summary of Connections diagram. Without actual zone
wiring or EOL resistors connected, the keypads will not display the “READY” message.
2. Power up the system temporarily.
The keypads will not operate until they are physically addressed and enabled in the system's
Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode
.
3. Set each keypad to an individual address (00-30) according to the keypad's instructions.
Set an alpha keypad for address 00 and other keypads for higher addresses (00 and 01
are enabled in the system's default program). Any keypads set for address 02 and above
will appear blank until they are enabled in the system's program. Each keypad must be
set for a different address.
Keypads set to the Nonaddressable Mode (address 31) will interfere with other keypads (as
well as other devices) connected to the keypad terminals.
4. After addresses are set, the green READY LED should light, and the words
“DISARMED...READY TO ARM” should be displayed on keypads set to addresses 00,
and 01.

5. If the “READY” message does not appear on any of the keypads in the system (in either
of the partitions), or a “NOT READY” message is displayed, check the keypad wiring
connections. Make sure each of the 8 basic hardwired zones has a 2000-ohm resistor
connected across its terminals.
6. When the proper “READY” message is displayed on the keypad(s) addressed at 00, and
01, the system is functioning properly.
7. Do not remove the EOL resistors until you are ready to make connections to the
hardwired zones, to allow for testing (described later in the manual).
If an “OC” or “OPEN CIRCUIT” message is present on the keypad, data from the control is not
reaching the keypad. Please check your wiring.

Wiring 2-Wire Smoke Detectors to Zones 1 and 2
Zones 1 and 2 have the added capability of supporting 2-wire smoke detectors. Each zone
provides enough standby current (2 mA) to power up to sixteen of the smoke detectors listed
below. Each zone provides only enough alarm current (20 mA) to power one smoke
detector in the alarmed state. When assigned zone type 9 or 16, the second entry of a
User Code + OFF sequence at a keypad will interrupt power to these zones to allow detectors
to be reset following an alarm.
1. Connect 2-wire smoke detectors across zone 1 and/or zone 2 terminals (15 through 18) as
shown in Figure 6-1. Observe proper polarity when connecting the detectors.
2. If EOL resistors are presently connected across zone 1 and zone 2 terminals, remove
them. The EOL resistors must be connected across the loop wires of each zone
at the last detector.
2K EOLR resistors must be used on fire zones (standard, discrete 2K EOLR resistors may be
used on burglary and panic zones) and must be connected across the loop wires of each zone at
the last detector.
The alarm current provided by zones 1 and 2 will support only one smoke detector each in the
alarmed state.

ULThese smoke detectors are UL Listed for use with the VISTA-128FB and are the only 2-wire
smoke detectors that may be used.
Wiring 4-Wire Smoke Detectors to Zones 1-8
When programmed for fire warning usage, all zones can monitor 4-wire smoke detectors
(zone types 9, 16), N.O. fire alarm initiating devices (zone types 9, 17), or N.O. sprinkler
system supervisory devices (zone type 18).
You may use as many 4-wire smoke detectors as can be powered from the panel's Auxiliary
Power 1 output without exceeding the output's rating (see the Final Power-Up Procedure
section for auxiliary power ratings).
Auxiliary power to 4-wire smoke detectors is not automatically reset after an alarm, and therefore
must be momentarily interrupted using the built-in auxiliary relay as described below. This allows
the detectors to be reset via the second entry of a User Code + OFF sequence. Field 3*61 Aux
Relay Function must be programmed as a 2.
1. Connect 12-volt power for the detectors as follows: Wire the [+] side of Auxiliary Power
(Terminal 10) to the N.C. contact of the Aux. Relay (Terminal 9). Wire the Pole of the
Aux Relay (Terminal 8) to the [+] Power side of the smoke detector. Connect the [-] side
of the smoke detector to [-] Aux. Power (Terminal 12). Observe proper polarity when
connecting detectors (see Figure 6-2).
ULPower to 4-wire smoke detectors must be supervised with an EOL device (use a System Sensor
A77-716B EOL Relay Module connected as shown in
Figure 6-2
).
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
6-4
Figure 6-2: 4-Wire Smoke Detector Connections (Zones 1-8)
2. Connect detectors (including heat detectors, if used) across terminals of the zone selected.
See Figure 6-2. All detectors must be wired in parallel. Remove the 2000-ohm EOL
resistor if connected across the selected zone terminals. You must connect the EOL
resistor across the loop wires at the last detector.
Compatible 4-Wire Smoke Detectors
Use any UL Listed 4-wire smoke detector which is rated for 10-14VDC operation and which
has alarm reset time not exceeding 6 seconds. Some compatible 4-wire smoke detectors are
listed below.

Fire Alarm Verification for Smoke Detectors
This feature applies to any hardwired or polling loop fire zone set to zone type 16. For 4-wire
smoke detectors, the power must be interrupted by the system's auxiliary relay (field 3*61 =
2). The control panel will “verify” any alarm by resetting the smoke detectors after the first
alarm trigger, and then waiting 90 seconds for a second alarm trigger. If the smoke detector
or thermostat does not trigger again, the control will disregard the first trigger, and no alarm
signal will occur. This feature eliminates false alarms due to electrical or physical transients.
Zone 6 Tamper Configuration
Zone 6 may be used as a tamper loop for the VISTA-128FB Cabinet Door Tamper Switch and
for the ADEMCO AB12 Grade A Burglary Bell Box Tamper Switches and Tamper Liner.
The bell housing's tamper switch and inner tamper linings must also be wired to zone 6.

when only one burglary partition is used. Program it for 24-hr. audible alarm (zone type 7)
when more than one burglary partition is used. Enable the Zone 6 Alternate Tamper
Function (program field 3*17).
When set in this manner, the zone will trigger a trouble when the panel is disarmed and an
alarm when the panel is armed, when the zone senses either an open or a short, or when an
earth ground fault caused by drilling through the AB12 housing is detected. See the
External Sounders section, for information on AB12 bell wiring.
Wiring 2-Wire Latching Glassbreak Detectors To Zone 8
Use zone 8 for connection of compatible 2-wire latching-type glassbreak detectors. Wire as
follows:
1. Connect all detectors in parallel across zone 8 (terminals 26 and 27). See Figure 6-3.
Remove the 2000-ohm EOL resistor if connected across the selected zone terminals. You must
connect the EOL resistor across the loop wires at the last detector.
Figure 6-3: Wiring Latching Glassbreak Detectors to Zone 8
After an alarm, the first code + OFF turns off the siren and disarms the system; the second
code + OFF clears the memory of alarm and resets the glassbreak detector.
Compatible Glassbreak Detectors
Use detectors that meet the following ratings:
Standby Voltage: 5VDC–13.8VDC
Standby Resistance: Greater than 20k ohms (equivalent
resistance of all detectors in parallel)
Alarm Resistance: Less than 1.1k ohms (see note below)
Alarm Current: 2mA–10mA
Reset Time: Less than 6 seconds
The IEI 735L Series detectors have been tested and found to be compatible with these
ratings. You can use up to 50 IEI 735L Detectors connected in parallel.

You can use detectors which exceed 1.1k ohms in alarm, provided they maintain a voltage
drop of less than 3.8 volts in alarm.
Checkout Procedure for Hardwired Zones
After installation of all hardwired zones is complete, each partition of the security system
should be checked as follows:
1. Make certain that all devices and sensors connected to the hardwired zones are not in a
faulted state. Doors and windows with contacts should be closed, PIRs should be covered
(use a cloth to mask them temporarily, if necessary).
2. With all hardwired zones intact, the alpha keypads connected to the system should
display:
DISARMED
READY TO ARM.
If the following is displayed instead, press the [] key to display the faulted zone(s).
DISARMED Press
to show faults
Restore any faulted zone(s) as necessary (also make sure that you have connected a 2000-
ohm EOL resistor across the terminals of unused zones). When the
“DISARMED...READY TO ARM” message is displayed, you can proceed to the next step.
3. Fault and then restore every contact or sensor on each zone individually to ensure that it
is being monitored by the system. Each time a zone is faulted, the keypads in the
partition to which the zone is assigned should display the number of the faulted zone.
Tripping fire and panic zones will cause external sounders to sound and may
trigger the dialer. When each zone is restored, the “READY TO ARM” message should
appear again.
If a zone or zones are not displayed at the correct partition's keypad(s), check both keypad and
zone programming to verify the correct partition assignment.
When you get the proper displays on the keypad(s), the hardwired zones in the system are
functioning properly.

Polling Loop Overview
You can expand the system from the basic 8 zones to up to 128 zones using the built-in 2-
wire polling loop. Each device that is connected to the polling loop has the capability to
communicate with the panel about its status. These devices are called RPMs (Remote Point
Modules). The polling loop provides both power and data to the RPM zones, and is
constantly monitoring the status of all zones enabled on the loop. The maximum current
draw of all devices on the polling loop cannot total more than 128mA (unless using a 4297
Polling Loop Extender Module).
Refer to the list of compatible devices at the end of this section.
Common Characteristics of Polling Loop Zones
Polling loop zones have the following characteristics:
Must use RPM (Remote Point Module) devices
Supervised by control panel
Individually assignable to one of 8 partitions
Individually assignable to bell outputs and/or aux. relay
Polling loop smoke detector LED will latch on the first detector to go into alarm. Clearing
alarm memory clears the latched LED.
Polling loop smoke detector LED periodically flashes to indicate communication with the
control.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
7-2
Wiring/Addressing RPM Devices
All devices on the polling loop must be wired in parallel to the [+] and [-] polling loop
terminals of the control panel (28 and 29). You can wire from device to device, or have
multiple branches connected directly to the control panel in a star configuration, as shown in
Figure 7-1.
Although each polling loop device is wired in parallel, each device has its own unique zone
number (or group of zones if it is a zone expansion device). On some devices, this is
determined by the setting of DIP switches. Other devices have a built-in unique serial
number which must be enrolled into the control as the zone number desired. Set up the
polling loop as follows:
1. Run wires to each device on the polling loop. No individual wire run may exceed the
lengths given in the table to follow. In addition, no more than 64mA may be drawn on
any individual wire run. When a star configuration is used, the total length of all wire
runs combined cannot exceed 4000 ft (2000 ft. if using unshielded wire in conduit or
shielded wire). Twisted-pair is recommended for all normal wire runs.
Maximum Polling Loop Wire Runs
Wire Gauge Max. Length
#22 gauge 650 feet
#20 gauge 950 feet
#18 gauge 1500 feet
#16 gauge 2400 feet
When running polling loop wires, they must not be run within 6" of AC power, telephone, or
intercom wiring. Since the polling loop is carrying data between the control panel and the
devices, interference on this loop can cause an interruption of this communication. The polling
loop can also cause outgoing interference on the intercom or phone lines. If this spacing cannot
be achieved, shielded wire must be used. (Note that the maximum total wire length supported is
cut in half when shielded wire is used.)
2. Wire each device to the polling loop, making sure to use correct polarity when making
connections (refer to the device's instructions). If you are using serial number
devices, and intend to have the control enroll each serial number
automatically, wire no more than 25 of these devices to the control at a time.
Then power up and program them (as described in Zone Programming of the #93 Menu
Mode Programming section) before connecting the next 25. Leave previously enrolled
devices connected.
3. If you intend to manually enter the serial numbers through the keypad or through
V-LINK or Compass downloading software, all the devices may be connected before
powering up to program.
4. Note the polling loop devices that have DIP switches on them. Set each device's DIP
switches for the zone number you are assigning it. Refer to the device's instructions or
the DIP Switch Tables at the end of this manual when setting addresses.
Certain polling loop devices, such as the 4193SN and 4191SN, do not have DIP switches.
Instead, they have embedded serial numbers which must be "enrolled" by the control
during Zone Programming in the #93 Menu Mode.
Section 7 - 2-Wire Polling Loop Expansion
7-3
Certain polling loop devices have a DIP switch which can be used either to select the device's
zone number or to select the enrolling of a unique, embedded serial number by the control panel.
When used with VISTA-128FB, these devices must be set for the serial number mode of
operation.
The 4297 Polling Loop Extender may be used to provide additional polling loop current, to
extend the polling loop wire run length, and/or to provide individual electrically isolated
polling loops. Refer to Figures 7-2a and 7-2b, to follow.
DO NOT use the 4197 Polling Loop Extender module with the VISTA-128FB

Polling Loop Supervision
A short on the polling loop is indicated by a trouble on its supervisory zone (zone 997), and
reports as a trouble condition only. As such, a polling loop should be assigned either zone
type 05 or type 19 if annunciation as a trouble condition is desired.
If a device on the polling loop fails (the panel cannot "see" that device), the partition or
partitions that use that device will display a trouble condition for all zones associated with
that device. If the panel is armed when a device fails, the zones associated with that device
will cause an alarm on the corresponding partition(s).
A trouble on zone 997 will not prevent a partition from being armed, as long as all polling loop
zones on that partition are bypassed.
Checkout Procedure for Polling Loop Zones
After installation of all polling loop zones is complete, each partition of the security system
should be checked as follows:
1. Be sure that all devices and sensors connected to the polling loop are not in a faulted
state. Doors and windows with contacts should be closed, PIRs should be covered (use a
cloth to mask them temporarily, if necessary).
2. With all hardwired and polling loop zones intact, the alpha keypads connected to the
system should display:
DISARMED
READY TO ARM.
3. If the keypad(s) begins beeping and displays the word "CHECK" or "TRBL" along with a
zone or zone numbers, the system either does not see the displayed zone(s) or the
tamper switches are tripped. Please check your DIP switch settings for the zone(s), your
connections, and/or that the covers for the units with tamper switches are in place. Once
the situation has been corrected, enter the [User Code] + [OFF] sequence twice to clear
the trouble.
4. If the following is displayed, press the [*] key to display the faulted zone(s):
DISARMED Press
to show faults
5. Restore any faulted zone(s) as necessary. When the “DISARMED...READY TO ARM
message is displayed, you can proceed to the next step.
6. Fault and then restore every contact or sensor on each zone individually to ensure that it
is being monitored by the system. Each time a zone is faulted, the keypads in the
partition to which the zone is assigned should display the number of the faulted zone.
Tripping fire and panic zones will cause external sounders to sound and may
trigger the dialer. When each zone is restored, the “READY TO ARM” message should
appear again.
If a zone or zones are not displayed at the correct partition's keypad(s), check both keypad and
zone programming to verify the correct partition assignment.

The VISTA-128FB supports wireless zones that may be used exclusively or in addition to
hardwire and/or polling loop zones. The system supports two different wireless systems,
which have many similarities, but notable differences in the programming of the
transmitters for each system.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
8-2
The following receivers may be used with this system. Each supports the number of zones
shown below:
5700 Series
Recvr Zones
4281L up to 4
4281M up to 8
4281H up to 63
5800 Series
Recvr Zones
5881L up to 8
5881M up to 16
5881H up to 128
5881EH up to 128 (use
w/UL864 installations)
In Canada, 5800 systems must use 5882 Series receivers: 5882L/5882H. Information in this
manual relative to the 5881 Receivers applies as well to the 5882 Receivers. 5881 and 5882
Receivers can all use the same transmitters.
RF System Operation and Supervision
The receiver responds to status and alarm signals from wireless transmitters (at
345MHz in the USA; 315MHz in Canada) within a nominal range of 200 feet, and relays
this information to the control.
Each supervised transmitter sends a supervisory signal to the receiver every 70-90
minutes. If, after a programmed interval of time (e.g., 12 hrs), the receiver does not hear
from a particular transmitter, the word “CHECK” or “TRBL” will appear at the
corresponding partition’s keypad(s) accompanied by the zone number in question. The
trouble will not prevent you from arming the panel, but the zone must first be bypassed.
Zones 988 and 990 are used to supervise the RF reception of receivers 2 and 1,
respectively. The reception is supervised for two conditions.
1. If, within a programmed interval of time (defined by program field 1*30), the receiver
does not hear from any of its transmitters. A “CHECK” or “TRBL” message will
appear for zones 988 (2nd receiver) or 990 (1st receiver) if response type 19 is assigned
to these supervisory zones and if programmed, Contact ID event code 333 is sent to
the central station. This message is an indication that the RF receiver is “deaf.” The
fault may be accompanied by a supervision fault for one or more RF transmitters.
2. If, the receiver has detected a condition that may impede proper RF reception (i.e.,
jamming or other RF interference). The control checks the receiver for this condition
every 45 seconds. A “CHECK” or “TRBL” message will appear for zones 988 (2nd
receiver) or 990 (1st receiver) if response type 19 is assigned to these supervisory
zones and if programmed, Contact ID event code 344 is sent to the central station
ULA response type must be programmed for zones 990 (1st receiver) and 988 (2nd receiver) if being
used, for UL commercial fire and burglary installations
The control checks the receiver connections about every 45 seconds. If the panel has lost
communication with the receiver, a “CHECK” or “TRBL” message will appear for the
respective receiver supervisory zone (8 + 2-digit receiver device address; for example,
Device address 05 = supervisory zone 805). Supervisory zones must be programmed for
24-hour trouble (type 19). The “CHECK” or “TRBL” display may be an indication that
the wiring to the receiver is incorrect, or that the DIP switches are not set for the same
address the receiver was assigned to in the control’s Device Programming in the #93
Menu Mode.
Section 8 – Wireless Zone Expansion
8-3
Two identical receivers can be used to provide either a greater area of coverage or
redundant protection.
Any zone from 1 to 63 can be used as a 5700 Series wireless zone. Any zone from 1 to 128
can be used as a 5800 Series wireless zone, with the exception of zone 64 (reserved for a
wireless keypad).
RF System Installation Advisories
1. Place the receiver in a high, centrally located area for best reception. Do not place it on or
near metal objects. This will decrease the range and/or block transmissions.
2. For maximum range, install the RF receiver at least 10 feet from the control panel or any
keypads to avoid interference from the microprocessors in these units.
3. If dual receivers are used:
A. Both must be at least 10 feet from each other, as well as from the control panel and
remote keypads.
B. Each receiver must be set to a different device address. The receiver set to the lower
address is considered the 1st RF receiver for supervisory purposes.
C. The House IDs must be the same.
D. Using two receivers does not increase the number of transmitters the system can
support (63 zones using 4281H; 128 zones using the 5881H, plus a wireless keypad).
Installation and Setup of the 4281/5881 RF Receivers
1. Mount the receiver. Receivers must be mounted externally to the control and can detect
signals from transmitters within a nominal range of 200 feet. Take this into
consideration when determining mounting location.
2. Connect the receiver’s wire harness to the Keypad 1 terminals (11, 12, 13, 14). Plug the
connector at the other end of the harness into the receiver.
3. Refer to the Installation Instructions provided with the receiver for further installation
procedures regarding antenna mounting, etc.

4. Set the receiver’s DIP switches for an address (01-07) which is not being used by another
device (i.e., keypads, relay modules, etc.).
Take note of the address you select for the RF receiver, as this address must be enabled in the
system’s
Device Programming
in the
#93 Menu Mode Programming
section).
Installing the 5800TM Module
Installation of this module is necessary only if you are using one or more 5827BD Wireless
Bi-directional keypads.
The 5800TM must be located next to the 4281 or 5881 Receiver (between one and two feet
from the receiver’s antennas). The 5800TM must not be installed within the control cabinet.
Mount the unit using its accompanying mounting bracket.
5800TM Wiring Connections
Connect the 5800TM to the control panel’s keypad connection terminals, using the supplied
connector with flying leads, as follows:
WIRE TERMINAL ON CONTROL
RED (+12VDC) Terminal 11
BLACK (Ground) Terminal 12
GREEN (Data to Control) Terminal 13
YELLOW (Data from Control) Terminal 14
BLUE: Not Used
Cut the red jumper for Address Setting 28; cut the white jumper for Address 29; cut both
jumpers for Address 30.
This address must be enabled in the control’s
Device Programming
as a keypad and then
assigned to a partition, (see
#93 Menu Mode Programming
section).
For additional information, refer to the 5800TM’s instructions.
House ID Sniffer Mode
This mode applies only to 5700 Series systems, or, if you are using a wireless keypad
(5827/5827BD), in a 5800 Series system.
5700 Series receivers respond only to transmitters set to the same House ID (01-31)
programmed into the control panel. This prevents system interference from transmitters in
other nearby systems. Use the House ID Sniffer Mode to make sure you do not choose a
House ID that is in use in a nearby system. To enter this mode, proceed as follows:
1. Enter [Installer Code] + [#] + [2].
2. The receiver will now “sniff” out any House IDs in the area and display them. Keep the
receiver in this mode for at least 2 hours to give a good indication of the House IDs being
used. Use a House ID that is not displayed.
3. To exit the Sniffer Mode, simply enter your [Installer Code] + OFF.
4. If you need to re-program the House ID of the receiver, do so before proceeding.
Section 8 – Wireless Zone Expansion
8-5
Since Sniffer Mode effectively disables RF point reception, Sniffer Mode cannot be entered while
any partition is armed.
5700 Series Transmitter Setup
Each 5700 Series transmitter has DIP switches to set both the transmitter’s zone number
(Transmitter ID) and the system House ID. The House ID will be the same for all
transmitters and must match the House ID programmed into the system for the RF receiver.
This can be likened to a family in which everyone has the same last name (House ID), but
each person has a different first name (Transmitter ID). The zone number must then be
programmed into the system using Zone Programming in the #93 Menu Mode.
Transmitter Supervision
Each transmitter (except 5701 and 5727) is supervised by a check-in signal that is sent to
the receiver at 70-90 minute intervals. If at least one check-in is not received from a
transmitter within a certain period of time (programmed in field 1*31), the keypad will
display the zone number and “CHECK.”
Each transmitter (including 5701 and 5727) is also supervised for low battery conditions,
and will transmit a low battery signal to the receiver when the battery has
approximately 30 days of life remaining. The keypad will display the transmitter number
and “LO BAT.”
Transmitter Battery Life
Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last from 4 to 7 years, depending on the
environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. External factors such as
humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may reduce
the actual battery life in a given installation. The wireless system can identify a true low
battery situation, thus allowing the dealer or user of the system time to arrange a change
of battery and maintain protection for that given point within the system.
Unsupervised transmitters should be periodically tested by the installer for battery life
(i.e., 5701).
After replacing a low or dead battery, activate the transmitter and enter the User Code +
OFF to clear its memory of the low battery signal.
Installing the Transmitters
A variety of RF system transmitters can be used to make up the wireless zones. These
include window/door units, smoke detectors, PIRs, and panic buttons. Zone number
assignments can be from 1 to 63.
1. Set the DIP switches on each 5700 Series transmitter to the appropriate zone number
and House ID. Refer to the Compatible Transmitters Table for zone numbers and
programming information for each particular transmitter.
2. Install each transmitter in accordance with the instructions provided with the
transmitter.
Before permanently mounting the transmitters, make sure reception of each transmitter’s signal at
the proposed mounting location is adequate. To do this, perform a Go/No Go Test, which is
described later in this section.
3. Program the transmitters using the Zone Programming in the #93 Menu Mode.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
8-6
Wireless Zone Assignments for 5700 Series Transmitters
Each RF zone can be assigned any zone response type, such as entry/exit, interior, perimeter,
etc. (see the Zone Types Definitions section for explanations of each zone type). For 5700
Series transmitters, each response type uses a certain range of zone numbers. Each range of
zone numbers is indicated below:
Zone Type Trans/Zone #
Entry/Exit Burglary 1 through 47
Perimeter Burglary 1 through 47
Interior Burglary 1 through 47
Fire 48 through 63
through 55 * (use 5706)
24-Hour Panic
(silent or audible) 48 through 63
62 or 63 ** (use 5701)
Day/Night Burglary 1 through 47
24-Hour Auxiliary 1 through 47
Note that zones 1-63 can be used, but have the following limitations:
1. Transmitters set for zones 48-55 will transmit once every 12 seconds while the zone is
faulted. Transmitters set for zones 56-63 will transmit once every 3 seconds while
faulted. These two ranges of zone numbers could adversely affect transmitter battery life.
2. Transmitters set for an ID of 32 through 47 will have a 3-minute lockout between
transmissions. Use this last range of zone ID numbers for sensors protecting frequently
used doors or windows to conserve battery life.
* Transmitter IDs 48 through 55 have highest signal priority.
** Transmitter IDs 62 and 63 are unsupervised to allow removal of the 5701 off
premises – signal priority is lower than that of fire, but higher than burglary.

ULThe 5711, 5715, and 5716 do not supervise their loop wiring. Therefore, the loop wiring may not
exceed 3 feet.
5800 Series Transmitter Setup
5800 Series transmitters have built-in serial numbers that must be enrolled by the system
using the # 93 Menu Mode Programming, or input to the control via the downloader. 5800
Series transmitters (except 5827, described separately) do not have DIP switches.
Each transmitter’s zone number is programmed into the system in # 93 Menu Mode. Some
transmitters, such as the 5816 and 5817, can support more than one “zone” (referred to as
loops or inputs). On the 5816, for example, the wire connection terminal block is Loop 1, the
reed contact is loop 2. Each loop must be assigned a different zone number.
For button-type transmitters (wireless keys), such as the 5804, 5804BD, 5803, and 5801, you
must assign a unique zone number to each individual button used on the transmitter. Each
button on the transmitter also has a pre-designated loop or input number, which is
automatically displayed when enrolled.
Transmitter Supervision
Except for some transmitters that may be carried off premises (5802, 5802CP, 5803, 5804,
5808BD, 5827, and 5827BD), each transmitter is supervised by a check-in signal that is sent
to the receiver at 70–90 minute intervals. If at least one check-in is not received from each
supervised transmitter within a programmed period (field 131), the “missing” transmitter
number(s) and “CHECK” or “TRBL” will be displayed.
The supervision for a particular transmitter that may be carried off the premises (5801,
5802MN) may be turned off by enrolling it as a “UR” (unsupervised RF) type, as described
later in this manual.
Some 5800 Series transmitters have built-in tamper protection and will annunciate a
“CHECK” or “TRBL” condition if covers are removed.
Section 8 – Wireless Zone Expansion
8-9
Transmitter Input Types
All of the transmitters described have one or more unique factory-assigned input (loop) codes.
Each of the inputs requires its own programming zone (e.g., a 5804’s four-button inputs
require four programming zones).
Transmitters can be programmed as one of the following types:
Type Description
RF
(Supervised RF)
Sends periodic Check-in signals, as well as Fault,
Restore, and Low Battery signals. The transmitter must
remain within the receiver’s range.
UR
(Unsupervised RF)
Sends all the signals that the RF type does, but the
control does not supervise the Check-in signals. The
transmitter may therefore be carried off-premises.
BR
(Unsupervised Button RF)
These only send Fault signals. They only send Low
Battery signals when they are activated (button pressed).
The transmitter may be carried off-premises.
Transmitter Battery Life
Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last from 4 to 7 years, depending on the
environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. Factors such as
humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature may all
reduce the actual battery life in a given installation.
The wireless system can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing the dealer or
user of the system time to arrange a change of battery and maintain protection for that
given point within the system.
Some transmitters (e.g., 5802, 5802CP, and 5803) contain long-life but nonreplaceable
batteries. At the end of their life, the complete unit must be replaced (and a new serial
number enrolled by the control).
Button-type transmitters, (e.g., 5801, 5802, 5802CP & 5803), should be periodically
tested by the installer for battery life.
Do not install batteries in wireless transmitters until ready to enroll. After enrolling, batteries need
not be removed.

Checkout Procedure for Wireless Zones
Transmitter ID Sniffer Mode
Use the Transmitter Sniffer Mode to test that transmitters have all been properly
programmed.
1. Enter [Installer Code] + [#] + [3]. Keypad(s) will display all zone numbers of wireless
units programmed for that partition.
2. Fault each wireless zone, causing each device to transmit. As the system receives a
signal from each of the transmitters, the zone number of that transmitter will
disappear from the display.
A transmitter not "enrolled" (5800 Series) or whose DIP switch is not set correctly (5700 Series)
will not turn off its zone number.
3. To exit the Transmitter Sniffer Mode, enter [Installer Code] + [1].
Be sure to perform the Transmitter Sniffer Mode Test for every partition that has wireless
transmitters programmed.
Go/No Go Test Mode
Before mounting transmitters permanently, conduct Go/No Go Tests to verify adequate
signal strength and reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary.
Make sure that all partitions are disarmed when performing this test. Since the wireless
receiver gain is reduced, checking in this mode assists in determining good mounting
locations for the transmitters, and verifies that the RF transmission has sufficient signal
amplitude margin for the installed system.
1. Enter [Installer Code] + [5].
Note: For multi-partition systems, make sure all partitions are disarmed before entering
this mode.
2. Once transmitters are placed in their desired locations and the approximate length of
wire to be run to sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw terminals, fault each
transmitter.
Note: Do not conduct this test with your hand wrapped around the transmitter, as this will
cause inaccurate results.
If a single receiver is used, the keypad will beep three times to indicate signal
reception. If two receivers are used, the keypad will beep once if the first receiver
received the signal, twice if the second receiver received the signal, and three times if
both receivers heard the signal (which is desirable for redundant configurations).
If the keypad does not beep, reorient or move the transmitter to another location.
Usually a few inches in either direction is all that is required.
3. Mount the transmitter according to the instructions provided with the transmitter.
4. Exit the mode by entering [Installer Code] + [1].

Relay Basics
Wiring the 4204 and 4204CF Relay Modules
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Relay Basics
Relays, used in conjunction with this control panel, are programmable switches that can be
used to perform many different functions. They can be used to turn lights on and off, control
sounders and doors, or for status indications. In this system, each device must be
programmed as to how to act (ACTION), when to activate (START), and when to deactivate
(STOP). Each of these is described in Relay Programming in the #93 Menu Mode
Programming section.
This control supports up to eight 4204 or sixteen 4204CF Relay Modules. Each 4204 Module
provides 4 relays with Form C (normally-open and normally-closed) contacts. This means
you can program up to 32 relays to activate and de-activate, as desired. Each 4204CF
Module adds two additional style-Y supervised bell outputs to the system. If 4204CF
Modules are used, only relays 1 and 3 on each module can be programmed. The other 2
relays (relays 2 and 4) on each module are used for supervision purposes.
This section is used to program relays to activate in response to a programmed condition (i.e.,
an alarm, fault of a zone, etc.). The system can also be programmed to activate relays at specific
times of day by using the #80 Scheduling Menu Mode–Time Driven Events function.
Wiring the 4204 and 4204CF Relay Modules
1. Set the 4204 or 4204CF's DIP switches for a device address between 01 and 15 that is not
being used by another device (keypads, RF receivers, etc.).
The relay module will not operate until the device address you have chosen is enabled in the
control's
Device Programming
in the
#93 Menu Mode Programming
section.
2. Mount the 4204 and 4204CF Modules as per the instructions provided with these
modules. Connect the 4204/4204CF Module(s) to the control's Keypad 1 terminals (11-
14) when mounted remotely from the control (they may be wired to Port 2 when mounted
on or within the control's cabinet). Use the flying lead cable or the screw terminals
provided with each relay module to make connections.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
ULThe 4285/4286 VIP Module is not permissible for commercial fire or UL commercial burglary
installations.
General Information
The 4285/4286 VIP Module is an add-on accessory that permits the user to access the
security system (and relays) via a TouchTone telephone, either from the premises or by
calling the premises from a remote location. Only one VIP Module can be used in a security
system. This module must be enabled as Device Address 4 in Device Programming in the
#93 Menu Mode Programming section, and must be assigned to a partition.
The 4285/4286 VIP Module offers the following features:
Allows the user to receive synthesized voice messages over the phone regarding the
status of the security system.
Allows the user to arm and disarm the security system and perform most other
commands using the telephone keypad.
Allows the user to control relays using the telephone keypad.
Provides voice annunciation over the phone to confirm any command that is entered.
Announces many of the same words that would normally be displayed on an alpha
keypad under the same system conditions. Refer to the words in bold on the Alpha
Vocabulary list found in the #93 Menu Mode Programming section.
Can be supervised for connection to control panel (annunciated and reported as zone
804).
Detailed operating instructions for phone access to the security system are provided with the VIP
Module. In addition, a
Phone Access User's Guide
is supplied with the VIP Module for the user
of the system.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
10-2
Mounting the VIP Module
The VIP Module may be mounted in the control cabinet if space is available or, if this is not
possible, on the side of the cabinet or adjacent to it. Pry off the VIP Module's cover prior to
wiring.
1. When the VIP Module is mounted inside the control cabinet, attach it to the cabinet's
interior surface with 2-faced adhesive tape. You may leave the module's cover off if it is
mounted within the cabinet.
Do not mount the VIP Module on the cabinet door or attempt to attach it to the PC board.
2. When the module is to be mounted outside the cabinet, use the screw holes at the rear to
mount horizontally or vertically (2-faced adhesive tape may be used, if preferred). You
can bring wires out from the side or back (a round breakout is also available on the back).
When you complete the module's mounting and wiring, you should install the module's
cover (with label affixed, as indicated next).
3. Affix the 4285/4286 connections label (supplied separately) to the inside of the VIP
Module's cover if the cover is used. Otherwise, affix the label to the inside of the control
cabinet's door.
Wiring the VIP Module
The 4285/4286 is wired between the control panel and the premises’ handset(s) (see Figure
10-1). It listens for touch tones on the phone line and reports them to the control panel.
During on-premises phone access, it powers the premises’ phones; during off-premises phone
access, it seizes the line from the premises’ phones and any answering machines.
1. Make 12V (+) and (–) and data-in and data- out connections from the VIP Module to the
control, using the connector cable supplied with the VIP Module. These are the same
connections as for remote keypads.
2. Insert the keyed connector at the other end into the mating header on the VIP Module.
3. Connect terminals 1 through 7 on the VIP Module as shown.
Terminal Block Connections
4285/4286 Terminal Connects to:

ULThe Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) feature is not UL Listed.
General Information
An Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) Module (also known as two-way voice), such as the Eagle
1241, is an add-on accessory that permits voice dialog between an operator at a central
station and a person at the alarm installation, for the purpose of alarm verification. This
feature is supported only if Alarm reports are programmed to be sent to the primary phone
number.
Make connections from Eagle 1241 Module terminals 7 and 8 to the control's zone 5
terminals 22 and 23. The purpose of this connection is to silence and restore the sounders at
the premises. It is also used to postpone noncritical dialer reports while the AAV session is
in progress. Note that zone 5 is then no longer available as a protection zone. When using
the AAV, zone 5 must be assigned a zone response type (e.g., response type 10), and option
1*60 must be enabled to silence sounders on the premises.
AAV Module Operation
After all messages have been sent during a reporting session to the primary phone number,
the control will trigger the AAV if at least one of the messages was an Alarm report. If
Contact ID format is selected for the primary phone number, and a Cancel report code is
enabled, the control will send a Listen-in to Follow" message (Event Code 606), which signals
the 685 (rev. 4.6 or higher) to hold the phone connection for 1 minute.
Once triggering occurs, the control will give up the phone line to the AAV Module, without
breaking connection with the central station. During the time the AAV is active, all sirens
and all continuous keypad sounds in all partitions will be shut off. When the AAV indicates
that the audio alarm verification session is completed, all keypad sounds will be restored.
Sirens will be restored if the alarm timeout period has not expired.
As part of its fail-safe software, the control will limit all audio alarm verification sessions to
15 minutes. This is because once the session begins, the AAV Module controls the duration.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
11-2
If a new fire alarm should occur during a session, the control will break the phone connection
and send the new Fire Alarm report, then re-trigger the AAV Mode. All other dialer
messages triggered during ongoing conversation will be held until either the AAV Module
signals that it is inactive, or the 15-minute timeout occurs.
The AAV Module is triggered via the use of a 4204 Relay as shown in Figure 11-1. The start
and stop conditions for that relay must be set to choice 60, "Audio Alarm Verification" during
Relay Programming in the #93 Menu Mode Programming section.
Some AAV modules allow remote triggering by ring detection at the alarm installation. If
this option is selected, it may defeat modem download and 4285/4286 VIP Module remote
access capability. The DIP switch settings shown in Figure 11-1 disable remote AAV Module
trigger option. The control also requires that the AAV Module trigger type is falling edge,
which is set in DIP switch settings shown.
685 Receiver software must be rev. 4.6 or higher. Earlier versions will not hold the phone line
connection.
Contact ID code for "Listen-in-to-follow" is 606. Contact ID is the only reporting format that will
send a "listen-in-to-follow."
Audio Alarm Verification Module Connections
Connect the Audio Alarm Verification Module's falling edge trigger input (terminal 5 on
Eagle Model 1241) to a 4204 Relay Module, as shown in Figure 11-1.
If also using a 4285/4286 VIP Module, be sure to follow the corresponding diagram when making
connections.
Programming Audio Alarm Verification Module Options
1. With at least one 2-line alpha keypad (6139/6139R) wired and set to a proper address,

Remote Keyswitch Operation and Wiring
An optional UL Listed remote keyswitch, such as the ADEMCO 4146, can be used for remote
arming/disarming of the burglary portion of the system and for remotely silencing alarms. If
used, the following must be programmed:
1. Field *15 to assign the keyswitch to a partition (1-8), or 9 to silence fire bell if fire alarm
occurs; enter 0 to disable.
2. Zone 7 must be assigned a non-zero response type.
3. Field 3*20 must be set to "1" if you are using J2/OUT 1 and 5 to operate keyswitch
ARMED and READY LEDs (if keyswitch provides LEDs).
4. *40 to enable Open/Close report for keyswitch.
Wire the keyswitch as shown in Figure 12-3. The tamper switch need not be used for fire or
UL Household Burglary installations. For UL Commercial Burglary installations, the
tamper switch must be wired to zone 8, and zone 8 must be programmed for Day
Trouble/Night Alarm (zone type 5). When the keyswitch is removed from the wall, the
tamper switch will open, causing an alarm or trouble on zone 8, and causing the control to
disable keyswitch operation until the associated partition is disarmed from a keypad.

Keyswitch Operation
The VISTA-128FB allows 2 modes of keyswitch operation. When field *15 is set to a partition
(1-8), the keyswitch operates as follows:
With System Disarmed and No Alarms Present:
A momentary short across zone 7 will arm the partition in the AWAY mode, and a short held
for more than 10 seconds will arm the partition in the STAY mode. A subsequent short will
disarm the partition. The keyswitch LEDs will indicate that the partition has armed (see
table below).
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
12-4
Faulted zones must either be corrected or bypassed before the system will arm.
ULIn commercial fire installations, mount the keyswitch next to a keypad. The keypad will display the
UL-required "FIRE BELL SILENCED" indication when the keyswitch is used to silence a fire alarm.
With Alarms Present:
A momentary short across Zone 7 will silence alarm bell and keypad sounds, and will disarm
the partition if it was armed. The keyswitch LEDs provide a memory of alarm indication (see
table below). A subsequent short across Zone 7 will clear the alarm memory indication and
reset 2-wire smoke and glassbreak detectors (if used).
When field *15 is set to "9," the keyswitch operates as follows:
A momentary short across Zone 7 will silence alarm bell sounds (i.e., turn off Bell 1, Bell 2
and the aux relay if programmed for alarms) only if a fire alarm is present. Outputs will re-
sound automatically if a new fire alarm condition is detected. Burglary alarms will not
trigger the bell output until a User Code + OFF is entered at the keypad. A momentary
short has no effect if there are no fire alarms present. This mode is used when you want to
provide the fire department with keyswitch silence capability without compromising the
burglary system's security.
LED indications are defined as follows:
GREEN RED MEANING
OFF OFF DISARMED & NOT READY
ON OFF DISARMED & READY
OFF ON STEADY ARMED AWAY
OFF SLOW FLASH ARMED STAY
OFF RAPID FLASH ALARM MEMORY
Open/Close reporting for the keyswitch is enabled in field *40, and the keyswitch reports as User
0.
5140LED Indicator Module
An optional 5140LED Indicator Module can be used in municipalities which require
dedicated indicators for communicator fault status. The 5140LED provides the following
indicators:
1. AC POWER:
ON if AC power is present.
OFF if AC power is not present.
Section 12 – J2 Trigger Outputs
12-5
2. COMM FAILURE:
ON if maximum number of attempts were made (field 3*21) to transmit a message to
the central station. Enter [User Code] + OFF following a successful transmission to
turn off.
OFF if normal.
3. DIALER 1 FAULT:
ON if the main dialer line is faulted. Correct problem and then enter [User Code] +
OFF to turn off.
OFF if normal.
4. DIALER 2 FAULT:
ON if the backup dialer line is faulted. Correct problem and then enter [User Code] +
OFF to turn off.
OFF if normal.
If used, program field 3*20 must be set to "2," and the 5140LED Module must be connected
to J2/OUT 1, 3, 4, 5 as shown in the diagram below. It is designed to be mounted into a
standard single-gang electrical box and installed as follows:
1. Pull wires from the panel's J2 connector through an opening in the single-gang box and
splice these wires to the module's flying leads. Solderless splices may be used.
2. Mount the module's PC board onto one side of the PC board retainer bracket (supplied).
3. Slide the PC board retainer bracket into the box and fasten with screws (supplied).
4. Mount the stainless steel decorative cover (supplied) onto the box.

available for all settings of field 3*20. See Figure 12-1 J2 Pin Assignments and Functions
shown earlier for configuration of the J2 triggers.
The open/close, fire alarm, fire supervisory, burglary/audible panic alarm, silent panic/duress
alarm, and trouble triggers are common to all partitions and must be enabled for each
partition (data field 2*20). The open/close trigger is LOW when all enabled partitions are
armed, and HIGH when any enabled partition is disarmed. The remaining triggers are
normally LOW and go HIGH when the corresponding condition occurs in at least one enabled
partition. The fire and burglary/audible panic alarm triggers remain HIGH until a [User
Code] + OFF is entered in all enabled partition(s) which display these conditions. The silent
panic/duress trigger works the same way, except that it is momentary when initiated by
duress. The fire supervisory and trouble triggers remain HIGH until the underlying faults
are corrected and the [User Code] + OFF is entered in all enabled partition(s) which display
these conditions.
Figures 12-5a, b, and c show how to make connections to the 7720, 7720ULF, and 7920SE
Long Range Radios.

NOTES:
1. The 7920SE cabinet is at circuit ground
potential and must be isolated from earth
ground to avoid earth ground faults.
2. Enable trigger supervision pulses (2*21)
when 7920SE mounted more than 3 feet
from control. Run wires from control to
7920SE in conduit and use PVC conduit or
equivalent means to isolate cabinets of
each unit.
Figure 12-5c: Connections to 7920SE Long Range Radio
Event Log Printer Connections
The VISTA-128FB's event log can be printed on a local serial printer. If used, program field
3*19 must be set to "1."
This setting overrides the functions selected for INPUT 1 and OUT 2 made in field 3*20.
Connect a UL EDP Listed serial printer to the J2 connector using an ADEMCO 4100SM
Interface module. Refer to the Event Log Options section for wiring connections, printer
configuration, and a description of the keypad commands which initiate event log printing.
If earth ground fault sensing is enabled:
1. You may get an earth ground fault indication when the 4100SM Module is clipped
directly onto a side-wall of the VISTA-128FB cabinet. If this occurs, use an insulator to
insulate the 4100SM's clip-on bracket from the VISTA-128FB cabinet side-wall. Later
production versions of the 4100SM have the clip-on bracket isolated from the circuit
ground (Terminal 7) and will not have this problem.
2. You may also get an earth ground fault indication if you use a printer (or PC) which has
a 3-prong, grounded power cord. If this occurs, first verify that Pin 1 (chassis ground) is
isolated from Pin 7 (signal ground) on the 4100SM's RS232 connector. Early production
versions of the 4100SM have an unmarked, 3/8' long, bare wire jumper lying near the Pin
1 side of the RS232 connector, which must be cut to isolate these pins. Then verify that
these pins are isolated on your printer's RS232 connector. Follow the instructions
provided with your printer to isolate these pins, if required.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions

Direct Wire Downloading
The VISTA-128FB can be downloaded without using a modem or telephone line, but by using
a 4100SM Serial Module and V-LINK or Compass Downloading Software. This method of
downloading is referred to as DIRECT WIRE downloading. Connect a PC, which runs the
downloading software to the 4100SM Module as specified in the module's instructions.
Connect the 4100SM to the panel's J2 header. Refer to the Downloading Primer section for
wiring connections.
Direct-wire downloading can be initiated by following the procedures described in the
V-LINK or Compass manual.

General Information
Wiring the Long Range Radio to the Control
Programming the Control for the Long Range Radio
Trouble Messages
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
General Information
The control can support the 7820 Long Range Radio (LRR). All messages programmed to be
sent via the phone lines may also be enabled to be sent via the LRR. These messages will be
transmitted in Contact ID format regardless of the format programmed for the control in
fields 45 and 47.
It is recommended that, if possible you use Contact ID format for the main dialer. If Contact ID is
not used, certain types of reports, such as “Listen To Follow” (606)will not be sent at all.
Supervision of the LRR
The data lines between the control and the LRR can be supervised, as well as certain
functions in the radio. If communication is lost or a trouble condition occurs, both the LRR
and the control’s dialer to the central station can be programmed to send a Trouble message.
Note: For complete information, see the Installation Instructions that accompany the radio.
Operation of the LRR
The LRR reporting options are defined by selecting categories of events for each subscriber
ID in fields 58 and 59. The reporting categories are Alarms, Troubles, Bypasses,
Openings/Closing, System Events, and Test. In addition, within an enabled category, the
specific event must be enabled for dialer reporting. If, for instance, zone 10 is enabled to
report, but zone 11 is not, zone 10 will report via the LRR, but zone 11 will not.
The priority of events from most to least important, transmitted from the VISTA-128FB to
the LRR is: Fire Alarms, Panic Alarms, Burglary Alarms, Fire Troubles, Non-Fire Troubles,
Bypasses, Openings/Closings, Test messages, and all other types of reports. The priority
here is based on the assumption that multiple events occur at approximately the same time.
There isn’t an event priority of messages transmitted via the radio to the central station.
Messages are transmitted on a “First In/First out” basis.
There are two subscriber ID’s programmed into the LRR: primary and secondary. These
correspond to the two subscriber ID’s programmed into the control for each partition. If a
subscriber ID for a partition is not programmed (disabling reports to that central station
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
13-2
phone number for that partition), the events enabled for the corresponding subscriber ID in
the LRR will not be transmitted.
If the event is to be reported to both phone numbers, dual reporting, then reporting through
the LRR, will be done in an alternating sequence. The first event in the queue will be
transmitted to the primary radio central station. Then this event will be transmitted to the
secondary radio central station. If the event was reported successfully via the control’s
dialer, it will be deleted from the radio’s transmission queue. The control will then proceed to
the next event in the queue.
If split reporting is selected for the VISTA-128FB, then the LRR will follow that option. The
radio will send the appropriate reports to the primary and secondary central stations.
Wiring the Long Range Radio to the Control
Connect the data in/out terminals and voltage input terminals of the radio to the control’s
keypad connection points, terminals 11, 12, 13, and 14, as shown below.

Programming the Control for the Long Range Radio
The control’s subscriber ID’s can be passed to the LRR and incorporated into the transmitted
data; or the LRR can transmit the subscriber ID programmed in its own EEPROM (see
Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode Programming section).
An option exists to send the reports only via the LRR and bypass the control’s dialer
completely (field 56).
There is an option to stop transmissions via the LRR if communication via the control’s
dialer to the central station was successful (field 57).
The LRR reporting options are defined by selecting categories of events for each subscriber
ID. Field 58 is for selecting the events for the primary subscriber’s ID; field 59 is for
selecting the events for the secondary subscriber’s ID. The reporting categories are: Alarms,
Troubles, Bypasses, Openings/Closings, System Events, and Tests.
The control can be programmed to transmit these reports by partition,
Trouble Messages
The following messages will be displayed on the 6139 (alpha keypad) when a problem exists
in the Long Range Radio:
1. “LRR Battery”: The battery connected to the radio is low.
2. “PLL out of Lock”: The radio has an internal fault and cannot transmit any messages.
3. “Early Power Detect”: RF power is detected without a valid transmission.
LONG RANGE
RADIO
Section 13 – 7820 Long Range Radio

4. “Power Unattained”: Full RF power was never attained.
5. “Frwd. Power Loss”: RF power was not sustained throughout the transmission.
6. “Antenna Fault”: A problem with the antenna has been detected.
7. “LRR CRC is bad”: The radio’s EEPROM is corrupt (the internal CRC is bad.
Items 2 and 3 require factory service.
Items 4 and 5 could be the result of a bad or low battery.
Item 6 check the antenna connection and cable, otherwise, this requires factory service.
NOTE: All these messages will be displayed in conjunction with the “CHECK 8xx” message
which indicates a trouble on the address to which the LRR unit is programmed in the
control.
All of the above events except Antenna Fault will be sent to the event log and reported to the
central station using Contact ID Event Code 333 (expansion device trouble). Antenna Fault
will use Event Code 357. If the tamper is tripped on the LRR, it will use Event Code 341
(expansion device tamper).

Vista Gateway Module Wiring and Programming
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
General Information
The VISTA-128FB is capable of interacting with the ADEMCO PassPoint Access Control
System (PassPoint ACS). The VISTA-128FB processes fire, burglary, arm, disarm, and other
information. The PassPoint ACS processes card reader information and controls the locking
and unlocking of doors. The sharing of information between the two systems is provided by
the Vista Gateway Module (VGM).
The VGM is connected between the ECP bus (keypad terminals) of the control and the
network bus of the PassPoint ACS (see Figure 14-1). The control sends the VGM its status
information, event log entries and entry/exit requests (the inputs are programmed with
response type access point), from keypads, hardwired zones, and rf transmitters. The VGM
then reformats and retransmits this information to the Main Logic Board, (MLB) on the
PassPoint ACS network bus.
The VISTA-128FB is able to control the following on the PassPoint ACS:
Uncommitted relays
Triggers
The PassPoint ACS is able to control the following on the VISTA-128FB:
Relays
Arming/disarming schedules
Macros
Keypad display
Time/date synchronization of the two systems
See the documentation that accompanies the PassPoint ACS for details.
The PassPoint ACS can dedicate some of its inputs for use as regular VISTA-128FB
hardwired zones (the zone response type is ACS). The PassPoint ACS can also utilize the
VISTA’s dialer for reports to the central station.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
General Information
The VISTA-128FB provides two bell circuit outputs for operating fire and burglary alarm
notification appliances. Each bell output is rated as follows: 10VDC - 14VDC, 1.7 amps max.,
power limited. Note that the total alarm current drawn from the Aux Power 1, Aux Power 2,
polling loop, Bell 1, and Bell 2 outputs cannot exceed 2.3 amps for battery-independent
operation. Each output has the following options:
Class B supervision (style-Y) or no supervision
Selectable to activate by individual zone assignments
Selectable for Confirmation of Arming Ding (1-2 sec. sounding to confirm system has
armed)
Selectable to chime when entry/exit or perimeter zones are faulted
Selectable for steady or pulsing output
Selectable for no timeout or timeout of 2-30 minutes
If you purchased a kit containing the PS24 Power Supply Module, you may use this module to
convert one or both VISTA-128FB 12VDC, 1.7A style-Y supervised bell outputs to 24VFW, 1.7A
style-Y supervised bell outputs.
UL1. Burglary bell circuits must be programmed for a timeout of 16 minutes or longer.
2. Commercial fire alarm systems require bell or indicating circuits to be supervised.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
15-2
Bell Circuit Supervision
To supervise bell circuits, do the following:
Install a 2K EOL resistor (Model 610-7, supplied) across the last notification appliance
on each bell output to be supervised.
Program Zones 970 (Bell 1) and 971 (Bell 2) for 24-Hr. Trouble response (zone type 19)
(see Zone Programming in the #93 Menu Mode Programming section).
To unsupervise bell circuits, do the following:
Cut the white jumpers W1 (for Bell 1) and/or W4 (for Bell 2) on the main PCB.
Program zones 970 (Bell 1) and 971 (Bell 2) for a response type of 00 to disable
supervision (see Zone Programming in the #93 Menu Mode Programming section).
Do not install the EOL resistor(s) across the unsupervised output(s).
Wiring Bell Outputs
By default, Bell 1 is set to operate as an unsupervised burglary bell output. You may use
any UL Listed, nonpolarized burglary-indicating device rated for 10-14 VDC operation on
this output. Note that a local burglary Grade A listing requires that a bell in a tamper-
protected housing be used (such as ADEMCO AB12) and that bell wiring be run in conduit.
By default, Bell 2 is set to operate as a supervised fire bell output. Note that the panel
supervises this wiring for open, short and earth ground faults. You may use any UL Listed,
polarized fire-indicating device rated for 10 -14 VDC operation on this output. Observe
polarity when wiring polarized devices.

Relay Functions
The VISTA-128FB provides a built-in Form C relay with contacts rated at 28 VAC/VDC, 2.8
amps max. This relay may be programmed for one of the functions below (determined by
program field 3*61):
Alarm Activation
Trouble/Supervisory Activation
4-Wire Smoke Detector Reset
Battery Saver
These options are described below.
Alarm Activation
(3*61 = 1 or 4): Steady activation in response to an alarm on one, some or all zones, as
selected in Zone Programming in the #93 Menu Mode. If 3*61 = 1, the auxiliary relay
remains active until Aux. Relay Timeout expires or until [User Code] + OFF is entered. This
option can be used to provide a third, unsupervised bell output for supplementary strobes,
sounders, etc. when wired to the Aux. Power 1 output or to a separate power supply as shown
in Figure 16-1. If field 3*61 = 4, the auxiliary relay remains activated until [User Code] + [#]
+ 67 is entered. This option can be used for elevator recall or ventilator shutdown on fire
alarms. By default, the relay is set to activate on alarm zones 1-8 with no timeout (field 3*61
= 1). This usage might be required for a common fire and burglary alarm strobe indicator.
When field 3*61=1, the auxiliary relay can also be programmed to give a brief activation for
confirmation of arming (field 3*57) or for entry/exit or perimeter zone faults while Chime
Mode is active (field 3*59).

Figure 16-1. Auxiliary Relay Used as Unsupervised Bell Output
Trouble/Supervisory Activation
(3*61 = 0): Steady activation in response to any zone or system-related trouble condition or
to any fire supervisory condition. Remains activated until all fault conditions have been
corrected and the [User Code] + OFF has been entered.
4-Wire Smoke Detector Reset
(3*61 = 2): Momentary (6 second) activation at second entry of [User Code] + OFF sequence
which interrupts power to 4-wire smoke detectors connected to hardwired zones (Zones 1-8)
or to polling loop zones, allowing the detectors to be reset following an alarm. Power to 4-
wire smoke detectors should be wired to the auxiliary relay and to the Auxiliary Power 1
output as shown in Figure 16-2.

Battery Saver
(3*61 = 3): When this function is selected, the auxiliary relay will normally be activated (i.e.
N.O. and pole contacts will be connected, N.C. contact will be open) and will de-activate 4
hours after the start of an AC power failure. Using this feature, noncritical loads (such as
supplementary keypads) which do not need to be supported for the full 24-hour battery
backup period can be disconnected from the auxiliary outputs, allowing a smaller-capacity
battery to be used. The relay re-activates within a few seconds after AC power restores.

Dialer Operation
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Dialer Outputs Available
The VISTA-128FB provides one main built-in dialer for communication to the central station
and one optional 5140DLM Backup Dialer, both supervised for voltage and current on the
phone lines.
Telephone Line Connections
Connect the main dialer and backup dialer (if used) outputs to telephone company lines
which provide loop start service using the RJ31X Cables supplied. Do not connect to
telephone company lines which provide ground start service.
The 5140DLM Backup Dialer mounts to the main PCB shield and connects to the main PCB
J3 connector using a ribbon cable (supplied with module) as shown in the Summary of
Connections diagram at the end of this manual.
Connect the earth ground screw on the 5140DLM to the earth ground screw (terminal 30) on
the main PCB using 16 AWG wire.
Cut the blue jumper when the dialer outputs are connected to telephone lines, which have a
telephone company MTU installed.
UL
For Listed fire central station (UL864/NFPA 72) applications, use either a LORRA alone, the main
dialer with the LORRA, or use the main dialer with the 5140DLM Backup Dialer. For Listed fire
remote station (UL864/NFPA72) applications, use the main dialer with the 5140DLM backup
dialer. Telephone line supervision is required for UL commercial fire alarm systems when a dual
line dialer is used for fire signal transmission.
Telephone Line Supervision
The supervision circuits on both dialer outputs will indicate a fault when the tip/ring voltage
falls below approximately 25 volts (13 volts for the main dialer when the main PCB blue
jumper is cut; 13 volts for the backup dialer when its blue jumper is cut) and when handset
current is less than approximately 10 mA.
Faults on the phone lines are displayed as zones 974 (main dialer) and 975 (backup dialer).
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
17-2
DO NOT connect both outputs to the same telephone company line.
1. To prevent the risk of shock, disconnect phone lines at telco jack before servicing the panel.
2. If the communicator is connected to a telephone line inside a PABX, be sure the PABX has a
backup power supply that can support the PABX for 24 hours (central station usage) or 60
hours (remote station usage). Many PABXs are
not
power-backed up, and connection to
such a PABX will result in a communication failure if power is lost
.
Dialer Operation
When only the main dialer is enabled ([1,0] in field 3*30), the VISTA-128FB will attempt to
route all calls over the main output. When both main and backup dialers are enabled ([1,1]
in field 3*30), the VISTA-128FB will attempt to route all calls over the main output until a
fault is detected, at which time it will attempt to use the backup output. Line faults will
result in a “Zone 974-DIALER 1 FAULT” or a “Zone 975-DIALER 2 FAULT” display. The
communicator will make up to 8 attempts to transmit a report to one or both telephone
numbers, depending upon the report routing option programmed. After the eighth attempt,
the communicator will hang up and a “COMM FAIL” will be displayed at the keypad. The
number of dialer attempts are programmed in field 3*21 (default = 8; must be restricted to 3,
4 or 5 attempts if a secondary phone number is programmed).
The system will not switch to the backup dialer unless it detects a fault (low voltage and low
current) on the main telephone line. This means that if a report does not go through on the main
phone line due to a programming error, the backup dialer will not be activated.
The VISTA-128FB will transmit reports in the following order: Alarms (fire, medical/panic,
burglary), Fire Supervisories and Troubles, remaining types of messages. See the System
Communication section for a description of communication formats, the types of messages
transmitted by the panel, and for the dialer programming defaults.

Programming Event Log Options
Event Logging Procedures
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
General Information
This system has the ability to record up to 224 events of various types in a history log. Each
event is recorded in one of six categories with the time and date of its occurrence (if real-time
clock is set). These categories are:
Alarm
Supervisory/check
Bypass
Open/close
System conditions
Test
The log may be viewed (Display Mode) on an alpha keypad, or can be printed (Print Mode) on
a serial printer (connected to the system via a 4100SM Serial Interface Module).
Event Log Printer Connections
The VISTA-128FB's event log can be printed on a local serial printer. If used, program field
3*19 must be set to "1."
This setting overrides the functions selected for INPUT 1 and OUT 2 made in field 3*20.
Connect a UL EDP Listed serial printer to the J2 connector using an ADEMCO 4100SM
Interface Module as shown in Figure 18-1.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
18-2
Figure 18-1: Event Log Printer Connections
The printer must be configured as follows:
7 data bits, even parity, 1 stop bit
300 or 1200 baud (1200 required if alpha numeric pager interface is installed)
Hardware handshaking using DTR signal
The 4100SM Module is supplied with a 10-foot RS232 cable. A longer cable or an extension
cable can be used if the VISTA-128FB and serial printer are separated by more than 10 feet,
but the total cable length should be less than 50 feet.
The 4100SM Module must be connected to the panel using the distance of the trigger cable. The
wires
cannot
be lengthened to mount the module in a remote location.
Most printers either ignore the CTS, DSR, and CD signals, or require them to be high (i.e., 3-
15VDC as measured on RS232 DB25 Connector Pins 5, 6 & 8, respectively, with respect to
Ground Pin 7). The 4100SM Module sets these pins high. If the printer being used will not
operate with these pins high, then clip the blue (CTS), white (DSR), or red (CD) jumpers on
the 4100SM Module to set the corresponding signal floating. Important pins on the RS232C
cable are Pin 3 (data out), Pin 7 (ground) and Pin 20 (DTR - ready).
The DTR signal, as measured at 4100SM TB1, should be high (9.5-14VDC) when the printer
is powered, properly connected, on-line and ready to print. This signal will be low (0-
1.5VDC) when the printer is not powered, not properly connected, off-line or out of paper.
The VISTA-128FB will not send printing data to the printer unless the DTR signal is high.

General Information
Whenever an event occurs on the VISTA-128FB, a message can be sent to a pager. This is
accomplished by using the 4100APG Pager Interface. The 4100APG will dial and send the
information to a paging service. It will transmit to the pager any message programmed to be
sent to the event log printer, even if the printer is not being used.
The types of messages are divided into 6 categories: Alarms; Troubles; Bypasses;
Opens/Closes; System and Test. The VISTA-128FB can be programmed so each type of
message transmits to a different pager. Each type has its own programming field for the
pager phone number and pager ID. Of course, these could be sent to the same pager by
programming those fields with the same pager phone number and ID.
The 4100APG will hang up between each message. Multiple messages will be sent in the
order received. If the 4100APG cannot make contact with the paging service, it will retry up
to 10 times. If the interface loses contact with the VISTA-128FB, it will send a message to
the paging service to notify the user.
The pager interface must be wired to a different phone line than the VISTA-128FB itself.
Otherwise, the communication of both will not function properly.
Mounting the 4100APG
The 4100APG may be mounted in the control cabinet if space is available or, if this is not
possible, on the side of the cabinet or adjacent to it. Pry off the pager interface’s cover prior to
wiring.
1. When the 4100APG is mounted inside the control cabinet, attach it to the cabinet's
interior surface with 2-faced adhesive tape. You may leave the interface's cover off if it is
mounted within the cabinet.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
19-2
Do not mount the 4100APG on the cabinet door or attempt to attach it to the PC board.
2. When the 4100APG is to be mounted outside the cabinet, use the screw holes at the rear
to mount horizontally or vertically (2-faced adhesive tape may be used, if preferred). You
can bring wires out from the side or back (a round breakout is also available on the back).
Wiring the 4100APG
Without the Event Log Printer
The 4100APG connects to the VISTA-128FB via the 4100SM. The 4100SM wires to the J2
connector on the control via the 4142TR Cable. See Figure 19-1.
Connecting the 4100SM to the control:
1. 4142TR to J2 on the control

Connecting the AC Transformer
Use the ADEMCO 1451 Transformer with enclosure (supplied) with the VISTA-128FB
control when the PS24 Power Supply will not be used. This transformer provides 18 VAC/72
VA secondary winding for powering the control. Use the 1451-24 Transformer to power the
VISTA-128FB Control and the PS24 Power Supply module when the PS24 is being used.
This transformer provides an 18VAC, 72VA secondary winding for powering the control; and
a 30VAC, 188VA secondary winding for powering the PS24. The control panel kit that you
purchased will come with the appropriate transformer. Both transformers have a manually
resettable circuit breaker mounted inside a protective metal enclosure.
Follow the instructions below for mounting the enclosure and for wiring the 18VAC winding
of either transformer. Follow the instructions provided with the PS24 for wiring the 30VAC
winding of the 1451-24 Transformer.
Before connecting the AC transformer, connect all zone, polling loop, keypad, auxiliary device
and bell circuit wiring. Mount and wire the 1451 transformer as follows:
1. Remove the front cover of the enclosure.
2. Mount the enclosure to the wall near the VISTA-128FB panel. The enclosure has 4
mounting holes on its back surface for this purpose.
3. Run 120VAC wiring to the enclosure in conduit. A dedicated circuit must be used.
Use wire nuts to splice the 120VAC wires to the transformer’s white and black primary
leads. Connect the earth ground post on the back of the enclosure to a good earth ground.
4. Use wire nuts to splice the transformer blue 18VAC secondary leads to 16AWG wire
which is run in conduit to the panel. These wires are connected to panel terminals 1 & 2.
Use wires having insulation rated for at least 90°C operation and suitable for non-power-
limited applications.
Use care to keep 18VAC wiring separated from all other wiring inside the panel’s enclosure.
This must be done by running non-power-limited 18VAC wiring into the panel’s enclosure via
one of the knockouts on the left-hand side of the enclosure, and then tie-wrapping these wires
to the tie-wrap loops located near the knockout.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions

5. Replace the front cover of the enclosure and fasten with the screws supplied.
A few seconds after power is applied to the control, the keypad should display
"DISARMED...READY TO ARM." If there is no keypad display, check that the 1451
Transformer is supplying proper voltage to the panel (about 17-19.5VAC when the power line
voltage is 110-120VAC).

1. Connect the earth ground post inside the 1451 enclosure to a good earth ground (use
grounding methods specified in the National Electric Code). Use a green wire nut
(supplied) to secure the wire to the ground post.
2. Run a 16AWG wire from this post to the panel’s earth ground terminal (terminal 30).
Use a second green nut (supplied) to secure this wire to the ground post. This method of
connection avoids ground loops that may occur when the 1451 and panel are connected to
different earth ground systems.
The panel requires this connection in order for its lightning transient protection devices and earth
ground supervision to function properly.
Backup Power Calculations
In the event of an AC power loss, the VISTA-128FB control (and PS24 Power Supply Module,
if used) must be supported by a backup, rechargeable, lead acid (gel cell type) battery. When
used without a PS24, a 12VDC, 12AH min./34.4AH max. battery must be connected to the
VISTA-128FB control. When used with the PS24, two 12V, 7AH min./17.2AH max. batteries
must be connected to the PS24. The PS24 configures these batteries to provide 24V backup
power to its outputs, and 12V backup power to the control.
The battery's capacity must be sized to provide 24 hours (UL central station fire) or 60 hours
(UL remote station fire) of standby time followed by 5 minutes (fire only) or 15 minutes
(fire/burglary) of alarm time. This can be determined as follows:
1. If using the polling loop, fill out the Polling Loop Current Draw Worksheet, shown on
next page, to determine the total current drawn from the polling loop.
2. Fill out the Total Control Panel Load Worksheet, shown on next page, to determine the
total standby and alarm load drawn from the control's internal 12V power supply.
3. If using the PS24, fill out the Total PS24 Module Load Worksheet, found in the PS24's
instructions, to determine the required capacity of the backup batteries that must be
connected to the PS24. Select two 12V batteries from the Battery Selection Table in the
PS24's instructions that have a capacity greater than or equal to the calculated capacity.
When calculating standby capacity, use 24 hours for central station fire and 60 hours for remote
station fire in the standby capacity formula.
4. If not using the PS24, fill out the Battery Capacity Calculation Worksheet, following the
other worksheets, to determine the required capacity for the backup battery. Select one
of the batteries given in the Battery Selection Table (later in this section) which has a
capacity greater than or equal to the calculated battery.
Section 20 – Final Power-Up Procedure
20-3
Connecting the Backup Battery to the Control
If not using the PS24, connect the battery (or batteries) to the VISTA-128FB as shown in
Figure 20-1.
If using the PS24, connect the backup batteries to the PS24 using the cables supplied with
the PS24, as shown in the PS24's instructions. Both the VISTA-128FB and the PS24 run
brief battery tests every 60 seconds to determine whether the battery is connected. If a low
or disconnected battery condition exists, it will be displayed on the control's keypad. Refer to
the Testing the System section for more detailed information.

Using Data Field Program Mode
Data Field Program Mode is the program mode through, which many system options are
programmed. The field numbers on the program form show the number of entries required
for each field. When an entry is completed, the keypad beeps three times and advances to
the next field. At this point, you can either make the required entry in the new field, or press
[*] + the next field number you want to program.
There are several "question and answer" modes, which we call "Menu" modes, that can be
accessed once Data Field Program Mode has been entered. These modes prompt the user for
information, and for this reason, a 2-line alpha keypad (6139/6139R) is required.
System and Communication Defaults
The system is shipped with a set of pre-programmed default values that are designed to
meet the needs of many installations. If desired, these can be changed by the installer to
suit specific needs.
There are four sets of pre-programmed communication defaults available, including Low
Speed, 4+2 Express, ADEMCO High Speed, and ADEMCO Contact ID. Loading one of
these defaults automatically programs industry standard codes that will suit most of
your needs.
These defaults can be changed directly from the 6139(R) Alpha Keypad or they can be
changed by using V-LINK or Compass downloading software (be sure that the software
version used includes the VISTA-128FB). Downloading can be performed either remotely
from an IBM-compatible computer (using an approved modem) or at the job site (direct-
wire download using the 4100SM Serial Module).
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
21-2
The factory-loaded defaults (*97) enable keypad addresses 00-01 only. A keypad set to one of
these addresses must be used to program the system.
Entering Data Field Programming Mode
Enter Program Mode using either method A or B:
A. Press both the [*] and [#] keys at the same time within 30 seconds after power is
applied to the control.
B. Enter the [Installer Code] + [8] + [0] + [0] + [0]. The factory installer code can be
changed once in the Program Mode (field *00).
Local keypad programming can be disabled through V-LINK or Compass downloading software. If
this is done, programming can only be accomplished via the downloading software.
Moving from One Page of Programming to Another
The data fields are grouped into four levels (referred to as "pages"). The first page is
accessed as soon as Programming Mode is entered.
The second, third, and fourth pages of data fields are indicated at the keypad by a 1, 2, and 3,
respectively, in front of the 2-digit field address. The words "ALT PROGRAM MODE" is
displayed along with a "100,"200," or "300," depending on which page of program fields is
accessed, to indicate the higher page of fields.
1. To access the next level of fields, press *94.
2. Then press [] + [XX], where XX = the last two digits of the program field, and make the
desired entry.
3. To return to the previous page of fields, press *99.
press *94 to move to 2nd page; press *99 to move back to 1st page

Entry Errors
If an invalid address is entered, the keypad will display “FC.”
If a program entry is improperly entered (for example, a larger number than that which
is permitted), the entry position of the keypad display will go blank.
In either of the above cases, simply re-enter [] + the correct field number and enter the
correct data.

Zone Type Definitions
Each zone must be assigned a zone type, which defines the way in which the system
responds to faults in that zone. In addition, there are three keypad-activated zones (panic
keys; see note) for each partition, a polling loop supervision zone, and four RF supervisory
zones, two for each RF receiver installed. Zone types are defined below.
Type 00: Zone Not Used
Program a zone with this zone type if the zone is
not used.
Type 01: Entry/Exit #1 Burglary
This zone type provides entry delay whenever the
zone is faulted if the control is armed in the
AWAY or STAY Mode. When the panel is armed
in the INSTANT or MAXIMUM Mode, no entry
delay is provided. Exit delay begins whenever the
control is armed, regardless of the arming mode
selected. These delays are programmable. This
zone type is usually assigned to sensors or
contacts on doors through which primary entry
and exit will take place.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
22-2
Type 02: Entry/Exit #2 Burglary
This zone type provides a secondary entry delay
whenever the zone is faulted if the panel is armed
in the AWAY and STAY Mode. When the panel is
armed in the INSTANT or MAXIMUM Mode, no
entry delay is provided. Secondary exit delay
begins whenever the control is armed, regardless
of the arming mode selected. These delays are
programmable. This zone type is usually assigned
to sensors or contacts on doors through which
more time is needed to get to and from the
keypad. Delay times for this zone type must be
greater than zone type 01 (e.g., a garage, loading
dock, or basement door).
Type 03: Perimeter Burglary
This zone type gives an instant alarm if the zone
is faulted when the panel is armed in the AWAY,
STAY, INSTANT or MAXIMUM Mode. This zone
type is usually assigned to all sensors or contacts
on exterior doors and windows.
Type 04: Interior, Follower
This zone type gives 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. This zone type is active when the
panel is armed in the AWAY or MAXIMUM Mode.
MAXIMUM Mode eliminates the entry delay.
This zone type is bypassed automatically
when the panel is armed in the STAY or
INSTANT Mode. This zone type is usually
assigned to a zone covering an area such as a
foyer, lobby, or hallway through which one must
pass upon entry or exit (after faulting the
entry/exit zone to reach the keypad to disarm the
system). Since this zone type is designed to
provide an instant alarm if the entry/exit zone is
not violated first, it will protect an area in the
event an intruder hides on the premises prior to
the system being armed, or gains access to the
premises through an unprotected area.
Type 05: Trouble by Day/Alarm by Night
This zone type will give an instant alarm if
faulted when armed in the AWAY, STAY,
INSTANT or MAXIMUM (night) Mode. During
the disarmed state (day), the system will provide
a latched trouble sounding from the keypad (and a
central station report, if desired). This zone type
is usually assigned 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. It can also be used
on a sensor or contact in an area where immediate
notification of an entry is desired.
Type 06: 24-Hour Silent Alarm
This zone type sends a report to the Central
Station but provides no keypad display or
sounding. This zone type is usually assigned to a
zone containing an Emergency button.
Type 07: 24-Hour Audible Alarm
This zone type sends a report to the central
station; and provides an alarm sound at the
keypad and an audible external alarm. This zone
type is usually assigned to a zone that has an
Emergency button.
Type 08: 24-Hour Auxiliary Alarm
This zone type sends a report to central station
and provides an alarm sound at the keypad. (No
bell output is provided.) This zone type is
usually assigned to a zone containing a button for
use in personal emergencies, or to a zone
containing monitoring devices such as water
sensors, temperature sensors, etc.
Type 09: Supervised Fire (Without Verification)
This zone type provides a fire alarm on short
circuit and a trouble condition on open circuit. The
bell output must be programmed to pulse when
this zone type is shorted. This zone type is always
active and cannot be bypassed.
Type 10: Interior W/Delay
This zone type gives entry and exit delays (using
the programmed entry/exit time), if tripped when
the panel is armed in the AWAY Mode. This zone
type is also active during MAXIMUM Mode, but
no entry delay is provided (alarms occur
immediately if zone is tripped). This zone type is
automatically bypassed when the panel is
armed in the STAY or INSTANT Mode. Delay
begins whenever sensors in this zone are violated,
regardless of whether or not an entry/exit delay
zone was tripped first.
Type 16: Fire With Verification
This zone type is used when smoke alarm
verification is desired on hardwire and polling
loop zones containing only 2-wire or 4-wire smoke
detectors. An open will initiate a trouble response
and a short will initiate a fire alarm response.
Initial short detection causes 7-second smoke
detector power reset. Subsequent short detection
within 90 seconds of reset causes fire alarm.
Section 22 – Zone Type Definitions
22-3
Type 17: Fire Waterflow
An open on this zone causes a trouble response.
Shorts which remain present longer than the
programmed time delay (fields 3*16 and 3*18)
cause a fire alarm response. This zone can either
be silenced by pressing [Code] + OFF or when
waterflow restores (programmed in field 3*14).
Type 18: Fire Supervisory
This zone type is assigned to a zone having
sensors that monitor fire sprinkler systems (i.e.,
PIV switches, etc.). A short on this zone causes a
supervisory response. Opens can be programmed
either for a trouble or a supervisory response
based on the entry in data field 3*13.
Type 19: 24-Hour Trouble
An open or short on this zone type causes a
trouble response. No external alarm sounders are
activated.
Type 20: Arm-STAY*
This is a special-purpose zone type used with 5800
Series wireless transmitters, which will result in
arming the system in the STAY Mode when the
zone is activated.
Type 21: Arm-AWAY*
This is a special-purpose zone type used with 5800
Series wireless transmitters, which will result in
arming the system in the AWAY Mode when the
zone is activated.
Type 22: Disarm*
This is a special-purpose zone type used with 5800
Series wireless transmitters, which will result in
disarming the system when the zone is activated.
Type 23: No Alarm Response
This zone type can be used on a zone when an
output relay action is desired, but with no
accompanying alarm (e.g., for lobby door access).
Type 27: Access Point
This zone type indicates that an input device
(hardwired zone, wireless zone, keypad, access
control relay, etc.) is controlling an access point
entry (e.g., a door). The access point entry relay
can be assigned to an access control relay
(controlled by the VISTA-128FB), ECP relay
(4204), or to the access control system
independent of the VISTA-128FB.
Type 28: Main Logic Board (MLB) Supervision
This zone type assigns a zone to supervise the
MLB. If communication between the MLB and the
Vista Gateway Module (VGM) fails, this zone will
be displayed on the keypad as “CHECK 8XX”
(XX = the ECP address the VGM is set to). Also, if
this zone fails, all access control system (ACS)
input zones will also display a “CHECK.”
* Note that these zone types are for use by 5800
Series devices only!
NOTE FOR PANIC KEYS: Keypad panic zones
share the same zone response type for all 8
partitions, but panics may be individually
enabled for each partition.
IMPORTANT! FAULT ANNUNCIATION
Polling loop and RF troubles (zones 988, 990 &
997) will report as trouble conditions only, and as
such, should be assigned zone type 19 if
annunciation is desired. See Polling Loop
Supervision in the Polling Loop Expansion
section and RF System Operation and
Supervision in the Wireless Zone Expansion
section for more information.

Data Field Descriptions
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The following is a description of all data fields provided by this control. If you have followed
earlier instructions during the installation of the various devices, many of these fields will
already have been programmed.
If you need more information about actual programming procedures, see The Mechanics of
Programming section.
*00 INSTALLER CODE [5140] |||
The Installer's Code is a 4-digit code reserved for installation company use. This is the
only code that can be used to enter the Program Mode from the keypad. This code cannot
be used to disarm the system if not used to arm the system. This code cannot reenter
Programming Mode if exited by the *98 command.
*08 TEMPORAL SIREN PULSE [0]
If either bell is selected for pulsing (program field 3*15), this field will determine the
rhythm and rate of pulsing as follows: If enabled (1), pulse rate will be three dings and a
pause, repeated. If disabled (0), the pulse rate will be 1 sec. on, 1 sec. off.
*09 ENTRY DELAY #1 (partition-specific) [02] |
Entry delay defines the delay time which allows users to re-enter the premises through a
door that has been programmed as an entry delay door and disarm the system without
sounding an alarm. The system must be disarmed within this period or an alarm will
occur. Enter the entry delay time (01-15 multiplied by 15 seconds, or 00 for no delay), up
to a maximum delay of 225 seconds (15 multiplied by 15 seconds), for zones assigned to
Zone Type 01.
*10 EXIT DELAY #1 (partition-specific) [03] |
Exit delay defines the delay period that allows users to leave the premises through a door
that has been programmed as an entry/exit delay door after arming the system without
setting off the alarm. Enter the exit delay time (01-15 multiplied by 15 seconds or 00 for
no delay), up to a maximum delay of 225 seconds, for zones assigned to Zone Type 01.
*11 ENTRY DELAY #2 (partition-specific) [06] |
Entry Delay #2 is used for a secondary door requiring a longer delay than those assigned
to Entry Delay #1. This delay may not exceed 45 seconds for UL commercial burglary
installations.
*12 EXIT DELAY #2 (partition-specific) [08] |
Exit Delay #2 is used for a secondary door requiring a longer delay than those assigned
to Exit Delay #1. This delay may not exceed 60 seconds for UL commercial burglary
installations.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
24-2
*13 BELL 1 TIMEOUT (partition-specific) [04] |

audible alarms (multiply entry 01-15 by 2 minutes for actual duration).
Must be a minimum of 16 minutes for UL commercial burglary installations, and 6
minutes for UL commercial fire installations.
*15 KEYSWITCH ASSIGNMENT [0]
Enter the partition number 1-8 in which the keyswitch is being used. Enter 9 if
keyswitch is to be used to silence fire bells in the event of a fire alarm. Otherwise, enter
0.
Requires the use of zone 7 wired loop (zone 7 is no longer available as protection zone
when used for keyswitch operation). If the keyswitch is used, the fire and panic alarm
voltage triggers automatically become ARMING and READY status outputs for support
of the Keyswitch LEDs.
Reports openings/closing by user "0" if reporting is enabled in field *40.
*16 BELL 1 CONFIRMATION OF ARMING DING (part.-specific) [0]
Enter 1 to enable 1/2 second external alarm sounding ("ding") at the end of exit delay (or
after kissoff from the central station, if sending closing reports). Otherwise enter 0.
Must be 1 for UL commercial burglary installations. Bell test on arming is required in
UL commercial burglary installations.
*17 AC LOSS KEYPAD SOUNDING [0]
Enter 1 to enable sounding at the keypad (rapid beeping) when AC power is lost
(sounding occurs about 2 minutes after actual AC loss).
Enter 0 if no AC power loss keypad sounding is desired.
*19 RANDOMIZE AC LOSS REPORT [2]
Selecting this option helps prevent an overload of AC loss messages at the central station
during a community blackout.
Enter 1 to randomize AC loss reporting between 10 and 40 min. after an actual AC loss.
Enter 2 for 6-12 hours after AC loss. Enter 0 for normal AC loss reporting (about 2
minutes after actual AC loss).

Max. 024 for commercial fire and UL commercial burglary installations.
*28 POWER UP IN PREVIOUS STATE [1]
Enter 1 if upon power-up, after a prolonged power loss which caused the system's battery
to discharge, the system will assume the system status prior to the power loss.
Enter 0 if the system is always to power up in a disarmed state. When the system
powers up armed, an alarm will occur 3 minutes after arming if a zone is faulted. When
so armed, the system reports closing as User #0 if Open/Close reporting for installer was
enabled in field *39. Note that if the previous state was armed AWAY or STAY, the
system may not respond to sensor changes for a small period of time (1-3 min.), which
allows sensors such as PIRs to stabilize.
Note: Must be 1 for UL applications. Note that authority levels 0 or 5 cannot be used to
disarm the system if the control powers up armed.

010 INPUT TYPE
RF Xmitter 3
Note that input types 4 & 5
are valid for certain 5800
Series transmitters only (e.g.,
5801, 5802, 5802CP & 5803).
When using 5700 Series
transmitters, always set the
input type to 3 (RF). The zone
number of the transmitter
identifies whether or not
supervision is required (e.g.,
5700 wireless zone number 63
is not supervised).
Input type 10 is applicable
only if PassPoint ACS is
installed with the Vista
Gateway Module.
Enter the input device type as follows:
00 = not used
01 = hardwired
03 = supervised RF transmitter (RF type)
04 = unsupervised RF transmitter (UR type)
05 = RF button-type transmitter (BR type)
06 = serial number polling loop device (SL type)
07 = DIP switch-type polling loop device
08 = right loop of DIP switch-type device.
09 = keypad input (code + #73, code + #74)
10 = PassPoint ACS input
Right loops refer to the use of the right loop on a 4190WH Zone
Expander Module and/or 4278 PIR, which allow hardwired
devices to be monitored by the polling loop.
If programming hardwired, DIP switch polling loop, or 5700
Series devices, the summary display appears after completing
this entry.
Press [*] to continue.
010 CONS ECP ADDR

If input type 10 was selected, this prompt will be displayed.
Enter the PassPoint ACS zone ID that this VISTA zone maps
to (00-31).
010 SMART CONTACT
1 = YES 0 = NO
If input type selected was a serial number type, this prompt
will be displayed. Enter 1 for devices that monitor maintenance
signals (e.g., 4192SDM, 4192SDTM, 4192CPM, 5808).

Alpha Descriptors Programming
General Information
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 20 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 will be
displayed when the system is "Ready" (e.g., THE PETERSON'S).
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 sub-menu selections that will be displayed one at a time.
Press 1 to select the mode desired.
Press 0 to display the next mode available. The alpha menu selections are:
ZONE DESCRIP? for entering zone descriptors.
DEFAULT SCREEN? for creating custom message; displayed when system ready.
CUSTOM WORD? for creating custom words for use in descriptors.
Section 25 - #93 Menu Mode Programming
25-17
PART DESCRIP? for creating 4-character partition names.
EXIT EDIT MODE? Press 1 to exit back to #93 Menu Mode.
4. 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.
For example key []001 to begin entering the description for Zone 1, (key []002 for
Zone 2, []003 for Zone 3 etc.). The following will be 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
25-18
5. 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.
6. 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)
7. Exit Zone Description Mode: enter 000.
Custom Words
Up to 20 installer-defined words can be added to the built-in vocabulary. Each of the 20
"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 (01-20) 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 will now appear at the beginning of the
second line.

Press 7 to enter a blank (or to erase an existing character).
Each word or word string cannot exceed 10 characters.
5. Save the word by pressing 8.
This will return you to the “CUSTOM WORD?” display. The custom word (or string of
words) will be automatically added to the built-in vocabulary at the end of the group of
words beginning with the same letter.
Section 25 - #93 Menu Mode Programming
25-19
Custom words are retrieved as word numbers 250 to 269 for words 1 to 20, respectively,
when using method 3a to enter alpha descriptors.
When using method 3b to enter alpha descriptors, each word will be found at the end of
the group of words that begin with the same letter as it does.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 6 to create up to a maximum of 20 custom words (or word
strings).
7. Exit Custom Word Mode by entering 00 at the “CUSTOM WORD” prompt.
Partition Descriptors
1. Select "Part DESCRIPT." Mode. The system will ask for the partition number desired.
Enter the number as a single-key entry 1-8.
2. Follow the same procedure as for custom words, except that partition descriptors are
limited to 4 characters (e.g., WHSE for warehouse).
Custom Message Display (Installer's Message)
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 that 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 will ask for the partition number for this message.
Enter the partition number. Press [] to accept entry.
The following will appear:
****DISARMED****
READY TO ARM
A cursor will be 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.
2. 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 will then move 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.
3. Save the message.
Store the new display message in memory by pressing 8.
4. The system will ask for a new partition number.
Enter 0 to quit or 1-8 for a new partition number.

Relay Programming
The system supports up to 32 relay outputs. Relays can be used to perform many different
functions and actions. Each relay 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) 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
choices of actions:
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.
NO RESPONSE when the device is not used.
TOGGLE on and off alternately with each activation of event.
START (STT) The "START" programming determines when and under what conditions
the device will be 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 Relay action begins upon any alarm in an
assigned zone in the zone list.
FAULT Relay action begins upon any opening of an
assigned zone in the zone list.
TROUBLE Relay action begins upon any trouble
condition in an assigned zone in the zone list.
NO RESPONSE Relay 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 8
zone lists that can be programmed; when the selected EVENT (alarm,
fault or trouble) occurs in any zone in the selected “Start” ZONE LIST
(1-8), activation of the selected device will START.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
25-26
2) 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 which are not to activate this device, then “ZONE
TYPE” may be used instead of using 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, the appropriate choice would also
be entered 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.
3) 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).
STOP (STP): The "STOP" programming determines when and under what conditions
the device will be de-activated. The following options are available:
1).RESTORE ZONE LIST (ZL). If a "ZONE LIST" is used as the “Stop
event, the device will de-activate when all the zones in that list
restore from a previous fault, trouble, or alarm condition. This will
occur regardless of what is programmed to "START" the device;
therefore, a "RESTORE ZONE LIST" would normally only be used
when a "ZONE LIST" is used to start the device.
2).ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION (ZT). Instead of using a
"RESTORE ZONE LIST," a specific zone (response) type or system
operation action can be selected to de-activate the device.
If a specific "ZONE TYPE" is chosen, any zone of that response type
that restores from a previous alarm, trouble, or fault condition will
cause the device to de-activate.
If a "SYSTEM OPERATION" is chosen, that operation will cause 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 “EVENT/ZONE LIST” combination.

Custom Word Substitutes for VIP Module Annunciation
A substitute word can be programmed for each of the 20 custom words used in your alpha
zone descriptions. The VIP Module will announce 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," since 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.
CUSTOM INDEX ?
0=no 1=yes
Enter 1 at this prompt.

Enter the custom word number (01-20) for which a voice
substitute is desired. Enter 00 to quit this Programming Mode.
Press [] to accept entry.
01 ENTER INDEX # Enter the 3-digit substitute word index number from the relay
voice descriptor and custom word substitutes vocabulary list
found in the Relay Voice Descriptors part of this section.
Press [] to accept entry.
The "CUSTOM WORD NO." prompt will be displayed. Enter
the next custom word number to be substituted or enter 00 to
quit.
RF Serial Number Clear Mode
This mode may be used in the event that an undesired transmitter has been enrolled during
sequential enrolling, causing each subsequent serial number to be assigned to an incorrect
zone. Performing this operation will delete all RF serial numbers, leaving all other zone
information intact. You may then return to Sequential Mode to re-enroll wireless
transmitters.
The RF Serial Number Clear Mode will
not
delete polling loop serial numbers.
To clear all RF wireless serial numbers, do the following:
1. Enter Data Field Programming Mode: [Installer Code] + 8 0 0 0.
2. From Data Field Programming Mode, press #93 to display the "ZONE PROG?" prompt.
3. Press 0 (NO) repeatedly until the "CLEAR RF SERIAL #?" prompt appears.

Introduction to Scheduling
This section describes the scheduling features provided with this control panel.
UL1. You must program Bypass and Auto-Arm Fail reports for UL installations.
2. Auto-disarming is not for use in UL installations.
General
The scheduling features allow certain operations to be automated, such as auto-arming,
auto-disarming, auto-bypassing and unbypassing of zones, and activating relay outputs
(using 4204 modules).
The system uses time windows (a programmed period of time with a start and stop time)
for defining open/close schedules, holiday schedules, user-defined temporary schedules
and access schedules for users.
Scheduled events are programmed by user-friendly menu modes of programming (#80,
#81 and #83 modes), explained in detail in this section. These menus take you step by
step through the options.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
26-2
Auto Arming
The system can automatically arm (AWAY Mode) a partition at the end of a pre-
determined closing (arming) time window.
Auto arming can be delayed three ways: by use of the auto arm delay, the auto arm
warning, or by manually extending the closing (arming) time window with a keypad
command.
The system can also automatically bypass any open zones when auto arming.
Auto-Arm Delay
Auto-arm delay provides a delay (grace period) before auto arming.
It starts at the end of the closing time window.
The delay is set in 4-minute increments, up to 56 minutes in partition-specific program
field 2*05.
At the expiration of this delay, the auto-arm warning will start.
Auto-Arm Warning
The auto-arm warning causes the keypad sounder to warn the user of an impending
auto-arm.
The warning can be set from 1 to 15 minutes prior to the arming in partition-specific
program field 2*06.
During this period the keypad beeps every 15 seconds and displays "AUTO ARM
ALERT.” During the last 60 seconds, the keypads begin to beep every 5 seconds.
The panel arms at the conclusion of the auto-arm warning period.
Extend Closing Window
A user can manually delay the arm (closing) time window by 1 or 2 hours.
This is done by entering a keypad command ([User Code} + #82), which then prompts the
user to enter the desired extension time of 1 or 2.
This feature is useful if a user must stay on the premises later than usual.
The auto-arm delay and warning periods will begin at the end of the extension.
Force Arm
The force arm option causes the panel to attempt to bypass any faulted zones prior to
auto-arming (panel will perform a force-arm).
This option is set in partition-specific program field 2*08.
Auto Disarming
The system can automatically disarm a partition at the end of a pre-determined opening
(disarm) time window.
The disarming time can be delayed by using the auto-disarm delay feature.
Disarm Delay
Auto-disarm delay provides a delay before auto disarming. This delay is added to the end
of the disarm time window.
The delay is set in 4-minute increments, up to 56 minutes, in partition-specific program
field 2*07.
Section 26 – Scheduling Options
26-3
Restrict Disarming
This option allows disarming by users only during the disarm time window and during
the arming time window (in case user needs to re-enter premises after manually arming
the partition).
This option is set in partition-specific field 2*10.
If field 2*10 is set, it is highly recommended to set field 2*11 as well. This field allows
the partition to be disarmed outside the arm/disarm time windows only if the partition is
in alarm.
Exception Reports
This option allows the reporting of openings and closings to the central station only if the
arming and disarming occurs outside of the predetermined opening and closing time
windows.
This option is set in partition-specific field 2*09.
The system can be programmed to send No Opening and No Closing reports if the
partition is not armed or disarmed by the end of the corresponding time window.
Time-Driven Events
By using the time windows, the system can automatically activate and de-activate relays
at predetermined times to turn lights or other devices on and off.
The time-driven events can be activated at different times in relation to the time window:
1. At the beginning of a time window
2. At the end of a time window
3. During a time window active period only (on at beginning of window, off at
end)
4. At both the beginning and end of the time window (e.g., to sound a buzzer at
the beginning and end of a coffee break)
The system can perform the same actions on a daily basis, or can be made to perform an
action only once (i.e., turn on the porch light this Wednesday at 8:00 pm).
The system also provides up to 20 programmable "timers" available to the end user for
the purpose of activating output devices at preset times and on preset days.
Limitation of Access of Users by Time
A user's access can be limited to a certain time period, during which he can perform
system functions. Outside this time, that user's code will be inactive.
The system provides up to 8 access schedules, each consisting of two time windows
(typically one for opening, one for closing) for each day of the week and two time windows
for holidays.
The access schedules are programmed in the #80 Menu Mode, and enabled for a given
user when that user’s access code is added to the system.
If a user tries to operate the system outside of the schedule, the alpha keypad will
display "Access Denied."
Time Window Definitions
General
Scheduled events are based on time windows, which are simply periods of time during
which an event may take place.
A time window is defined by a “Start” time and a “Stop” time.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
26-4
The system supports up to 20 time windows.
The windows are shared by all 8 partitions, and are used when programming the various
schedules (open/close, limitation of access), as well as for time-driven event control.
Scheduling Example
To understand scheduling, take, for example, a store that has the following hours:
Monday to Thursday: 9am to 6pm
Friday 9am to 9pm
Saturday 10am to 4pm
Sunday Closed
Holidays Closed
Assume the owner desires the following time windows to allow time for employees to arm or
disarm the system:
Monday to Thursday: Open (disarm) 8am to 9am
Close (arm) 6pm to 6:30pm
Friday Open (disarm) 8am to 9am
Close (arm) 9pm to 9:30pm
Saturday Open (disarm) 9am to 10am
Close (arm) 4pm to 4:30pm
Sunday & Holidays Closed
To provide these schedules, the following five time windows need to be programmed:
Window Start Stop Purpose
1 8am 9am Monday-Friday open window
2 9am 10am Saturday open window
3 4pm 4:30pm Saturday close window
4 6pm 6:30pm Monday-Thurs. close window
5 9pm 9:30pm Friday close window
Using the #80 Menu Mode (described later in this section), the installer can program
open/close schedules by assigning each time window to a day of the week (windows are
entered as 2-digit entries):
Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun Hol
Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl
01/04 01/04 01/04 01/04 01/05 02/03 00/00 00/00
Note: 00 is entered for those days on which the store is closed.
Employees can arm and disarm the system, when programmed, within the open and close
time windows without causing a report to be sent to the central station (reporting by
exception, field 2*09). The system can be programmed to automatically arm/disarm in case
an employee fails to arm/disarm manually (auto-arm/auto-disarm).
Open/Close Definitions
General
The open/close scheduling is controlled by one of three schedules. Each schedule consists
of one time window for openings and one time window for closings.
There are three types of schedules available: Daily, Holiday, and Temporary.
Daily Schedule
Each partition can have one daily schedule consisting of one opening window and one
closing window per day.
Section 26 – Scheduling Options
26-5
Holiday Schedule
A holiday schedule will override the regular daily schedule on selected holidays
throughout the year.
The opening and closing windows are programmed in the daily schedule, but the holidays
themselves are defined in the Holiday Schedule Programming in the #80 Menu Mode.
Temporary Schedule
The temporary schedule provides a method for the end user to override the daily and
holiday schedules.
It consists of one opening window and one closing window for each day of the week.
The schedule takes effect for up to one week, after which it is automatically deactivated.
This schedule is programmed using the #81 Temporary Schedule Menu Mode.
Additional Schedules
Additional opening and closing schedules can be programmed using the Time-Driven
Event Programming. For example, a schedule for normal store openings/closings can be
programmed with a daily open/close schedule, and another open/close schedule for a
lunch hour can be programmed using the time-driven event schedule programming.
Refer to “Time-Driven Events” later in this section for detailed information.
Open/Close Reports by Exception
The system can help reduce communication traffic to the central station by using the
Open/Close Reports by Exception feature.
The Open/Close by Exception option suppresses these reports from being sent to the
central station if an arm or disarm is done within the expected time window. Reports
are only sent if the arm or disarm occurs outside the assigned time window.
The system keeps a record of all openings/closings in its event log.
If a disarming occurs during a closing window (a person who arms the system forgets
something and has to reenter), the Opening report (although outside of the opening
window) will not be sent (as long as that disarming occurs within the closing window).
This option is programmed in partition-specific program field 2*09.
The following chart gives an example of how the Open/Close by Exception reporting works.
Example of Open/Close Exception Reporting & Scheduling
6:01PM 5:59AM 6AM 9AM 9:01AM 3:59PM 4PM 6PM 6:01PM 5:59AM
Early Opening reports will
be sent if system is
manually disarmed before
opening window begins.
* Early and Late Opening
and Closing reports are
programmable options in
the Report Code
programming section.
They are not dependent
on the programming of
the Exception Reporting
option.
Opening Window
No reports sent if
system disarmed
during this time
window.
If an arming occurs, a
Closing report is sent
to the central station
regardless of how the
Exception Reporting
option is set.
Auto-disarm delay begins.
Auto-disarm occurs after delay
(if auto-disarm is enabled).
Missed Opening reports will be
sent if manual disarming has not
occurred at expiration of
opening window.
Late Opening reports will be
sent if disarm occurs after the
opening window expires.
Early Closing reports will be
sent if manual arming occurs
before the closing window
begins.
* Missed Opening/Closing type
reports are programmed in the
Report Code programming
section. The Exception
Reporting option must be set for
these to be sent.
Closing Window
No reports sent if
system is armed*
during this time
window.
* or disarmed if user
needs to re-enter
premises.
Auto-arm delay begins.
Auto-arm warning begins.
Auto-arm occurs after
warning expires (if auto-
arm is enabled).
Missed Closing reports will
be sent if manual arming
has not occurred at
expiration of closing
window.
Late Closing reports will be
sent if system is manually
armed after the closing
window expires.

Time-Driven Events
These are the schedules used to activate outputs, bypass zones, etc. based on a time
schedule. There are 20 of these events that may be programmed for the system, with each
event governed by the previously defined time windows.
The actions that can be programmed to automatically activate at set times are: relay
commands, arm/disarm commands, zone bypassing commands, and open/close access
conditions.

1) First enter the schedule number (01-20) and time window number (01-20), and
note the day of the week the action is desired.
2) Enter the code for the desired action and action specifier. The action codes are the
events that are to take place when the scheduled time is reached. Each action also
requires an action specifier, which defines what the action will affect (relay, relay group,
partition, zone list, user group). The action specifier varies, depending on the type of
action selected.
The following is a list of the "Action Codes” (desired actions) used when programming
time-driven events. Note that these codes are independent of the relay codes programmed
during the Relay Programming in the #93 Menu Mode.

Arm/Disarm Commands
Activation times 1 (Beginning), 2 (End), 3 (During) are the only valid choices for
automatic arming and disarming functions.
"During" can be used to arm or disarm the control for a specific time only. For example, if
"during" is selected with Arm-STAY, the system will automatically Arm-STAY at the
beginning of the window and automatically disarm at the end of the window.
Action Code Action Specifier

24 Force Arm AWAY (Auto-bypass faulted zns) Partition(s)
1. The auto-arm warning (field 2*06) applies when using time-driven events to auto-arm.
2. Temporary schedules will not override an auto-arming or auto-disarming programmed in time-
driven events.
3. The auto-arming window cannot be extended using the Installer Code + #82 Mode.
Bypass Commands
Activation times 1 (Beginning), 2 (End), 3 (During) are the only valid choices for bypass
commands. If 3 (During) is selected for auto-bypassing, the system will bypass the zone(s)
specified on a particular zone list at the beginning of the window and unbypass the
zone(s) at the end of the window. If it is selected for auto unbypassing, the system will
remove the bypass of the zone(s) at the beginning of the window and will restore the
bypass of the zone(s) at the end of the window.

3During time window active period only (On at
beginning of window, off at end). This can be used
in conjunction with the arm, disarm or bypass
commands to control a part of the system during
the window.
For example, if bypass is selected to activate during
the window, the zones in the zone list will be
bypassed at the beginning of the window and
unbypassed at the end of the window.
4 Beginning and end of time window (e.g., -a Coffee
break buzzer). In this example, if relay pulse is
selected, the relay will pulse for 2 seconds at the
beginning of the window, signaling the beginning of
the coffee break. At the end of the window it will
pulse again, signaling the end of coffee break.
Time-Driven Event Programming
The following schedules can be used to activate outputs, bypass zones, arm/disarm the
system, etc. based on a time schedule. Up to 20 events can be programmed for the system.
Time windows must first be defined in order to be used to trigger events.

Limitation of Access Schedules
Limitation of Access is a means by which a user's access code is limited to working during a
certain period of time. The system provides 8 Access Schedules, each of which consists of two
time windows for each day of the week and two time windows for holidays (typically one for
an opening time window and the second for a closing time window). A user required to follow
a schedule would be assigned to an access group of the same number (1-8; i.e., schedule 1=
group 1). The user’s access code is assigned to a group when that user is added to the
system. If no limitations apply, enter 0.

A Successful Transmission
When a control panel calls the central station receiver, it waits to hear a “handshake”
frequency from the receiver to confirm that the receiver is on-line and ready to receive its
message. Once the panel hears the handshake it is programmed to listen for, it sends its
message. The panel then waits for a “kissoff” frequency from the receiver acknowledging
that the message was received and understood.
Once the handshake frequency is received and understood by the panel, the panel will send
its message. If there is an error in the transmission (the receiver does not receive a “valid”
message), the kissoff frequency will not be given by the central station receiver.
The panel will make a number of attempts to the primary telephone number and a number of
attempts to the secondary telephone number (if programmed) to get a valid message through.
The number of attempts that are made to each number is determined by the programming of
field 3*21. If the panel is not successful after its numerous attempts, the keypad will display
“Comm Failure.”
Reporting Formats
The following chart defines the three sets of (handshake/kissoff) frequencies that the panel
supports and the different formats that can be sent for each.

ADVISORY: ADEMCO's Contact ID reporting is capable of uniquely reporting all 128 zones
of information, as well as openings and closings for all 128 users, to central stations equipped
with the ADEMCO 685 receiver using software level 4.4 or higher. Must be level 4.7 or
higher to fully support all new VISTA-128FB report codes. 685 software levels below 4.4
cannot support Contact ID reporting. If you need to update your 685 receiver, contact your
distributor.
The following describes each format in greater detail.
3+1 and 4+1 Standard
Formats Comprised of a 3- (or 4-) digit subscriber number and a single-
digit report code (e.g. Alarm, Trouble, Restore, Open, Close,
etc.).
3+1 and 4+1 Expanded
Formats Comprised of a 3- (or 4-) digit subscriber number and a two-
digit report code. The first digit is displayed on the first line,
followed by a second line where the first digit is repeated 3 (or
4) times and followed by the second digit. This is the
“expanded” digit.
4+2 Format Comprised of a 4-digit subscriber number and 2-digit report
code.
ADEMCO Contact ID
Reporting Format Comprised of a 4-digit subscriber number, 1-digit event
qualifier ("new" or "restore"), 3-digit event code, 2-digit
partition number., and 3-digit zone number, user number, or
system status number.
ADEMCO High Speed Comprised of 13 digits as follows: A 4-digit account number +
eight channels of zone information (1-8 or duress plus 9-15) +
one status channel, which identifies the type of events being
reported in the eight zone locations.

ADEMCO Contact ID Reporting takes the following format:
CCCC QEEE GG ZZZ
where: CCCC = Customer (subscriber) ID
Q = Event qualifier, where:
E = new event, and R = restore
EEE = Event code (3 hexadecimal digits)
GG = Partition number (system messages show “00”)
ZZZ = Zone/contact ID number reporting the alarm, or user number
for Open/Close reports. System status messages (AC Loss,
Walk-Test, etc.) contain zeroes in the ZZZ location.
ADEMCO High Speed Reporting events by channel:
Channels 1 through 8 could have one of the following conditions:
1 = NEW EVENT
2 = OPENING (Status Channel Always = 2)*
3 = RESTORE
4 = CLOSING (Status Channel Always = 4)*
5 = NORMAL, NO EVENT TO REPORT
6 = PREVIOUSLY REPORTED, NOT YET RESTORED
* NOTE: Channel 1 will contain the user ID 1-9, A-F if Open/Close reporting is enabled.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
27-4
The status channel might have one of the following conditions:
1 = DURESS (For Duress Plus Channels 9-15 Only)
2 = OPENING
3 = BYPASS (For Channels 1-8 Only)
4 = CLOSING
5 = SUPERVISORY/TROUBLE (For Channels 1-8 Only)
6 = SYSTEM STATUS:
• AC LOSS in Channel 1
• LOW BATTERY in Channel 2
• TIME SET in Channel 3
• LOG CLEAR in Channel 3
• LOG 50% FULL in Channel 3
• LOG 90% FULL in Channel 3
• LOG OVERFLOW in Channel 3
• POWER ON RESET in Channel 4
• WALK-TEST START, END in Channel 8
7 = NORMAL ALARM STATUS (Channels 1-8 Only)
9 = TEST REPORT
Explanation of Channels 9-15:
If there is a 1 in the status channel, and:
1 in the 1st location = Duress
1 in Channels 9-15 = Zone alarm on those channels
3 in Channels 9-15 = Restore on those channels
6 in Channels 9-15 = Previously reported alarm–not restored
A typical high-speed report may look like this:
1234 5115 5555 7 (Acct #1234 with alarms on channels 2 and 3)
1234 5555 1555 1 (Acct #1234 with alarm on channel 12)
LIMITATIONS
1. When using ADEMCO High-Speed, remember there are only 15 channels available, plus
a duress channel. If more than 15 zones are being used, they will have to share channels.
2. With ADEMCO High-Speed reporting, channels 9-15 cannot report troubles or bypasses.
Use these channels for zones that will not report these conditions.
3. Only user numbers 1-15 can be uniquely reported with Open/Close reports in ADEMCO
High-Speed.
Loading Communication Defaults
To help expedite the installation, the system provides 4 different communication defaults
(Low Speed, ADEMCO Express, ADEMCO High-Speed and ADEMCO's Contact ID).
You may load communications defaults at any time. However, it is recommended that the
panel be defaulted first (*97) only if no other programming has been done. If other
programming has already been done, there is no need to default the panel.
Section 27 – System Communications
27-5
To load communication defaults, do the following:
Enter Program Mode [Installer Code] + 8 0 0 0. Once the Programming Mode is entered,
first press *94 and then enter one of the following field numbers:
TABLE OF DEFAULT PROGRAMMING COMMANDS
PRESS TO LOAD THIS DEFAULT PROGRAM SET
*80 Low Speed communication defaults
*81 ADEMCO 4 + 2 Express communication defaults

General Information
Downloading allows the operator to remotely access, program, and control the security
system over normal telephone lines. Anything that can be done directly from the keypad can
be done remotely, using ADEMCO's VLINK® or COMPASS downloading software. To
communicate with the control panel, the following is required:
Using V-LINK
1. An IBM PC compatible 286, 386, or 486 computer with at least 1MB RAM, a hard disk
with 12MB available disk space, running MS DOS 3.1 or higher operating system.
2. One of the following modems:
Hayes Smartmodem 1200 (external: level 1.2 or higher; internal: level 1.1 or higher)
Hayes Optima 24 + Fax 96 external
Other brands are not compatible, even if claimed to be 100% compatible.
3. V-LINK® DOWNLOADING software may be purchased from ADEMCO. This software
is available on 3-1/2" diskettes, and includes a complete User's Manual. It may also be
downloaded. from the ADEMCO web page. The web address is http://www.ademco.com.
Using Compass
1. An IBM PC compatible 486 33MHz PC or better with 30 MB of available hard disk space
and at least 8MB of RAM (12MB is preferred). Windows 3.X, Windows 95, or Windows
NT.
2. One of the following modems:
Hayes Smartmodem 1200 (external: level 1.2 or higher; internal: level 1.1 or higher)
Hayes Optima 24 + Fax 96 external
Hayes Optima 336
BizComp Intellimodem 1200 w/volume
BizComp Intellimodem 2400
Other brands are not compatible, even if claimed to be 100% compatible.

3. COMPASS DOWNLOADING software may be purchased from ADEMCO. This software
is available on 3-1/2" diskettes or CD ROM, and includes a complete User's Manual. It
may also be downloaded from the ADEMCO web page. The web address is
http://www.ademco.com.
Internal modems must have a 4-position DIP switch. Modems with a 6-position DIP switch will not
work.
Alternatively, you may use a 4100SM interface module to "direct-wire" the control panel to
your computer at the site.
Getting On-Line with a Control Panel
At the protected premises, the Control panel must be connected to the existing telephone line
(refer to the System Communication section). No programming of the panel is required
before downloading to an initial installation.
To download, do the following:
1. Enter the [Installer Code] + [#] + [5]. The panel temporarily enables a ring count of 5
and sets the Download Callback option to "1" (callback not required).
2. Call the panel using the downloader software set to "First Communication" Mode.
3. The downloader will establish a session with no callback. The panel information can then
be downloaded.
4. In order to remotely access, control, or program the alarm panel, a "link" must be
established between the computer and the control panel, as follows:
a. The computer calls up the control panel. (The phone number for each customer is
entered into the customer's account file on the computer.)
b. The control panel "answers" at the pre-programmed ring count and executes a
handshake with the computer.
c. The computer sends a request for callback to the control, unless callback is not
required.
d. The panel acknowledges the request and hangs up. During the next few seconds,
the control will process the request, making sure certain encrypted information
received from the computer matches its own memory.
e. Upon a successful match, the control panel will seize the phone line and call the
computer back, unless callback is not required. (The phone number to which the
computer’s modem is connected must be programmed into the control field 35.)
f. The computer answers, usually by the second ring, and executes a handshake
with the panel.
g. The panel then sends other default information to the computer. If this
information matches the computer's information, a successful link is established.
This is known as being “On-line.”
1. Alarms and Trouble responses and reports are disabled during actual uploading or
downloading sessions. If you are on-line, but not actively uploading or downloading, all
alarms will report immediately. All other reports will be delayed until you complete the
session.
2. The keypads remain active when on-line with a control, but are inactive during actual
uploading or downloading sessions.
Section 28 - Downloading Primer
28-3
On-Line Control Functions
The following functions can be performed while on-line with a control panel:
Arm the system in the AWAY Mode; disarm the system
Bypass a zone
Force the system to accept a new program download
Shut down communication (dialer) functions (non-payment of monitoring fees in an
owned system)
Shut down all security system functions (non-payment for a leased system)
Inhibit local keypad programming (prevents takeover of your accounts)
Leave a message for customer
Command the system to upload a copy of its resident program to the office
Read: arming status, AC power status, list of faulted zones, list of bypassed zones, 224
event log, list of zones currently in alarm, list of zones currently in trouble, and ECP
equipment list
Set the real-time clock
Access Security
Accessing the control from a remote location is protected against compromise by the use of 4
levels of protection:
1. Security code handshake: The subscriber's account number as well as an 8-digit ID
number (known only to the office) must be matched between the control and computer.
2. Hang-up and Call-back: The control panel will "hang up" and call the computer back at
the pre-programmed number only if the security codes match.
3. Data encryption: All data that is exchanged between the computer and control is
encrypted to reduce the possibility of anyone "tapping" the line and corrupting data.
4. Operator access levels: Operators may be assigned various levels of access to the
downloader, each having its own log-on code. The access levels allow the operators
read/write capabilities of the customers’ account information. For a detailed explanation
of the access levels, see the downloading software User Manual.
NOTES:
Each time the control panel is accessed successfully, a Callback Requested report is sent
to the central station, if programmed.
When downloading, the keypad displays "MODEM COMM."
After each download or a save, an automatic time stamp is done, indicating the date and
time of the last download (or save) and the operator ID number.
A complete hard copy of each individual account can be obtained by connecting a printer
to the computer. Refer to your computer Owner's Manual or contact your dealer for
printer recommendations.
Connecting a 4100SM Module for Direct Wire Downloading
The VISTA-128FB can be downloaded without using a modem or telephone line, but by using
a 4100SM Serial Module and V-LINK or Compass Downloading Software. The direct-wire
downloading connection is to be temporary, and is not part of the permanent installation.
Direct-wire downloading is meant as a tool for the installer during the installation process.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
28-4
The connections between the control and the 4100SM are different than those shown in the
4100SM Installation Instructions. See the diagram below for correct connections. In addition,
the green wire is referred to in step 2 of the “IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY” section of the 4100SM
Instructions, use the violet wire instead.
Connector J8 on the main PC board (see the Summary of Connections diagram on the inside
back cover of this manual), is intended to be interfaced to either a local serial printer (see
Event Log printer Connections in the Event Log Options section) or a computer. Make
connections to a computer as shown below. Note that the violet wire connection for a
computer differs from that used when connecting a serial printer.
Remove the alpha numeric pager interface if it is installed while performing the direct-wire
download. It may be reconnected once the direct-wire download is completed

General Information
This system allows a total of 150 security access codes to be allocated, each identified by a
user ID number. Regardless of the number of partitions each code has access to, it
occupies only one user slot in the system. If a particular code is not used in all
partitions, that user ID number cannot be used again.
The Quick Arm feature can also be programmed (partition-specific program field *29), which
allows the [#] key to be pressed instead of entering the security code when arming the
system. The security code must always be entered to disarm the system.
A user code other than the installer code must be programmed for the Quick Arm feature to
function.
User Codes & Levels of Authority
Each user of the system can be assigned a level of authority, which tells the system what
system functions that user is authorized to do. A user can have different levels of authority
within different partitions. In general, users can perform most system functions, including
Test and Chime Modes, but certain authority levels restrict disarming, bypassing or the
assigning of other user codes. These restrictions are noted in the descriptions below.
Use the "View Capabilities" keypad function to view the partitions and authority levels for
which a particular user is authorized. These levels are described in the table below in order
from highest to lowest ranking.

Level 0: Installer (User 1) Codes
Programmed in field *00 (default = 5-1-4-0). Installer Open/Close reporting is selected in
field *39.
Can perform all system functions (arm, disarm, bypass, etc.), but cannot disarm if
armed by another code (or by Quick Arm).
Can add, delete, or change codes of all other authority levels, and can select Open/Close
reports for any user.
Is the only code that can be used to enter program mode. The Installer Code can be
prevented from re-entering the Program Mode by exiting using 98. The only way to
access Programming Mode if this done is by powering down the system, powering up
again, and then pressing both the [] and [#] keys at the same time within 30 seconds of
power up.)
Must program at least one Master Code during initial installation. Master Codes are
codes intended for use by the primary user(s) of the system.
Level 1: Master Codes
Can perform all normal system functions.
Can be used to assign up to 141 lower-level codes, which can be used by other users of the
system.
Cannot assign anybody a level of 0 or 1.
May change his own code.
Can add, delete, or change Manager or Operator Codes. Each user's code can be
individually eliminated or changed at any time.
Open/Close reporting of added users are is the same as that of the Master who is adding
the new user.
Level 2: Manager Codes
Can perform all system functions (arm, disarm, bypass, etc.) programmed by Master.
May add, delete or change other users of the system below this level (Manager cannot
assign anybody a level of 0, 1, or 2).
May change his own code.
Open/Close reporting of added users are is the same as that of the Manager who is
adding the new user.
Levels 3-5: Operator Codes
Can arm and disarm the system to the authority assigned, but cannot add or modify any
user code.
May operate a partition with one of the three Operator authority levels A through C in
the table below.
Section 30 - User Access Codes
30-3
Level Title Functions Permitted
3 Operator A Arm, Disarm, Bypass
4 Operator B Arm, Disarm
5 Operator C Arm, Disarm only if armed with same code
Operator C (sometimes known as the Babysitter Code) cannot disarm the system unless
the system was armed with that code. This code is usually assigned to persons who may
have the need to arm and disarm the system at specific times only (e.g., a babysitter
needs to control the system only when babysitting).
Level 6: Duress Codes
Sends a silent alarm to a central monitoring station if the user is being forced to disarm
(or arm) the system under threat (only useful if the system is connected to a central
station).
When the system's Auxiliary Voltage Triggers are connected to another communication's
media (Derived Channel/Long Range Radio), note that duress is signaled on the same
trigger that signals silent panic (whereas duress has its own unique report when
digitally communicated).
Assigned on a partition-by-partition basis, and can be any code or codes desired.
Will disarm (or arm) the system, but will also send a silent alarm to the central station
(if service is connected). There will be no indication at the keypad that an alarm was
sent.
Duress Reporting Note: A non-zero report code for zone 992 (duress) must be programmed, and
partition-specific field *85 duress location enabled, to enable Duress reporting.
The Duress report-triggering logic activates on the 5th key depression (such as OFF), not
the 4th key depression (last digit of code). Duress reports will not be triggered if the 5th
key is a [*], such as when performing a GOTO or viewing the capabilities of a user.
General Rules on Authority Levels and Changes
The following rules apply to users when making modifications within the system based on
the user code authority levels:
Master Codes and all lower-level codes can be used interchangeably when performing
system functions within a partition (a system armed with a user's temporary code can be
disarmed with the Master Code or another user's temporary code), except the Operator
Level C Code described above.
A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME or HIGHER authority than
that which he is assigned.
A user (levels 0, 1 & 2 only) may only ADD users to a LOWER authority level.
A user may assign other users access to only those partitions to which he himself has
access.
A user code can only be DELETED or CHANGED from within the partition it was
created in.
User numbers must be entered in 3 digits. Single-digit user numbers must, therefore,
always be preceded by a "00" (e.g., 003, 004, 005, etc.). Make sure the end user
understands this requirement. Temporary codes are entered as 4-digit numbers.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
30-4
Open/Close Reporting Note: When adding a user, the system will only prompt for
Open/Close reporting capability if the user is being added by the Installer. When a Master or
Manager adds a new user, the new user's Open/Close reporting enable will be the same as
that of the Master or Manager who is adding the user. If Open/Close reports are required to
be selectable by the Master or Manager, the Installer should assign two Master or Manager
user codes: one with Open/Close reporting enabled, and one without.
Note that Open/Close reporting of Quick Arm is enabled if User 002 is enabled for
Open/Close reporting, and that Quick Arm reports as User 000. In order for Quick Arm
reports to be sent for all partitions, User #002 must have authority and Open/Close must be
enabled for all partitions. If a code with access to all partitions is not desired, it is suggested
that user #002 be assigned authority level 5 in all partitions, and that the code be kept
secret. Authority level 5 cannot disarm the system unless armed by that user.
ADEMCO Contact ID format is capable of reporting Users 001-150 uniquely. If any other report
format is used, only user numbers 001 - 015 can uniquely report to the central station. Users 016 -
150 will report as User 015.
Multiple Partition Access Examples
Each user is programmed for a primary (home) partition. A user can also be given access to
operate one or more additional partitions. Within each partition, each user may be
programmed to have different levels of authority. For example, User #3, the VP of
Engineering, could be assigned to work within the Engineering Department (Partition 1) of
ABC Manufacturing. Since he needs the full capabilities in his area, he is assigned as a
MASTER with Level 1 authority. This means he may arm, disarm, bypass, add or modify
users in Partition 1.
He must also be able to gain access to the manufacturing area (Partition 2) on an emergency
basis. You can set this up easily with the partitioned system by requesting that he also be
assigned to Partition 2, with a level of authority set lower, such as Level 4 (OPERATOR
Level B), which allows him to arm and disarm, but nothing else. The control will
automatically assign him the same user number within Partition 2, and does not require
reprogramming of his already-existing 4-digit security code.
EXAMPLE OF MULTIPLE PARTITION ACCESS
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8
User 3 User 3
Level 1 Level 4
Master Oper B
In the above example, User 3 has MASTER authority in Partition 1 and OPERATOR B
authority in Partition 2. His user number is the same for both partitions. Note that if a user
number is already being used in a partition, the system will automatically assign a new user
an unused number. Also notice that no access is allowed for this user into Partitions 3 - 8.
Attempts to access these partitions would be denied automatically.
To ADD a Master, Manager, or Operator Code
During user code entry, normal key depressions at other keypads in a partition will be ignored.
However, panic key depression will cause an alarm and terminate user entry.
Section 30 - User Access Codes

Authority Level prompt above).
Open/Close option for this user in the displayed partition
(see Open/Close prompt above).
Global Arm option for this user in the displayed partition.
When all partitions have been displayed, the keypad will scroll
through all partitions to which access has been assigned, and
will display the user number, authority level, open/close and
global arm options that were programmed for each partition to
which the user was granted access. For example:
Part. 1 A0* WHSE
User 003 Auth=3G.
Note that the “G” following the authority level indicates that
the global arm feature is enabled for this user in the displayed
partition, and that the period at the end of the second line
indicates Open/Close reporting is enabled for this user in the
displayed partition. The "" indicates the partition from which
the user may be changed or deleted.
To CHANGE a Master, Manager, or Operator Code
Enter [Installer code]* + 8 + [User number (002-150)] + [new user's code]
* Or Master or Manager code, but must be code with higher level of authority than the code
being changed (i. e., Master Code can change a Manager or Operator-level Code, but cannot
change another Master Code; a Manager Code can change an Operator-level Code, but
cannot change a Master or another Manager Code).
User Number = 003
NEW USER?
The system detects that the user number is already assigned,
and will prompt if this is a new user.
Press 0 (NO).
The system will then confirm that the change is allowed based
on authorization level.
To Add an RF Key to an Existing User

General Information
The keypad allows the user to arm and disarm the system, and perform other system
functions, such as bypassing zones, viewing messages from the central station, and
displaying zone descriptors. Zone and system conditions (alarm, trouble, bypass) are shown
in the display window.
When an alarm occurs, keypad sounding and external sounding will occur, and the zone(s) in
alarm will be displayed on the keypad. Pressing any key will silence the keypad sounder for
10 seconds. Disarming the system will silence both keypad and external sounders. When the
system is disarmed, the system’s memory of alarm causes any zones that were in an alarm
condition during the armed period to be displayed. To clear this display, simply repeat the
disarm sequence (enter the security code and press the OFF key).
The keypads also feature chime annunciation, and 3 panic keys (for silent, audible, fire or
personal emergency alarms) which can notify the central station of an alarm condition, if
that service is connected.

Arming Functions
The following is a brief list of system commands. For detailed information concerning system
functions, refer to the User's Manual.
Display Faulted
Zones Before arming, the system must be in the READY condition (all
zones must be intact). If the "NOT READY" message appears, press
the READY * key to display faulted zones.
Arming Away Enter code + 2 (AWAY)
Arming Stay Enter code + 3 (STAY) (all zones designated as zone types 4 and 10
will be automatically bypassed).
Arming Instant Enter code + 7 (INSTANT) (same as STAY without entry delay).
Arming
Maximum Enter code + 4 (MAXIMUM) (same as AWAY without entry delay).
Disarming Enter code + 1 (OFF).
Bypassing Zones Enter code + 6 (BYPASS) + 3-digit zone number. To automatically
bypass all faulted zones, use "Quick Bypass" method: Enter code +
BYPASS + #.
Chime Mode Enter code + 9 (CHIME). To turn Chime Mode off, enter code +
CHIME again.
Quick Arming Note that if QUICK ARM is enabled (field *29), the # key can be
pressed instead of entering the security code, for any of the arming
procedures (Away, Stay, Instant, Maximum, etc.).
A user code other than the Installer Code must be programmed into the system in order for the
Quick Arm feature to work.

Global Arming
If enabled for the user, the keypad will display the following:
ARM ALL ?
0 = NO , 1 = YES
If NO, the keypad prompts for arming each partition
individually. If YES, the system attempts to arm all partitions
allowed by this user. If there are any faults (open doors,
windows, etc.) the keypad will display them. See notes below.
These faults must be corrected or the zone bypassed before
arming will occur. When faults are corrected, repeat the arming
procedure.
Notes:
When using the Global Arm feature, if there are faults in any of the selected partitions,
the system will enter a Summary Mode in which the faulted zones of all of the selected
partitions will be displayed. These faults must be corrected or bypassed (code + BYPASS
+ [#] will attempt to bypass the faults in all of the selected partitions). This Summary
Mode will end in approximately 120 seconds if no keys are pressed.
If, when disarming the system using a Global Disarm, any of the selected partitions has
a condition which would cause the keypad to beep (such as alarm memory or a trouble
condition), the system enter a Summary Mode in which the alarm memory or trouble
conditions of all of the selected partitions will be displayed. This mode will continue
until either approximately 120 seconds elapses or a second disarm occurs which clears
the beeping.
Access Control
The system has the capability to utilize access control by one of 3 methods.
1. One relay may be used for access control in each partition. The relay is programmed in
data field 1*76. To activate this relay, the user enters his User Code + [0]. The relay will
pulse for 2 seconds.
2. For a more powerful method of access control, program input devices (keypads, RF
buttons, hardwired) and output devices (relays) as access points (see the Access Control
section). Up to 32 access point devices (relays) among 8 partitions can be controlled. For
example, if a keypad is programmed as an access input device, then entering [User
Code] + [#73] or [User Code] + [#74] will activate the appropriate access point relays
(see also Zone Programming and Relay Programming in the #93 Menu Mode section).
3. If a Vista Gateway Module is installed along with the ADEMCO PassPoint Access
Control System, then these same inputs will automatically control the appropriate access
points in the PassPoint ACS. Entering [User Code] + [#75] will control the state
(protect, bypass, lock) of a door. Entering [User Code] + [#76] will pass a script number
to the PassPoint ACS. Entering [User Code] + [#77] will unbypass a PassPoint ACS
zone (see the Access Control section).
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions
31-4
Delaying Closing Time
If open/close schedules are used, end users can manually delay closing time by extending the
closing window by 1 or 2 hours. This is useful if a user must stay on the premises later than
usual. The user must have an authority level of Manager or higher.
To extend the closing window, enter [User code] + [#] +82.
Closing Delay ?
Hit 0-2 Hours
Enter the number hours, 1 or 2, by which the end of the closing
window should be extended. Note that the delay is from the
scheduled closing time, not from the current time.
Press [] to accept entry and exit this mode. Press [#] to exit
this mode without changes.
The system will send an Access Schedule Change report to the
central station when the closing window is extended (if
programmed).
An extension of the closing window cannot be reduced once it is set. However, a 1-hour delay can
be increased to 2 hours. This is to prevent the user from deleting the delay after the normal
window expires, thereby missing the end of the window.
Partition "GOTO" Commands
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only that
partition's information. To see information for another partition, or perform system functions
in another partition, use the GOTO command ([User Code] + [*] +partition number 0-8).
The keypad will remain in the new partition until directed to go to another partition, or until
120 seconds has elapsed with no keypad activity. To return to your home partition, enter []
+ Partition number 0.
You must program data field 2*18 to enable the GOTO function. This is a partition-specific field
that must be set for each partition the user wants to access from another partition's keypad
Viewing Capabilities of a User
The keypad will display the partitions that a user is authorized for, the user number, and the
authority level for all partitions authorized. Enter [User Code] + [] + []. The user's
capabilities in each authorized partition will typically be displayed as follows:
Part. 1 A0* WHSE
User 01 Auth.=1G.
The user's Open/Close report capability is shown by the dot
following the authority level. If Open/Close is not enabled for a
user, the dot will not appear.
Section 31 - Keypad Functions
31-5
Viewing Zone Descriptors
The Alpha Keypads can display all programmed descriptors, which is useful to the installer
when checking entries, and can be helpful to the user when there is a need to identify zones.
To display descriptors, the system must be disarmed and ready to arm. Press and
hold the READY key until the built-in instructions for that key appear, then release the key.
The zone descriptors will appear one at a time, for about 2-3 seconds each. For faster
viewing, press the READY key to display the next descriptor in numerical order, and so on.
When all descriptors have been displayed, the control will exit Display Mode. Enter the
Security Code and press the OFF key to exit Display Mode before all descriptors have been
displayed.
Viewing Downloaded Messages
Users may occasionally receive a message from their installation company displayed on an
alpha keypad. When this occurs, the keypad will display "Message. Press 0 for 5 secs."
Instruct the user to press and hold the 0 key to display the central station's message. Note
that the system must be in the READY state to view these messages.
Using the Built-in User’s Manual
An abbreviated User's Manual is stored in the system's memory, and can be particularly
useful to the end user if the printed User's Manual is not conveniently accessible when the
user needs to perform a seldom-used and unfamiliar system procedure. The Built-in User's
Guide is displayed by simply pressing any of the function keys (e.g., OFF, AWAY, STAY,
MAXIMUM, BYPASS, INSTANT, CODE, TEST, READY, #, and CHIME) for approximately
5 seconds and then releasing it. Abbreviated instructions relative to the key that has been
pressed will then be displayed (2 lines of text are displayed at a time). This function operates
in either the armed or the disarmed state.
Panic Keys
There are three panic key pairs (shown below) that, if programmed, can be used to manually
initiate alarms and send a report to the central station. Each key pair can be individually
programmed for 24 Hour Silent, Audible or Auxiliary (Emergency) responses, as well as Fire.
The panic function is activated when the appropriate key pair is pressed at the same time.
The panic functions are identified by the system as follows:
PANIC Displayed as Zone
* + 1
# + 3
* + #
995
996
999
For alpha keypads, these panic keys
can also be programmed with an alpha
descriptor.
For the panic functions to be of practical value, the system must be connected to a central station.
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions

Speed Key [D] (Macros)
The system supports up to 32 Speed Key (macro) commands. A Speed Key command is a
series of keystrokes stored in the system memory and activated when a programmed lettered
key is pressed. Each Speed Key command can include 32 keystrokes. Typical Speed Key
functions include:
Arming sequences that involve first bypassing certain zones before arming.
Seldom-used but repeatable sequences.
Relay activation sequences.
Lettered keys A-B-C can be assigned a specific Speed Key function by entering a Speed Key
number (1-32) in field 1*26.
Programming Speed Key Sequence
To program a macro, enter your [User Code] + [#] + [D]. The following appears:
ENTER SPEED KEY #
01-32 00=QUIT
Enter the 2-digit Speed Key number (01-32) being defined and press [*]. Enter up to 32
keystrokes. A Speed Key sequence can include different commands. Press the "D" key to
separate different commands.
For example, you may want to perform the following sequence:
Desired function Keystrokes
GOTO partition 2 Enter *2
Bypass Zones 10 & 11 Press bypass [6], then the zone numbers 010 & 011
Arm in Maximum Mode Press maximum [4] key
Return to Partition 1 Enter *1
To program that Speed Key sequence, type the following :
*2 D 6010011 D 4D *1 D D
Note that the "D" key is pressed after each command. Press "D" twice to complete the entry
and exit.
When defining Speed Key sequences, do not use the [#] key to represent Quick Arming. The
system uses the code entered in response to the prompt to initiate commands in a Speed Key
sequence, so the quick arm key is unnecessary. The system interprets the use of the [#] key in a
Speed Key sequence as its designated function only (e.g. #2 is not interpreted as "Arm-AWAY,"
but rather as "Enter House ID Sniffer Mode").
Executing Speed Key Sequence
To execute a Speed Key sequence, do the following:
If a lettered key, A-B-C, has been assigned as a Speed Key, press the appropriate key. If a
user code is required for any part of the Speed Key sequence, the following prompt appears.
Otherwise, the Speed Key sequence automatically begins.
ENTER USER CODE
✴✴✴✴
Enter your user code. The programmed Speed Key sequence will begin automatically.
Section 31 - Keypad Functions
31-7
To activate a Speed Key not assigned to the A-B-C keys, press and hold down the [D] key for
2 seconds until the following prompt appears:
ENTER SPEED KEY #
01-32 00=QUIT
Enter the desired Speed Key number.
If a user code is required for any part of the Speed Key sequence, the following prompt
appears. Otherwise, the Speed Key sequence automatically begins.
ENTER USER CODE
✴✴✴✴
Enter your user code. The programmed Speed Key sequence will begin automatically.
The system will apply the user code’s Global Arming capabilities if the macro executes any
arming or disarming commands.
Manual Relay Activation Mode (#70 Mode)
The system allows users to manually activate relays by keypad command using either the
keypad or a telephone keypad (if VIP Module is used). The user will be prompted (either by
keypad alpha display or telephone voice module).
To activate relays from a keypad, enter 4-digit [Security Code] + [#] +70.
To activate relays using a telephone and VIP Module, first dial the 2-digit phone access code.
When the system acknowledges the access, enter 4-digit [Security Code] + [#] + 70. The
following prompts/voice responses will begin.
ENTER DEVICE NO.
00=QUIT 01
Voice: "ENTER DEVICE CODE NOW"
Enter the 2-digit number of the relay to be activated.
nn DEVICE IS OFF
HIT 0=OFF , 1=ON
Voice: “’VOICE DESCRIPTOR’ DEVICE ‘NN’ ON/OFF. FOR
VOICE DESCRIPTOR’ ON, ENTER 1; FOR ‘VOICE
DESCRIPTOR OFF ENTER 0"
Press 0 or 1 to turn the device off or on respectively.
‘NN’ represents the 2-digit relay number and ‘VOICE
DESCRIPTOR is the relay voice descriptor programmed by the
installer (see Relay Voice Descriptors in the #93 Menu Mode).
VISTA-128FB Installation Instructions

nn DEVICE IS OFF
HIT THE "*" KEY
Voice: "’VOICE DESCRIPTOR’ DEVICE ‘NN’ ON/OFF. TO
EXIT, ENTER 00 NOW"
From a keypad, press [] to continue. The ENTER DEVICE
NO. prompt will appear.
From a telephone keypad, enter 00 to exit, or enter the next
relay number to be programmed. The current on/off state of
that relay will be annunciated as described above.
Alternatively, if 6 seconds elapses with no key depression, the
voice module will annunciate the "ENTER DEVICE CODE
NOW" message.
A relay that has been designated as a fire relay is automatically restricted to prevent
inadvertent activation/deactivation by users. Only the Installer Code can override this
restriction. If the installer attempts to access a fire relay, the message “RESTRICTED USE
OVERRIDE” will be displayed. The relay can then be tested for manual operation.

Battery Test
When AC power is present, the VISTA-128FB will run a brief battery test every 60 seconds
to determine if there is a battery connected, and will run an extended battery test every 24
hours to check on the battery’s condition. If the VISTA-128FB finds that the battery voltage
is low (less than approximately 11.5V) during one of these tests, it initiates a keypad
“SYSTEM LOBAT” display and a rapid console beeping sound. It also sends a Low Battery
report to the central station (if the dialer feature is used). The console can be cleared by
entering any security code + OFF, and a Restore report will be sent to the central station
after a subsequent test indicates that the problem (disconnected or low battery) has been
corrected.
If used, the PS24 will also run a brief battery test every 60 seconds to check that a battery is
connected, and will run an extended battery test every 17 hours to check the actual battery
condition. If the PS24 finds the battery voltage low (less than approximately 23V), it will
open-circuit its LOW BATTERY output. Be sure to wire this output to one of the VISTA-
128FB's EOLR-supervised zones (zones 3-8; program for 24-hour trouble response (zone type
19) so that the VISTA-128FB will initiate the required local annunciation and dialer reports).
Dialer Test
The VISTA-128FB may be programmed to automatically transmit test reports to a central
station at intervals ranging from once per hour to once per 999 hours (field *27). UL
requires that a test report be transmitted at least once every 24 hours. The VISTA-128FB
can be programmed to send the first report at any time of the day, or on any day of the week
after power-up (field *83).

Fire Drill Test (code + [#] + 69)
This test causes fire bells (or any bell having a non-zero response type in the #93 Menu
Mode) to be activated (in either steady or pulsing manner, as programmed in field 3*15) for
the purpose of conducting a fire drill or a bell test. This test can only be activated by the
installer or a master user from Partition 1 keypads by entering the corresponding security
code and pressing [#] + 69 while the burglary portion of the system is disarmed. Keypads
display "FIRE DRILL ACTIVE" while this test is active. The test is stopped by entering any
security code and pressing OFF. Note that the system continues to monitor all 24-hour zones
(fire, panic, etc.) while this test is active, and will end the test when an alarm condition is
detected. This test should be conducted at periodic intervals, as determined by the local
authority having jurisdiction.
One-Man Fire Walk-Test (code + [#] + 68)
This test causes the system to sound console beeps and bell dings in response to fire zone
faults (zone type 9, 16 & 17) for the purpose of allowing proper zone operation to be checked
without triggering alarms. Note that the system will not be operational as an alarm system
(i.e., cannot sense alarms) while this test is active. The test can only be activated by the
installer by entering the Installer’s Code and pressing [#] + 68 while the burglary portion of
the system is disarmed. This test should be conducted at periodic intervals, as determined by
the local authority having jurisdiction.
When this test is first activated, the system will display:
USE BELL DING?
0 = NO 1 = YES
Enter 1 (YES) to have the fire bells associated with each
point sound for 3 seconds when a point is faulted.
Enter 0 (NO) if only keypad sounders are desired.
The next prompt will be displayed.
AUTO-TEST DET?
0 = NO 1 = YES
Enter 1 (YES) to have the system automatically test all
polling loop points with a fire response type 9 or 16. Other
fire zones will have to be tested manually.
Enter 0 (NO) to test every point manually.
The next prompt will be displayed.
For true detector sensitivity tests, and for compliance with fire codes, you must enter 0
(NO) to this question.
LOG RESULTS?
0 = NO 1 = YES
Enter 1 (YES) to have the system log each point as it is
tested. A list of untested points will also be logged.
Enter 0 (NO) if you do not want the system to keep track
of the results.
The next prompt will only be displayed if Contact ID report
format has been selected.
Section 32 – Testing The System
32-3
C.S. TRANSMIT?
0 = NO 1 = YES
Enter 1 (YES) to have the results of the test sent to the
central station. This report will consist of a list of points
that have been tested followed by a list of points that have
not been tested.
Enter 0 (NO) if you do not want to report the results. A
Walk-Test Start and Walk-Test End report will be sent in
either case (if programmed).
When the Test Mode is activated, the system will sound fire bells (or any bell having a non-
zero response type programmed in the #93 Menu Mode) for 3 seconds. The system will also
send a Start of Walk-Test message to the central station, and will light all keypad indicators
and display window segments to verify that they are working properly. The keypads will
then display Fire Walk-Test in Progress and will sound a single beep every 15 seconds while
this test is active.
The system will build a list of all the fire zones (response types 9, 16, 17, 18) that need to be
tested. These points will be scrolled on the display. For each point, the keypad will display
"UNTST XXX," where XXX is the point number, followed by an alpha descriptor for the
point.
If the auto-test option has been selected, the control panel will attempt to automatically test
all of the polling loop points that have a zone response type of 9 or 16. For points that must
be manually tested, fault and reset each fire alarm sensor in turn. Each action should cause
keypads to beep and fire bells to ding. The keypads will display the zone number and the
associated alpha descriptor while the zone remains faulted. The system automatically issues
a smoke detector power reset about 10 seconds after it finds a fault on one of these zones, to
allow faulted detectors to be reset.
To end the test, enter any security code and press OFF. An End of Walk-Test message will be
sent to the central station (if programmed). Note that the test will automatically end if no
faults are detected within a 60-minute time period.
Burglary Walk-Test (Code + TEST [5])
This test causes the system to sound keypad beeps in response to faults on burglary and non-
fire related 24-hour zones for the purpose of allowing proper zone operation to be checked
without triggering alarms. Note that the system will not trigger alarms for burglary and
non-fire related 24-hour zones, but will trigger fire alarms while this test is active. This test
can only be activated by the installer, a master user or manager user by entering the
corresponding security code and pressing TEST while the burglary portion of the system is
disarmed. UL requires that this test be conducted on a weekly basis.
When this test is first activated, the system will sound burglary bells (or any bell having a
non-zero response type in each bell's supervisory zone) for 3 seconds. The system will send a
Start of Walk-Test message to the central station. The keypads will display Burg Walk-Test
in Progress and will sound a single beep every 15 seconds while the test remains active.
Open and close each protected door and window in turn. Each action should produce 3 beeps
from the keypad. Walk in front of any motion detectors. Listen for three beeps when the
detector senses movement. The keypad will display the zone number and alpha descriptor
while a door or window remains open or while a detector remains activated. The system
automatically issues a Zone 8 Glassbreak Detector Power Reset about 10 seconds after it
finds a fault on this zone, to allow faulted detectors to be reset.
To end this test, enter any security code and press OFF. An End-of-Walk-Test message will
be sent to the central station.

Armed Burglary System Test
1. Alarm messages will be sent to the central station during the following tests. Notify the
central station that a test will be in progress.
2. A display of "COMM. FAILURE" indicates a failure to communicate (no kissoff by the receiver
at the central station after the maximum number of transmission attempts is tried). If this
occurs, verify that the phone line is connected, the correct report format is programmed, etc.
1. Arm the system and fault one or more zones. Silence alarm sounder(s) each time by
entering the code and pressing OFF. Check that entry/exit delay zones provide the
assigned delay times.
2. Check the keypad-initiated alarms, if programmed, by pressing the panic keys (* and #, 1
and *, and/or 3 and #). If the system has been programmed for audible emergency, the
keypad will emit a loud, steady alarm sound. The word “ALARM” and a descriptor "999"
will be displayed for * and #. (If 1 and * are pressed, a "995" will be displayed; if 3 and #
are pressed, a "996" will be displayed.) Silence the alarm by entering the security code
and pressing OFF. If the system has been programmed for silent panic, there will be no
audible alarms or displays. A report will be sent to the central station, however.
3. Notify the central station that all tests are finished, and verify results with them.
Trouble Conditions
Supervisory Messages
A display of “SUPV” accompanied by a zone number (001-128) and an alpha descriptor (if
programmed) indicates that a fire supervisory condition exists on that zone. This means
that the operation of the fire alarm system may be compromised.
Check or Trouble Messages
A display of "CHECK" or "TRBL" (as per field 3*00) accompanied by a zone number (001-
128) and an alpha descriptor indicates that a problem exists with that zone. Zone trouble
may be caused by one of the following conditions:
A hardwired fire zone is open (broken wire)
A Day/Night zone (zone type 5) is faulted
A polling loop zone is not seen by the control panel
A polling loop zone has been tampered (cover removed on a 4190)
A wireless zone has not checked in during the time programmed in field 1*31
A 5800 Series transmitter has been tampered (cover removed)
"CHECK" accompanied by a numeric display of "6XX," where XX = 01-32, indicates a
trouble on a 4204CF Supervised Bell Output (corresponding relay number 01-32).
"CHECK" accompanied by a numeric display of "8XX," where XX = 00-31, indicates a
trouble on a peripheral device (connected to the panel's keypad terminals) of the
corresponding device address (00-31).
"CHECK" accompanied by a numeric display of "9XX," where XX = 00-99, indicates that
a system trouble exists (dialers, bell outputs, ground fault, etc.). See the Zone
Index/Zone Type Defaults section.
If the problem has been corrected, key an OFF sequence (Security Code + OFF) twice to clear the
display.

WARNING!
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
While this System is an advanced wireless security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or
other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a
variety of reasons. For example:
Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor
or disconnect an alarm warning device.
Intrusion detectors (e.g., passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work
without power. Battery-operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not
put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however
briefly.
Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if
the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the
path.
A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not acti-
vate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System
may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may
not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other
side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor
detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Finally, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No
smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by
carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending on the nature of the fire
and/or location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning
to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.
Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their
installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple
beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot
detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or
windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of
the optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however,
as the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F (32° to 40°C), the
detection performance can decrease.
Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the
other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence from the bed-
rooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear
the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic.
Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service
or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.
Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect
themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond
appropriately.
This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to
last as long as 20 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance.
This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly. The security
keypad (and remote keypad) should be tested as well.
Wireless transmitters (used in some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions.
Longevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless
device being used. External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature,
may all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery
situation, thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system.
Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a
substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting
themselves and continue to insure their lives and property. We continue to develop new and improved protection devices.
Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to learn about these developments.
