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.

floor_plan-001-V0

• 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.

THIS CONTROL COMPLIES WITH NFPA

REQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPORAL PULSE

SOUNDING OF FIRE NOTIFICATION

APPLIANCES.

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).

connection point. The following are examples of good earth grounds available at most

installations.

Metal Cold Water Pipe: Use a non-corrosive metal strap (copper is recommended) firmly

secured to the pipe to which the ground lead is electrically connected and secured.

AC Power Outlet Ground: Available from 3-prong, 120VAC power outlets only. To test

the integrity of the ground terminal, use a 3-wire circuit tester with neon lamp

indicators, such as the UL Listed Ideal Model 61-035, or equivalent, available at most

electrical supply stores.

Make sounder connections to alarm output terminals 3 (+) and 4 (–).

• The 12VDC sounder output activates when an alarm occurs.

• Total current drawn from this output cannot exceed 2 amps (going beyond 2 amps will

overload the power supply, or may cause the electronic circuit protecting the sounder

output to trip).

• You must install a battery, since the battery supplies this current.

Supervised output

1. Cut the red Bell Supervision Jumper located above terminals 2 and 3 on the PC board.

2. Connect a 2k ohm resistor across the terminals of the last sounder. See Figure 5.

This control complies with NFPA requirements for temporal pulse sounding of fire notification

appliances. Temporal pulse sounding for a fire alarm consists of: 3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses –

pause – 3 pulses–etc..

• Use only UL Listed sounding devices for

UL installations.

• Bell supervision is required for fire alarm

installations.

• The total current drawn from the alarm

output and the auxiliary power output,

combined, cannot exceed 600 mA. In

addition, the sounding device must be a

UL Listed audible signal appliance rated

to operate in a 10.2-13.8 VDC voltage

range, and must be mounted indoors.

any zone from 2-8 as shown in Figure 7 (on next page).

Power Reset: This control does not automatically reset power to 4-wire smoke

detector zones, so you must use a relay (e.g., 4204, 4229), or on-board trigger to reset

power (also required for fire verification). Do this by programming the designated

relay/trigger as zone type 54 (fire zone reset); see On-Board Trigger section for

other information.

NOTE: Maximum current on trigger 17 is 100mA.

Smoke Detector Notes •

••

• Fire Verification (zone type 16): The control panel will “verify” a fire 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.

SIA Installations: If using fire verification on zones other than zone 1, UL Fire Alarm

Listed relay accessories must be used to reset power as described in the Power Reset

paragraph above.

• The zone 1 alarm current supports only one smoke detector in the alarmed state.

•

••

• Clean Me Option: If enabled (field *174 = 1; *56 zone programming, response time

prompt = 3), certain ESL smoke detectors send “clean me” reports as appropriate. If

used, the maximum number of detectors is reduced to 10 (not standard 16). Refer to the

ESL documentation included with the smoke detector for information regarding

compatibility with the clean-me option.

• Do not use 4-wire smoke detectors on zone 1.

the control cabinet.

2. Connect the 5800TM to the control panel’s keypad connection terminals as shown on

the Summary of Connections diagram and set to address 28.

Installing the

Transmitters

• Refer to the table of compatible devices at the back of this manual.

• Supervised transmitters† send check-in signals to the receiver at 70-90 minute

intervals. If at least one check-in message is not received from each transmitter within

a 12-hour period, the “missing” transmitter number(s) and “CHECK” is displayed. (†

Hand-held transmitters, e.g., 5802, 5802CP, 5804, 5804BD, 5827, 5827BD, do not send

check-in signals.)

• To be sure reception of the transmitter's signal at the proposed mounting location is

adequate, perform a Go/No Go Test, described in the Testing the System section.

• Install transmitters in accordance with the instructions provided with each.

• Set 5827, 5827BD, 5804BD wireless keypads to the programmed House ID (field *24),

using its DIP switches (5827) or follow the instructions provided with the device.

• Use *56 or *58 Zone Programming Menu modes to program zone information and enroll

transmitters (VISTA-20P: zones 9-48, buttons 49-64; VISTA-15P: zones 9-34, buttons

49-56).

•

••

• Wireless Keys: Use Wireless Key Programming Templates section of the *58 Zone

Programming Menu mode to program zone information and enroll each button of the

wireless keys used. Once a wireless key is enrolled, it must be assigned to a user before

it becomes active. See Adding/Deleting Security Codes section for procedure.

ULC NOTE: In accordance with ULC standards, the RF supervision period for the VISTA-20PCN

and VISTA-15PCN is three hours for Fire zones (Zone Type 9 and 16) and 12 hours for all other zone

types.

UL The following transmitters are not intended for use in UL installations: 5802MN, 5802MN2, 5804,

5804BD, 5814, 5816TEMP, 5819, 5819WHS & BRS, and 5850.

The 5827BD and 5800TM can be used in UL Listed Residential Burglar installations.

Transmitter Battery Life • See Wireless Transmitter paragraph in the Limitations of This Alarm System

statement located at the end of this manual for information on transmitter battery

life.

• Some transmitters (e.g., 5802 and 5802CP) contain long-life but non-replaceable

batteries, and no battery installation is required. At the end of their life, the complete

unit must be replaced (and a new serial number enrolled by the control).

• Button-type transmitters (such as 5801, 5802, and 5802CP) should be periodically

tested for battery life.

• The 5802MN and 5804 Button Transmitters have replaceable batteries.

Do not install batteries in wireless transmitters until you are ready to enroll during

system programming. After enrolling, batteries need not be removed.

• Only one phone module can be used and it can only be connected to partition 1.

• The phone lines must be in service for the phone module to function, even when

accessing the system from an on-premises phone.

• If you are also using an Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) unit, refer to Audio Alarm

Verification (AAV) section for special wiring connections.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication

line cord for phone line connections.

Phone Module Problems If no touch tones are produced following access to the security system from on-premises

(this problem may arise in rare cases), it may be necessary to reverse the wires connected

to terminals 3 and 4 on the phone module and the wires connected to terminals (21) &

(22) on the control. The wiring diagram shows the wiring connections that will provide

proper operation in most cases.

Connection to the incoming telco line via a RJ31X jack and direct-connect cord, as shown,

is essential, even if the system is not connected to a central station. The 4285 or 4286 will

not function if this is not done and an error signal (fast busy signal) will occur when

trying to access the system via the phone.

The house phone lines (gray and brown wires) must be wired to the phone module

terminals; not to the control terminals. Otherwise, an error signal (fast busy signal) will

occur when trying to access the system from an on-premises phone.

SECTION 3

Programming Overview

About Programming

• You can program the system at any time, even at the installer's premises prior to the actual installation.

• Programming can also be performed remotely from the installer’s office/home, using an IBM personal

computer, a modem, and Compass downloading software.

The following is a list of the various Programming modes used to program this system.

Programming Mode… Used to …

Data Field Programming Program basic data fields used for setting the various system options.

Most of the data fields in this system have been programmed for specific default

values. However, some fields must be programmed for each particular installation to

establish its specific alarm and reporting features.

∗56 Zone Programming Assign zone characteristics, report codes, alpha descriptors, and serial numbers for

5800 RF transmitters. See *56 Zone Programming in Section 5. Menu Mode

Programming for procedures for programming zones.

∗57 Function Key

Programming

Program each of the four alphabet function keys to perform one of several system

operations.

∗58 Zone Programming

(Expert Mode)

Similar to ∗56 mode, but provides a faster programming procedure and is intended for

those more experienced in programming controls of this type.

∗79 Output Device Mapping Assign device addresses used by 4229 or 4204 Relay modules and map specific relays

and device outputs, and assign unit codes for Powerline Carrier devices.

See About Output Device Programming in Section 5. Menu Mode

Programming for details on setting devices for manual/automatic operation.

∗80 Output Definitions Define up to 48 output definitions which can control the output relays mapped using

*79 Output Device Mapping mode.

∗81 Zone List Programming Create Zone Lists for relay/powerline carrier zones, chime, night-stay, cross zones,

and pager zones.

∗82 Alpha Programming Create alpha descriptors for easy zone identification.

Scheduling Mode

(code + [#] +64)

Create schedules to automate various system functions.

Mechanics of Programming

To program the system from a keypad:

• You must use a 2-line Alpha display keypad.

• Both partitions must be disarmed.

Data Field Programming Procedures

Task Procedure

Entering Program Mode A) Press both [∗] and [#] at the same time within 50 seconds after power is applied,

B) After power-up, enter [Installer code (4-1-1-2)] + 8 0 0 (long beep indicates one of the

partitions is armed and system cannot enter program mode).

(method “B” is disabled if you exit Program mode using ∗98)

Go to a Data Field Press [∗] + [Field Number]. A display of “EE” or “Entry Error” means you have entered a

nonexistent field. Simply re-enter [∗] plus a valid field number.

Entering Data When the desired field number appears, simply enter the digits required. The keypad

beeps three times after the last digit is entered and automatically displays the next data

field in sequence.

If entering less than the maximum digits available (e.g., phone number field), enter the

desired digits, then press [∗] to end the entry.

Review a Data Field Press [#] + [Field Number]. The field’s data is displayed, but no changes can be made.

Deleting an Entry Press [∗] + [Field No.] + [∗] (applies only to phone number, account number, and pager

character fields).

Entering Interactive Mode Press [∗] + [Interactive Mode No.] (for example, ∗56) while in Program Mode. The Alpha

display keypad will display the first of a series of prompts.

After making the appropriate entry, press the [∗] key to accept the entry and continue to

the next prompt.

Loading Factory Defaults/Initializing for Download

To Load Default Entries Press ∗97 while in Program Mode. This resets all data fields to the default values shown

on the Program Form. Use ∗97 only if you wish to return to the original factory-

programmed defaults.

To Initialize Download ID Press ∗96 while in Program Mode. This initializes the system for downloading and resets

all the subscriber account numbers and CSID.

Do not press ✱97 to load defaults if any programming has been done previously—data

already programmed into the system will be changed!

Exiting the Programming Mode

Prevent installer code

reentry

Press ∗98. Exits Programming Mode and prevents re-entry by:

Installer Code + [8] + [0] + [0]. To enter the programming mode if ∗ 98 was used to exit,

you must first power the system down. Then power up again, and press [∗] and [#] at the

same time, within 50 seconds of powering up.

See field *88 for other Program mode lockout options.

Allow installer code

reentry

Press ∗99. Exits Programming Mode and allows re-entry by:

Installer Code + [ 8] + [0] + [0] or by: Pressing [∗] and [#] at the same time, within 50

seconds of power-up.

Zone Type Definitions

Zone types define the way in which the system responds to faults in each zone.

Zone Type Description

Type 00

Zone Not Used

Program a zone with this zone type if the zone is not used.

Type 01

Entry/Exit

Burglary #1

• Assign to zones that are used for primary entry and exit.

• Provides entry delay when zone is faulted if control is armed in the Away, Stay, or Night-Stay

modes.

• No entry delay provided when the panel is armed in the Instant/Maximum mode.

• Entry delay #1 is programmable for each partition (field *35).

• Exit delay begins whenever the control is armed, regardless of the arming mode selected, and

is programmable (field ✱34).

Type 02

Entry/Exit

Burglary #2

• Assign to zones that are used for entry and exit and require more time than the primary

entry/exit point.

• Provides a secondary entry delay, in same manner as entry delay #1.

• Entry delay #2 is programmable for each partition (field *36).

• Exit delay is same as described for Type 01.

Type 03

Perimeter

Burglary

• Assign to all sensors or contacts on exterior doors and windows.

• Provides an instant alarm if the zone is faulted when the panel is armed in the Away, Stay,

Night-Stay, Instant or Maximum modes.

Type 04

Interior Follower

• Assign to a zone covering an area such as a foyer, lobby, or hallway through which one must

pass upon entry (to and from the keypad).

• Provides a delayed alarm (using the programmed entry 1 time) if the entry/exit zone is faulted

first. Otherwise this zone type gives an instant alarm.

• Active when the panel is armed in the Away mode.

• Bypassed automatically when the panel is armed in the Stay or Instant modes;

if armed in Night-Stay mode, zones assigned to zone list 05 (night-stay zone list) are not

bypassed when system armed in Night-Stay mode.

Installation and Setup Guide

3-2

Type 05

Trouble by Day/

Alarm by Night

• Assign to a zone that contains a foil-protected door or window (such as in a store), or to a zone

covering a sensitive area such as a stock room, drug supply room, etc.

• Can also be used on a sensor or contact in an area where immediate notification of an entry is

desired.

• Provides an instant alarm if faulted when armed in the Away, Stay, Night-Stay, Instant or

Maximum (night) modes.

• During the disarmed state (day), the system will provide a latched trouble sounding from the

keypad (and a central station report, if desired).

Type 06

24-hr Silent Alarm

• Usually assigned to a zone containing an emergency button.

• Sends a report to the central station but provides no keypad display or sounding.

Type 07

24-hour Audible

Alarm

• Assign to a zone that has an emergency button.

• Sends a report to the central station, and provides an alarm sound at the keypad, and an

audible external alarm.

Type 08

24-hour

Auxiliary Alarm

• Assign to a zone containing an emergency button, or to a zone containing monitoring devices

such as water or temperature sensors.

• Sends a report to the central station and provides an alarm sound at the keypad. (No bell

output is provided.)

Type 09

Supervised Fire

• Provides a fire alarm on short circuit and a trouble condition on open circuit. A fire alarm

produces a pulsing bell output.

• This zone type is always active and cannot be bypassed.

Type 10

Interior w/Delay

• Provides entry delay (using the programmed entry time), if tripped when the panel is armed in

the Away mode.

• Entry Delay 1 begins whenever sensors in this zone are violated, regardless of whether or not

an entry/exit delay zone was tripped first.

• Bypassed when the panel is armed in the Stay or Instant modes; if armed in Night-Stay mode,

zones assigned to zone list 05 (night-stay zone list) are not bypassed when system armed in

Night-Stay mode.

Type 12

Monitor Zone

• Works as a dynamic monitor of a zone fault/trouble (not alarm). In the case of a short/open, the

message, "*ALARM*-24 Hr. Non-Burg. -#XXX " (where XXX is the zone number) will be sent

to the Central Station. The system keypad will display a “check” message indicating the

appropriate zone (but keypad beeping does not occur). Upon restoral of the zone, the message,

"*RESTORE*-24 Hr. Non-Burg. -#XXX " will be sent to the Central Station.

• The “check” message will automatically disappear from the keypad dynamically, when the

zone restores; a user code + off sequence is not needed to reset the zone.

• Faults of this zone type are independent of the system, and can exist at the time of arming

without interference.

• Since this is a “trouble” zone type, do not use this zone type with relays set to activate upon

“alarm.”

Type 14

24 Hour Carbon

Monoxide

Monitor

• Assigned to any zone with a carbon monoxide detector.

• The bell output will pulse when this zone type is alarmed.

• Always active and cannot be bypassed.

Type 16

Fire

w/Verification

• Provides a fire alarm when zone is shorted, but only after alarm verified.

• System verifies alarm by resetting zones for 12 seconds after short is detected. A subsequent

short circuit within 90 seconds triggers fire alarm.

• Provides a trouble response when zone is open.

Type 20

Arm-Stay (BR

only)

• Arms the system in Stay mode when the zone is activated.

• Pushbutton units send the user number to the central station when arming or disarming.

• User number for button must be assigned.

Type 21

Arm-Away (BR

only)

• Arms the system in Away mode when the zone is activated.

• Pushbutton units send the user number to the central station when arming or disarming.

• User number for button must be assigned.

Type 22

Disarm (BR only)

• Disarms the system when the zone is activated.

• User number for button must be assigned.

Programming Overview

3-3

Type 23 *

No Alarm

Response

• Can be used on a zone when an output relay action is desired, but with no accompanying

alarm (e.g., lobby door access).

Type 24

Silent Burglary

• Usually assigned to all sensors or contacts on exterior doors and windows where bells and/or

sirens are NOT desired.

• Provides an instant alarm, with NO audible indication at any keypad or external sounder, if

the zone is faulted when the system is armed in the Away, Stay, Instant, or Maximum modes.

• A report is sent to the central station.

Type 77

Keyswitch

• Assign to zone wired to a keyswitch.

• Do not use devices assigned as input type “BR” with this zone type.

Type 81

AAV Monitor

Zone

• Assign to zone connected to AAV module.

• Monitors 2-way voice sessions as follows:

- When the zone is faulted, all alarm sounding and dialer reporting stops, except

for fire alarms, which immediately terminate the voice session and cause

a fire report to be sent.

- When the zone is restored (session ended), sounding resumes (if bell timeout

has not expired) and reports that were stopped are sent.

Types 90-93

Configurable

Allows for various custom responses. Options include response to entry/exit delays, response

opens/shorts, types of alarm/trouble sounding, dial delay, and unique Contact ID report codes.

Types 92 and 93 can only be programmed via downloader. UL installations: Zone Types 90 -93

may not be used as fire or burglar alarm zones on fire or UL burglar alarm installations.

* The system can still be armed when these zone types are in a faulted condition.

NOTE: All of the zone types described are available for the wireless portion of the system, if used.

V20PSIA/V15PSIA: 45 - 96 = 45 - 96 secs; 97 = 120 secs

NOTE: Entries less than 45 will result in a 45-sec delay.

The system waits the time entered before arming

entry/exit zones. If the entry/exit door is left open after

this time expires, an alarm will occur. Common zones

use same delay as partition 1.

UL installations: For UL Commercial Burglar Alarm

(Grade AA) and UL Residential Burglar Alarm

installations with line security, total exit time must

not exceed 60 seconds. For UL Burglar Alarm

installations without line security (Grade A), total exit

time must not exceed 120 seconds.

SIA Guidelines: minimum exit delay is 45 seconds

System Status Report Codes

Zone report codes are programmed using interactive

✱56 or ✱58 Zone Programming modes, while system

status (non-alarm) codes and restore codes are entered

in data fields *59 - *68, *70 - *76, *89. The actual report

code digits that you enter depend upon the particular

installation, and should agree with the Central Station

office receiving the signals.

3+1 or 4+1 Standard Format: Enter a code in the

first box: 1–9, A, B, C, D, E, or F. Enter #+10 for A (this

reports a 0 on some receivers), #+11 for B, #+12 for C,

#+13 for D, #+14 for E, #+15 for F.

An entry of 0 in the first box disables a report.

Entering 0 in the second box advance to the next field.

Expanded or 4+2 Format: Enter codes in both boxes

(first/second digits) for 1–9 or A–F, as described above.

A 0 in the first box disables a report. A 0 in the second

box eliminates the expanded message for that report.

ADEMCO Contact ID® Reporting: Enter a digit in

the first box to enable the zone to report. Use a

different digit for each zone until you have used up

available digits. If the number of zones exceeds the

number of available digits, begin with digit 1 again.

This is an “enabling” code only and is not the actual

code sent to the Central Station office. Entries in the

second boxes are ignored. An entry of 0 in the first box

disables the report.

UL Report codes are required in fields *61, *65, *71, *72,

*59 Exit Error Report Code

0 = no report; 1-F = see description above

V20PSIA/V15PSIA: [1] Always enabled. Also see field *69.

After arming the system, entry/exit and interior zones

remaining open after exit delay expires cause an alarm

sound at the keypad and external sounder (keypad also

displays “EXIT ALARM”), and entry delay begins.

Disarming before the end of the entry delay stops the

alarm sounding and no message is sent to the central

station. The keypad will display “CA” (fixed-word) or

“ALARM CANCELED” (alpha display).

If the system is not disarmed before entry delay expires,

an “EXIT ALARM” message (V20PSIA/V15PSIA: also

zone alarm message) will be sent to the central station.

The keypad will display “EA” (fixed-word ) or “EXIT

ALARM” (alpha display), and alarm sounding continues

until the system is disarmed (or timeout occurs).

An Exit Alarm condition will also result if a fault occurs

in an exit or interior zone within 2 minutes following

the end of the exit delay, and an “EXIT ALARM”

message will be sent to the central station (except for

V20PSIA/V15PSIA, see field *69 Recent Closing

report). With Contact ID format, the message will

contain the zone number and error code 374

(“ALARM–EXIT ERROR”).

Similar to the Exit Error condition described in field

*59, but occurs if an entry/exit door or interior zone is

faulted within two minutes after the initial exit delay

expires. Disarming the system within the two minutes

stops the alarm sound and displays "ALARM

CANCELED " or "CA" and the faulted zone number.

No message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station.

If the system is not disarmed within two minutes, the

alarm sound continues and a “recent closing” and a

“zone alarm” message are sent to the Central

Monitoring Station (after dial delay expires).

If enabled, the system will automatically change

AWAY mode to STAY mode if the entry/exit door is

not opened and closed within the exit delay time after

a user arms in AWAY mode from a wired keypad (non-

RF device). An Opening report followed by an Armed

Stay report is sent to the Central Station.

If the door is opened and closed within the exit delay

period, the system remains in AWAY mode.

Any RF device that arms the system AWAY overrides

this feature and the system remains armed AWAY.

3 = 60 secs 7 = 3 min #+11 = 7 min #+15 = 15 min

Sets the maximum amount of time in which two cross

zones must be tripped in an armed system to send an

alarm message to the Central Station. If only one cross

zone is tripped during this time, a trouble message (CID

code 380) for that zone is sent to the Central Station.

Assign cross zone pairs in zone list 4.

This option not for use in UL installations.

*86 Cancel Verify Keypad Display

0 = no “alarm canceled” display

1 = display “Alarm Canceled” when system is disarmed

after an alarm has occurred. (To clear the “ALARM

CANCELED” display, the user must enter the security

code + OFF again.)

This feature causes a “ALARM CANCELED” display on

the LCD keypad under the following conditions:

• After the kissoff of the cancel message to the Central

Station, indicating a successful transmission.

• When an alarm is successfully canceled before the

Central Station received the Alarm message. E.g., if

an alarm is incorrectly triggered and the user

presses code + OFF before the dial delay time has

expired, the message will never go out to the CS.

• When the Cancel report is not enabled and the

system is disarmed:

a. before dialer delay expires (alarm report not

sent) message “Alarm Canceled” is displayed.

b. after dialer delay expires message “Alarm

Canceled” is not displayed.

event call waiting service is later canceled by the user).

††“Exit Delay Restart/reset” option allows use of the [∗] key to restart

the exit delay at any time when the system is armed STAY or

INSTANT. This feature also enables automatic exit delay reset, which

resets exit delay if the entry/exit door is re-opened and closed before

exit delay time expires after arming AWAY. Automatic Exit Delay

Reset occurs only once during an armed period.

IMPORTANT: AAV should not be used when Paging or Alarm

Reports are sent to a secondary number unless the monitoring

zone option is used (which pauses calls). Otherwise, the call to

the secondary number by the communicator after the alarm

report will prevent the AAV from taking control of the telephone

line, and the AAV “Listen in” session cannot take place.

UL UL installations using the AAV feature must use the

ADEMCO UVCM module (part of the ADEMCO UVS system).

Exit Delay Restart/Reset must be disabled.

touch screen devices does not affect the number of

standard keypads supported.

*189 AUI Device 1 and 2 Enable

VISTA-20P: Enter each touch screen (AUI) device’s

home partition.

0 = disabled; 1 = partition 1; 2 = partition 2; 3 = common

Set AUI 1 address to 1. Set AUI 2 address to 2.

AUI Compatibility Note: To ensure proper AUI device

operation, connect only to controls having microprocessor

version 3.0 or higher, and use AUI devices with the following

rev levels: 6270 series use version 1.0.9 or higher; 8132/8142

(Symphony) series use version 1.1.175 or higher.

Keypad Programming Fields

To enable keypads:

1. Set desired address at keypad (refer to keypad’s

instructions for setting the address).

2. Use data field program mode to enable keypad

addresses, assign a partition, enable sound options

in fields *190-*196 as shown in the table above.

3. If desired, use data field *198 to turn on the display

of the partition number.

4. Set the following keypad-related data fields as

required by the installation:

*21 Quick Arm Enable, *23 Forced Bypass, *84

Auto STAY Arm

5. If using touch screen devices (AUI), enable each

unit in field *189 and set AUI 1 to address 1, AUI 2

to address 2.

NOTE: Each keypad must be assigned a unique

address, starting at address 16 (address 16 is

reserved for keypad 1, which is automatically set to

partition 1 with all sounds enabled). Keypads

programmed with the same address will give

unpredictable results.

*190 Keypad 2 Device Address 17

*197 Exit Time Display Interval

0 = no display; 1-5 = seconds between display updates

If enabled, keypads display the exit time remaining

after arming the system, updated at the interval

selected (i.e. if the exit delay is 30 seconds and “2” is

selected in this field, the keypad display refreshes every

2 seconds, displaying 30, 28, 26, 24, etc.).

An interval greater than “1” may be necessary for some

older keypads to allow users time to enter key presses

between display updates.

FIXED-WORD KEYPAD NOTE: If using 2-digit

display keypads (e.g. 6150RF), do not use exit times

greater than the 96-second delay option. Using a longer

delay time may cause end-user confusion because 2-digit

display keypads cannot display times greater than “99.”

If longer exit time is required by the installation, it is

recommended that the Exit Time Display option be

disabled (“0”).

*198 Display Partition Number

VISTA-20P. 0 = no; 1 = yes

If selected, the partition number is displayed in the

upper-left corner of the display. This is useful when

using the GOTO partition function.

*199 ECP Fail Display

0 = 3-digit display (“1” + device address)

1 = 2-digit fixed-display as “91”

Select “0” if using Alpha keypads and/or 3-digit Fixed-

Word Display keypads. ECP faults will display “1” plus

the device address (00-30) of device causing the fault

(e.g., faults on device 07 display as “107”).

Select “1” if using 2-digit Fixed-Word Display keypads

(e.g., certain 6128 series keypads). If selected, ECP

faults for all devices will display as “91” on 2-digit

displays, and “191” on 3-digit or Alpha keypads.

Menu Mode Programming

Zones and Partitions

Each protection zone needs to be programmed with various attributes using *56 Zone Programming mode

or ✱58 Expert Programming Mode.

The VISTA-20P system can control two independent areas of protection (known as partitions) for use by

independent users, if desired, by simply assigning zones to one or the other partition during zone

programming. The VISTA-20P, by default, automatically distributes users between the two partitions. The

master user can change the user number distributions.

Zones can also be assigned to a common partition, which is an area shared by users of both partitions (such

as a lobby in a building). This allows either partition to arm, while leaving the common partition disarmed

for access into the other partition. The following describes the functioning of the VISTA-20P common

partition:

• The common zone sounds and reports alarms only when both partitions are armed. If only one partition

is armed, the system ignores faults on the common zone.

• Either partition may arm its system if the common zone is faulted, but once armed, the other partition

will not be able to arm unless the common zone is first bypassed or the fault is corrected.

• Faults on the common zone are displayed on common zone keypads, and will also appear on another

partition’s keypad when that partition is armed.

• Either partition can clear and restore the common zone after an alarm.

All of the RF transmitters have one or more unique factory-assigned input (loop) ID codes.

Each of the inputs requires its own programming zone (e.g., a 5804's four inputs require

four programming zones).

RF Transmitters can be enrolled as one of the following types:

Type Description

(Supervised RF)

Sends periodic check-in signals, as well as fault, restore, and low-

battery signals. The trans. must stay within receiver's range.

(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.

(Unsupervised

Button RF)

Sends only fault signals. It will not send a low-battery signal until it

is activated. The transmitter may be carried off-premises.

NOTE:

• For the built-in hardwired zones, the Input Device type is automatically displayed as HW

and cannot be edited.

• To change the input type of a previously programmed wireless device (type RF, UR, BR)

to a wired zone (type AW), you must first delete transmitter’s serial number (see To

About Output Device Programming (*79/*80 Menu Mode)

Output Devices: The VISTA-20P system supports up to 16 relays and/or Powerline Carrier devices

(X-10 devices) plus 2 built-in trigger outputs in any combination. These 18 “outputs”

are assigned to system-wide output numbers (01-18). Use *79 Menu Mode to assign

output numbers and map them to device addresses.

The VISTA-15P supports 8 relays and 2 built-in trigger outputs (total 10 outputs).

Output Functions: The system also provides installer-defined output functions, which can be assigned to

any of the physical outputs. Therefore, the action of any one of the outputs can be

based on as many of these functions as desired. This lets a single relay or X-10 device

perform many functions.

The controls support up to 48 output functions.

Use *80 Menu Mode to define output functions.

Relays and output devices are not recommended for life safety applications.

NOTE: When navigating the *79 and *80 menus: The [✱] key is used to accept an entry and advance to

the next prompt. The [#] key is used to revert back to the last question to check or change an entry. Press

[✱] to go forward again.

Programming Output Devices

1. Use *79 Menu Mode to assign module and output numbers and map them to device addresses.

NOTE: You must map output devices using *79 Menu Mode before you can use *80 menu Mode.

2. Use *80 Menu Mode to create output definitions, which control the output devices, if desired.

3. Use *81 Zone List Menu mode to define zone lists for use with output devices if the device action is

based on more than one zone.

• To program a device for manual activation (user code + [#] [7] / [#] [8] + 2-digit device number) or for

scheduled automatic activation, simply map the device using *79 Menu mode.

• To program a device to automatically activate upon a system event (or function key), use *79 Menu mode to

map the device, then use *80 Menu mode to define the automated device action.

*79 Menu Mode: Output Device Mapping

Use this menu to assign Relay Module device addresses and specific relay numbers, and Powerline Carrier

unit numbers. The system is based on predefined module addresses for 4204 and 4229 modules. Refer to the

table shown at the “Module Address” prompt on the next page and set the modules’ addresses (via module

DIP switches) accordingly.

The following table shows how these outputs are identified.

Output Identification

This output… is identified by…

Relays the Relay Module’s device address and the relay position on that module (i.e. the physical relay

number, 1-4, on that module).

*80 Menu Mode: Defining Output Functions

Use this mode to program output function definitions (up to 48 functions) that provide automated control of

any of the output devices, based on events occurring on individual zones or zones with certain zone types.

Each output definition is identified by an output function number, and includes the following components:

Output Definition Components

Component Description

Output Function No. A reference number that defines an output’s characteristics.

Activated By Determines whether the initiating event occurs on a zone, a zone list, or a zone type.

Event Event that triggers the output action. Can be an event occurring on a specific zone number or

a zone list, or a specific zone type.

Partition If the output is activated by zone type, this defines the partition in which the programmed

event is to cause the device action.

Output Action Defines the action of the relay/X-10 device when the defined event occurs. Can close for 2

seconds, stay closed until reset, continuously pulse (1-second close-open-close-open, etc.),

toggle the device state, or activate for a defined duration (set in data field *177).

Output No. Assigns this function to a specific output number (defined in *79 Menu Mode). This is the

output number that will perform this function upon the triggering event. Note that each

defined function is associated with only one output number. This means that if more than one

output device needs to perform this particular function, you need to define another output

function number with the same attributes, but assign the appropriate output number. (i.e.

output devices can be assigned more than one function number, but each function number can

only be assigned a single output number.

For example, if you want to pulse a strobe light upon fire alarms on zone 4 using a relay mapped to

output number 2 (as programmed in *79 Menu Mode), program the following in *80 Menu Mode:

Prompt Entry

Output Funct. # = 01 (assuming this is the first output function)

Activated By: = 3 (zone number)

Enter Zn No. = 04 (requires 2-digit zone numbers)

About Function Keys (*57 Menu Mode)

The system provides the ability to program each of the four keypad function keys to perform one of 12

system operations. The end user can then activate the function by simply pressing and holding the

programmed key for 2 seconds. Typical functions (listed below) include single-button arming, turning lights

on/off, or single-button paging.

To assign emergency key functions (function key option “00”), first program the respective emergency zone

number (95 for “A” key, 96 for “C” key, 99 for “B” key) with the desired zone type using *56 Zone

Programming mode, then use *57 Function Key menu mode to assign the desired key.

To use a function key to activate a relay action (*57 Menu mode key function 07), use *79 Menu mode to map

the output, and use *80 Menu mode to define the output’s action; select system operation type “66.”

To use a function key for a user macro, use *57 menu mode to activate the desired key, then define the

actual macro functions using the user code + [#] + [6] [6] command.

About Descriptor Programming (*82 Menu Mode)

The system lets you assign zone descriptors for protection zones, keypad panics, and RF receiver supervision

faults. Each description can be composed of a combination of words (up to 3) selected from a vocabulary of

196 words stored in memory (see a following page). In addition, up to 10 installer-defined words can be added

to those already in memory, plus 3 additional words can be assigned as partition descriptors. Thus, when an

alarm or trouble occurs in a zone, an appropriate description for that zone's location can be displayed at the

keypad. Zone descriptors are recommended for systems using Alpha display keypads, and are necessary if a

4285 or 4286VIP Phone Module is used.

NOTE: You can enter zone descriptors when the zone is being defined in ✱56 Menu mode, but we

recommend you do it using ✱82 Menu mode.

If using a 4285 or 4286VIP Phone Module, select from those words in the Alpha Vocabulary List shown

in boldface type. The phone module will not provide annunciation of the other words.

If a 4285/4286 Phone Module is added to an existing system, the Alpha descriptors presently in the

system should be reprogrammed, selecting from those words shown in boldface type in the Alpha

Vocabulary List. The phone module will not provide annunciation of any other words.

Programming Zone Descriptors (Menu Mode ∗

∗∗

∗82)

1. Enter index numbers for up to three words from the Alpha Vocabulary List for each descriptor by

following the prompts.

2. Enter up to ten 10-digit custom words, if desired, which can then be used in descriptors.

When defining descriptors:

Pressing... Does This...

[6] Accepts the entered index number and moves the cursor to the next position for a descriptor.

Adding Custom Words (will not be annunciated by 4285/4286 Phone Module)

You can add up to 10 installer-defined words to the built-in vocabulary, which can then be used when

programming zone descriptors. Each of the 10 words can actually consist of a word string of one or more

words, but no more than ten characters can be used for each word or word string.

When adding custom words, the keypad keys perform the following functions:

[4] Moves cursor one space to the left.

[6] Moves cursor one space to the right.

[8] Saves the new word in the system's memory.

1. Select Custom Word mode (enter 1) when the prompt “CUSTOM WORD ?” is displayed.

2. Enter the number (01–10†) of the custom word or word string to be created, corresponding to index

numbers 245 - 254 respectively (for example, if you are creating the first custom word or word-string,

enter 01, for the second, enter 02, etc.). A cursor will now appear at the beginning of the second line.

† or 11, 12, 13 for partition 1, partition 2 and common lobby descriptors respectively. See Assigning Partition Descriptors

paragraph below.

NOTE: Custom words 8, 9, and 10 are “reminder words” that are programmed using Scheduling Mode.

3. Refer to the Character List of letters, numbers, and symbols on a following page.

Press [#], followed by the two-digit entry for the first letter you would like to display (e.g., # 65 for “A”).

The cursor will then move to the right, in position for the next character.

To delete a character, simply enter the SPACE character (#32).

4. Repeat Step 3 to create the desired word(s). Note that the “4” key can be used to move the cursor to the

left, if necessary. Remember, no word or word-string can exceed 10 characters.

5. Press the [8] key to save the custom word(s) and return to the “CUSTOM WORD ?” display.

Repeat Steps 2–5 for other custom words to be entered. To change a custom word, just overwrite it. If no

more are to be entered now, press [0] to return to the Descriptor entry. The custom word(s) will be

automatically added to the built-in vocabulary.

Assigning Partition/Custom Message Descriptors

VISTA-15P: You can create a custom message display that appears on alpha keypads instead of “System

Ready.” To assign a custom message, use word number 11 as described below.

VISTA-20P: You can assign a partition descriptor (up to 16 characters) for each partition plus the common

lobby. The system displays the appropriate partition’s word instead of “DISARMED READY TO ARM.”

Use the same procedure as for adding custom words (described above), but use these word numbers in step 2:

11 = partition 1 ___________________________________________

12 = partition 2 ___________________________________________ (VISTA-20P only)

13 = common lobby ________________________________________ (VISTA-20P only)

Once a custom word is entered in any of these word locations (11-13),

SECTION 6

System Communication and Operation

Panel Communication with Central Station

This system accommodates several formats for reporting alarms and other system conditions to the Central

Station. The process of a successful transmission consists of both the method of communication between the

control panel and the Central Station receiver; and the actual way the information is sent and displayed at

the Central Station.

When the 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.

If the handshake frequency is not given or is not understood by the panel, the panel will not send its

message. Once the handshake frequency is received and understood by the panel, the panel sends its

message. If there is an error in the transmission (the receiver does not receive a “valid” message), the kissoff

frequency is not given by the Central Station receiver.

The panel makes a total of eight attempts to the primary telephone number and eight attempts to the

secondary telephone number (if programmed) to get a valid message through. If the panel is not successful

after its numerous attempts, the keypad displays COMM. FAILURE (on alpha keypads) or FC (on fixed-

word keypads).

Report Code Formats

The following chart indicates the types of (handshake/kissoff) frequencies that the panel supports and the

different formats that can be sent with each.

Various System Trouble Displays

Alpha Display Fixed Disp. Meaning

ALARM CANCELED CA will appear if an exit or interior zone contained a fault during closing at the

time the Exit Delay ended (e.g., exit door left open), but the system was

disarmed during the Entry Delay time. The alarm sounder and keypad sound

continuously, but stop when the system is disarmed. No message will be

transmitted to the central station.

EXIT ALARM EA appears when Exit Delay ends if an exit or interior zone contained a fault

during closing. The alarm sounder and keypad sound continuously until the

system is disarmed (or timeout occurs). An “Exit Alarm” message is sent to the

central station. Also results if an alarm from an exit or interior zone occurs

within 2 minutes after the end of an Exit Delay.

CHECK CHECK

indicates that a problem exists with the displayed zone(s) and requires

attention.

ALARM 1xx

FAULT 1xx

CHECK 1xx

1xx

indicates that communication between control and a zone expander or wireless

receiver is interrupted, where “xx” is the device address. Check the wiring and

DIP switch settings on the units.

If field *199 is set to “1,” all ECP module problems are displayed as “91.”

If there are wireless sensors in the system, the Check condition may also be

caused by some change in the environment that prevents the receiver from

receiving signals from a particular sensor.

SYSTEM LO BAT BAT with no zone number indicates that the system's standby battery is weak.

LO BAT BAT with a zone number and a once-per-minute beeping at the keypad indicates

that a low-battery condition exists in the wireless sensor displayed (zone “00”

indicates a wireless keypad). If the battery is not replaced within 30 days, a

“CHECK” display may occur.

NOTE: Some wireless sensors contain a non-replaceable long-life battery which

requires replacement of the entire unit at the end of battery life (e.g., Nos.

5802, 5802CP).

TELCO FAULT 94 Telephone Line Failure, indicates that a monitored telephone line (if

programmed in field *92) has been cut or disconnected. Depending on how the

system was programmed, the keypad may also produce a trouble sound, and

the external sounder may be activated. Silence by entering installer code +

OFF.

Busy-Standby dl If this remains displayed for more than 1 minute, the system is disabled.

Mode m Comm CC The system is in communication with the central station for change of function

or status verification.

no display no display Power Failure

If there is no keypad display at all and the LEDs are unlit, operating power

(AC and battery) for the system has stopped and the system is inoperative.

If the message “AC LOSS” (Alpha display keypads) or “NO AC” (Fixed-Word

display keypads) is displayed, the keypad is operating on battery power only.

If the battery standby capacity is used up during a prolonged AC power outage,

the control's power will shut down to minimize deep discharge of the battery.

Comm. Failure FC A communication failure has occurred.

Open Circuit OC The keypad is not receiving signals from the control; sees an open circuit.

Testing the System

About Test Procedures

After the installation is complete, you should perform the following tests:

System Test: Checks that all zones have been installed properly and the system responds to faults.

Dialer Test: Checks that the phone connection to the central station is working properly.

Go/No Go Test: Checks that transmissions can be received from transmitters. Should be performed

before permanently mounting transmitters.

RF Sniffer Mode: Checks that RF transmitter serial numbers have been properly enrolled.

Battery Tests: Automatic battery tests are performed by the system.

System Test

With the system in the disarmed state, check that all zones are intact (not faulted). Doors and windows

with contacts should be closed, PIRs should be covered (use a cloth to mask them temporarily if necessary).

If a “NOT READY” message is displayed, press [∗] to display the faulted zone(s). Restore faulted zone(s) if

necessary, so that the “READY” message is displayed.

1. Enter Installer Code + 5 [TEST] , then press “0” at the prompt to start Walk Test mode.

1=DIAL, 0=WALK (no special display on Fixed-Word keypads)

The following will be displayed and a Contact ID report will be sent (code 607):

TEST IN PROGRESS (“dd” displayed on Fixed-Word Display Keypads)

2. Upon entering the system test mode, the outside sounder should sound for 1 second.

If the backup battery is discharged or missing, the sounder may not turn on and a “LOW BATTERY”

report will be transmitted with a “TEST” report.

The keypad will beep about every 40 seconds as a reminder that the system is in the Test mode.

NOTE: Wireless motion detectors (Passive Infrared units) will send signals out only if they have been

inactive for 3 minutes (conserves battery life).

3. Test all sensors using the procedure described in the User’s Guide “Testing the System” section.

4. After checking sensors, turn off the test mode by entering installer code + OFF.

NOTE: Test mode automatically ends after 4 hours. During the final 5 minutes (after 3 hours 55

minutes of Test mode), the keypad emits a double-beep every 30 seconds to alert that the end of Test

mode is nearing.

Checking Transmitter Enrollment (Sniffer Mode)

Use this mode to verify that all transmitters have been properly programmed. Make sure both partitions

are disarmed before trying to enter this mode, since this is a system-wide command.

1. Press [Installer code] + [#] + 3.

NOTE: If the communicator is in the process of sending a report to the central station, the system will

not go into the Sniffer mode. If so, wait a few minutes, and try again.

The keypads in both partitions will display all zone numbers of wireless units (in both

partitions) programmed into the system. Fault each transmitter in turn, causing each one to

send a signal. As the system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone number of

that transmitter disappears from the display.

2. After all transmitters have been checked, exit the sniffer mode by keying [Installer code] + OFF.

IMPORTANT: Sniffer mode does not automatically expire. You must manually exit Sniffer mode (by

entering [Installer code] + OFF) to return to normal operation.

7-1

NOTES: • All BR type units must physically be activated to clear the display.

• When one button of a transmitter (RF, UR, or BR) is activated, all zones assigned to other

buttons on that transmitter are cleared from the display. This also applies to 5816 and

5817 transmitters, which have multiple loops (zones).

• Any transmitter that is not “enrolled” will not turn off its zone number.

Go/No Go Test Mode

The Go/No Go Test verifies adequate RF signal strength from the proposed transmitter location, and allow

you to reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary, before mounting the transmitters permanently. This

mode is similar to the Transmitter Test mode, except that the wireless receiver gain is reduced. This will

enable you to make sure that the RF signal from each transmitter is received with sufficient signal

amplitude when the system is in the normal operating mode.

1. Enter [Installer code] + [#] + 4 from the partition being tested. For multi-partition systems, repeat this

test for each partition.

2. After you have placed transmitters in their desired locations and the approximate length of wire to be

run to sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw terminals (if used), fault each transmitter. Do not

conduct this test with your hand wrapped around the transmitter, as this will cause inaccurate results.

a. The keypad will beep three times to indicate signal reception and display the zone number.

b. If the keypad does not beep, you should reorient or move the transmitter to another location.

Usually a few inches in either direction is all that is required.

4. If each transmitter produces the proper keypad response when it is faulted, you can then permanently

mount each of the transmitters according to the instructions provided with them.

5. Exit the Go/No Go Test mode by entering: [any user code (partition-specific)] + OFF.

Dialer Communication Test and Periodic Test Reports

1. Enter Installer Code + 5 [TEST], then press “1” at the prompt to start the Dialer Test.

1=DIAL, 0=WALK (no special display on Fixed-Word keypads)

The following will be displayed (accompanied by 2 beeps) if test is successful:

PHONE OKAY (“Cd” displayed on Fixed-Word Display Keypads)

A Contact ID report will also be sent (code 601)

If the dialer test is unsuccessful, “COMM FAILURE” (or FC) is displayed.

2. Enter Installer code + OFF to clear the display and exit.

Automatic Periodic Test Report

The system can be set to automatically send test reports (enabled in field *64; Contact ID code 602) at

specified intervals. Frequency of the reports is set in Scheduling mode (event 11) or by the following key

commands: installer code + [#] + 0 + 0 = test report sent every 24 hours

installer code + [#] + 0 + 1 = test report sent once per week

installer code + [#] + 0 + 2 = test report sent every 28 days

Each mode sets schedule 32 (VISTA-20P) or schedule 08 (VISTA-15P) to the selected repeat option; the first

test report is sent 12 hours after command.

To ensure that test reports are sent at the times expected, set the Real-Time Clock to the proper time

before entering the test report schedule command.

Automatic Standby Battery Tests

1. An automatic test is conducted every 3 minutes to ensure that a standby battery is present and

properly connected. If a battery is not present or is not properly connected, a “LOW BATTERY”

message is displayed and, if so programmed, will be reported to the central station.

2. A battery capacity test is automatically conducted for 2 minutes every 4 hours, beginning 4 hours after

exiting the Programming mode or after powering up the system. In addition, entry into the Test mode

will also cause a battery capacity test to be initiated. If the battery cannot sustain a load, a “Low

Battery” message is displayed and, if so programmed, will be reported to the central station.

SECTION 10

Limitations and Warranty

WARNING

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM

While this System is an advanced design 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 activate 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 bedrooms, 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 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.

WARNING

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM

(Continued)

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.

LIMITED WARRANTY

Honeywell International Inc., acting through its Security & Custom Electronics business ("Seller") 165 Eileen Way,

Syosset, New York 11791, warrants its product(s) to be in conformance with its own plans and specifications and to be

free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for 24 months from the date stamp

control on the product(s) or, for product(s) not having a manufacturer’s date stamp, for 12 months from date of original

purchase unless the installation instructions or catalog sets forth a shorter period, in which case the shorter period

shall apply. Seller's obligation shall be limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, free of charge for materials or

labor, any product(s) which is proved not in compliance with Seller's specifications or proves defective in materials or

workmanship under normal use and service. Seller shall have no obligation under this Limited Warranty or otherwise

if the product(s) is altered or improperly repaired or serviced by anyone other than Honeywell factory service.

Connection of any device(s) to a communicating bus of a Honeywell security system (e.g., keypad bus, polling loop)

other than those manufactured or approved by Honeywell shall void this warranty. For warranty service, return

product(s) transportation prepaid, to Honeywell Factory Service, 165 Eileen Way, Syosset, New York 11791.

THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE HEREOF. IN NO CASE SHALL

SELLER BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS OR

ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR UPON ANY OTHER BASIS OF LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF

THE LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE SELLER'S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT.

Seller does not represent that the product(s) it sells may not be compromised or circumvented; that the product(s) will

prevent any personal injury or property loss by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; or that the product(s) will in all

cases provide adequate warning or protection. Customer understands that a properly installed and maintained alarm

system may only reduce the risk of a burglary, robbery, fire, or other events occurring without providing an alarm, but

it is not insurance or a guarantee that such will not occur or that there will be no personal injury or property loss as a

result. CONSEQUENTLY, SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY

DAMAGE OR OTHER LOSS BASED ON A CLAIM THAT THE PRODUCT(S) FAILED TO GIVE WARNING.

HOWEVER, IF SELLER IS HELD LIABLE, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY LOSS OR

DAMAGE ARISING UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE OR

ORIGIN, SELLER'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY SHALL NOT IN ANY CASE EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF

THE PRODUCT(S), WHICH SHALL BE THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER.

This warranty replaces any previous warranties and is the only warranty made by Seller on this product(s). No

increase or alteration, written or verbal, of the obligations of this Limited Warranty is authorized.
