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 maximum 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).

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide
Security Codes
• One Master code for entire system (User 2). Installer code is User 1.
• 4 secondary user codes (Users 3–6).
• One duress code (User 8).

Duress Code: An emergency code that, when used to disarm or arm the system, will send a
silent duress message to the central station.

Keypad Panic Keys
•

Up to 3 programmable panic key functions are provided.

•

Designated as Zones 7, 95, 96.

•

Activated by wired and wireless keypads.

•

Paging Feature
If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to
certain conditions as they occur in your system, and display code numbers indicating the type
of condition that has occurred.
Quick Arm Feature
“Quick Arm” may be programmed, allowing use of the [#] key in place of the security code for
arming (Quick Arm will not work unless the Master code has been programmed into the
system).
Optional Bell Supervision
This is a hardware-enabled option, achieved by cutting a red jumper on the PC board. If the
“Alarm Output” loop connected to an external sounder is then opened or shorted, a “bell
trouble” message will be displayed at the touchpads, accompanied by a trouble sound. A
trouble report will also be sent to the central station.
Optional RF Jam Detection for 5800 Wireless Systems
If RF jam detection is programmed for a 5800 RF system, the RF receiver will detect a
condition that may impede proper RF reception (i.e., jamming or other RF interference). Such
a condition will produce a message display, and a report will be sent to the central
monitoring station (if trouble reporting is enabled).

Mounting the Cabinet
Mount the control cabinet to a sturdy wall using fasteners or anchors (not supplied), in a
clean, dry area that is not readily accessible to the general public. Four mounting holes are
provided at the back of the cabinet for this purpose.
If an RF receiver is being used and you intend to mount its PC board within the cabinet, note
the following:
•

Do not mount the cabinet on or near metal objects. This will decrease RF range and/or
block RF transmissions from wireless transmitters.

•

Do not locate the cabinet in an area of high RF interference (revealed by frequent or prolonged lighting of the LED in the receiver after it is operational). Random flicker is OK.

Installing the Lock
Use an ADEMCO No. N6277 Cam Lock and No. N6277–1 Push-On Clip (Retainer Clip).
NOTE: The cabinet can be closed and secured without a lock by using 2 screws in the cover's
edge.
1. Remove the cabinet door. It is easily
removable for servicing and is easily
re-installed.
2. Remove the lock knockout from the
control cabinet door. Insert the key
into the lock. Position the lock in the
hole, making certain that the latch
will make contact with the latch
bracket when the door is closed.
3. Hold the lock steady, and insert the
retainer clip into the retainer slots.

This section lists the wired keypads that may be used and provides instructions for wiring
and mounting the keypads.
A preliminary checkout procedure is also provided to ensure that the connected keypads are
functioning properly in the system.

Keypads That May Be Used
•

Fixed-Word Display: 6127, 6128, 6137

•

Alpha Display: 6138, 6139

•

Up to 4 keypads, independent of auxiliary power considerations (you may need to use an
auxiliary power supply if the 500mA aux. output is exceeded)

If you are going to use a 4285/4286 VIP Module, you MUST use addressable keypads (6128,
6137, 6138, 6139) in the system, but set to the non-addressable mode (address 31).

Wiring to the Keypads
1. Determine wire gauge by referring to the wiring length/gauge chart below.
For devices (keypads, RF receivers, etc.) connected to a single 4-wire run, determine the
current drawn by all units connected to the single wire run, then refer to the Wiring Run
chart to determine the maximum wire length that can be safely used for each wire size.
Current draw for all devices can be found in the SPECIFICATIONS & ACCESSORIES
section.
NOTE: Refer to “Auxiliary Device Current Draw Worksheet” in the FINAL POWER-UP
section for current draw for all keypads.
Maximum wire lengths for any device that is homerun to the control can also be determined
from the chart, based on the current draw of that device alone.

The length of all wire runs must not exceed 1500 feet (457m) when unshielded quad conductor
cable is used (750 feet if shielded cable is used). This restriction is due to the capacitive effect
on the data lines when quad cable is used.
2. Run field wiring from the control to the keypads (using standard 4-conductor twisted
wire cable using the wire gauge determined in step 1).
3. Connect remote keypads to terminals 4, 5, 6, and 7 on the control board, as shown in
Figure 5.

Mounting the Keypads
1. Make sure addressable-type keypads (6128, 6137, 6138, and 6139) are set to nonaddressable mode (address 31), which is the factory default setting. Refer to the
instructions provided with the keypad for address setting procedure.
2. 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 an appropriate Trim Ring
Kit: 6139TRK). Refer to the mounting instructions and template included with the
keypad and/or trim ring kit for specific information.

Supplementary Power for Additional Keypads
The control provides 500mA for powering keypads (up to a maximum of 4) and other devices
from the auxiliary power output. The backup battery will supply power to these keypads in
the event that AC power is lost.
When the control’s auxiliary power load for all devices exceeds 500mA, you can power
additional keypads from a regulated, 12VDC power supply (e.g., 487-12 supplies 12V, 250mA;
488-12 supplies 12V, 500mA). Use a UL Listed, battery-backed supply for UL installations.
The 487-12/488-12 power supplies have a backup battery that can power these keypads in the
event of AC power loss.

3-2

Section 3 - Installing Remote Keypads
Keypads powered from supplies that do not have a backup battery will not function when AC
power is lost. Therefore, be sure to power at least one keypad from the Control's auxiliary
power output.
Connect the additional keypads as shown in Figure 6, using the keypad wire colors shown. Be
sure to observe the current ratings for the power supply used.
Make connections directly to the screw terminals as shown in Figure 6. Make no connection to
the keypad blue wire (if present).
Be sure to connect the negative (–) terminal on the Power Supply unit to terminal 4 (AUX – ) on
the control.

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 1000 ohm end-of-line resistor across each of the basic hardwire
zones 1–6, as shown in the Summary of Connections diagram.
Without actual zone wiring or EOL resistors connected, the keypads in the system will not
display the “Ready” message.
2. Power-up the system temporarily by plugging the AC transformer (previously wired to the
control) into a 120VAC outlet.
3. B u s y – Standby (on alpha keypads) or dI (on fixed-word keypads) will be displayed.
After approximately 1 minute*, the green READY LED (or POWER LED on some types of
keypads) should light, and the word "READY" (on fixed-word keypads) or the words
"DISARMED...READY TO ARM" (on alpha keypads) should be displayed, indicating the system
is functioning properly.
* To bypass the 1-minute delay, press # + 0.

3-3

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide
If the “Ready” message is not displayed on any of the keypads in the system, or a “Not
Ready” message is displayed, check the keypad wiring connections, and make sure each of
the 6 basic hardwired zones has a 1000 ohm resistor connected across its terminals.
Do not remove the EOL resistors until you are ready to make connections to the hardwired
zones, to allow for testing later in the manual.
If an OC or OPEN CIRCUIT display is present on the keypad, data from the control is not
reaching the keypad. Check the wiring.

Installing the Hardwired Zones
Common Characteristics for Zones 1–6

•

Response time from 300 - 500 milliseconds (400 milliseconds nominal).

•

Zone 3 can be programmed (in field ✱52) for normally-closed sensor fast response
(10mSec max) to an open (suitable for vibration type contacts). Default response is
400mSec nominal, which should be used for most standard contacts.

•

EOLR supervised zones support both open-circuit and closed-circuit devices.

•

As many 4-wire smoke detectors as can be powered from Aux Power on the control (on
zone 5).
4-Wire Smoke/Combustion detectors are not permitted in UL installations.

Wiring Burglary and Panic Devices to Zones 1–6
To wire burglary and panic devices to zones 1-6, perform the following steps, referring to
Figure 17. VISTA-10SE Summary of Connections on the inside back cover of this manual.
1. Connect sensors/contacts to the hardwired zone terminals (8 through 16). See the
Summary of Connections diagram.
2. Connect closed circuit devices in series in the high (+) side of the loop. The EOL resistor
must be connected in series with the devices, following the last device. See the Summary
of Connections diagram.
3. Connect open circuit devices in parallel across the loop. The 1000 ohm EOLR must be
connected across the loop wires at the last device.
If the EOLR is not at the end of the loop, the zone will not be properly supervised, and the
system may not respond to an open circuit on the zone.
Wiring 4-Wire Smoke/Combustion Detectors on Zone 5
The system will support as many 4-wire detectors as can be powered from Auxiliary Power
on the control on zone 5. Refer to the detector’s instructions for complete details regarding its
proper installation and operation.
1. Connect 12-volt power for the detectors from Auxiliary Power terminals 4 and 5 (which
will interrupt power for fire alarm reset). Observe proper polarity when connecting
detectors. See Figure 7.
2. Connect detectors (including heat detectors, if used) across terminals of zone 5. All
detectors must be wired in parallel.
Remove 1000 ohm EOL resistor if connected across the zone terminals. You must connect the
EOL resistor across the loop wires at the last detector.

Programming Hardwired Zones
Each zone must be programmed into the system using the ✱56 Zone Programming Mode or
✱58 Expert Programming Mode, which assigns characteristics that define the way the system
responds to faults on that zone. Refer to the ZONE RESPONSE TYPE DEFINITIONS and
ZONE PROGRAMMING sections for specific instructions on programming hardwired zones.

About Wireless Expansion
The VISTA-10SE supports up to 16 wireless zones that may be used exclusively or in
addition to hardwired zones 1 through 6.
The receiver detects signals from wireless transmitters within a nominal range of 200 feet.
The following 5881 Receivers may be used with this system (5882 in Canada), and each
supports the number of zones shown:
RF Receiver

No. of Zones

5881L/5882L

up to 8

5881M/5882M

up to 16

5881H/5882H

up to 16

Wireless may not be used in UL Commercial Burglary installations.

In Canada, 5800 systems must use 5882 Series receivers. Information relative to the 5881
Series of receivers applies as well to the 5882 Series. 5881 and 5882 Series receivers can
support the same 5800 type transmitters.

Any zone number from 10–25 can be used as a 5800 Series wireless zone (do not confuse this
with the number of zones that can be used, which is shown in table above).
Receiver Supervision
The receiver is supervised. The following conditions cause a Trouble report to be generated
and CHECK and ZONE 09 messages to be displayed:
•

Communication between the panel and the receiver is interrupted.
or

•

No valid RF signals from at least one supervised wireless transmitter are received within
12 hours.

House Identification
If you are using a 5804BD, 5827, or 5827BD Wireless Keypad with the system, you must
program a House ID Code (01-31) in field ✱24 to establish proper communication. The keypad
must be set to the same ID.
House ID 00 disables all wireless keypads.

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide

Installing the 5881/5882 Receiver
RF System Installation Advisories
Follow the guidelines below when installing the RF receiver. (Disregard if the receiver is
mounted in the control cabinet.)
• Place the RF receiver in a high, centrally located area for best reception.
• Do not locate the receiver or transmitters on or near metal objects. This decreases range
and/or block transmissions.
• Do not locate the receiver in an area of high RF interference (revealed by frequent or
prolonged lighting of the LED in the receiver; random flicker is OK).
• The RF receiver must be at least 10 feet from any remote keypads to avoid interference
from the microprocessors in those units.

Section 5 - Wireless Expansion

Installing the 5800TM Module
Installation of this module is necessary only if you are using one or more 5827BD Wireless
Bi-directional keypads, 5804 or 5804BD Transmitters (wireless keys).
Mounting the 5800TM Module
The 5800TM must be located next to the RF 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.
Wiring the 5800TM Module
Connect the 5800TM to the control panel’s keypad connection terminals, using the supplied
connector with flying leads, as follows:
Wire

Not Used

Do not cut any of the jumpers on the 5800TM when using it with the VISTA-10SE.
For additional information, refer to the 5800TM’s instructions.

About Jam Detection and Reporting
When field ✱22, option 4 (RF SYSTEM) is selected, a 5800 Series receiver detecting a jam
condition sends an E344 (RF Receiver Jam Detect) Contact ID report to the central station.
At the same time, a Rcvr Jam (on alpha keypads) or CHECK 90 (on fixed-word keypads)
message alternates with the present system message on the keypad. When the jam condition
is cleared, a Restore message is sent to the CS. Entering a code and OFF restores the
keypad display.
The default for this option is 0 (disabled).
Normal use of a 5827 wireless keypad may cause a false RF jam message to be displayed in
systems that have been programmed for RF Jam Detection.

5800 Series Transmitters
Programming Wireless Zones
5800 Series transmitters have built-in serial numbers that must be enrolled” into the system
using the ✱56 or ✱58 programming modes in the ZONE PROGRAMMING section, or input to
the control via the downloader. 5800 Series transmitters (except 5827, described separately)
do not have DIP switches.
Program each transmitter's zone number into the system using ✱56 or ✱58 mode (refer to the
Zone Programming section). 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.

The 5816 and 5817 transmitters do not have EOL supervision of their loop wiring. Therefore, for
UL Household Burglary installations, the loop wiring may not exceed 3 feet.

5-3

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide
For button transmitters (RF keys), such as the 5801, 5804, and 5804BD, 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
on the keypad.
Programming an RF House ID
Programming an RF House ID (01–31) in field ✱24 is necessary only if you are using 5827 or
5827BD Wireless Keypads or 5804BD Transmitters. An RF House ID is not necessary for
other 5800 Series Transmitters, and the entry should be left at 00 (default) in those cases.
The 5827 reports low-battery status as zone 00.
Transmitter Supervision
Except for some transmitters that may be carried off-premises (5802, 5802CP, 5803, 5804,
5804BD, 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 12-hour period, the “missing” transmitter number(s) and the
message CHECK is displayed.

In accordance with ULC standards, the RF supervision period for the VISTA-10SE is three hours
for fire zones (Zone Type 9) and 12 hours for all other zone types.
The supervision for a particular transmitter in the system that may also be carried off the
premises (5801, 5802MN) may be turned off by enrolling it as a “UR” (unsupervised RF) type,
as described later.
5800 Series transmitters have built-in tamper protection and annunciate as a Check
condition if covers are removed.
Transmitter Input Types
All of the transmitters described have one or more unique, factory-assigned input (loop) ID
codes. Each of the inputs requires its own programming zone (for example: a 5804's four
inputs require four programming zones). Refer to the ZONE PROGRAMMING section.
Transmitters can be enrolled as one of the following types:
Type

Description

RF
(Supervised RF)

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

Sends only fault signals. It will not send a low-battery signal until it is
activated. The transmitter may be carried off-premises.

Transmitter Battery Life
Do not install batteries in wireless transmitters until you are ready to enroll the transmitters
during system programming. After enrolling, batteries need not be removed.
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,
extreme temperatures, as well as large temperature variations may all reduce the actual
battery life in a given installation.
5-4

Section 5 - Wireless Expansion
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 point
within the system.
Some transmitters (e.g., 5802, 5802CP, and 5804) contain long-life but nonreplaceable
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, 5802MN/MN2, 5802CP, and 5804) should be
periodically tested for battery life.
The 5802MN and 5804 Button Transmitters have replaceable batteries.
Using the Transmitter Sniffer Mode
The Transmitter Sniffer mode is a procedure that verifies that all transmitters have been
properly programmed. To verify programming, refer to the TESTING THE SYSTEM section.

Relay Device Basics
Relays are programmable switches that can be used to perform many different functions.
They can be used to turn lights on and off, control sounders, or for status indications. In this
system, each relay must be programmed as to how to act (ACTION), when to activate
(START), and when to deactivate (STOP). Each of these is described below.
The control supports a total of 4 output relays.

The 4204 Relay modules provide Form C (normally open and normally closed) contacts.

In ✱80 and ✱81 interactive modes, a series of keypad prompts will request entries for
programming of the Relay outputs used in the system. Refer also to “OUTPUT RELAY
DEVICE WORKSHEET FOR ✱80 AND ✱81 INTERACTIVE MODES” in the blank
programming form provided in the separate Programming Form manual.

4204 Relay Modules
4204 Relay Unit (if installed in cabinet)
1. Insert self-tapping screws (provided) in two adjacent raised cabinet tabs. Leave the heads
projecting 1/8".
2. Hang the unit on the screw heads via two of the slotted holes at the rear of its housing, as
shown in Figure 9 below.
3. The 4204's cover can be left off if the unit's DIP switch is set with its position 1 "ON" (to
the right) as shown in its instructions. The tamper-protected cover is necessary for

Installing the (Voice Interactive Phone) Module
General Information
The 4285/4286 VIP Module is an add-on accessory for the VISTA–10SE that permits access to
the security system via a TouchTone phone (either on premises or by a call-in when away).
The VIP Module can announce many of the same words that would normally be displayed on
an alpha keypad under the same system conditions.
When using the VIP Module, addressable keypads must be used in the system, but set to the
non-addressable mode (address 31); i.e., do not use a 6127 keypad.
When properly connected, the VIP Module will enable the user to do the following via a
TouchTone telephone:
• Receive synthesized voice messages over the phone regarding the status of the security
system.
• Arm and disarm the security system and perform most other commands using the
telephone keypad, with voice annunciation provided over the phone as confirmation after
a command is entered.
The phone used for phone access must have TouchTone capability, though TouchTone service
is not necessary (if premises uses PULSE dialing, switchable phones must be set for
TouchTone temporarily before attempting phone access).
A Phone Access User's Guide for phone access to the security system is provided with the
VIP Module for the user of the system.

The VIP Module is not Listed for UL installation use.

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.
When mounting the VIP Module outside the cabinet, use the screw holes at its rear. That will
permit it to be mounted horizontally or vertically (double-sided tape may be used, if
preferred). Wires can be brought out from the side or back (a round breakout is also available
on the back).
Affix the VIP Module’s connections label (supplied separately) to the inside of the VIP
Module's cover if the cover is used. If you have installed the module within the cabinet, affix
the label to the inside of the control cabinet's door.

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide
VIP Module Wiring
The VIP Module is wired between the control panel and the premises handset(s). 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.
NOTE: The phone lines must be in service for the VIP Module to function, even when
accessing the system from an on-premises phone.
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 (see Figure 10).

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide

Programming the Control for Phone Access
To program the control for phone access using the 4285/4286 VIP Module, you must assign a
VIP Module access code (✱26) and ring detection count (✱95). Also, you may optionally select
words and/or form custom words that would be displayed on the keypad. Refer to THE DATA
FIELD DESCRIPTION and ALPHA DESCRIPTOR PROGRAMMING sections for specific
programming details.
Perform a preliminary check of the VIP Module, as indicated next.

Checking the Operation of the VIP Module
To Check VIP Module Operation From an On-Premises Phone
1. Pick up the phone and enter the programmed 2-digit VIP Module access code.
Annunciation of a system status report should automatically start. See the User Guide
accompanying the VIP Module for detailed information regarding the nature of the status
report, if necessary.
2. During any pause in the status report, or immediately following it, key the following via
the keypad on the phone:
4111 (Installer code) + 1 (OFF).
You should hear a beep on the phone and from a wired keypad. You should also hear the
words, "Disarmed...Ready to Arm" or "Disarmed...Not Ready to Arm," indicating that
the command was entered successfully. (The voice message, "Disarmed...Not Ready to
Arm" indicates an open zone).
3. Hang up the phone.
To Check VIP Module Operation from an Off-Premises Phone:
1. Have someone dial the premises phone number, using a TouchTone phone.
•

If the phone system does not include an answering machine, the caller hears 2 long
tones, followed by a voice prompt "HELLO, ENTER PHONE CODE NOW." The caller
must enter the programmed 2-digit phone code (entered in field ✱28, PHONE)
MODULE ACCESS CODE).

•

If the premises phone system includes an answering machine, the 2-digit phone
code must be entered during a pause at the beginning of, or during, the outgoing
answering machine message. Then the caller hears a voice prompt asking for entry of
the 4-digit system code ("ENTER SYSTEM CODE NOW").

2. The caller should then enter the Installer Code (4111). As a safety feature, there is a 3try limit in which to enter each code (phone code and system code), after which time the
call-in is aborted. Also, if no keys are pressed for a period of 20 seconds, the call-in is
aborted.
Annunciation of a system status report will start if both codes were entered correctly.
3. During any pause in the status report, or immediately following it, the caller should key
the following via the keypad on the phone:
Installer Code (4111), then 1 (OFF).
The caller should hear a beep from the phone and a wired keypad on the premises. The
caller should also hear the words "Disarmed...Ready to Arm" or "Disarmed...Not
Ready to Arm" on the phone, indicating that the command was entered successfully.
"Disarmed...Not Ready to Arm" would indicate an open zone.
4. At this point, the caller can hang up the phone.
5. Verify with the caller that there was successful access to the system and that the
appropriate voice announcements were heard over the phone.
6. If the VIP Module functioned satisfactorily, unplug the AC transformer from the AC
outlet.

3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses . . .
8–1

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide

Sounder Connections and Power
The VISTA-10SE provides a 12VDC output, which can power external alarm sounders, bells,
or sirens (see table of compatible sounders on a previous page). This output activates a
sounder when an alarm occurs.
Make connections to alarm output terminals 3 (+) and 4 (–). See Figure 12 below.

The total current drawn from the alarm output and the auxiliary power output, combined, cannot
exceed 600mA. In addition, the sounding device must be a UL Listed audible signal appliance
rated to operate in a 10.2-13.8VDC range. Example: Wheelock Signals Inc. siren model 34T-12
(provides 85dBA for NFPA 74 and Standard 985).

Non-UL Installations
The total current drawn from this output cannot exceed 2 amps. A battery must be installed
because the battery supplies this current.
Going beyond the limits indicated (2 amps) will overload the power supply, and cause the
electronic circuit protecting the sounder output to trip.

Sounder Supervision
The VISTA-10SE contains a sounder (Bell) supervision option. To activate the Bell
supervision option:
1. Cut the red Bell Supervision Jumper located above terminals 2 and 3 on the control board.
See Figure 13 below.
2. Connect a 1k ohm resistor across the terminals of the last sounding device, not across the
control's terminals.

2. Enter the Installer code (4111) and press the TEST (5) key on the keypad.
The external sounder should sound for 1 second if the sounder is working and proper
connections have been made. Note that if the backup battery is discharged, the sounder
does not turn on.
3. To turn off the Test mode, enter the Installer code (4111) and press the OFF key.
4. Disconnect the battery wires from the battery terminals.
5. Unplug the AC transformer from the AC outlet.

About Long-Range Radio
If output to Long-Range Radio (LRR) is selected, all messages that are programmed to go to
the primary telephone line receiver are also sent to any LRR that can operate in ECP mode.
These messages (by telephone or radio) are sent in Contact ID format (not affected by entry
in field ✱46).

For UL installations, Long-Range Radio must be disabled (✱27 = 0).
The data line is supervised, as well as certain functions in the radio. If communication is lost
or a trouble develops, an attempt is made to send a message via both radio and telephone to
the Central Station.
For complete information, see the manual that accompanies the radio.

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide

Dynamic Signaling Feature
This VISTA-10SE control panel features Dynamic Signaling Delay (DSD) and Dynamic
Signaling Priority (DSP) message reporting when Long-Range Radio is used. These
message outputs are accessed through data field ✱93. The Dynamic Signaling feature is
designed to reduce the number of redundant reports sent to the central station.
The features are described as follows:
•

Dynamic Signaling Delay (DSD)
You can select the time the panel should wait for acknowledgment from the first
reporting destination before it attempts to send a message to the second destination.
Delays can be selected from 0 to 225 seconds, in 15-second increments. This choice is
made by the first entry in field ✱93. This delay is applicable to each individual message.

•

Dynamic Signaling Priority (DSP)
You can select the initial reporting destination for messages, Primary Dialer or LongRange Radio. This choice is made by the second entry in field ✱93.

The chart below provides a concise explanation of how the Dynamic signaling feature
functions.

About Audio Alarm Verification
An Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) module, such as the Eagle 1250, 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.

To enable the AAV feature, enter option “4” in field ✱91 Option Selection (AAV), select Contact ID
report format for the primary phone number, and program alarm reports for the primary phone
number.

The AAV option cannot be used in UL installations.

After all messages have been sent during a reporting session to the primary phone number,
the control triggers the AAV if at least one of the messages was an Alarm report. The control
sends a listen-in-to-follow message (Contact ID event code 606), which signals the 685 (the
central station receiver) to hold the phone connection for 1 minute.
Once the digital message is “kissed off,” the control gives up the phone line to the AAV
module, without breaking connection with the central station. At this time, all sirens and all
continuous keypad sounds are shut off.

You must connect a 4204 Relay Module when using an AAV unit. Do not use relay output number
1 for any other function.

Wiring Connections
The AAV is triggered by a 4204 Relay Module, as shown in the AAV connection diagrams
that follow in Figures 15 and 16 (one diagram for connections when a 4285/4286 VIP Module
is not used, the other when the 4285/4286 VIP Module is used).

Earth Ground Connections
The designated earth ground terminal (21) must be terminated in a good earth ground for
the lightning transient protective devices in this product to be effective.
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 three-wire circuit tester with neon lamp indicators, such as the UL-Listed
Ideal Model 61–035, or equivalent, available at most electrical supply stores.

Wiring the AC Transformer

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide

AC Power-Up
To turn on AC power, perform the following steps:
1. Plug the 1321/1321CN into a 24-hour, unswitched 120VAC outlet.
Following power-up, one of the following is displayed on the keypad: AC, dI (disabled);
BUSY STANDBY (on alpha keypads); or NOT READY (on fixed-word keypads). The
green POWER LED (or READY LED on some keypads) should light.
2. After approximately 1 minute, the initial displays revert to DISARMED...READY TO
ARM for alpha keypads, or READY for fixed-word keypads (if there are no faulted
zones). This 1-minute delay allows PIRs, etc. to stabilize.
To bypass this delay, press: # + 0.
NOTE: If you do not get the “READY” displays described above, refer to “Trouble
Conditions” in the SYSTEM OPERATION section.

Calculating the Battery Size Needed
Determine the total device current draw after filling in the AUXILIARY DEVICE CURRENT
DRAW WORKSHEET that follows. To this figure add the 100mA that is drawn by the control
panel itself. Then, to determine the battery size needed, use the following formula:
Total Current Drawn* x Number of hours standby wanted = Battery Ampere/Hours.
* Convert mA figure to decimal Amps (see example that follows).
Example: If total auxiliary device current drain is 450mA, add 100mA for the control panel,
for a total of 550mA (0.55 amps); if 24-hour standby is wanted, the calculation is:
0.55A x 24 hours = 13.2 Ampere/Hour battery needed
In this example, two 7 Amp/Hr batteries (connected in parallel) must be used.

Section 11 – Final Power-Up

Connecting the Backup Battery
In the event of an AC power loss, the control panel is supported by a backup, rechargeable
Sealed Lead Acid battery. The range of battery sizes recommended are: 12VDC; 4AH17.2AH. See "Calculating the Battery Size Needed" earlier in this section. The battery is
installed in the control cabinet.
Making the Battery Connections
1. Use the battery standby formula (above) to select the appropriate battery for the
installation.
Do not connect the battery until all devices have been wired to the control.
2. Attach the red and black battery wires from the control board to the battery as follows:
• Red to the positive (+) terminal on the battery.
• Black to the negative (–) terminal on the battery.

Use a 4AH battery or larger for UL installations. Calculate the actual battery size needed by
referring to the proper paragraph in this section.

Battery Tests
The standby battery is automatically tested every 4 hours, beginning 4 hours after exiting
Programming mode or after a system reset. In addition, entry into the Test mode causes a
battery test to be initiated.
If the battery cannot sustain a load, a LOW BATTERY message is displayed and, if so
programmed, is reported to the central station. In addition, the connection to the battery is
checked every 3 minutes (a CSFM requirement). If there is no battery detected, or a lowbattery condition is detected, a LOW BATTERY message is displayed and a report is sent to
the central station.

About Programming
This section provides information on how programming is performed in this system. It will
enable you to understand how to enter and exit the Programming mode, and how to program
the data fields and the user-friendly Interactive Menu modes (✱56, ✱58, ✱80, ✱81, ✱82). We
therefore urge you to read and understand the following before proceeding with any
programming.
If RF zones or relays are used, the following applicable program fields must be enabled before
doing any zone programming:
✱22

RF SYSTEM

✱25

OUTPUT RELAY MODULE

It is possible to program the system at any time, even at the installer's premises prior to the
actual installation. Simply apply power temporarily to the control and then program the unit
as desired.
You cannot enter the Programming mode unless the security system is disarmed.
There are two programming modes: Data Field programming and Interactive (Menu) mode
programming. Data Field programming is used for setting various system options.
Interactive programming is used for programming zone information, programming relay
outputs, inserting alpha descriptors (or custom words), and enrolling transmitter serial
numbers.
To program the system, you must use a 6139 2-line alpha keypad connected to the keypad
terminals on the control (4, 5, 6, and 7). Remember, the security system must be disarmed.
The alpha keypad need not remain in the system after programming.
Programming can also be performed remotely from the installer’s office/home, using an IBM
personal computer, a modem, and COMPASS downloading software. See the REMOTE
PROGRAMMING AND CONTROL (DOWNLOADING) section.

Entering the Program Mode
You may use one of the following methods:
a) Press the [✱] and [#] keys at the same time within 50 seconds after power is applied to the
control; or
b) After power-up, enter 4 1 1 1 (Installer code) + 8 0.
This method is disabled if you exit the Program mode using ✱98 instead of ✱99. See the
paragraph titled, "Exiting the Program Mode," later in this section.
12–1

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide
If a different Installer code is subsequently programmed, use it instead of 4111 to gain
access to the Programming mode.
When you enter the Program mode, data field ✱20 is displayed (this is the first data field in
the system). The system now accepts entries for field ✱20.

Programming a Data Field
1. Press [✱]+ Field No. (for example, ✱21), then make the desired entry.
2. When you have completely programmed a data field, the keypad beeps three times and
then automatically displays the next data field in sequence. To go to a different field,
press [✱] plus the desired field number.
3. If the number of digits that you need to enter in a data field is less than the maximum
digits available (for example, the phone number field), enter the desired data, then press
[✱] and the next data field number to be programmed.
4. If you try to enter a nonexistent field, the keypad will display NOT USED EE (Entry
Error). Simply re-enter [✱] plus a valid field number.

Reviewing a Data Field/Erasing an Entry
Press [#] + Field No. Data is displayed for that field number. No changes are accepted in
this mode.
To delete an entry in a field, press [✱] + Field No. + [✱] (applies only to fields ✱40-✱43, and
✱94).

About Zone Programming
✱56

Zone Programming and ✱58 Expert Programming are Interactive Menu modes that are
used to program zone numbers, alarm codes, and report codes, and to identify the type of
input device. These modes can also be used for "enrolling" 5800 Series RF Wireless
Transmitter serial and loop numbers. ✱56 Zone Programming can be used for entering alpha
descriptors for zones (we recommend entering descriptors in menu mode ✱82). Refer to the
zone assignment table for ✱56 and ✱58 on the separate Programming Form.

Programming Options Defined
The following definitions will help you understand the programming of output devices when
using ✱80 (this section) and ✱81 (the Zone List section that follows). The options used to start
and stop these devices are described below, followed by the actual screen prompts and
available entries. We recommend that you first fill out the Output Relays Worksheet for
Fields ✱80 and ✱81 in the separate Programming Form prior to programming.

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

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 relay is how the relay will respond when it is
activated by the "START" programming. You may want the relay to
activate momentarily, to pulse on and off continuously, or to remain
activated until some other event occurs to stop it. There are four different
choices of actions:

START (STT)

•

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.

•

NOT USED when the relay is not used.

The "START" programming determines when and under what conditions
the relay 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 relay. These
conditions apply only when a zone list is used. The different choices for
"EVENT" are listed below and in the “Programming Output Devices”
paragraph that follows.
•

ALARM Relay action begins upon any alarm in an assigned zone in
the zone list.

•

FAULT Relay action begins upon any opening or short in an assigned
zone in the zone list.

16–1

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide
•

TROUBLE Relay action begins upon any trouble condition in an assigned
zone in the zone list.

•

NOT USED

Relay action is not dependent upon one of the above events.

2. ZONE LIST (ZL) is a group of zones to which the “EVENT” applies in order
to activate a particular relay. Note that there are a total of 3 zone lists that
can be programmed in field ✱81 mode; when the selected EVENT (Alarm,
Fault or Trouble) occurs in any zone in the selected “Start” ZONE LIST (1,
2, or 3), activation of the selected relay will START.
3. ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION (ZT). If a System Operation, such
as “DISARMING” or “ANY FIRE ALARM,” is to activate the relay, the
appropriate choice would also be entered under the “ZONE TYPE” option.
“ZONE TYPE” is used 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 relay 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 relay.
If a "SYSTEM OPERATION" is chosen (e.g., End of Exit Time), that
operation will cause the relay to activate as selected in "ACTION.” The
different choices for "ZONE TYPE" and "SYSTEM OPERATION" are listed in
“Programming Output Devices” later in this section, and in the Programming
Form.
STOP (STP): The "STOP" programming determines when and under what conditions the
relay 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 relay 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 relay; therefore, a "RESTORE ZONE LIST"
would normally only be used when a "ZONE LIST" is used to start the relay.
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 relay.
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
relay to de-activate.
If a "SYSTEM OPERATION" is chosen, that operation will cause the relay to
de-activate.
The different choices for "ZONE TYPE" and "SYSTEM
OPERATION" are listed in “Programming Output Devices” later in this
section, and in the Programming Form.
If relay outputs are used, two keypad entries available to the user are included
among the system operation choices (34 and 35) that may be programmed.
They can manually activate or de-activate the relay(s) for starting or stopping
some action, such as turning lights on or off, etc.
These entries are: Security Code + [#] + [7]
and Security Code + [#] + [8]
NOTE: Whichever entry is used to start/stop the action cannot also be used to
stop/start it. The opposite action must either be performed by the other keypad
entry or by some other event or operation defined in the programming section.

16–2

Section 16 - Output Device Programming
If a relay is energized before a 4-wire smoke detector is reset, the relay will be
stopped by the interruption of Aux. Power that resets the smoke detector. If this
is not desired, the power to the relay unit should be supplied from another 12V
power source (e.g., the same source that is powering external equipment
through the relay contacts).

Programming Output Devices
1. With at least one 2-line alpha keypad (6139) connected to the keypad
terminals on the control, power-up the system temporarily. If you previously
connected the AC transformer to the control panel, you need only plug in the
transformer (to 120VAC outlet) to power-up the system.
2. Enter the programming mode by keying the following on the alpha keypad:
INSTALLER code (4 1 1 1) + [8] + [0].

About Alpha Descriptor Programming
This Interactive mode section provides instructions for programming alpha descriptors and
for adding custom words. This is recommended for systems using alpha keypads, and
necessary if a 4285/4286 VIP Module is used. Alpha descriptors cannot be displayed on fixedword keypads.
If you are using a 4285/4286 VIP Module, select from those words in the Alpha Vocabulary
list (on a following page) shown in boldface type. The VIP Module will not provide
annunciation of the other words.
If a VIP Module is added to an existing VISTA–10SE system, you must re-program the alpha
descriptors presently in the system, selecting from those words shown in boldface type in the
Alpha Vocabulary list. The VIP Module will not provide annunciation of any other words.
The ALPHA VOCABULARY LIST and CHARACTER CHART are on a following page.

Zone Descriptors
The alpha keypad used with the VISTA–10SE can have a user-friendly
English-language descriptor/location of all protection zones, keypad panics, and RF
receiver supervision faults programmed into the system. Each descriptor can be composed
of a combination of words (up to a maximum of 3) selected from a vocabulary of words
stored in memory (see the list on a following page). In addition, up to 5 installer-defined
words can be added to those already in memory. Thus, when an alarm or trouble occurs in
a zone, an appropriate descriptor for that zone's location will be displayed at the keypad.
NOTE: Alpha descriptor entry can be done locally at the alpha keypad or remotely using
downloading software. The alpha keypad procedure is described below.

Programming Zone Descriptors
You can enter the descriptor when the zone is being defined in field ✱56, but we recommend
you do it using this ✱82 Menu mode.
To program zone descriptors, enter the 3-digit reference number for the desired word(s). The
3-digit number for each word is provided in the Alpha Vocabulary List on a following page.
1. With the system powered up, enter the Programming mode by keying:

Adding Custom Words (will not be annunciated by the 4285/4286 VIP Module)
You can add up to five installer-defined words to the built-in vocabulary.
Each of the five "words" can actually consist of a "word string" of one or more
words, but no more than a total of ten characters (including spaces) can be
used for each word or word string.
Custom words must begin with an alphabetic character. If a number or symbol is
used as the first character, the word will not be saved.
1. Perform steps 1, 2, and 3 of Programming Zone Descriptors on a
previous page.
Select CUSTOM WORD mode and enter “1” (Yes) when the prompt
CUSTOM WORD ? is displayed.
Custom words are found as numbers 250-254 on the Alpha
Vocabulary List.
2. Enter the number (1–5) of the custom word or word string to be
created (for example, if you are creating the first custom word or
word-string, enter 1; for the second custom word, enter 2, etc.). A
blinking cursor will now appear at the beginning of the second line.
3. To enter the custom word' characters, refer to the CHARACTER
(ASCI) CHART of letters, numbers, and symbols on a following page:
Press the [#] key, followed by the two-digit entry for the first letter
you would like to display (for example, press #65 for "A," press #84 for
"T," etc.).
4. When you have displayed the desired character, press [6] to select it.
The cursor will then move one position to the right, ready for the next
character.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to create the desired word(s). Note that the [4]
key can be used to move the cursor to the left. Use the [6] key to
make a space between characters. Remember, no word or wordstring can exceed 10 characters including spaces.

6. Press the [8] key to save the custom word(s) and return to the "CUSTOM
WORD ?" display. The custom word(s) you entered will automatically be
added to the built-in vocabulary.
Repeat steps 2–5 for other custom words to be entered. To change a
custom word, just overwrite it. If no more custom words are to be entered
now, press [0] to return to the Program Alpha? prompt. Then press 0

About Remote Programming
The VISTA–10SE can be remotely programmed from an IBM compatible
Personal Computer (PC) a modem, and ADEMCO’s Compass Windows downloading
software.
Programming the control from a remote location is protected against compromise by someone
attempting to defeat the system, using multi-levels of security protection:
1. Security Code Handshake: An 8-digit download ID code must be matched
between the control and the downloader.
2. Site-Initiated Remote Programming: Telco Hand-off feature allows the
technician at the site to call the downloading facility from the control panel phone
line, initiate a site download (Installer or Master Code + # + 1), and the control
will immediately be on-line with the modem at the downloading facility. Also, if a
local computer has a modem, the telephone line terminals of the control can be
connected to the modem, and a direct download connection can be established
with the new downloader program.
3. Station-Initiated Remote Programming: The operator calls the site from
your office to initiate the download call. The control hangs up and then calls back
the PC via the pre-programmed telephone number. The unit can then be
uploaded, downloaded, or controlled from your office.
The control can also be set for no callback by the downloader.
4. Data Encryption: Data passed between the PC and the control is encrypted for
security so that it is very difficult for a foreign device tapped into the phone line
to take over communication and substitute system-compromising information.

Downloading is not permissible for UL installations unless an installer is present at
the installation site.

19–1

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide

Equipment Required
At the premises:

Panel Communication with Central Station
This section provides an explanation of formats this system accommodates 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.

Report Code Formats
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 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 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 will display
“Communication Failure” (on an alpha keypad) or “FC” (on a fixed-word keypad).
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.

Security Codes
Installer Code
The installer programs the 4-digit Installer Code initially as part of the programming
procedure. The factory default Installer Code is "4-1-1-1", but may be changed in field ✱20.
NOTE: The Installer Code is defined as User 1.
The Installer Code is the only code that can allow re-entry into Programming mode. In
normal operation mode, only the Master code can be used to enter the User codes (refer to
Assigning the Master Code).
See the MECHANICS OF PROGRAMMING section for details on exiting the Programming
mode via ✱98 or ✱99.
Assigning the Master Code
In normal operation mode, assign the 4-digit Master Code as follows:
Installer Code + 8 + 2 + 4-digit Master Code
NOTE: The Master Code is defined as User 2.
Changing the Master Code
In normal operation mode, the Master Code can be changed by entering:
Master Code + 8 + 2 + New Master Code + New Master Code again
User Codes
In normal operation mode, the Master Security Code can be used to assign up to 4 secondary
4-digit security codes. It can also be used to remove secondary codes from the system
(individually).
To assign (or change) a Secondary security code, enter (via keypad):
Master Code + [CODE] key + User No. (3–6) + desired 4-digit Secondary Code
The system will emit a single beep when each secondary code has been successfully entered.
To delete a Secondary security code, enter (via keypad):
Master Code + [CODE] key + User No. (3–6)
NOTES:
•

All Master and Secondary security codes permit access to the system for arming,
disarming, etc.

•

If a Secondary code is inadvertently repeated for different users, the lower user number
will take priority.

•

Opening and closing reports are sent for the Master Code as No. 02, with the appropriate
subscriber number. Secondary user codes are sent as Nos. 3 through 6 respectively, with
the appropriate subscriber number.

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide
Duress Code
This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under
threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the central station of
your situation, if that service has been provided.
Important: This code is useful only when the system is connected to a central station.
The Duress code may be any 4-digit code assigned to User Number 8.
To program a Duress code
1. Enter Master Code.
2. Press the CODE [8] key.
3. Press the [8] key again (8 = Duress Code User No.).
4. Enter the desired 4-digit Duress Code. The keypad will beep once.
NOTE: The Duress Code must differ from the Master Code or any other User’s Code.
To change the Duress Code:
Repeat above steps 1, 2, and 3, and then step 4 with the new Duress Code.
To delete the Duress Code
Perform steps 1, 2, and 3, and then stop. When the keypad beeps once, it signifies that the
code has been deleted.

Keypad Functions
Note that if you enabled QUICK ARM (field ✱21), you can press the [#] key instead of
entering the security code, for any of the arming procedures (AWAY, STAY, INSTANT, or
MAXIMUM). The security code is always required, however, when disarming the system.
NOTE: The “Quick Arm” feature will function only if the Master Code has been programmed
(see Assigning the Master Code on a previous page).
The keypad displays zone descriptors and allows the user to perform such system functions
as arming and disarming the system, and bypassing zones. Zone and system conditions
(alarm, trouble, bypass) are displayed in the display window.
When an alarm occurs, keypad sounding and external sounding occur, and the zone(s) in
alarm are 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, any zones that were in an alarm condition during the armed period will
be displayed (memory of alarm). To clear this display, simply repeat the disarm sequence
(enter the security code and press the [OFF] key) again.
The keypads also feature chime annunciation, and 3 panic key pairs, or individual panic keys
(depending on keypad type – see Panic Keys on next page), for silent, audible, fire, or
personal emergency alarms. These keys 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.
Disarmed, Not Ready........ 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 + AWAY [2].
Arming STAY ...................... Enter code + STAY [3].
21-2

Section 21 – System Operation
Arming INSTANT .............. Enter code + INSTANT [7].
Arming MAXIMUM............ Enter code + MAXIMUM [4].
Quick Arming ..................... Simply press [#] key in place of code, then press
AWAY, STAY, INSTANT, or MAXIMUM to arm system as
(if enabled)
desired. Note that the [#] key cannot be used in place of code
when disarming the system.
Disarming............................ Enter code + OFF [1].
Bypassing Zones ................ Enter code + BYPASS [6] + zone number(s).
Forced (Quick) Bypass ..... To automatically bypass all faulted zones, use
(if enabled)
the "Quick Bypass" method:
Enter code + BYPASS, then wait for all open zones to be
displayed. Arm when display indicates “Bypass” and “Ready to
Arm”.
Chime Mode ........................ Enter code + CHIME [9].
To turn chime off, enter code + CHIME again.

Panic Keys
There are three individual panic keys or, on some keypads, panic key pairs. If programmed,
they can be used to manually initiate alarms and send a report to the central station.
Each key (or key pair) can be individually programmed for 24-hour Silent, Audible, Personal,
or Fire Emergency responses. The panic function is activated when both keys of the
appropriate key pair are pressed at the same time, or the appropriate lettered key is pressed
for at least 2 seconds.

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide
4285/4286 VIP Module (if used)
Refer to the separate instructions supplied with the VIP Module for information concerning
its operating procedures.
Relay Outputs (if used)
If relay outputs are used, two keypad entries available to the user are included among the
system operation choices (34 and 35) that may be programmed (see the OUTPUT DEVICE
PROGRAMMING section). They can manually activate or de-activate the relay(s) for starting
or stopping some action, such as turning lights on or off, etc.
These keypad entries are: Security Code + [#] + [7]
and
NOTE:

Security Code + [#] + [8]

The keypad entry that is used to Start/Stop the action, cannot also be used to
Stop/Start it. The opposite action must either be performed by the other keypad
entry or by some other event or operation offered in the OUTPUT DEVICE
PROGRAMMING section.

Exit Error Alarm Displays (if programmed)
•

A display of "CANCELED ALARM" or "CA" and a zone indication 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.

•

A display of "EXIT ALARM" or "EA" and a zone indication will appear if an exit or
interior zone contained a fault during closing at the time the exit delay ended, but the
system was NOT disarmed during the entry delay time. 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.

•

The "EXIT ALARM" display, etc. will also result if an alarm from an exit or interior
zone occurs within two minutes after the end of an exit delay.

In any of the previous cases, use a second OFF sequence (CODE plus [OFF] key) to clear the
display.

Trouble Conditions
The word CHECK on the keypad's display, accompanied by a rapid "beeping" at the keypad,
indicates that there is a trouble condition in the system. The audible warning sound can be
silenced by pressing any key. Instruct users to call for service immediately upon seeing any
of the following messages:
CHECK and BATTERY Displays

21-4

•

A display of CHECK and one or more zone numbers indicates that a problem exists with
the displayed zone(s) and requires attention.

•

A display of CHECK and 09 indicates that communication between control and a zone
expander or wireless receiver is interrupted. Check the wiring and DIP switch settings
on the units. Also see CHECK 70 and CHECK 90 on a following page under Other
Displays.

•

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.

Section 21 – System Operation
•

A display of BAT (on fixed-word keypads) or SYSTEM LO BAT (on alpha keypads)
with no zone number indicates that the system's main standby battery is weak.

•

A display of "BAT" (on fixed-word keypads) or “LO BAT” (on alpha keypads) with a
zone number and a once per minute "beeping" at the keypad indicates that a lowbattery 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.

•

Bell Failure (CHECK 70) Wiring loop to external sounder is either open or shorted.

•

RCVR Jam (CHECK 90) RF jam detected.

NOTE:

Some wireless sensors contain a nonreplaceable long-life battery that requires
replacement
of
the
entire
unit
at
the
end
of
battery
life
(e.g., 5802, 5802CP).

Power Failure
•

If there is no keypad display at all, and the POWER indicator (if present) is not lit,
operating power for the system has stopped and the system is inoperative.
NOTE: The control panel will power-up in its previous state (armed or disarmed) after a
complete power failure, but will not retain any memory of bypasses.

•

If the message AC LOSS (on alpha keypads) or NO AC (on fixed-word keypads) is
displayed, and the POWER indicator (if present) is off, the keypad is operating on battery
power only.
NOTE: There is a random delay of up to 30 minutes before the system will report an AC
failure to the central station. The keypad response is about 6 seconds. The
Restore Report has a random delay of up to 30 minutes (if the AC Failure Report
was sent).

•

If the battery standby capacity is used up during a prolonged AC power outage, the
control's auxiliary power will shut down to minimize deep discharge of the battery.

Other Displays (fixed-word displays are in parentheses)
Busy-Standby (dI). If this remains displayed for more than 1 minute, the system is
disabled.
Modem Comm (CC) The system is in communication with the central station for change of
function or status verification.
Comm. Failure (FC) A communication failure has occurred.
Open Circuit (OC) The keypad is not receiving signals from the control and sees an open
circuit.
Long Rng Trbl (bF) Backup LRR communication failure.

Test Procedures
After installation is completed, the system should be carefully tested, as follows:
1. With the system in the disarmed state, check that all zones are intact. If a NOT READY
message is displayed, press the [✱] key to display the faulted zone(s). Restore faulted
zone(s) if necessary, so that the READY message is displayed.
2. Enter the security code and press the TEST key.
The external sounder will 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.

Note that the keypad will beep once every 40 seconds as a reminder that the system is in
the Test mode.
Fault and restore every sensor individually to assure that it is being monitored by the
system. Each time a protection zone is faulted, the keypad will sound 3 beeps, and the
identification of each faulted protection zone should appear on the keypad display.
NOTE: For 5800 wireless systems, triggering a zone set to Arm–AWAY, Arm–STAY, or
Disarm will take the system out of the TEST mode and cause that action.
Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for the required sound
as movement is detected. The identification of the detector should appear on the display
when it is activated.
NOTE: Wireless motion detectors (passive infrared units) will send signals out only if
they have been inactive for 3 minutes.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to test all smoke detectors, to ensure that all are
functioning properly. The identification of each detector should appear on the display
when each is activated.
Turn off the test mode by entering the security code and pressing the [OFF] key.
Alarm messages will be sent to the central station during the following tests.
Notify CS personnel in advance that tests will be in progress.

7. Arm the system (STAY) and fault one or more perimeter zones. After 15 seconds, silence
alarm sounder(s) by entering the security code and pressing [OFF].
Arm the system AWAY, and check the Entry/Exit zones for the programmed exit and
entry delays.
8. Check the keypad-initiated alarms that are in the system by using the Panic keys (or key
pairs on some keypads). If a key (or key pair) has been programmed for audible
emergency, the keypad will emit a steady alarm sound, and ALARM and zone number
will be displayed.
If a key (or key pair) has been programmed for silent emergency, there will be no audible
alarms or displays, but a report will be sent to the central station.

22-1

VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide
If a key (or key pair) has been programmed for fire, the keypad and external sounder will
emit an interrupted alarm sound, and ALARM, FIRE and zone number will be
displayed.
Silence alarms by entering the security code and pressing [OFF] key.
9. If Output Relay Units have been installed, test their programmed action.
10. Notify the central station when all tests are finished, and verify results with them.
To test the wireless part of the system and the RF Receiver, perform the two following tests:
Transmitter Sniffer Mode and Go/NoGo Test Mode.

Transmitter Sniffer Mode
Make sure the system is disarmed before trying to enter this mode.
Key Installer Code + [#] + [3]. This initiates a procedure that will check that all 5800
Series transmitters have been properly programmed.
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 keypad will display all zone numbers of wireless units programmed into the
system. As the system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone
number of that transmitter will disappear from the display. The transmitter codes
may be checked upon installation, or in an installed system.
All the wireless zone numbers should disappear after about 1-1/2 hours.
NOTE:

Any transmitter that is not properly entered into the system will not turn
off its zone number.

Exit the Transmitter Sniffer mode by keying Installer code + [OFF].

Go/No Go Test Mode
By keying Installer code + [#] + [4], a mode similar to the test mode is entered, but
the wireless receiver gain is reduced. Checking in this mode not only assists in
determining good mounting locations for the transmitters when the system is being
installed, but also verifies that the RF transmission has sufficient signal amplitude
margin for the installed system.
1.

Enter the Installer code + [#] + [4].

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. Do not conduct this test with your hand
wrapped around the transmitter, as this will cause inaccurate results.

•

The keypad will beep three times to indicate signal reception.

•

If the keypad does not beep, re-orient or move the transmitter to another
location. Usually a few inches in either direction is all that is required.

Exit the Go/NoGo mode by keying Installer code + [OFF].
TO THE INSTALLER

Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by the installer and frequent testing by the user are vital to
continuous satisfactory operation of any alarm system.
The installer should assume the responsibility of developing and offering a regular maintenance program to the user
as well as acquainting the user with the proper operation and limitations of the alarm system and its component
parts. Recommendations must be included for a specific program of frequent testing (at least weekly) to insure the
system's proper operation at all times.

Limitations and Warranties
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

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:
•

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 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.
