24-HOUR BATTERY BACKUP REQUIREMENTS
The California State Fire Marshal and UL have regulations which require that all residential fire alarm control panels must be
provided with a backup battery which has sufficient capacity to operate the panel and its attached peripheral devices for 24 hours in
the intended standby condition, followed by at least 4 minutes in the intended fire alarm signaling condition. This control panel can
meet these requirements without using a supplementary power supply, provided that the panel’s auxiliary power and bell output
currents are limited as indicated below.

Battery Saver Feature
Earth Ground
The battery will disconnect from the system after its voltage decreases below 9VDC.
This assists the control panel in recharging the battery when AC is restored.
IMPORTANT: The panel will not power up initially on battery power only. You must
plug the transformer in first, and then connect the battery.
• This product has been designed and laboratory-tested to ensure its resistance to
damage from generally expected levels of lightning and electrical discharge, and does
not normally require an earth ground.
• If an earth ground is desired for additional protection in areas of severe electrical
activity, terminal 25 on the control board, or the cabinet, may be used as the ground
connection point. The following are examples of good earth grounds available at most
installations.

The length of all wire runs for both partitions combined 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.

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.

Mounting and Wiring the Control
Installing a 5800TM
Module
• Use this module only if you are using one or more wireless bi-directional keypads or
keyfobs with a wireless Receiver; 5800TM is not necessary if using a Transceiver (e.g.,
5883).
• The 5800TM must be set to address 28 (cut red-W1 jumper).
• The 5800TM can be used in partition 1 only.
• For additional information regarding the 5800TM, refer to the 5800TM’s instructions.
1. Mount the 5800TM next to the RF receiver (between one and two feet from the
receiver’s antennas) using its accompanying mounting bracket. Do not install within
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.
U
L 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.

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.
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.
∗56 Zone Programming
Program each of the four alphabet function keys to perform one of several system
operations.

Zone Type Definitions
Zone types define the way in which the system responds to faults in each zone.
Zone Type
Type 00
Description
Program a zone with this zone type if the zone is not used.
Zone 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.
• 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 03
Perimeter
Burglary
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

Programming Overview
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).
• Usually assigned to a zone containing an emergency button.
• Sends a report to the central station but provides no keypad display or sounding.
Type 06
24-hr Silent Alarm
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.”
• 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 14
24 Hour Carbon
Monoxide
Monitor
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.
• 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 20
Arm-Stay (BR
only)
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.

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.
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.
Types 90-93
Configurable
* 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.

Configurable Zone Type Options
Auto Restore (entry 2): Faults on zones set for this option
are cleared; restore messages sent upon restoral of faults.
Configurable Zone Type Fields
• The system allows you to define custom zone types
(VISTA-20P supports 4 [types 90-93]; VISTA-15P
supports 2 [types 90, 91]), based on the options
described at right.
• All configurable zone types can be programmed via
the downloader.
Vent Zone (entry 2): Zones set for this option are ignored if
faulted when arming the system, but are protected if the zone
is later restored (e.g., an open window can be ignored when
arming, but if the window is later closed, it will be protected;
opening the window again causes an alarm.)
• Configurable zone types 90 and 91 can also be
programmed from a keypad using data fields *182-*185.
UL installations: Do not configure zones as fire alarm
or UL burglar alarm zones.
Bypass Disarmed (entry 4): Zones set for this option can be
bypassed only while the system is disarmed.
Bypass Armed (entry 4): Zones set for this option can be
bypassed when the system is armed or disarmed.
Dial Delay (entry 6): Alarms on zones set for this option
participate in dial delay central station reporting, if system
dial delay enabled in field *50.

on the charts on the next page.
To calculate the value
for each entry, add the values of the selected options in
each of the entry’s columns shown in the respective
chart (one option per column). For example, to program
entry 2 for “alarm response to short,” “auto restore on,”
but not a “vent zone,” enter 5 (“1” for alarm short + “4”
for auto restore-yes + “0” for vent zone-no).
Faults Display (entry 7): Selects how faults on zones set for
this zone type are displayed.
Power Reset/Verification(entry 7): Selects whether the
system resets power (when user enters code + OFF), and
whether the system performs alarm verification (see
description for zone type 16 in Programming Overview
section) when a fault occurs on these zones.

TROUBLE ID: XXX
Use Exit Delay (entry 8): Selects whether to use the system’s
exit delay time.
Enter the desired 3-digit Contact ID® report codes for
alarms and troubles occurring on zones assigned to
this zone type. Use existing Contact ID® codes, if
appropriate, or define unique codes in CID code range
750-789. Press [∗] to accept and continue.
Interior Type (entry 8): Zones set for this option are treated
same as standard zone type 4 (bypasses when armed STAY,
faults displayed).
Alarm Sounds (entry 9): Selects the type of alarms sound for
zones set for this zone type.
Important Notice on Report Codes: To avoid
confusion at the central station, it is recommended
that existing Contact ID® codes be used with
configurable zone types whenever possible. See list in
System Communication section and/or check with
the central station for a complete list of Contact ID®
report codes. If none of the codes are suitable, choose a
code in the reserved range of 750-789 and make sure to
define the code with your central station.
Bell Timeout (entry 9): Alarm sounding on zones set for this
option remain for the duration set in fields *32 / *33.
Fire Zone (entry 9): Zones set for this option respond in the
same manner as if programmed for zone type 9. Do not set
fire zones to respond as a “fault” in entries 1-6.
Trouble Sounds (entry 10): Selects the type of trouble
sounds for zones set for this zone type (periodic beeps = once
every 30 seconds; trouble beeps = rapid beeping).
Chime Enable (entry 10): Zones set for this option cause a
chime when Chime mode is on.

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.
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.
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
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.

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.
About Zone Programming (∗56 and ∗58 Menu Modes)
• Used to program zones, zone types, report codes, enroll 5800 RF Wireless Transmitter serial numbers,
and identify the type of loop input device(s).
• Can also be used to enter alpha descriptors for programmed zones; however, we recommend entering
✱
descriptors in menu mode 82 (Alpha Descriptor Programming after all zone programming has been
completed).
• *58 Expert Programming mode provides a faster method of zone programming than *56 Menu mode, but
is recommended only for those who have had previous experience in programming controls of this type.
NOTE: Alpha display prompts are shown in a double-line box.
✱56 Zone Programming Procedure
1. Enter the zone number to be programmed.
2. Make appropriate entries at the prompts.
3. Confirm the serial number of wireless transmitter zones.
✱
Start Zone Programming mode by pressing 56 while in Data Programming mode.
Set to Confirm
0 = no; 1 = yes
SET TO CONFIRM?
0 = NO 1 = YES
If 1 (Yes) is entered, you will be prompted to confirm each transmitter after entering the
serial and loop numbers (at the “XMIT TO CONFIRM” prompt later in this procedure). We
recommend that you confirm the programming of every transmitter.

four programming zones).
RF Transmitters can be enrolled as one of the following types:
Type
Description
RF
Sends periodic check-in signals, as well as fault, restore, and low-
battery signals. The trans. must stay within receiver's range.
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.
(Supervised RF)
UR
(Unsupervised RF)
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.
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.

Installation and Setup Guide
*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
Event
Determines whether the initiating event occurs on a zone, a zone list, or a zone type.
Event that triggers the output action. Can be an event occurring on a specific zone number or
a zone list, or a specific zone type.
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).
Assigns this function to a specific output number (defined in *79 Menu Mode). This is the
output number that will perform this function upon the triggering event. Note that each
defined function is associated with only one output number. This means that if more than one
output device needs to perform this particular function, you need to define another output
function number with the same attributes, but assign the appropriate output number. (i.e.
output devices can be assigned more than one function number, but each function number can
only be assigned a single output number.
Output No.
For example, if you want to pulse a strobe light upon fire alarms on zone 4 using a relay mapped to
output number 2 (as programmed in *79 Menu Mode), program the following in *80 Menu Mode:

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...

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)

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).

Testing the System
About Test Procedures
After the installation is complete, you should perform the following tests:
System Test:
Dialer Test:
Go/No Go Test:
Checks that all zones have been installed properly and the system responds to faults.
Checks that the phone connection to the central station is working properly.
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.

Installation and Setup Guide
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.

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.
