General Description
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
About the VISTA-32FB/VISTA-128FB
The VISTA-32FB/VISTA-128FB is a UL Listed commercial fire and burglary control panel with the following features:
x 8 built-in hardwired zones and expandable using polling loop and wireless zones
x Up to 96 output relays
x Supervision of Notification Appliance Circuits, phone lines, keypads, RF receivers, and output devices
x Scheduling capabilities (allows certain operations to be automated)
The VISTA-32FB/VISTA-128FB can interface with the following devices:
x An ECP Long Range Radio that can send Contact ID messages
x An access control system by using either the ADEMCO PassPoint system (via the VISTA Gateway Module) or a
VistaKey module (via the polling loop)
UL
The access control function is not Listed for use with the VISTA-32FB/VISTA-128FB Control Panel in a UL
installation.
The system supports either the VistaKey or the VISTA Gateway Module, not both.
NOTE: All references in this manual for number of zones, user codes, partitions, VistaKey modules, the
master partition and the event log capacity, use the VISTA-128FB’s features. The following table lists the
differences between the VISTA-32FB and the VISTA-128FB control panels. All other features are identical
for both panels.
Also, all procedures in this guide for entering zone numbers or user numbers show 3-digit entries, which is
valid for the VISTA-128FB. For the VISTA-32FB these entries are only 2-digits.

Features
Hardwire and Optional Expansion Zones
x Provides 8 hardwire zones.
x Supports up to 16 2-wire smoke detectors each on zone 1 and zone 2 (32 total).
x Triggers the built-in sounders on other hardwired smoke detectors if one smoke detector annunciates an alarm. This
feature requires a 4204 Relay Module and/or the 333PRM.
x Supports up to 50 2-wire latching glassbreak detectors on zone 8.
x Supports up to 119 additional expansion zones (24 for the VISTA-32FB) using a built-in polling (multiplex) loop.
x Supports up to 128 wireless zones (32 for the VISTA-32FB) fewer if using hardwire and/or polling loop zones.

ULThe 5881ENHC RF Receiver and the 5869 Holdup Switch Transmitter are listed for UL Commercial Burglary
applications. All other RF receivers and transmitters are not listed for UL Commercial Burglary applications.
x Provides three keypad panic keys: 1 + ✴(A), ✴+ # (B), and 3 + # (C).
Peripherals Devices
x Supports up to 31 addressable devices, (keypads, RF receivers, relay modules, etc.).
x Supervises devices (keypads, RF receivers, and relay modules) and individual relays (up to 32), as well as system
zones (RF receivers and keypad panics).
x Provides 96 outputs using 4204 and 4204CF Relay Modules, Fire System Annunciators (FSA-8, FSA-24), and V-Plex
Relay Modules can activate outputs in response to system events (alarm condition), at a specific time of day, at
random times, and manually using the #70 Relay Command Mode.
x Supports additional style-Y supervised Notification Appliance Circuits using a 4204CF.
x Supports the ADEMCO 4285/4286 VIP Module, which allows access to the system from either a remote location or
on the premises
ULThe 4285/4286 VIP Module is not Listed for use with the VISTA-32FB/VISTA-128FB Control Panel in a UL
installation.
x Supports the ADEMCO 4146 Keyswitch on any one of the system's 8 partitions.
x Supports the PS24 Power Supply Module, which supplies two 24VFW, 1.7A full-wave rectified, unfiltered outputs.
Arming/Disarming and Bypassing
x Provides global arming capability (ability to arm all partitions the user code has access to in one command).
x Supports Exit Error Logic, whereby the system can tell the difference between a regular alarm and an alarm caused
by leaving an entry/exit door open. If the system is not subsequently disarmed, faulted entry/exit zone(s) and/or
interior zones are bypassed and the system arms.
x Supports Recent Close report, which is designed to notify the central station that an alarm has occurred within 2
minutes after the exit delay has expired.
Partitioning
x Can control 8 separate areas (partitions) independently, each functioning as if it had its own separate control. All
fire zones must be assigned to partition 1.
x Provides a Common Lobby partition, which can be programmed to arm automatically when the last partition is
armed, and to disarm when the first partition is disarmed.
x Provides a Master partition (3 for the VISTA32FB; 9 for the VISTA-128FB), used for the purpose of viewing the
status of all partitions at the same time.
x Can display fire, burglary, panic, and trouble conditions at all other partitions’keypads (selectable option).
Scheduling
x Can automate system functions, such as arming, disarming, and activation of outputs (e.g., lights).
x Provides access schedules (for limiting system access to users by time).
x Provides an End User Output Programming Mode, allowing the user to control outputs.
Access Control
x Supports up to 8 VistaKey modules (8 access points) (4 modules on the VISTA-32FB), which are used for access
control. It is a single-door access control module.
x Support up to 250 access cards.
x Supports ADEMCO PassPoint system via one VISTA Gateway Module (VGM), for a fully integrated access control
system.
x Can store access control events in the event log.
System Communication
x Provides supervision of the phone lines (main and backup)
x Supports the 5140DLM optional backup dialer for the second phone line.
x Supports ADEMCO Contact ID; ADEMCO High Speed; ADEMCO Express; and 3+1, 4+1, and 4+2 ADEMCO and
Sescoa/Radionics Low-Speed formats.
