SEVEN STEPS TO EASY INSTALLATION
The following steps are required to properly install a VISTA XM system:
Become familiar with the system by reading the GENERAL INFORMATION section.
Determine the hardware required for the installation by reviewing section II: 7-Y
HARDWARE OVERVIEW.
Determine the system’s zone configuration and wiring requirements by reviewing
section Ill: ZONE TYPE DEFINITIONS, section IV: SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
(ZONES) and section V: SYSTEM CONFIGURATION (PERIPHERALS). If the
installation is UL rated, check the special UL requirements in section XIII.
Once the wiring is completed, mount the Control and make power connections
following the instructions provided in section VI: MOUNTING PROCEDURES and
section VII:’ POWERING THE SYSTEM.
Learn how the system operates, including security codes and keypad functions by
reading section VIII: SYSTEM OPERATION.
lf the system is to be supervised by a central monitoring station, read section IX:
SYSTEM COMMUNlCATlON for descriptions of reporting formats and a list of
communication programming default tables.
Program the system via the keypad or by downloading from a remote location,
following the instructions in section X: PROGRAMMING THE SYSTEM and section Xl:
DOWNLOADING (if applicable).
Test the system and teach the user how to perform all commands, following the
procedures in section XII: TESTING THE SYSTEM.
If problems occur, refer to section XIV: TROUBLESHOOTING.
ADVlSORtES Throughout this manual, information that requires special attention is highlighted in
the ADVISORIES paragraphs. This information includes system limitations, caveats
and other information vital to the proper operation of the system. Be sure to read
these paragraphs carefully.
MODEL NUMBERS Unless otherwise noted, product model numbers listed in this manual refer to
Ademco products.

SECTION I
GENERAL INFORMATION
THE VISTA CONTROLS The VISTA XM Controls are microprocessor based programmable systems
which provide up to 9 wired zones of protection, expandable to 64 zones
(wired and/or wireless) when connected to a 2-wire polling bop. The VISTA
XM Series includes the 4130XM, 5130XM. and 4140XM Controls and the
4137 8 5137 Remote Consoles, which are look-alikes to the 4130XM 8
5130XM respectively. Connections to the Control are made via a plug-in
connector, which can be removed without disturbing any of the field wiring.
The phone lines are connected to a separate block located on the
communicator board (4171 XT-XM or 4171XM; ordered separately wtth the
413OXMI 5130XM; 4171 XT-XM included with the 4140XM).
l 4140XM
The 4140XM is housed in a metal cabinet, measuring 12’ x 12” x 3’, and
requires the use of either the 4137 fixed message or 5137 alpha-numeric
(allowing use of the 4140XM’s built-in vocabulary) remote consoles. and can
also be used with the 4146 keystation. A SPDT relay, rated @ 2.8 amps, is
built-in for use with a No. 702, or No. 719 (or equivalent) exterior sounder. For
UL mercantile installations, the 414OAlX can be used. The 4140ATX is the
same as the 4140XM, but features a larger, heavier gauge cabinet and a
cabinet tamper switch.
l 4130XM
The 4130XM is a self-contained Control with an LCD using 2 numeric digits
for zone identification, and a set of pre-designated English language
prompts, for system status (ex: ‘READY’, “NOT READY). A built-in 85dB UL
listed sounder is also included. The Control can be surface or flush mounted.
The 5130XM is also a selt-contained Control, but with a O-line, 32character
(16 characters per tine), back-lit, programmable alpha-numeric LCD. Unlike
the 4130XM, the 5130XM (and 4140XM. when used with the 5137 console)
contains a bultt-in 220 word vocabulary from which to choose words for
describing each zone in friendly English language. In addition. up to 5
custom word entries to suit the individual needs of each installation can also
be programmed. Like the 4130XM, the 5130XM contains a built-in 85dB UL
listed sounder and can be surface or flush mounted.
. 5130XM

EASY PROGRAMMING
The Control can be programmed either on the job site directly from the
keypad, or remotely by using the ADEMCO 4130PC DOWNLOADING
SOFTWARE, an IBM (or compatible) computer, and a HAYES 1200
Smartmodem. (See the PROGRAMMING section for a complete explanation).
All programmed options are stored in non-volatile EEROM memory. This
means that old fashioned PROM chips are no longer needed, and the
program can be changed over and over again, as the needs of a particular
system grow. It also means that the program cannot be bst or changed In any
way if power to the Control is bst. Even if completely powered down for long
periods of time, the program will remain intact.
For installer convenience, the Control is pre-programmed with a set of
‘standam values that is designed to meet the needs of many installations.
These values, however, can be changed to suit the needs of any particular
installation. Specific programming instructions are provided in the
PROGRAMMING section of this manual.

8 GENERAL INFORMATION
.n
MEMORY-OF-ALARM
The VISTA Controls provide a memory-of-alarm feature, which, upon
disarming the system, automatically displays all zones that were in an alarm
condition while the system was armed. To cancel this display, the user simply
enters the security code and presses the OFF key. In addition, a 10 day
alarWtrouble history is maintained by the system, which helps the installer or
central station to identify problem sensors. To activate this feature, enter the
security code + the [O] key. To clear the display, enter the security code and
press the OFF key. Note that once the 10 day alanwtrouble history display
has been cleared, it is also cleared from the system’s memory.
BUILT-IN
For end-user wnvenience. the 5130XM and 4140XM (with 5137) contain a
USER’S MANUAL/
“built-in Users Manual. By depressing and holding any of the function keys
DESCRIPTOR REVIEW
on the console for 5 seconds, a brief explanation of that particular function
scrolls across the ALPHA-NUMERIC display. For example, if the user forgets
how to bypass a zone, he or she simply depresses the key marked
“BYPASS and holds it for 5 seconds. The information will then scroll across
the display, explaining how to bypass a zone.
In addition, all programmed zone descriptors can be displayed (one at a time)
by pressing and holding the READY key until the key’s instructions appear (5
seconds), then releasing the key. This serves as a check for installers to be
sure all descriptors are entered properly. This feature is also helpful to the
user when there is a need to know the zone number of a particular sensor (as
when bypassing zones).
COMMUNICATIONS
The system can be monitored by a central station, via the switched telephone
network. Upon alarms, programmed communicator reports will be transmitted
up to the programmed maximum (swinger suppression) in one armed interval.
Restoral reports will be sent when the zone is restored for a time greater than
#s physical response time (less than 1 second). In addiiion, the system also
sends system status reports(AC loss, system trouble, etc.). The system also
provides voltage triggers for other communication devices, such as
Ademco’s Long Range Radio system.
