Compatibility
The below listing identifies the alarm systems that the 6270ADT can
interface with, the maximum number of 6270ADTs that can be used
with each system, and the minimum alarm panel software revision
level for compatibility.
MAXIMUM NUMBER MINIMUM SOFTWARE
ALARM SYSTEM OF 6270ADTs REVISION LEVEL
Safewatch Pro 3000EN 2 All Levels
VISTA-128BPADT 3 2.4
VISTA-250FBPADT 1 1.5
VISTA-15P 2 3 (When available)
VISTA-20P 2 3 (When available)
VISTA-20PS 2 All Levels
VISTA-128BP 3 2.4
VISTA-128FBP 3 1.6
VISTA-250BP 3 2.4
VISTA-250FBP 1 1.5
On all panels except the residential panels, you may obtain the software
revision level of the alarm panel by entering the program mode and then
entering #92 on the keypad. The second line of the keypad displays the
software revision level (without the decimal point).
ECP Error
The message “ECP Error”will be displayed at the top of the screen (except for
the Home screen) when the 6270ADT cannot communicate with the alarm
panel. This may be caused by and incorrect ECP address in the 6270ADT or
because AUI type devices have not been enabled in the panel. While this
message is being displayed, you must use the 6270ADT default code of “4140”
any time the 6270ADT requests an authorized code.

Mounting the 6270ADT
The 6270ADT should be mounted using the following criteria:
x
The 6270ADT must be mounted indoors, and
x
should be mounted at eye level for easy viewing by the user.
To mount the 6270ADT, see Figure 1 and complete the following
steps:
1. Detach the case back by pushing up into the two tabs located at
the bottom of the 6270ADT with the blade of a screwdriver while
pulling the case back and case front apart.
2. Locate the case back over the mounting surface such that the
opening in the case back is aligned with the wire/cable access
opening (in the mounting surface) while passing the wires/cable
through the opening in the case back.
3. Secure the case back to the mounting surface using four screws
(supplied).
Prior to attaching the case front to the case back, be sure to wire the
6270ADT as described in the "
Wiring the 6270ADT
" paragraph in this
section.

Programming the Control Panel
The 6270ADT will not be fully operational unless its address in the
control panel has been enabled for an alpha console, AUI type device,
and assigned to a partition (where applicable). Refer to
“Compatibility”on page 1–2 of this document for the quantity of
6270ADTs that may be used and the required control panel software
revision level.
On residential control panels (Safewatch Pro 3000EN or
equivalent), two 6270ADTs may be used (addresses 1 and 2). These
addresses (in field *189) are enabled by default. If the defaults have
been changed, enable these addresses (in field *189) using an alpha-
keypad and the Data Field Programming procedures located in the
panel Installation and Setup Guide.
On commercial control panels (VISTA-128BPADT, VISTA-
250FBPADT, or equivalent), addresses between 1 through 30 may
be used for the 6270ADT. These addresses in the control panel are
normally not defaulted for AUI type devices. To enable the addresses
you will be using for 6270ADTs, use an alpha-keypad and follow the
procedures for “Device Programming”in your control panel
“Programming Guide.”

How to Change the ECP Address
After enabling addresses in the control panel using an alpha-keypad,
power up each 6270ADT one at a time, and set its address to one of
the addresses you enabled in the control panel. If this is a first time
power-up of the unit, follow the initialization procedure in this
section. Otherwise, access the Central Station screen then follow the
procedure to change the address on the unit.
