Quick Start Guide
Vista-20P
NOTE: DO NOT hook power to the keypad until the entire system is installed and
ready for programming. Reason: You have to make a programming change to
each keypad upon 30 seconds of power being sent to the keypad.
Installer Code = 4112
Master Code=1234
Program Mode= 4112+800
Or
Upon 50 seconds of power up, you will need to press and hold * and # at
same time.
Exit Programming=*99 or 00 depending on where you are at

Step 1: Assign Keypad Address
Within 30 seconds of the main keypad receiving power: Press and hold
the 1 and 3 buttons at the same time.
Con Addr = will appear and you will need to enter 16. Then press *
On each additional keypad you will need to enter a unique address: 17,
18, etc.
oDo Not Duplicate Keypad Addresses. Keypads have to be
addressed 16 to 23 (no duplicates), but come defaulted at 31 and
will not work until they are re-addressed.
Step 2: Enter Programming
After the keypad is addressed, you will need to enter programming:
Enter 4112 800
Field 20 (Installer Code) will be displayed on the screen.
We can begin programming from this point.
Step 3: Default the Entire System (*97)
Enter *97 to default your system. The system will beep. This will ensure
that there is a clean slate to start from.
If you will be using central station monitoring: Press *96 and the system
will beep. This is for clearing the ID number for Central Station.
Step 4: Installer Code (*20)
If you would like to change the installer code, press *20 + new installer
code. Be sure not to forget this number.

Step 5: Exit Delay (*34) (Page 4-2 in the Installation and Setup Guide)
The minimum delay is 45 seconds. If the delay is between 45 and 96 seconds,
then enter the actual seconds. If the delay time is more than 96 seconds, then
enter 97 and then the system will give you a delay of 120 seconds.
Enter *34
Then enter the exit delay time for Partition 1
Then repeat the exit delay for Partition 2
oNote: Both partitions must have a delay time programmed, even if
you do not have a 2nd partition.
After both delay times have been entered the system will automatically take
you to step 6.
Step 6: Entry Delay (*35) (Page 4-2 in the Installation and Setup Guide)
As with the exit delay, you must enter an entry delay for both partition 1 and 2
even if only 1 partition will be used.
30 to 90 seconds = enter the desired seconds 30-90
97 = 120 seconds
98 = 180 seconds
99 = 240 seconds
Note: You will not need to enter *35 if you have just completed step 5.
Enter the entry delay time for Entry Delay 1 on Partition 1
Then enter the entry delay time for Entry Delay 1 on Partition 2
Then enter the entry delay time for Entry Delay 2 on Partition 1
Then enter the entry delay time for Entry Delay 2 on Partition 2.
The system will advance you to the next step when all delay times are
entered.
Step 7: Audible Exit Warning (*37) (Page 4-2 in the Installation and Setup
Guide)
Note: You will not need to enter *37 if you have just completed step 6.
If you want the system to rapidly beep 10 seconds before it arms, enter
01.
OR
Enter 00 if you do not want your system to beep.
The system will automatically advance you to the next step.

Step 8: Confirmation of Arming Ding (*38) (Page 4-2 in the Installation and
Setup Guide)
Note: You do not need to enter *38 if you have just completed step 7.
Enter:
o00=No Ding
o01=Ding after Arming
o02=Ding after arming with RF button or RF keypad
Step 9a: Hardwired Zone Programming (*56) (Page 5-1 and 5-2 of the
Installation and Setup Guide)
Use * to continue and # is to back up
Enter *56
Set to Confirm will be displayed on the screen. This means: Are you
installing wireless devices?
o0=NO and 1=Yes
Zone 1 is for Fire or any hardwired device if fire is not being used
Zones 2-8 hardwired devices
Zones 9-48 Wireless Transmitter Zones
Zones 49-64 Key Fobs
Zone 92 Duress
Zones 95, 96, and 99 are Panic Zones
Zone Types:
00= Not Used 04= Interior follower 08= 24 Hr Aux 21= Arm-Away
01=Entry/Exit #1 05=Trouble Day/Alarm Night 09=Fire no delay 22=Disarm
02=Entry/Exit #2 06=24 Hr Silent 10=Interior delay 23=No Alarm Response
03=Perimeter 07=24 Hr Audible 20=Arm Stay 24=Silent Burglary
Enter the Zone Number you wish to program and press *. A summary
screen will be displayed. Press * again to advance past the summary
screen.
Enter the Zone Type (ZT). (Refer above or go to page 5-2 in the
Installation and Setup Guide for the exact types). Press * to continue.
Enter the partition number (PT 1 or 2). (NOTE= Partition 3 is for common
areas between partitions 1 and 2). Then press *.
Report Code (RC) should be left at 01. The summary will show 10 though
this is correct. Press * to continue
Enter Hardwire Type (HW).
oIf you used a resistor enter 0
oNormally Closed=1
oNO=2
oPress * to continue
oResponse Time should be left at 1. Press * to continue.

Summary Screen will appear. Press * to continue or # to go back to make
changes.
At this time we will not enter Alpha Descriptors. We recommend using *82
for this. (Page 9-1 of the Installation and Setup Guide) Press “0”
You are ready to enter the next zone. Repeat step 9a for each zone.
NOTE: If you have any unused hardwired zones, these zones should be disabled
using Zone Type 00. Then enter 1 when asked to delete zone. We also
recommend adding a resistor to the zone as well.
When all zones are entered, press 00 at the screen where is asks you for a zone
number to exit.
Step 9b: Wireless Device Zone Programming (*56) (Page 5-1 and 5-7 of the
Installation and Setup Guide)
Enter *56
Set to Confirm will be displayed on the screen. This means: Are you

Adding Additional Keypads:
The following are ways to add keypads to your system. Keep in mind keypads
can be addressed 16 to 23 with no duplicates in the addresses. The keypad
should come defaulted at 31, but we will default the keypad to make sure
everything is correct.
Step 1: Upon Power Up of the new keypad (when the main display goes blank),
Press and hold the “1” and “3” simultaneously. Then “--oo” will flash.
Step 2: While “--oo” is flashing enter “91”, then the system will beep and “--oo”
will be displayed.
Step 3: Press “1” and then the display will show “Ca 31”
Step 4: Enter “00” and then the address of the keypad. For the second keypad
this would be 17, 18 for the third keypad, etc. Enter * to save. “--00” will be
displayed and enter * again.
Your display will then show “Ad 00 17” (or the new address). The keypad will
restart on its own.
Step 5: On your programming keypad (Main Keypad 6160, 6160RF, or 6160V),
enter into the programming mode. You will need to activate address you used
(i.e. 17) in the programming section. Use the Installation and Setup Guide for
assistance on enabling your keypad address on page 2-5.

Step 6: If you address your keypad 17, enter programming mode by entering
“installer code + 800”. Field 20 (Installer Code Field) will be displayed. Enter data
field “*190”. Then enter “1 0” to enable your keypad. Then enter *99 to exit.
