TO ENTER PROGRAMMING MODE:
Local programming requires the use of an alpha keypad connected to the keypad terminals on the control.
1. POWER UP, then depress [✱] a d [#] both at once, within 50 seconds of powering up.
OR
2. Initially, key: I staller Code (4 + 1 + 1 + 2) plus 8 + 0 + 0.
OR
3. If different I staller Code is programmed, key: New I staller Code + 8 + 0 + 0.
(if ✱98 was used to exit previously, method 1 above must be used to enter the program mode again)
Data Field Programmi g Procedures
Task Procedure
Go to a Data Field Press [∗] + [Field Number], followed by the required entry.
E teri g Data When the desired field number appears, simply make the required entry. When the last
entry for a field is entered, the keypad beeps three times and automatically displays the
next data field in sequence.
If the number of digits that you need to enter in a data field is less than the maximum
digits available (for example, the phone number fields *41, *42), enter the desired data,
then press [∗]. The entry is terminated and the next data field number appears.
Review a Data Field Press [#] + [Field Number].
Data will be displayed for that field number. No changes will be accepted in this mode.
Deleti g a E try Press [∗] + [Field Number] + [∗]. (Applies only to fields ∗40–*43, *45, *94, and pager
programming fields)
I teractive Mode Programmi g (∗56, *57, ∗58, ∗80, ∗81, ∗82)
Press [✱]+[I teractive Mode No.] (for example, ✱56). The alpha display keypad will display the first of a series of prompts
requesting entries.
I teractive Mode Used to Program
✱56 Zone Programming Zone characteristics, report codes, alpha descriptors, and serial numbers for 5800
RF transmitters.
✱57 Function Key Programming Unlabeled keypad keys (known as ABCD keys) for special functions
✱58 Zone Programming Same options as *56 mode, but with fewer prompts. Intended for those familiar with
(Expert mode) this type of programming, otherwise *56 mode is recommended.
✱79 Output Device Mapping Assign module addresses and map individual relays/powerline carrier devices
✱80 Output Programming 4229 or 4204 Relay modules, Powerline Carrier devices, or on-board triggers
✱81 Zone List Programming Zone Lists for relay/powerline carrier activation, chime zones, pager zones, etc.
✱82 Alpha Programming Zone alpha descriptors
INITIALIZE DOWNLOAD a d RESET DEFAULTS
✱96 Initializes download ID and subscriber account number.
✱97 Sets all data fields to original factory default values.
TO EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE:
✱98 Exits programming mode and
prevents
re-entry by: I staller Code + 8+ 0+ 0. If ✱98 is used to exit programming
mode, system must be powered down, and method 1 above used to enter the programming mode.
✱99 Exits programming mode and
allows
re-entry by: I staller Code + 8+ 0 + 0or method 1 above.
Special Messages
OC = OPEN CIRCUIT (no communication between Keypad and Control).
EE or ENTRY ERROR = ERROR (invalid field number entered; re-enter valid field number).
After powering up, AC, dI (disabled) or Busy Sta dby and NOT READY will be displayed after approximately 4 seconds.
This will revert to a “Ready” message in approximately 1 minute, which allows PIRS, etc. to stabilize. You can bypass this
delay by pressing [#] + [0].
If E4 or E8 appears, more zones than the expansion units can handle have been programmed. Correct the programming
and then completely de-power and re-power the control to clear this indication and remove the disable indication.

Co figurable Zo e Types Worksheets
Configurable zone types 90 and 91 can be programmed via downloader software or from a keypad using data
fields*182-*185. Configurable zone types 92 and 93 (VISTA-20P only) can only be programmed using the
downloader software.
Programming Configurable Zone Type options involves entering 10 digits in data field *182 for zone type 90 and
field *184 for zone type 91, where each digit represents the sum of the values of its various options as shown in
the tables below. Use fields *183 and *185 to program Contact ID report codes for these zone types.

To calculate each digit’s e try:
Simply add the values of the selected options
in each of the digit’s columns (one option per
column). For example, to program Digit 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).

NOTES:
1. Do not use the “fault delay” option with a
configurable zone type if it is set for an
entry or exit delay, otherwise
unpredictable results may occur.
2. To create an interior type zone, select
“respond as interior zone type” (Digit 8,
interior type = yes), and set zone
response to “fault” in digits 3-4 to ensure
fault displays; do not set as “normal,”
“alarm,” or “trouble.”
3. Do not set fire zones to respond as a
“fault” (digits 1-6), otherwise faults will not
display unless the [∗] key is pressed.
4. 4219/4229 modules must use EOLRs or
unpredictable results may occur.
5. RF Zones: The “open” option in digits 1,
3, and 5 is not applicable for RF zones.
Use the “intact EOL” option for normal RF
zone conditions and “shorted” for off-
normal RF zone conditions.
6. Zone-Doubling/Double-Balanced: A short
on either zone of a zone-doubled pair or
on a double-balanced zone causes a
tamper condition.
