Partitioning
• Can control 8 separate areas independently, each functioning as if it had its own separate control.
• 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.
• Provides a Master partition (9), used for the purpose of viewing the status of all partitions at the same time.
Scheduling
• Can automate system functions, such as arming, disarming, and activation of outputs (e.g., lights).
• Provides access schedules (for limiting system access to users by time).
• Provides an End User Output Programming Mode, allowing the user to control outputs.
Access Control
• Provides the capability to trigger a relay for two seconds by entering the user code + 0 at a keypad.
System Communication
• Supports ADEMCO Contact ID; ADEMCO High Speed; ADEMCO Express; and 3+1, 4+1, and 4+2 ADEMCO and
Sescoa/Radionics Low-Speed formats.
The system is shipped defaulted for Contact ID communication. It
is the only format capable of uniquely reporting all
86 zones, as well as openings and closings for all 75 users. This requires central stations to be equipped with the
685 receiver using software level 4.10 or higher to fully support all new VISTA-50P/VISTA-50PUL report codes. If
you need to update your 685 receiver, contact your distributor.
• Provides an Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) option that permits voice dialog between an operator at the central
station and a person at the premises. An AAV unit, such as ADEMCO UVS, is required.

• Can print the event log on a serial printer using the 4100SM.
• Can view the event log on an alpha keypad.
Additional Features
• Provides up to 20 installer-defined, custom words that can be used for zone descriptors.
• Provides a keypad macro command (macro is a series of keypad commands of up to 16 keystrokes) using the D key
by partition.
• Provides cross-zone capability, which helps prevent false alarms by preventing a zone from going into alarm unless
its cross-zone is also faulted within a 5-minute period.
• Contains a built-in User’s Manual, which provides the end user with a brief explanation of the function of a key
when the user presses any of the function keys on the keypad for 5 seconds.
• Provides trigger outputs, which may interface with Long Range Radio equipment or other devices such as keyswitch
LEDs, printer, or pager.
At least one 2-line alpha keypad (6139/6160) must be connected to the system for programming (if you are using
keypad programming), and must remain connected to the system in order to allow the primary user to program
additional user codes into the system at a later time.

SECTION 2
Partitioning
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Theory of Partitioning
This system provides the ability to arm and disarm up
to 8 different areas, as if each had its own control.
These areas are called partitions. A Partitioned system
allows the user to disarm certain areas while leaving
other areas armed, or to limit access to certain areas to
specific individuals. Each system user can be assigned
to operate any or all partitions, and can be given a
different authority level in each.
Before anything can be assigned to those partitions, you
must first determine how many partitions (1-8) are
required. Following are some facts you need to know
about partitioning.
Keypads
Each keypad must be given a unique "address" and be
assigned to one partition. It can also be assigned to
Partition 9 if Master keypad operation is desired. (See
“Master Keypad Setup and Operation”later in this
section.)
Zones
Each zone must be assigned to one partition. The zones
assigned to a partition will be displayed on that
partition's keypad(s).
Users
Each user may be given access to one or more
partitions. If a user is to operate more than one
partition and would like to arm/disarm all or some of
those partitions with a single command, the user must
be enabled for Global Arming for those partitions (when
entering user codes).
A user with access to more than one partition (multiple
access) can "log on" to one partition from another
partition's keypad, provided that program field 2*18:
Enable GOTO is enabled for each partition he/she
wants to log on to from another.
A partition can be selected as a "common lobby"
partition, and other partitions can affect this partition
by causing arming/disarming of this partition to be
automated (see “Common Lobby Logic”later in this
section).
Setting-Up a Partitioned System
The basic steps to setting up a partitioned system are
described below. If you need more information on how
to program the options, see SECTION 4: Programming.
1. Determine how many partitions the system will
consist of (programmed in field 2*00).
2. Assign keypads to partitions (Device Programming
in the #93 Menu Mode).
3. Assign zones to partitions (Zone Programming in
the #93 Menu Mode).
4. Confirm zones are displayed at the keypad(s)
assigned to those partitions.
5. Assign users to partitions.
6. Enable the GOTO feature (program field 2*18) for
each partition a multiple-access user can log on to
(alpha keypad only).
7. Program partition-specific fields (see the Data Field
Descriptions section).
Common Lobby Logic
When an installation consists of a partition shared by
users of other partitions in a building, that shared
partition may be assigned as the "common lobby"
partition for the system (program field 1*17). An
example of this might be in a medical building where
there are two doctors’offices and a common entrance
area (see example that follows explanation).
The Common Lobby feature employs logic for automatic
arming and disarming of the common lobby. Two
programming fields determine the way the common
lobby will react relative to the status of other partitions.
They are: 1*18 Affects Lobby and 1*19 Arms Lobby.
WWW.DIYALARMFORUM.COM

VISTA-50P/VISTA-50PUL Installation and Setup Guide
2-2
1*18 Affects Lobby (must be programmed by
partition)
Setting this field to 1 for a specific partition causes that
partition to affect the operation of the common lobby as
follows:
a. When the first partition that affects the lobby is
disarmed, the lobby is automatically disarmed.
b. The common lobby cannot be armed unless every
partition selected to affect the lobby is armed.
1*19 Arms Lobby (must be programmed by
partition)
Setting this field to 1 for a specific partition causes that
partition to affect the operation of the common lobby as
follows:
a. The common lobby cannot be armed unless every
partition selected to affect the lobby is armed.
b. Arming a partition causes the system to
automatically attempt to arm the lobby. If any
faults exist in the lobby partition, or if another
partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the
lobby cannot be armed, and the message "UNABLE
TO ARM LOBBY PARTITION" is displayed.
You cannot select a partition to "arm" the lobby
unless it has first been selected to "affect" the
lobby. Do not enable field 1*19 without enabling
field 1*18.
The following chart sums up how the common lobby
partition will operate.

Example
Here is an example of how the lobby would react in a
typical setup.
OFFICE 1 OFFICE 2
MAIN ENTRANCE
COMMON LOBBY
V128BP-001-V0
User #1 has access to Office #1 and the Common Lobby.
User #2 has access to Office #2 and the Common Lobby.
Office #1 is set up to affect the Common Lobby, but not
arm it.
Office #2 is set up to affect and arm the Common Lobby.
NOTE: In the tables below, the notations in
parentheses ( ) indicate the current status of the other
partition when the user takes action.
Sequence #1:
Office 1 Office 2 Lobby Action
User #1: Disarms (Armed) Disarms
User #2: (Disarmed) Disarms No Change
User #1: Arms (Disarmed) No change
User #2: (Armed) Arms Arms
Sequence #2:
Office 1 Office 2 Lobby Action
User #2: (Armed) Disarms Disarms
User #1: Disarms (Disarmed) (No change)
User #2: (Disarmed) Arms No Change
User #1: Arms (Armed) No Change
Notice that in sequence #1, because Office #2 was the
last to arm, the lobby also armed (Office #2 is
programmed to affect and arm the lobby). In sequence
#2, the lobby could not arm when Office #2 armed,
because Office #1, which affects the lobby, was still
disarmed.
When Office #1 armed, the lobby still did not arm
because Office #1 was not programmed to arm the
lobby. User #1 would have to arm the lobby manually.
Therefore, you would want to program a partition to
affect and arm the lobby if the users of that partition
are expected to be the last to leave the building.
How User Access Codes Affect the Common Lobby
Codes with Global Arming
If a code is given "global arming" when it is defined (see
SECTION 9: User Access Codes), the keypad prompts
the user to select the partitions they want to arm. Only
the partitions the user has access to are displayed. This
allows the user to choose the partitions to be armed or
disarmed, and so eliminates the "automatic" operation
of the lobby. Keep in mind, however, that if a user
attempts to arm all, and another "affecting" partition is
disarmed, the user cannot arm the lobby, and the
message "UNABLE TO ARM LOBBY PARTITION" is
displayed.
Codes with Non-Global Arming
If a user arms with a non-global code, the lobby
partition operation is automatic, as described by fields
1*18 and 1*19.
