UL864 (Commercial Fire) Compliance
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
General Requirements
The VISTA-128FBPN control panels provide features that allow the system to meet UL864 Commercial Fire
requirements. To meet these requirements, follow the guidelines outlined in this section.
•The reporting of bypassed points to the central station must be enabled in Report Code Programming mode.
•Fire alarm notification circuits must be supervised (e.g., supervisory zones 970 and 971 for Bell 1 and Bell 2 outputs)
•Only one relay of the 4204CF can be programmed for a NAC. If the 4204CF relay is programmed as a NAC, the stop
action must be programmed as a zone type 62, Bell 2 Timeout.
•Output devices are not intended for overriding automatic fire and building functions.
•Line cut detection must be enabled for both the main and backup phone lines (supervisory zones 974 and 975).
•Access Control Devices cannot be used.
•Audio Alarm Verification Devices cannot be used.
•Remote downloading can only be performed if a service person is at the premises.
•All supervision zones for the polling loop, RF receivers, keypads, NAC outputs, and telephone lines that are used, must
be enabled as zone type 19 (24-hour trouble).

•Provides global arming capability (ability to arm all partitions the user code has access to in one command).
•Can Quick Exit an armed premises without having to disarm and then rearm the system.
•Can be armed in one of three STAY modes or Instant modes, automatically bypassing specific burglary zones
regardless of the zone response type.
•Can automatically bypass specific zones if no one exits the premises after arming (Auto-STAY). Auto-STAY will not
occur if the system is armed via an RF transmitter, scheduling, keyswitch or downloading.
•Can bypass a group of zones with one set of keystrokes.
•Supports Exit Error Logic, whereby the system can tell the difference between a regular alarm and an alarm caused
by leaving an entry/exit door open. If the system is not subsequently disarmed, faulted entry/exit zone(s) and/or
interior zones are bypassed and the system arms.
•Supports Recent Close report, which is designed to notify the central station that an alarm has occurred within 2
minutes after the exit delay has expired.
Partitioning
•Can control 8 separate areas (partitions) independently, each functioning as if it had its own separate control. All
fire zones must be assigned to partition 1.
•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.
•Can display fire, burglary, panic, and trouble conditions at all other partitions’keypads (selectable option).
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.
System Communication
•Provides supervision of the phone lines (main and backup)
•Supports the 5140DLM optional backup dialer for the second phone line.
•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
128 zones, as well as openings and closings for all 150 users. This requires central stations to be equipped with the
MX8000 receiver to fully support all new VISTA-128FBPN report codes. If you need to update your MX8000
receiver, contact your distributor.
•Provides the Dialer Queue Report in the event of a loss of communications between the dialer and the central
station, i.e. telco loss. The total events that will be queued up are 128 (91 Burg + 37 Life Safety). A Dialer Queue
Overflow report (E354) will be sent if the report queue goes beyond its limits. Note that: Life Safety includes Fire,
CO, 24 HR Silent/Audible/Auxiliary, and Duress. Life Safety events may go beyond 37 (up to 128) if there are no
Burg events in the queue. If all dialer attempts are exhausted before communication to the central station is
restored, the queue will be cleared.
Downloading
•Supports upload and download capability. (Downloading must be site-initiated for Commercial Fire installations.)
•Can perform unattended downloading (no one at the downloading computer).
•Provides an Installer Unattended Program Mode. This allows the installer to program the download phone number,

as a battery saver (removes power from non-critical loads 4 hours after AC power loss).
•Provides up to 60 installer-defined, custom words that can be used for zone descriptors.
•Provides 35 keypad macro commands (each macro is a series of keypad commands of up to 32 keystrokes) using the
A, B, C, and D keys 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 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 Communicator equipment or other devices such as keyswitch
LEDs, or printer.
•Provides an option to have trouble and supervisory conditions to automatically clear from the display when the zone
returns to the ready/normal state (entry of Code + OFF is not required).
•Provides Maintenance Signal support for certain smoke detectors (5192SD, 5192SDT, 5193SD, 5193SDT).
At least one 2-line alpha keypad (6160/6160CR-2) 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.
Guidelines for Wiring a System
The installer must keep certain guidelines in mind while installing a system. The Vista-128FBPN contains an ECP bus
and a polling loop bus for connecting Fire and Burglary devices. When installing a Fire ONLY system or Burglary ONLY
system both busses may be used interchangeably. When installing a Commercial Fire and Burglary System all Fire
devices must be isolated from the Burglary devices. This is accomplished by using an isolator as shown in Figure 1-1.
Additionally, in Commercial Fire installations, the primary keypad must be connected to Keypad Port 2 mounted within
20 feet of the control panel, and wired in conduit.
A fault on an SLC may disable all NACs on that circuit therefore only one NAC per SLC circuit may be used.
Synchronization is based on the individual zone output basis only, not between each sync module. There is no
synchronization between the individual sync modules.
Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) must be wired and isolated or Riser Conductors must be installed in accordance
with the survivability from attack by fire requirements in the National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72.

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.)
ULIn Commercial Fire installations, field 2*18 (Log on from other partitions) must be disabled for partition 1.
Zones
Each zone must be assigned to one partition. The zones assigned to a partition will be displayed on that partition's
keypad(s).
ULAll fire zones must be assigned to partition 1 to ensure that all Fire Test modes operate correctly.
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 SECTION 5: Data Field Descriptions).
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).

VISTA-128FBPN Installation and Setup Guide
2-2
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.
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 that is programmed to arm the lobby 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.
