INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
ABOUT VISTAVIEW-100
The VistaView-100 module is a CCTV switcher that accepts
4 video inputs, switching them to 2 video outputs. The
VistaView-100 module features:
•4 video inputs compatible with any standard 75-ohm,
line-locked, black and white or color video camera
•2 video outputs compatible with any standard 75-ohm
video monitor or recorder
•A form-C trigger relay output that may be used to
start/stop recording, or to change from time lapse to
real time recording
•An open collector video loss output that indicates when
video signals are no longer present on one or more
video inputs.
Modes of Operation
Normal Sequencing Mode — automatically sequences
installer selected video inputs to the outputs using a
common installer selected dwell time. This allows cameras
assigned to a given output to be continuously monitored
using a video monitor and/or continuously recorded using a
recorder set for time lapse recording. A control panel is not
required for operation in this mode.
Panel Trigger Mode — switches a specific video input to the
OUTPUT1 line on a momentary basis using a separate
installer selected dwell time, or on a latched basis as
directed by commands received from a control panel. A
control panel that supports the 4204 relay module is
required in this mode. In this mode VistaView-100:
•Receives commands via the control’s ECP bus
•Responds to the same commands that the control uses
to activate the relays on the 4204 relay module
•Allows one specific camera to be monitored by a video
monitor and/or recorded by a recorder set for real time
recording when an installer defined event occurs such
as an alarm or trouble condition on a selected control
panel zone.
HOW TO INSTALL THE VISTAVIEW-100
ULVistaView-100 should be installed by a qualified
service person and its installation should conform to all
local codes.
The VistaView-100 is supplied in a plastic case that may be
wall mounted or placed on a shelf. To mount the case on a
wall:
1. Insert two supplied self-tapping screws into the wall
with a 3-1/4-inch horizontal separation. The screw
heads should project approximately 1/8-inch from the
wall.
2. Remove the VistaView-100 PCB from the case and
position the slotted holes on the case back onto the
screw heads with the holes for the BNC video
connectors facing down.
3. On the inside of the case, remove the plastic strip
covering the remaining unused slotted hole and insert a
screw into this hole to lock the case in position. After
tightening, make sure screw head is flush with case
back to avoid contact with the PCB.
4. Replace the VistaView-100 PCB into the case.
HOW TO CONNECT THE VISTAVIEW-100
When VistaView-100 is used with control panels that have
earth ground fault detection, a ground fault indication will
occur when video monitors, recorders, or cameras are
connected to the VistaView-100 that tie the shell of their
video BNC connector to earth ground via their power cord
or mounting bracket.
UL
Standalone UL Installations : VistaView-100 is listed as
a standalone unit for CCTV UL2044 applications.
Panel triggered UL Installations : VistaView-100 may be
connected as a supplemental device to listed fire
and/or burglar alarm control panels that support the
4204 relay module except as noted below.
•In UL installations, VistaView-100 may be
connected to panels that have ground fault
detection only if the local authority having
jurisdiction allows the ground fault detection
feature to be disabled.
•In non-UL installations requiring ground fault
detection, when possible, use cameras powered
by a power source such as a plug-in transformer
that is not earth grounded and isolate the
camera's mounting brackets from earth ground.
Connect a video ground loop isolation device
such as Vicon's V235GLTA Ground Loop
Transformer to the coaxial cable that runs
between VistaView-100 and the video monitor or
recorder (or camera if required) causing the
ground fault. Video ground loop isolation devices
are not UL listed and may not be used in UL
installations.
BNC Connectors
Use for video input and output connections to video
cameras, monitors, and recorders with 75-ohm coaxial
cable. Depending on the devices used, the maximum cable
length running from a camera, through VistaView-100, to a

–2 –
monitor or recorder is typically 500 to 1000 feet when high
quality, low distortion coaxial cable such as RG59B/U is
used. Consult the instructions provided with these devices
for cable length limitations.
Screw Terminals
Use for power source, ECP bus, trigger relay, and video loss
output connections.
•Run wires from VistaView-100’s power input and
ground screw terminals to a 12VDC-power source (such
as the control’s auxiliary power output or supplemental
12VDC-power supply).
•If panel trigger mode will be used, run wires from
VistaView-100's Data In/Out screw terminals to the
corresponding ECP bus terminals on the control.
•If video loss is to be annunciated by the control, the
video loss output must be connected to a zone on the
control having a grounded return. Connect one side of
the zone's EOLR to the control's zone + (or zone Hi)
input. Connect the other side of the EOLR to the
VistaView-100's video loss output. Program the zone for
24-hour trouble (or equivalent) response.
•When powered from a source other than the control (if
using either panel-triggered mode or video-loss
feature), run a wire from VistaView-100 ground screw
terminal to a ground terminal on the control so that
both devices share a common ground reference.
HOW TO PROGRAM THE VISTAVIEW-100
Normal Sequencing Mode
1. Set DIP switches (OUT1 and OUT2) to assign desired
video inputs to OUTPUT1 and OUTPUT2, respectively.
Switches 1-4 on each DIP switch enable INPUT1-
INPUT4 on the corresponding DIP switch output. For
example, turn on switch #3 on the DIP switch OUT1 to
enable INPUT3 on OUTPUT1 and so on.
2. Adjust the NSD trimpot to select desired normal
sequencing dwell time (1 to 30 seconds).
Panel Trigger Mode
1. Set ECP DIP switch to the address that will be used by
the control to communicate with the VistaView-100.
(Refer to the instructions provided with the control
when selecting this address.) The table below shows the
DIP switch settings for each of the 16 possible
addresses that can be selected. Be sure to choose an
address that is different from the addresses of all other
devices, including other VistaView-100 modules, which
are connected to the control’s ECP bus.
2. On some controls, it is necessary to program the
selected address into the control and to assign an
output device type (i.e.: type 4) to this address using the
applicable control programming menu.
3. Program the events that will trigger relay numbers 1
through 4 (corresponding to INPUT1 through INPUT4)
along with the start and stop options for these relays
into the control using the applicable control
programming menu. Video inputs should either be
assigned an "Activate for 2 seconds" start option (this
option does not require a stop option to be programmed)
or an "Activate Steady Until Stopped" start option (this
option requires a stop option to be programmed).
4. If the "Activate for 2 Seconds" start option is used,
adjust the PTD trimpot to select the desired panel
trigger dwell time (2-60 seconds).
VISTAVIEW-100 OPERATION
•When power is applied, VistaView-100 enters normal
sequencing mode where it automatically sequences
through the video inputs selected for each output. The
trigger relay remains inactive in this mode.
•When a command to activate a relay for 2 seconds is
received, the corresponding video input is switched to
OUTPUT1 for the dwell time set by the PTD trimpot.
•When a command to activate a relay steady is received,
VistaView-100 switches the corresponding video input
to OUTPUT1 until it receives another command to
deactivate the relay.
•When a command to activate a second, third, or fourth
relay is received before a previously switched input has
been deactivated, it automatically sequences between
all activated inputs using a fixed 1-second dwell time.
•VistaView-100 activates the trigger relay when one or
more inputs are switched to OUTPUT1 and deactivates
this relay when all inputs have been deactivated.
