message will not be sent via LRR.

•If not acknowledged before delay expires, message is

sent to both the Primary Phone No. and via LRR.

Communication Device (LRR) First selected (

•If acknowledged before delay expires, then message will

not be sent to the primary dialer.

•If not acknowledged before delay expires, message is

sent to both the Primary Phone No. and via LRR.

For AAV Path Select:

•If using the UVS system or AVS system with non-ECP

connection, option 0 must always be used.

•If using the AVS system with ECP connection, either

option (0 or 1) may be used, but note the following:

IMPORTANT: If option “1” is selected, a 2-way voice (AAV)

device compatible with the communication device path must

be used (ex. GSMV communicator). When selected, AAV

sessions always occur via the GSMV communicator, even if

reporting reverts to phone line backup due to GSMV

communicator path reporting failure.

∗∗

∗59 Exit Error Alarm Report Code [1]

SIA NOTE: Always enabled. Sends both exit error and zone

alarm reports in the event of an exit error condition. Also see

field *69.

After arming the system, entry/exit and interior zones

remaining open after exit delay expires cause an alarm

sound at the keypad and external sounder (keypad also

displays “EXIT ALARM”), and entry delay begins. Disarming

before the end of the entry delay stops the alarm sounding

and no message is sent to the central station. The keypad

will display “CA” (fixed-word) or “ALARM CANCELED”

(alpha display).

If the system is not disarmed before entry delay expires, an

“EXIT ALARM” message and zone alarm message will be

sent to the central station. The keypad will display “EA”

(fixed-word ) or “EXIT ALARM” (alpha display), and alarm

sounding continues until the system is disarmed (or timeout

occurs).

An Exit Alarm condition will also result if a fault occurs in an

exit or interior zone within 2 minutes following the end of the

∗56 ZONE PROGRAMMING MENU MODE

(press *56 while in Program mode) The Zone Programming Worksheet is on page 28.

Zones and Partitions

Each protection zone needs to be programmed with various attributes using *56 Zone Programming mode or ✱58 Expert

Programming Mode. Using this mode, enter the zone number to be programmed and make appropriate entries at the

prompts. Finally, Confirm the serial number of wireless transmitter zones.

The VISTA-20PMT system can control two independent areas of protection (known as partitions) for use by independent

users, if desired, by simply assigning zones to one or the other partition during zone programming. The VISTA-20PMT, by

default, automatically distributes users between the two partitions. The master user can change the user number distributions.

Zones can also be assigned to a common partition, which is an area shared by users of both partitions (such as a lobby in a

building). This allows either partition to arm, while leaving the common partition disarmed for access into the other partition.

The following describes the functioning of the VISTA-20PMT common partition:

• The common zone sounds and reports alarms only when both partitions are armed. If only one partition is armed, the

system ignores faults on the common zone.

• Either partition may arm its system if the common zone is faulted, but once armed, the other partition will not be able to arm

unless the common zone is first bypassed or the fault is corrected.

• Faults on the common zone are displayed on common zone keypads, and will also appear on another partition’s keypad

when that partition is armed.

• Either partition can clear and restore the common zone after an alarm.

For each of the following prompts, make the desired entry, followed by the [∗] key to accept the entry.

NOTE: To change the input type of a previously programmed wireless

device to a wired zone, you must first delete the transmitter’s serial

number.

All of the RF transmitters have one or more unique factory-assigned

input (loop) ID codes. Each of the inputs requires its own programming

zone

(e.g., a 5804's four inputs require four programming zones).

RF Transmitters can be enrolled as one of the following types:

Type Description

(Supervised RF) Sends periodic check-in signals, as well as fault,

restore, and low-battery signals. The trans. must

stay within receiver's range.

(Unsupervised RF) Sends all the signals that the “RF” type does, but

the control does not supervise the check-in

signals. The transmitter may therefore be carried

off-premises.

(Unsupervised

Button RF)

Sends only fault signals. It will not send a low-

battery signal until it is activated. The transmitter

may be carried off-premises.

NOTE: For the built-in hardwired zones, the Input Device type is

automatically displayed as HW and cannot be edited.

–15 –

INPUT S/N

Enroll the transmitter’s serial number and loop number as follows:

1. a. Transmit two open/close sequences (for button-type

transmitters, press and release the button twice, waiting

about 4 seconds before pressing the button the second

time).

b. Manually enter the 7-digit serial number printed on the label

of the transmitter. Press the [∗] key to move to the “L”

position, then enter the loop number.

Use the [A] (Advance) and [B] (Back) keys to move the

cursor forward and back within the screen. Pressing the [C]

(Copy) key will insert the previously enrolled serial number, if

desired (used when programming a transmitter with several

input loops).

To delete an existing serial number, enter 0 in the loop

number field. The serial number will change to 0's. If 0

was entered in error, simply re-enter the loop number or

press [#], and the serial number will return to the display.

2. Press [∗] to continue. The system now checks for a duplicate

serial/loop number.

If no duplicate is found, the display shows the serial number

and loop number.

3. Press [∗] to continue to confirmation screen.

Loop Number Change

NOTE: If the [C] key is used to copy the previously enrolled serial

number, the cursor will move to the Loop column (L) with the

previous serial number displayed, and display a highlighted

question mark for the loop number.

Enter the loop number and press [✱]. The system will now check

for a duplicate serial/loop number combination.

XMIT TO confirm

Appears if you answered “Yes” at the “Set to Confirm” prompt.

Activate the loop input or button that corresponds to this zone.

Press [∗] to continue.

OUTPUT DEVICE PROGRAMMING GENERAL INFORMATION (*79/*80 Menu Mode)

Output Devices: The VISTA-20PMT system supports up to 16 relays and/or Powerline Carrier devices (X-10 devices)

plus 2 built-in trigger outputs in any combination. These 18 “outputs” are assigned to system-wide output

numbers (01-18). Use *79 Menu Mode to assign output numbers and map them to device addresses.

The VISTA-15PMT supports 8 relays and 2 built-in trigger outputs (total 10 outputs).

Output Functions: The system also provides installer-defined output functions, which can be assigned to any of the physical

outputs. Therefore, the action of any one of the outputs can be based on as many of these defined

functions as desired. This lets a single relay or X-10 device perform many functions.

The control supports: V20PMT = up to 48 defined functions; V15PMT = up to 24 functions

Use *80 Menu Mode to define output functions.

WARNING: Relays and output devices are not recommended for life safety applications.

NOTE: When navigating the *79 and *80 menus: The [✱] key is used to accept an entry and advance to the next prompt.

The [#] key is used to revert back to the last question to check or change an entry. Press [✱] to go forward again.

Programming Output Devices

1. Use *79 Menu Mode to assign module and output numbers and map them to device addresses.

NOTE: You must map output devices using *79 Menu Mode before you can use *80 menu Mode.

2. Use *80 Menu Mode to create output definitions, which control the output devices, if desired.

3. Use *81 Zone List Menu mode to define zone lists for use with output devices if the device action is based on more than

one zone.

•To program a device for manual activation (user code + [#] [7] / [#] [8] + 2-digit device number) or for scheduled automatic

activation, simply map the device using *79 Menu mode.

•To program a device to automatically activate upon a system event (or function key), use *79 Menu mode to map the device,

then use *80 Menu mode to define the automated device action.

∗80 OUTPUT FUNCTION MENU MODE

(press ∗

∗∗

∗80 while in Programming mode)

The Output Definition Worksheet is on page 30.

Use this mode to program output function definitions (up to 48 functions) that provide automated control of any of the output

devices, based on events occurring on individual zones or zones with certain zone types. Each output definition is identified

by an output function number, and includes the following components:

Output Definition Components

Component Description

Output Function No. A reference number that defines an output’s characteristics.

Activated By Determines whether the initiating event occurs on a zone, a zone list, or a zone type.

Event Event that triggers the output action. Can be an event occurring on a specific zone number or a

zone list, or a specific zone type.

Partition If the output is activated by zone type, this defines the partition in which the programmed event is

to cause the device action.

Output Action Defines the action of the relay/X-10 device when the defined event occurs. Can close for 2

seconds, stay closed until reset, continuously pulse (1-second close-open-close-open, etc.),

toggle the device state, or activate for a defined duration (set in data field *177).

Output No. Assigns this function to a specific output number (defined in *79 Menu Mode). This is the output

number that will perform this function upon the triggering event. Note that each defined function is

associated with only one output number. This means that if more than one output device needs to

perform this particular function, you need to define another output function number with the same

attributes, but assign the appropriate output number. (i.e. output devices can be assigned more

than one function number, but each function number can only be assigned a single output

number.

For example, if you want to pulse a strobe light upon fire alarms on zone 4 using a relay mapped to output number 2 (as

programmed in *79 Menu Mode), program the following in *80 Menu Mode:

Prompt Entry

Output Funct. # = 01 (assuming this is the first output function)

Activated By: = 3 (zone number)

Enter Zn No. = 04 (requires 2-digit zone numbers)

Output Action = 3 (continuous pulse)

Output Number = 02 (device mapped in *79 Menu Mode)

∗82 ALPHA DESCRIPTOR MENU MODE

The system lets you assign zone descriptors for protection zones, keypad panics, and RF receiver supervision faults. Each

description can be composed of a combination of up to 3 words selected from a vocabulary of words stored in memory (see

Alpha Vocabulary List page). In addition, up to 10 installer-defined words can be added to those already in memory, plus 3

additional words can be assigned as partition descriptors. Thus, when an alarm or trouble occurs in a zone, an appropriate

description for that zone's location can be displayed at the keypad. Zone descriptors are recommended for systems using Alpha

display keypads, and are necessary if a 4286VIP Phone Module is used.

NOTE: You can also enter zone descriptors when the zone is being defined in ✱56 Menu mode.

4286 NOTE: If using a 4286VIP Phone Module, select from those words in the Alpha Vocabulary List shown in boldface

type. The phone module will not provide annunciation of the other words.

If a Phone Module is added to an existing system, the Alpha descriptors presently in the system should be reprogrammed,

selecting from those words shown in boldface type in the Alpha Vocabulary List. The phone module will not provide

annunciation of any other words.

ADDING CUSTOM WORDS (up to 10 words)

You can add up to 10 installer-defined words to the built-in

vocabulary, which can then be used when programming zone

descriptors. Each of the 10 words can actually consist of a word

string of one or more words, but no more than

ten

characters can be

used for each word or word string.

For custom words, the keys have the following functions:

[4] moves cursor one space to the left.

[6] moves cursor one space to the right.

[8] saves the new word in the system's memory.

1. Select Custom Word mode (enter 1) when the prompt “CUSTOM

WORD ?” is displayed.

2. Enter the number (01–10, or 11, 12, 13 for partition descriptors– see

corresponding to index numbers 245 - 254 respectively. A cursor

appears at the beginning of the second line.

NOTE: Custom words 8, 9, and 10 are “reminder words” that can be

programmed to display using Scheduling Mode.

3. Refer to the Character (ASCII) Chart on the next page.

Press [#], followed by the two-digit entry for the first letter you would

like to display (e.g., # 6 5 for “A”). The cursor moves to the right, in

position for the next character.

To delete a character, simply enter the SPACE character (#32) at

the unwanted character’s location.

4. Repeat Step 3 to create the desired word(s). Each word can be a

maximum of 10 characters (except custom message/partition

descriptor word numbers 11, 12, and 13, which can be a maximum of

16 characters).

5. When the word is complete, press the [8] key to save the custom

word(s) in the vocabulary list and return to the “CUSTOM WORD ?”

display.

6. Repeat Steps 1–5 for other custom words to be entered. To change

a custom word, just overwrite it. When all words have been

programmed, enter 0 at the “CUSTOM WORD ?” prompt to return to

the Program Alpha prompt. Enter 0 again to exit Descriptor mode.

To Assign Partition/Custom Message Descriptors, use Adding

Custom Words procedure, but:
