VAM (VISTA Automation Module) - Installation & Setup Guide

Introduction

VISTA Automation Module (herein referred to as “VAM”) combines home automation and home security and is intended for use with compatible VISTA® series control panels. VAM includes a built-in web server, Wi-Fi® capability, and Z-Wave® technology allowing VISTA installations to support Z-Wave devices.

The VISTA Automation Module also supports Remote Services for controlling Z-Wave devices and Scenes remotely from an associated Total Connect™ account.

VAM is controlled using a web browser on a Wi-Fi enabled smart device such as a Tablet PC, laptop, Smartphone, etc. DISPLAY NOTE: For optimum viewing of the screens and menus, the tablet’s font size setting may need to be adjusted.

Connect VAM to the control panel’s keypad data (ECP) terminals using a standard 4-wire keypad connector harness.

Wire Connections to the Control Panel

Verify that VAM and other connected devices do not ex

ceed the control’s Aux Power output capability. If it does, use a supplementary power supply as shown.

IMPORTANT: When VAM is powered from an auxiliary power supply, always apply power to the control panel first and then VAM. Failure to observe this sequence results in improper operation of VAM and may result in an ECP Error indication.

VAM is for indoor use only and should be mounted near the control panel or a keypad connected to the control panel for ease of wiring.

VAM mounts to a wall surface by hanging on two screws. See the diagram below.

• Leave the screw heads 1/8” above the wall surface.

• If necessary, drill a hole in the wall for the wire harness to pass

through.

• Connect the wire harness to the VAM before mounting.

Insert an SD/SDHC Memory Card

An SD card must be installed to receive automatic software upgrades. The SD card can be left in the VAM. See Software Upgrades section.

• Avoid touching the contacts on the card

• 4GB SD card supplied

• Supports up to 16GB SD Card

Supplementary Power Connections

Insert the memory card (SD/SDHC Card) as shown.

Indicates power status. Blinking when it is powered up and booting. Solid green when it is fully functional.

When the WIFI is connected to the VAM, it will show the WIFI status through the blue LED. The LED is blinking when VAM is booting and solid blue when VAM is ready as AP mode (acting as an Access Point) or connects to the internet as STA mode (station mode, device is connected to the Wi-Fi router).

Normally off. It will blink slowly when there is no ECP(including ECP error) or Zresponding. Fast blinking indicates Z-wave is in enrollment or deletion status.

Press to reset the device.

Wi-Fi Network Reset: Press and hold down

for more than 5 seconds to clear the VAM’s Wi-Fi network connection. You will then need to reconnect the VAM to your home Wi-Fi network.

• Factory Default Reset: Double press this button, then, while the green, blue, and yellow LEDs blink in sequence, press and hold down this button for more than 5 seconds to set the VAM to its factory default settings.

To set up the WiFi network for VAM, you will need the following:

• Wi-Fi enabled smart device (

Tablet PC, laptop, Smartphone, etc.

• VAM SSID and WPA2 password (located on the VAM’s label)

• VAM default IP address: 192.168.2.1

• Home router SSID and WPA2 password (typically located on

the home router’s label); home router must use WPA2 encryption and have a password (key) assigned.

NOTES: 1. Before setting up the network, set your smart device

for Wi-Fi operation only (turn off 3G/4G option).

2. be repeated to connect the VAM to the new router.

1. Connect a smart device to VAM.

a. Power up the VAM. b. Connect the smart device to the VAM using the device’s

WiFi settings menu (VAM is a wireless access point). Enter the VAM SSID: VAM_xxxx (SSID is case-sensitive) NOTE: xxxx = the last 4 digits of the MAC address Enter the Key (found on the VAM label “WPA2 pw” line)

2. Access VAM’s home screen.

a. Open a web browser on the computer device. b. Go to VAM’s default IP address: 192.168.2.1 c. Optional: Z-Wave devices can be installed and added into

the system before connecting to the home router (ex. the

home router is not available at the time of VAM

installation). by using the VAM automation menus. Refer to

the Adding Z-Wave Devices section for details. d. When ready to connect the VAM to the home router

network, go to step 3.

3. Connect the VAM to the home router.

a. From the main menu, click the Set Home Router button. b. Enter the home router SSID and security key (SSID and security key are case-sensitive). c. Click Connect. A countdown begins and displays “Trying

to connect to the Router: xxxx, please stay in this page

and wait…” VAM can take about 2 minutes to connect to

the home router. During this time, a new network IP

address is assigned to the VAM. d. When done, VAM automatically connects to the home

router.

Retrieve and save VAM’s network IP address.

a. Leave the browser page open (minimize, but don’t close, if

needed). b. Reconnect the device to the VAM using the device’s Wi-Fi

settings menu. c. When connected to the VAM, return to the open browser

page and click the Show IP Info link. d. The home router’s SSID and VAM’s new IP address is

shown. e. Select the Fixed IP option and replace the displayed IP

address with the recommended address shown. Note this

IP address for future reference. Click the Save button. f. At the “…do you want to continue?” prompt, click the

checkmark (yes). VAM reboots, then automatically

connects to the home router and opens the main menu.

Complete the setup and bookmark VAM’s URL.

a. VAM should now be connected to the home network

router. b. Bookmark the URL displayed in the browser’s address bar

for easy access to VAM later. c. To access VAM’s main menu at a later session, simply go

to the bookmarked address, or find the IP address at the
