RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTION

The Following Recommendations for the location of Fire and Burglary Detection Devices Help Provide Proper Coverage for the Protected Premises.

Recommendations for Smoke and Heat Detectors

With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.

Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection, a smoke detector should be installed outside of each separate sleeping area and on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit, including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended.

For additional protection, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages.

In addition, we recommend the following:

•Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.

•Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly or completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.

•Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portable heaters, air conditioners, or humidifiers) are used.

•Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.

•Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any room where alarm control connections to an AC source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire within the room could prevent the control from reporting a fire or an intrusion.

THIS CONTROL COMPLIES WITH NFPA REQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPORAL PULSE SOUNDING OF FIRE NOTIFICATION APPLIANCES.

Recommendations for Proper Intrusion Protection

For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This includes skylights and upper windows in a multi-level building.

In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).

Description

The VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN is a security system control that supports up to 32 zones, including six basic hardwired zones (1 through 6) and a maximum of 26 expansion zones. These expansion zones may include up to eight hardwired zones, or up to 26 wireless zones if hardwired zones are not used. Three separate keypad-activated zones are also provided.

Features

Basic Hardwired Zones

Provides 6 basic hardwired zones having the following characteristics:

•EOLR supervision supporting N.O. or N.C. sensors

•Programmable response time (10, 350, or 700 milliseconds)

•Up to sixteen 2-wire smoke detectors on zone 1

•4-wire smoke or heat detectors on zones 2 through 6 (as many as can be powered from Auxiliary Power on the control).

Optional Expansion Zones (26 total: up to 8 wired with 18 wireless, OR 26 wireless)

Wired Expansion:

Supports up to 8 additional wired zones using a 4219 Expansion Module or 4229

Expansion/Relay Module. These zones have the following characteristics:

•EOLR supervision supporting N.O. or N.C. sensors

•300-500mSec normal response with an option for fast (10-15mSec) response on loop A (first expansion zone).

Wireless Expansion:

Supports up to 26 wireless zones (fewer if using wired expansion zones).

• Requires the use of a 5881 (5882 in Canada) type RF receiver, as indicated below:

Receiver Model	No. of Zones
5881L/5882L	Up to 8
5881M/5882M	Up to 16
5881H/5882H	Up to 26

• Requires the use of 5800 Series Wireless Transmitters.

Remote Keypads

Up to 4 of any of the following keypads may be used in the installation:

Fixed-word keypad:	6128, 6128RF
Alpha keypad:	6139 (2-line alphanumeric display)

1–1

VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Installation and Setup Guide

Security Codes Supported

•One Installer code for entire system (user 1)

•One Master code for entire system (user 2)

•12 Secondary User codes (users 3–14)

•One Temporary code (user 15)

•One Duress code (user 16).

Temporary Code: A special code that can be used to disarm and arm the system until the Master code is entered.

Duress Code: An emergency code that, when entered by any user to disarm or arm the system, sends a silent duress message to the Central Station.

Keypad Panic Features

•Up to 3 programmable panic key functions provided

•Designated as zones 95, 96, 99

•Activated by wired and wireless keypads

•Distinguished by subscriber ID number.

Zone Monitor Features

•Provides automatic high loop resistance detection on hardwired zones 2–6, and displays a CHECK message for the affected zone when the system is in the disarmed state.

•Contains a Hardwire Short Detection circuit for zones 1-6†, and enabled in 30. Detecting a short in any wired zone, it sends a sensor Trouble message to the Central Station when the system is in the disarmed state. At the same time a CHECK message is displayed on the keypad.

† Hardwire Short Detection is disabled on any zone programmed for FIRE (Zone type 09).

Either condition (high resistance or short) detected on any zone, prevents the system from being armed until the offending condition is cleared. Conversely, when the system is armed, and these conditions occur, an alarm is generated.

Exit Error False Alarm Prevention Features

•Enables the system to determine the difference between an actual alarm and an alarm caused by leaving an entry/exit or interior zone open after the Exit Delay expires. If not disarmed in time, an alarm sounds and an Exit Error report is sent to the Central Station. An exit alarm condition also occurs if an entry/exit or interior zone re-opens within 2 minutes after the end of an Exit Delay.

•The system provides an automatic Exit Delay Reset feature that allows the user to exit (fault), close the door (restore the fault), then re-enter (fault again) the premises within the exit delay time period. Upon re-entering, a new exit delay time period is begun with the keypad annunciating three rapid beeps. This feature only resets the exit delay time once for each arming session.

Optional Output Relays and Powerline Carrier Devices (X10 type)

The VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN supports the following optional output relays and Powerline Carrier devices (X10 type):

•Maximum of 4 output devices

•Up to 4 relays using one 4204 Relay Module

•Up to 2 relays using one 4229 Zone/Relay Module

•Up to 4 Powerline Carrier devices (you must subtract the number of relay outputs actually

used by the 4204 or 4229 modules, if used).

Actions are programmable to respond to zone activity or manual keypad entries.

Powerline Carrier devices require the use of the optional 4300 Transformer Module instead of the supplied 1321/1321CN AC Transformer.

1–2

Section 1 - Introduction

Optional VIP Module

The VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN supports the ADEMCO 4285/4286 VIP Module (refer to

Section 8: 4285/4286 VIP Module for further information).

Provides access to the system via on-premises or off-premises phones for arming, disarming, etc., plus control of relay outputs and Powerline Carrier devices.

Paging Feature

If programmed, the paging feature allows certain system conditions to be reported to a pager. Up to 16 digits may be programmed to be sent as a message to the pager. A 7-digit code following the programmed message indicates the type of condition that has occurred.

Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) Option

Provides a programmable Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) option, which can be used in conjunction with an output relay to permit voice dialog between an operator at the Central Station and a person at the premises.

This AAV option must be used with a relay unit, such as an Eagle Model 1250.

UL	The AAV option may not be used in UL installations.

Optional Long Range Radio

Allows all messages that have been programmed to go to the primary telephone number to also be sent to any ECP-operational radio (such as the 7835C, 7720PLUS, and 7820) for transmission to the Central Station.

Built-in Telephone Line Monitoring Option

You can monitor telephone line voltage to supervise the phone line connection. You must connect the panel to a proper earth ground or you will get a false line cut indication if this feature is enabled.

The loss of the line can optionally cause a local display, or a display and trouble sound.

Event Logging

Keeps a record of up to 48 selected events in a history log. All control and readout from the log is done via ADEMCO COMPASS software only.

Quick Arm Feature

Quick Arm may be programmed , allowing use of the [#] key in place of the security code for arming (Quick Arm will not work unless the Master code has been programmed into the system).

Alarm Output Features

•Provides a 12VDC, 2 amp output that can drive the compatible sounders listed in Section 9: External Sounders (assuming a fully charged battery is connected).

•Steady output for burglary/panic, or temporal pulse output (3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses . . .) for fire.

•Uses current-limiting circuitry for protection.

•Provision for Bell supervision.

Optional Bell Supervision

Red jumper on control board, when cut, provides supervision of bell wiring (when bell is wired with EOL resistor, as indicated in the instructions).

VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Installation and Setup Guide

Chime/Chime by Zone

Chime, when on, normally sounds when any entry/exit or perimeter zone is faulted. However, a “chime by zone” option, when programmed, allows only specific zones to chime if they are faulted when the system is in the chime mode.

Auxiliary Power Output Features

•Provides 12VDC, 600mA maximum (500mA maximum for UL installations). Uses currentlimiting circuitry for protection.

•Interrupts for smoke detector reset if 4-wire smoke detectors are used.

Programming

Programmed options are stored in electrically erasable, nonvolatile EEPROM memory (information can be reprogrammed at any time and will not be lost in the event of a power loss).

The system can be uploaded, downloaded, or controlled via an IBM-compatible computer, COMPASS software, and a modem specified by ADEMCO.

Keypad programming consists of:

•Data field programming

•Interactive (menu) mode programming.

To program from a keypad, you must connect a 6139 2-line alpha keypad, but it need not stay in the system.

Communication Formats Supported

•ADEMCO Low Speed (Standard or Expanded)

•Sescoa/Radionics (Standard or Expanded)

•ADEMCO Express

•ADEMCO Contact ID

Zone Descriptors

You can assign alpha descriptors to all zones (only when using alpha keypads).

AC Power Supply

Uses 1321/1321CN, 110VAC plug-in transformer with 16.5VAC, 25VA output, unless Powerline Carrier devices (for example, X10 type) are used, in which case a 4300 Transformer Module must be used.

Mounting the Cabinet

Use fasteners or anchors (not supplied) to mount the control cabinet to a sturdy wall in a clean, dry area that is not readily accessible to the general public. Four mounting holes are provided at the back of the cabinet.

If an RF receiver is being used and you intend to mount its PC board within the cabinet, note the following:

•Do not mount the cabinet on or near metal objects. This decreases RF range and/or block RF transmissions from wireless transmitters.

•Do not locate the cabinet in an area of high RF interference (revealed by frequent or prolonged lighting of the LED in the receiver after it is operational (random flicker is OK).

Installing the Lock (if used)

Use an ADEMCO No. N6277 Cam Lock and No. N6277–1 Push-On Clip (Retainer Clip). NOTE:The cabinet can be closed and secured without a lock by using 2 screws in the cover's edge.

To install the lock, perform the following steps:

1.Remove the cabinet door. It is easily removed for servicing and is easily reinstalled.

2.Remove the lock knockout from the control cabinet door. Insert the key into the lock. Position the lock in the hole, making certain that the latch will make contact with the latch bracket when the door is closed.

3.Hold the lock steady and insert the retainer clip into the retainer slots. Position the clip as illustrated in order to permit easy removal.

Wiring the AC Transformer

1321/1321CN Transformer

Wire the 1321/1321CN Transformer to terminals 1 and 2 on the control board. See wiring table below to determine wire gauge.

Use caution when wiring the transformer to the control panel to guard against blowing the fuse inside the transformer (the fuse is nonreplaceable).

4300 Transformer

If you are going to use a 4300 Transformer Interface (required if Powerline Carrier devices are used), connect the 4300 Transformer’s terminals as follows:

1.Connect terminals 1, 3 (AC), and 2 (Ground) to control board terminals 1, 2, and 25, respectively (see Figure 5). See table below to determine wire gauge to use.

WIRING TABLE

Distance of Transformer	Wire Gauge
From the Control Panel	to Use
Up to 50 feet	# 20
50-100 feet	# 18
100-250 feet	# 16

Wiring to the AC transformer must not exceed 250 feet using 16-gauge wire. The voltage reading between terminals 1 and 2 of the control must not fall below 16.5VAC, or an AC LOSS message is displayed.

Do not plug the transformer into the AC outlet until you are instructed to do so later in the manual.

2.Wire the other three terminals (Sync, Data, Com) on the 4300 Transformer. Wires from these terminals must be connected to a 9-pin connector on the control board (using a 4142TR Cable supplied with the 4300 Transformer), as shown in Figure 5. These particular wires can be 24-gauge or larger, and can be run along with the AC and ground wires to the control panel.

Keypads That May Be Used

Up to 4 keypads may be used in the system, independent of auxiliary power considerations (you may need to use an auxiliary power supply if the 600mA aux. output is exceeded).

The following keypad models may be used:

•Fixed-Word Display: 6128, 6128RF

•Alpha Display: 6139.

Be sure the keypads are set to the non-addressable mode (address 31).

Wiring to the Keypads

To wire keypads to the control, perform the following steps:

1.Determine wire gauge by referring to the Wiring Run Chart below.

For devices (keypads, RF receivers, zone expander, etc.) connected to a single 4-wire run, determine the current drawn by all units connected to the single wire run, then refer to the Wiring Run Chart below to determine the maximum wire length that can be safely used for each wire size. Current draw for all devices can be found in Section 25: Specifications & Accessories.

NOTE: Refer to Table 1. AUXILIARY DEVICE CURRENT DRAW WORKSHEET in Section 12: Final Power-Up to obtain the current draw for all keypads.

Maximum wire lengths for any device that is home run to the control can also be determined from the Wiring Run Chart, based on the current draw of that device alone.

VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Installation and Setup Guide

The length of all wire runs must not exceed 1500 feet (457m) when unshielded quad conductor cable is used (750 feet if shielded cable is used). This restriction is due to the capacitive effect on the data lines when quad cable is used.

2.Run field wiring from the control to the keypads (using standard 4-conductor twisted wire cable of the wire gauge determined in step 1).

3.Connect remote keypads to terminals 4, 5, 6, and 7 on the control board, as shown in

Figure 6.

Mounting the Keypads

To mount the keypads, perform the following steps:

1.Make sure the addressable keypad(s) are set to non-addressable mode (address 31), which is the factory default setting. Refer to the instructions provided with the keypad for address setting procedure.

2.Mount the keypads at a height that is convenient for the user. Refer to the instructions provided with the keypad for mounting procedure.

You can either surface mount or flush mount keypads (using an appropriate Trim Ring Kit: 6139TRK). Refer to the mounting instructions and template included with the keypad and/or trim ring kit for specific information.

Supplementary Power for Additional Keypads

The VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN control provides 600mA for powering keypads (up to 4) and other devices from the auxiliary power output. The backup battery supplies power to these keypads in the event that AC power is lost.

When the control’s auxiliary power load for all devices exceeds 600mA, you can power additional keypads from a regulated 12VDC power supply (e.g., 487-12 supplies 12V, 250mA; 488-12 supplies 12V, 500mA). Use a UL Listed, battery-backed supply for UL installations.

The 487-12/488-12 power supplies have a backup battery that can power these keypads in the event of AC power loss to the main supply.

Keypads powered from supplies that do not have a backup battery will not function when AC power is lost. Therefore, be sure to power at least one keypad from the control's auxiliary power output.

Connect the additional keypads as shown in Figure 7, using the keypad wire colors shown. Be sure to observe the current ratings for the power supply used.

Preliminary Checkout Procedure

To verify that the system is working before connecting field wiring from zones and devices, do the following:

1.Temporarily connect a 2000-ohm end-of-line resistor across each of the basic hardwired zones 1–6, as shown in the VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Summary of Connections diagram.

Without actual zone wiring or EOL resistors connected, the keypads will not display the READY message.

2.Power up the system temporarily by plugging the AC transformer (previously wired to the control) into a 120VAC outlet.

Busy – Standby (on alpha keypads) or dI (on fixed-word keypads) is displayed.

3.Wait approximately 1 minute. At that time, the green READY LED (or POWER LED on some types of keypads) should light, and the word READY (on fixed-word keypads), or DISARMED...READY TO ARM (on alpha keypads) should be displayed.

To bypass the 1-minute delay, press [#] plus [0].

If the READY display does not appear on any of the keypads in the system, or a NOT READY message is displayed, check the keypad wiring connections, and make sure each of the 6 basic hardwired zones has a 2000 ohm resistor connected across its terminals.

When READY is displayed on the keypad(s), the system is functioning properly.

Do not remove the EOL resistors until you are ready to make connections to the hardwired zones, to allow for testing later in the manual.

If an OC or OPEN-CIRCUIT message is displayed on the keypad, data from the control is not reaching the keypad. Check the wiring.

Installing the Hardwired Zones

Common Characteristics of Zones 1–6

•EOLR-supervised zones support both open-circuit and closed-circuit devices.

•Support as many 4-wire smoke detectors as can be powered from Aux Power on the control (zones 2–6).

•Programmable for 10, 350, or 700mSec response.

•350mSec (default) should be used for most standard contacts. For vibration-type contacts, 10mSec is more suitable.

Wiring Burglary and Panic Devices to Zones 1–6

To wire burglary and panic devices to zones 1-6, perform the following steps, referring to

Figure 22. VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Summary of Connections at the back of this manual.

1.Connect sensors/contacts to the hardwired zone terminals (8 through 17).

2.Connect closed-circuit devices in series in the high (+) side loop. The EOL resistor must be connected in series with the devices, following the last device.

3.Connect open-circuit devices in parallel across the loop. The 2000-ohm EOLR must be connected across the loop wires at the last device.

If the EOLR is not at the end of the loop, the zone will not be properly supervised, and the system may not respond to an open-circuit on the zone.

High-Resistance/Short Supervision on Hardwired Zones 2–6

Provides automatic high loop resistance detection (possibly caused by corroding contacts at perimeter sensor points) on hardwired zones 2–6, and displays a CHECK message for the affected zone when the system is in the disarmed state.

This panel also contains a Hardwire Short Detection circuit, and when enabled in 30, detects a short in any wired zone and sends a sensor Trouble message to the Central Station when the system is in the disarmed state. At the same time a CHECK message is displayed on the keypad.

Either condition (high resistance or short) detected on any zone, prevents the system from being armed until the offending condition is cleared. Conversely, when the system is armed, and these conditions occur, an alarm is generated.

VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Installation and Setup Guide

Wiring 2-Wire Smoke Detectors to Zone 1

1.Connect 2-wire smoke detectors across zone 1 terminals 8 (+) and 9 (–). Observe proper polarity when connecting the detectors.

2.If an EOL resistor is presently connected across zone 1 terminals, remove it. The EOL resistor must be connected across the loop wires at the last detector.

In UL installations, only zone 1 may be used as a fire zone. In addition, an ADEMCO Model 610–7 UL must be used as the end-of-line resistor at the last detector.

The alarm current provided by zone 1 supports only one smoke detector in the alarmed state.

Verifying Smoke Detector Operation

The control panel “verifies” any alarm by resetting the smoke detectors after the first alarm trigger, and then waiting 90 seconds for a second alarm trigger. If the smoke detector or thermostat does not trigger again, the control disregards the first trigger, and no alarm signal occurs. This feature eliminates false alarms due to electrical or physical transients.

Turning Off Fire Alarm Sounding

You can turn off fire alarm sounding by pressing the OFF key on any keypad or other arming/disarming device. To clear the “memory of alarm” and to reset the detector’s alarm, enter the security code plus OFF again.

VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Installation and Setup Guide

Programming Hardwired Zones

Each zone must be programmed into the system using the 56 Zone Programming Mode or58 Expert Programming Mode, which assigns characteristics that define the way the system responds to faults on that zone. Refer to Section 14: Zone Response Type Definitions and Section 16: Zone Programming for specific instructions on programming hardwired zones.

Checkout Procedure for Hardwired Zones

After complete installation and programming of all hardwired devices, check the security system as follows:

1.Make certain that all devices and sensors connected to the hardwired zones are not in a faulted state. Doors and windows with contacts should be closed, PIRs should be covered (use a cloth to mask them temporarily, if necessary).

2.Plug in the AC transformer if you have not already done so.

With all hardwired zones intact, the alpha keypad connected to the system should display:

DISARMED

READY TO ARM.

3. If the following is displayed,

DISARMED–Press

to show faults

press [ ] to display the faulted zone(s). Restore any faulted zone(s) as necessary (also make sure that you have connected a 2000 ohm EOL resistor across the terminals of unused zones).

When the DISARMED...READY TO ARM message is displayed, you can proceed to the next step.

4.Fault and then restore every contact or sensor on each zone individually to ensure that it is being monitored by the system. Each time a zone is faulted, the keypad should display the number of the faulted zone. When each zone is restored, the READY TO ARM message should appear again.

You need to observe the keypad as each zone is faulted and restored.

When you get the proper displays on the keypad(s), the hardwired zones in the system are functioning properly.

5. Unplug the AC transformer.

Installing Zone Expansion Units

You can add 8 wired EOLR zones to the basic control's 6 zones, for a total of 14 wired zones, by using a 4219 Wired Expansion Unit or 4229 Wired Expansion/Relay Unit.

Location	• You can mount an expansion unit within the control cabinet if space
	permits. Otherwise, mount the unit outside the cabinet.
Supervision	• Units are supervised against removal. Keypads display CHECK and
	ZONE 09 if a zone expander is disconnected.
	• Units have tamper protection for security when mounted outside of
	the cabinet.

Zone Information • Assign zone numbers 10–17 for the eight wired expansion loops (designated A to H in Figure 10 and Figure 11). You can program these zones individually (in 56 Zone Programming Mode or 58 Expert Programming Mode). Expansion zones must also be programmed as input type 2 (AW) when prompted.

Section 5 - Wired Zone Expansion

Programming Wired Expansion Zones

Each zone must be programmed into the system using the 56 Zone Programming Mode or58 Expert Programming Mode, which assigns characteristics that define the way the system responds to faults on that zone. Refer to Section 14: Zone Response Type Definitions and Section 16: Zone Programming for specific instructions on programming wired expansion zones.

Checkout Procedure for Wired Expansion Zones

Whenever it becomes necessary to disconnect power in order to add a module or keypad, always disconnect the battery first, then the AC transformer. After installation has been completed, connect the AC transformer first, then the battery.

After you have completed installation and programming of all devices, check all expansion zones in the security system as follows:

1.Make certain that all devices and sensors connected to the wired expansion zones are not in a faulted state. Doors and windows with contacts should be closed, PIRs should be covered (use a cloth to mask them temporarily, if necessary).

2.Plug in the AC transformer. With all zones intact (including hardwired zones), the alpha keypad connected to the system should display:

DISARMED

READY TO ARM.

3. If the following is displayed,

DISARMED–Press

to show faults

press [ ] to display the faulted zone(s). Restore any faulted zone(s) as necessary (also make sure that you have connected a 1000 ohm EOL resistor across the terminals of unused expansion zones on the 4219 or 4229 Module).

When the READY TO ARM message is displayed, you can proceed to the next step.

4.Fault and restore every contact or sensor in each expansion zone individually to ensure that it is being monitored by the system. Each time a zone is faulted, the keypad should display the number of the faulted zone. When each zone is restored, the READY TO ARM message should appear again.

You need to observe the keypad in each zone, as each zone is faulted and restored.

When the proper displays appear on the keypad(s), the wired expansion zones in the system are functioning properly.

5.Unplug the AC transformer.

A CHECK 09 message on the display signifies one of two problems:

∙Data from the control is not reaching the zone expander module. Check the wiring and DIP switch settings.

or

∙The tamper jumper is on in the Expansion Module and the Expansion Module cover is off.
