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.

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 would include any skylights that may be present, and the 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).

The battery will disconnect from the system after its voltage decreases below 9VDC.
This assists the control panel in recharging the battery when AC is restored.
IMPORTANT: The panel will not power up initially on battery power only. You must
plug the transformer in first, and then connect the battery.
• This product has been designed and laboratory-tested to ensure its resistance to
damage from generally expected levels of lightning and electrical discharge, and does
not normally require an earth ground.
• If an earth ground is desired for additional protection in areas of severe electrical
activity, terminal 25 on the control board, or the cabinet, may be used as the ground
connection point. The following are examples of good earth grounds available at most
installations.
Metal Cold Water Pipe: Use a non-corrosive metal strap (copper is recommended) firmly
secured to the pipe to which the ground lead is electrically connected and secured.
AC Power Outlet Ground: Available from 3-prong, 120VAC power outlets only. To test

Supplementary Power
(optional)
U
Use a UL Listed,
L
battery-backed supply for
UL installations. The battery
supplies power to these
keypads in case of AC
power loss.
The battery-backed power
supply should have enough
power to supply the
keypads with the UL
required minimum standby
power time.
Use supplementary power if the
control’s aux. power load for all
devices exceeds 600mA (suggested
power supply: AD12612). Connect
as shown in Figure 6. Be sure to
connect the negative (–) terminal
on the power supply unit to
terminal 4 (AUX –) on the control.
IMPORTANT: Keypads
powered from supplies that do
not have a backup battery will
not function if AC power is lost.
Make sure to power at least one
keypad in each partition from
the control’s auxiliary power
output.

Programming for details on enabling keypad addresses, assigning keypad partitions
and selecting keypad sounding options.
IMPORTANT: Each keypad must be assigned a unique, predefined address, from 16 to
23. The first keypad is address 16 (default = partition 1, all sounds enabled).
TOUCH SCREEN KEYPAD (AUI) NOTES:
•••• Use of AUI devices (e.g., 6270, Symphony) is independent from standard keypads and
does not affect the number of standard keypads the system can support.
•••• AUI devices must be set for address 1, 2, 5**, or 6** depending on which unit is
enabled in field *189. ** VISTA-20P series
•••• To ensure proper AUI device operation, use AUI devices with the following rev levels:
6270 series use version 1.0.9 or higher; 8132/8142 (Symphony) series use version
1.1.175 or higher.
Communication Device
(Long Range Radio)
Connections
Connect the data in/data out terminals and voltage input terminals of the
communication device to the control's keypad connection points.
Set the device’s address to “03” following the instructions provided with the device.
• Use a compatible communication device (e.g., 7845GSM, 7845i-GSM).

* Includes Keypads, RF Receivers, Zone Expander/Relay Units, 4286 Phone Module, and Communication Device.
Maximum wire lengths for any device that is homerun to the control can also be determined from the Wiring Run Chart, based on the
current draw of that device alone
The length of all wire runs for both partitions combined 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.

Normally Open Zones/ N.O. EOLR Zones
1. Connect open circuit devices in parallel across the loop; for EOLR zones, connect the
EOLR across the loop wires at the last device.
2. Enable normally open/EOLR zones using Zone Programming mode, “Hardwire Type”
prompt.
Normally Closed Zones/ N.C. EOLR Zones
1. Connect closed circuit devices in series in the high (+) side of the loop; for EOLR
zones, connect the EOLR in series following the last device.
2. Enable normally closed/EOLR zones using Zone Programming mode, “Hardwire
Type” prompt.

End of Line Resistor (EOLR) Notes
• If the EOLR is not at the end of the loop, the zone is not properly supervised and the
system may not respond to an “open” on the zone.
• Zone 1 is intended for EOLR only.
U
For UL commercial burglar alarm installations, use EOLR zones.
L
Connect as shown below (resistor provided
for one device).
IMPORTANT: Double-balanced zones
provide zone tamper protection, and should
be used as burglary zones only.
Do not use double-balanced zones as fire
zones.
This feature provides two hardwired
normally closed zones for each standard
hardwired zone connected to the control’s
terminals (but does not increase the total
number of zones supported by the control). If
enabled (Zone Programming mode,
“Hardwire Type” prompt, option “3”),
hardwire zones are automatically paired as
shown in the table. Connect as shown
(resistors provided).
•••• Do not use zone doubling for fire
zones.
NOTE: A short across the EOL (i.e., at
terminal) on either zone of a zone-doubled
pair or on a double-balanced zone causes a
tamper condition (displayed as CHECK plus
zone numbers).
1. Connect up to 16 (10, if “clean me” option used) 2-wire smoke detectors across zone 1
terminals 8 (+) and 9 (-) as shown in the Summary of Connections diagram at the
back this manual. Observe proper polarity when connecting the detectors.
2. Connect an EOL resistor across the loop wires at the last detector.
3.
Connect 4-wire smoke detectors (up to 16, depending on detector current draw) to
any zone from 2-8 as shown in Figure 7 (on next page).
Power Reset: This control does not automatically reset power to 4-wire smoke
detector zones, so you must use a relay (e.g., 4204, 4229), or on-board trigger to reset
5806-001-V0
power (also required for fire verification). Do this by programming the designated
relay/trigger as zone type 54 (fire zone reset); see On-Board Trigger section for
other information.
NOTE: Maximum current on trigger 17 is 100mA.
