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).

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.

* 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.

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.

Mounting and Wiring the Control
•••• Fire Verification (zone type 16): The control panel will “verify” a fire alarm by
resetting the smoke detectors after the first alarm trigger, and then waiting up to 90
seconds for a second alarm trigger. If the smoke detector or thermostat does not trigger
again, the control will disregard the first trigger, and no alarm signal will occur. This
feature eliminates false alarms due to electrical or physical transients.
SIA Installations: If using fire verification on zones other than zone 1, UL Fire Alarm
Listed relay accessories must be used to reset power as described in the Power Reset
paragraph above.
• The zone 1 alarm current supports only one smoke detector in the alarmed state.
•••• Clean Me Option: If enabled (field *174 = 1; *56 zone programming, response time
prompt = 3), certain ESL smoke detectors send “clean me” reports as appropriate. If
used, the maximum number of detectors is reduced to 10 (not standard 16). Refer to the
ESL documentation included with the smoke detector for information regarding
compatibility with the clean-me option.
• Do not use 4-wire smoke detectors on zone 1.

Mounting and Wiring the Control
• Use this module only if you are using one or more wireless bi-directional keypads or
keyfobs with a wireless Receiver; 5800TM is not necessary if using a Transceiver (e.g.,
5883).
• The 5800TM must be set to address 28 (cut red-W1 jumper).
• The 5800TM can be used in partition 1 only.
• For additional information regarding the 5800TM, refer to the 5800TM’s instructions.
1. Mount the 5800TM next to the RF receiver (between one and two feet from the
receiver’s antennas) using its accompanying mounting bracket. Do not install within
the control cabinet.
2. Connect the 5800TM to the control panel’s keypad connection terminals as shown on
the Summary of Connections diagram and set to address 28.
• Refer to the table of compatible devices at the back of this manual.
• Supervised transmitters† send check-in signals to the receiver at 70-90 minute
intervals. If at least one check-in message is not received from each transmitter within
a 12-hour period, the “missing” transmitter number(s) and “CHECK” is displayed. (†
Hand-held transmitters, e.g., 5802, 5802CP, 5804, 5804BD, 5827, 5827BD, do not send
check-in signals.)
• To be sure reception of the transmitter's signal at the proposed mounting location is
adequate, perform a Go/No Go Test, described in the Testing the System section.
• Install transmitters in accordance with the instructions provided with each.
• Set 5827, 5827BD, 5804BD wireless keypads to the programmed House ID (field *24),
using its DIP switches (5827) or follow the instructions provided with the device.
• Use *56 or *58 Zone Programming Menu modes to program zone information and enroll
transmitters (VISTA-20P: zones 9-48, buttons 49-64; VISTA-15P: zones 9-34, buttons
49-56).
•••• Wireless Keys: Use Wireless Key Programming Templates section of the *58 Zone
Programming Menu mode to program zone information and enroll each button of the
wireless keys used. Once a wireless key is enrolled, it must be assigned to a user before
it becomes active. See Adding/Deleting Security Codes section for procedure.
ULC NOTE: In accordance with ULC standards, the RF supervision period for the VISTA-20PCN
and VISTA-15PCN is three hours for Fire zones (Zone Type 9 and 16) and 12 hours for all other zone
types.

• Only one phone module can be used and it can only be connected to partition 1.
• The phone lines must be in service for the phone module to function, even when
accessing the system from an on-premises phone.
• If you are also using an Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) unit, refer to Audio Alarm
Verification (AAV) section for special wiring connections.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication
line cord for phone line connections.
If no touch tones are produced following access to the security system from on-premises
(this problem may arise in rare cases), it may be necessary to reverse the wires connected
to terminals 3 and 4 on the phone module and the wires connected to terminals (21) &
(22) on the control. The wiring diagram shows the wiring connections that will provide
proper operation in most cases.
Connection to the incoming telco line via a RJ31X jack and direct-connect cord, as shown,
is essential, even if the system is not connected to a central station. The 4286 will not
function if this is not done and an error signal (fast busy signal) will occur when trying to
access the system via the phone.
The house phone lines (gray and brown wires) must be wired to the phone module
terminals; not to the control terminals. Otherwise, an error signal (fast busy signal) will
occur when trying to access the system from an on-premises phone.

System Communication and Operation
Panel Communication with Central Station
This system accommodates several formats for reporting alarms and other system conditions to the Central
Station. The process of a successful transmission consists of both the method of communication between the
control panel and the Central Station receiver; and the actual way the information is sent and displayed at
the Central Station.
When the panel calls the Central Station receiver, it waits to hear a “handshake” frequency from the receiver
to confirm that the receiver is on-line and ready to receive its message. Once the panel hears the handshake
it is programmed to listen for, it sends its message. The panel then waits for a “kissoff” frequency from the
receiver acknowledging that the message was received and understood.
If the handshake frequency is not given or is not understood by the panel, the panel will not send its
message. Once the handshake frequency is received and understood by the panel, the panel sends its
message. If there is an error in the transmission (the receiver does not receive a “valid” message), the kissoff
frequency is not given by the Central Station receiver.
The panel makes a total of eight attempts to the primary telephone number and eight attempts to the
secondary telephone number (if programmed) to get a valid message through. If the panel is not successful
after its numerous attempts, the keypad displays COMM. FAILURE (on alpha keypads) or FC (on fixedword keypads).
Report Code Formats
The following chart indicates the types of (handshake/kissoff) frequencies that the panel supports and the
different formats that can be sent with each.

Testing the System
About Test Procedures
After the installation is complete, you should perform the following tests:
System Test: Checks that all zones have been installed properly and the system responds to faults.
Dialer Test: Checks that the phone connection to the central station is working properly.
Go/No Go Test: Checks that transmissions can be received from transmitters. Should be performed
before permanently mounting transmitters.
RF Sniffer Mode: Checks that RF transmitter serial numbers have been properly enrolled.
Battery Tests: Automatic battery tests are performed by the system.
System Test
NOTE: Test mode can be entered from any keypad. However, faulted zones appear only on those keypads
assigned to the partition to which the zone is assigned (i.e., partition 1 zones appear only on partition 1
keypads, etc.). To see another partition’s faulted zones, view a keypad assigned to that partition or use the
GOTO command (code +[∗] + partition number 0-3, where 0 is the keypad’s home partition).
With the system in the disarmed state, check that all zones are intact (not faulted). Doors and windows
with contacts should be closed, PIRs should be covered (use a cloth to mask them temporarily if necessary).
If a “NOT READY” message is displayed, press [∗] to display the faulted zone(s). Restore faulted zone(s) if
necessary, so that the “READY” message is displayed.
1. Enter Installer Code + 5 [
1=DIAL, 0=WALK (no special display on Fixed-Word keypads)
The following will be displayed on the initiating keypad and a Contact ID report will be sent (code 607):
TEST IN PROGRESS (“dd” displayed on Fixed-Word Display Keypads)
2. Upon entering the system test mode, the outside sounder should sound for 1 second.
If the backup battery is discharged or missing, the sounder may not turn on and a “LOW BATTERY”
report will be transmitted with a “TEST” report.
The keypad will beep about every 30 seconds as a reminder that the system is in the Test mode.
NOTE: Wireless motion detectors (Passive Infrared units) will send signals out only if they have been
inactive for 3 minutes (conserves battery life).
3. Test all sensors using the procedure described in the User’s Guide “Testing the System” section.
4. After checking sensors, turn off the test mode by entering installer code + OFF.
NOTE: Test mode automatically ends after 4 hours. During the final 5 minutes (after 3 hours 55
minutes of Test mode), the keypad emits a double-beep every 30 seconds to alert that the end of Test
mode is nearing.
Checking Transmitter Enrollment (Sniffer Mode)
Use this mode to verify that all transmitters have been properly programmed. Make sure both partitions
are disarmed before trying to enter this mode, since this is a system-wide command.
1. From a keypad in partition 1, press [Installer code] + [#] + 3.
NOTE: If the communicator is in the process of sending a report to the central station, the system will
The keypads in both partitions will display all zone numbers of wireless units (in both partitions)
programmed into the system. Fault each transmitter in turn, causing each one to send a signal. As the
system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone number of that transmitter disappears
from the display.
2. After all transmitters have been checked, exit the sniffer mode by keying [Installer code] + OFF.
IMPORTANT: Sniffer mode does not automatically expire. You must manually exit Sniffer mode (by
entering [Installer code] + OFF) to return to normal operation.

Installation and Setup Guide
NOTES: • All BR type units must physically be activated to clear the display.
• When one button of a transmitter (RF, UR, or BR) is activated, all zones assigned to other
buttons on that transmitter are cleared from the display. This also applies to 5816 and
5817 transmitters, which have multiple loops (zones).
• Any transmitter that is not “enrolled” will not turn off its zone number.
Go/No Go Test Mode
The Go/No Go Test verifies adequate RF signal strength from the proposed transmitter location, and allow
you to reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary, before mounting the transmitters permanently. This
mode is similar to the Transmitter Test mode, except that the wireless receiver gain is reduced. This will
enable you to make sure that the RF signal from each transmitter is received with sufficient signal
amplitude when the system is in the normal operating mode.
1. Enter [Installer code] + [#] + 4 from the partition being tested. For multi-partition systems, repeat this
test for each partition.
2. After you have placed transmitters in their desired locations and the approximate length of wire to be
run to sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw terminals (if used), fault each transmitter. Do not
conduct this test with your hand wrapped around the transmitter, as this will cause inaccurate results.
a. The keypad will beep three times to indicate signal reception and display the zone number.
b. If the keypad does not beep, you should reorient or move the transmitter to another location.
Usually a few inches in either direction is all that is required.
4. If each transmitter produces the proper keypad response when it is faulted, you can then permanently
mount each of the transmitters according to the instructions provided with them.
5. Exit the Go/No Go Test mode by entering: [any user code (partition-specific)] + OFF.
Dialer Communication Test and Periodic Test Reports
1. Enter Installer Code + 5 [TEST], then press “1” at the prompt to start the Dialer Test (checks phone line
integrity only; does not confirm report transmissions).
1=DIAL, 0=WALK (no special display on Fixed-Word keypads)
The following will be displayed (accompanied by 2 beeps) if test is successful:
PHONE OKAY (“Cd” displayed on Fixed-Word Display Keypads)
A Contact ID report will also be sent (code 601)
If the dialer test is unsuccessful, “COMM FAILURE” (or FC) is displayed.
2. Enter Installer code + OFF to clear the display and exit.
Automatic Periodic Test Report
The system can be set to automatically send test reports (enabled in field *64; Contact ID code 602) at
specified intervals. Frequency of the reports is set in Scheduling mode (event 11) or by the following key
commands:
installer code + [#] + 0 + 1 = test report sent once per week
installer code + [#] + 0 + 2 = test report sent every 28 days
Each mode sets schedule 32 (VISTA-20P) or schedule 08 (VISTA-15P) to the selected repeat option; the first
test report is sent 12 hours after command.
To ensure that test reports are sent at the times expected, set the Real-Time Clock to the proper time
before entering the test report schedule command.
Automatic Standby Battery Tests
1. An automatic test is conducted every 3 minutes to ensure that a standby battery is present and
2. A battery capacity test is automatically conducted for 2 minutes every 4 hours, beginning 4 hours after

SECTION 7
Limitations and Warranty
WARNING
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
While this System is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or
other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a
variety of reasons. For example:
• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor
or disconnect an alarm warning device.
• Intrusion detectors (e.g., passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work
without power. Battery-operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not
put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however
briefly.
• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if
the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the
path.
• A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
• While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not
activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System
may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may
not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other
side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor
detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Finally, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No
smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by
carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending on the nature of the fire
and/or location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning
to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.
• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their
installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple
beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot
detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or
windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of
the optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however,
as the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F (32° to 40°C), the
detection performance can decrease.
• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the
other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence from the
bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not
hear the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing
traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people.
• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service
or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.
• Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect
themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond
appropriately.
• This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to
last as long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance.
This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly. The security
keypad (and remote keypad) should be tested as well.
Wireless transmitters (used in some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions.
Longevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device
being used. External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all
reduce the actual battery life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low-battery
situation, thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system.
Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a substitute
for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and
continue to insure their lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved
ones to learn about these developments.
