LEDs or printer.
At least one 2-line alpha keypad (6139/6160) must be connected to the system for programming (if you are using
keypad programming), and must remain connected to the system in order to allow the primary user to program
additional user codes into the system at a later time.
This system provides the ability to arm and disarm up to 2 different areas, as if each had its own control. These areas
are called partitions. A Partitioned system allows the user to disarm certain areas while leaving other areas armed, or
to limit access to certain areas to specific individuals. Each system user can be assigned to operate any or all partitions,
and can be given a different authority level in each.
Before anything can be assigned to those partitions, you must first determine how many partitions (1-2) are required.
Following are some facts you need to know about partitioning.
Keypads
Each keypad must be given a unique "address" and be assigned to one partition.
Zones
Each zone must be assigned to one partition. The zones assigned to a partition will be displayed on that partition’s
keypad(s).
Users
Each user may be given access to one or more partitions. If a user is to operate more than one partition and would like
to arm/disarm all or some of those partitions with a single command, the user must be enabled for Global Arming for
those partitions (when entering user codes).
A user with access to more than one partition (multiple access) can "log on" to one partition from another partition’s
keypad, provided that program field 2*18: Enable GOTO is enabled for each partition he/she wants to log on to from
another.
Setting-Up a Partitioned System
The basic steps to setting up a partitioned system are described below. If you need more information on how to program
the options, see SECTION 4: Programming.
1. Determine how many partitions the system will consist of (programmed in field 2*00).
2. Assign keypads to partitions (Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode).
3. Assign zones to partitions (Zone Programming in the #93 Menu Mode).
4. Confirm zones are displayed at the keypad(s) assigned to those partitions.
5. Assign users to partitions.
6. Enable the GOTO feature (program field 2*18) for each partition a multiple-access user can log on to (alpha keypad
only).
7. Program partition-specific fields (see the Data Field Descriptions section).

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
This section describes the procedures for mounting and wiring the control panel and all the peripheral devices.
Mounting the Control Cabinet
To mount the control cabinet, perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Before mounting the circuit board, remove the metal knockouts for the wiring entry that you will be using.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE KNOCKOUTS AFTER THE CIRCUIT BOARD HAS BEEN
INSTALLED.
2 Using fasteners or anchors (not supplied), mount the control cabinet to a sturdy wall in a clean, dry area
that is not readily accessible to the general public. The back of the cabinet has 4 holes for this purpose.
To provide certificated burglary service for UL installations, refer to the special requirements and Figure 3-2
U
Cabinet Attack Resistance Considerations to follow. For UL Commercial Burglary installations that require
L
ATTACK RESISTANCE, use the cabinet included in the VISTA-ULKT kit.
Installing the Cabinet Lock
1. Remove cabinet door, then remove the lock
knockout from the door. Insert the key into the
lock.
2. Position the lock in the hole, making certain
that the latch will make contact with the latch
bracket when the door is closed.
3. When correctly positioned, push the lock until
it is held securely by its snap tabs.
Use Part Number K4445 Lock (supplied).
Grade A Mercantile Premises Listing Guidelines
• The panel door must be supervised. Mount the
clip-on tamper switch (supplied) to the cabinet’s
right side wall as shown in the diagram below, and
wire it to one of the hardwire zones.
• Use a bell with a tamper-protected housing such as
the AB12. The bell housing’s tamper switch and
inner tamper linings must also be wired to the
hardwire zone.
• Assign the tampers’ hardwire zone to a burglary
partition. Program the hardwire zone for day
trouble/night alarm (zone type 5) when only one
burglary partition is used. Program it for 24-hr.

• All wiring that is not run in conduit must exit from
the knockout openings on the bottom or back of the
cabinet.
• All unused knockouts must be plugged using the
disc plugs and carriage bolts (supplied), as
indicated in the diagram below.
• Fasten the cabinet door to the cabinet backbox
using the 18 one-inch-long Phillips-head screws
(supplied) after all wiring, programming, and
checkout procedures have been completed.

VISTA-40 Installation and Setup Guide
(Shows typical local Grade A listing installation)
Grade A Mercantile Safe and Vault Listing Guidelines
• Follow the guidelines given above for Grade A
Mercantile Premises listing.
• Mount a shock sensor such as Sentrol No. 5402 to
the control’s backbox. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for proper sensor mounting. This
sensor also must be wired to a hardwire zone.
• For safe and vault applications, a UL Listed
contact must be used inside the cabinet through
one of the knockouts for pry-off tamper purposes.
This sensor also must be wired to a hardwire zone.
Installing the Control’s Circuit Board
To install the circuit board in the cabinet, perform the
following steps:
Step Action
1
Hang the three mounting clips on the raised
cabinet tabs. Refer to Figure 3-3 (Detail B).
Make sure the clip orientation is exactly as
shown in the diagram to avoid damage. This
will also avoid problems with insertion and
removal of the PC board.
2
Insert the top of the circuit board into the slots
at the top of the cabinet. Make certain that the
board rests in the slots as indicated (Detail A).
3
Swing the base of the board into the mounting
clips and secure the board to the cabinet with
the accompanying screws.
Notes:
• Make certain that the mounting screws are tight.
This ensures that there is a good ground connection
between the PC board and the cabinet.
• Dress field wiring away from the microprocessor
(center) section of the PC board. Use the loops on
the left and right sidewalls of the cabinet for
anchoring field wiring using tie wraps (Detail C).
These steps are important to minimize the risk of
panel RF interference with television reception.

Installing the Keypads
Section 3 - Installing the Control
• Up to 31 addressable keypads (addresses 00-30)
may be used (you may need to use an auxiliary
power supply if the 750mA aux. output is
exceeded). The following keypads may be used:
• 2-line alpha display, 6139/6160
• The length of all wire runs combined,
regardless of the wire gauge, must not
exceed 2000 feet when unshielded quad
conductor cable is used (1000 feet if
unshielded cable is run in conduit, which
acts a shield, or if shielded cable is used).
• If more than one keypad is wired to one run,
then the above maximum lengths must be
divided by the number of keypads on the run
(e.g., the maximum length is 225 feet if two
keypads are wired on a #22 gauge run).
To wire the keypads, perform the following steps:
Step Action
1
Determine wire gauge by referring to the
Wire Run Length/Gauge table below.
Wire Run Length/Gauge Table
Wire Gauge Length
#22 gauge 450 feet
#20 gauge 700 feet
#18 gauge 1100 feet
#16 gauge 1750 feet
2 Wire keypads to a single wire run or connect
individual keypads to separate wire runs.
The maximum wire run length from the
control to a keypad, which is homerun back
to the control must not exceed the lengths
listed in the table.
3 Run field wiring from the control to the
keypads (using standard 4-conductor cable
of the wire gauge determined in step 1).
4 Connect the keypad(s) to terminals 6, 7, 8,
and 9 on the control board, as shown in
Figure 3-4.
Addressing the Keypads
The keypads will not operate until they are
physically addressed and enabled in the
system’s Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode.
Set each keypad for an individual address (00-15)
according to the keypad’s instructions. Set an alpha
keypad for address 00 and other keypads for higher
addresses. Any keypads set for address 02 and above
will appear blank until they are enabled in the system’s
program. Each keypad must be set for a different
address.
• Do not set any keypads to address 31
(nonaddressable mode). They will interfere
with other keypads (as well as other devices)
connected to the keypad terminals.
• If an “OC” or “OPEN CIRCUIT” message is
present on a keypad, data from the control is
not reaching the keypad. Please check your
wiring.
Supplementary Power Supply for Additional Keypads
When the control’s auxiliary power load for all devices
exceeds 750mA, you can power additional keypads from
a regulated 12VDC power supply (e.g., AD12612
(1.2A)). Use a UL Listed, battery-backed supply for UL
installations.
Connect the additional keypads as shown in Figure 3-5,
using the keypad wire colors shown. Be sure to observe
the current ratings for the power supply used.
• Make connections directly to the screw
terminals as shown in Figure 3-5. Make no
connection to the keypad blue wire (if
present).
• Be sure to connect the negative (–) terminal
on the power supply unit to terminal 7 (–) on
the control.

UL1023 Household Burglary Installations
For Household Burglary installations, the total current
drawn from the alarm output must not exceed 1.7A. A
battery must be installed, as the battery supplies
current from the combined auxiliary power, polling
loop, and alarm output in excess of 750mA.
UL985 Household Fire or Combination Household
Fire/Burglary Installations
For installations that must provide UL Listed
protection, the total combined current drawn from the
alarm output, auxiliary power output, and polling loop
must not exceed 750mA in order to comply with the
battery independence requirements. If, for example,
two System Sensor PA400 piezo alarm sounders, wired
in parallel, are used (24mA total), then 726mA (750mA
– 24mA) is available for auxiliary output and polling
loop use.
Non-UL Installations
For non-UL installations, the total current drawn from
this output can be up to 1.7 amps. A battery must be
installed, as the battery supplies current in excess of
750mA. Up to two 719 sirens can be used wired in
parallel.
U
L
for a timeout of 16 minutes or longer.
• For Household Fire and combination
Household Fire/Burglary installations, the
total current drawn from the auxiliary power,
polling loop, and alarm output combined
must not exceed 750mA.
• For Household Burglary installations, the
total current drawn from the alarm output
must not exceed 1.7A. A battery must be
installed, as it supplies the current for the
combined auxiliary power, polling loop, and
alarm output in excess of 750mA.
This control complies with National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) requirements for
temporal pulse sounding of fire notification
appliances.
Alarm Output Supervision
When supervision is enabled, the VISTA-40 monitors
the alarm output wiring for open and short circuit
faults while the output is inactive. The system provides
a trouble indication (Zone 70) when an open occurs; or
when a short occurs between the Bell (+) and Bell (-)
terminal wiring, or between the Bell (+) terminal wiring
and earth ground.
The VISTA-40 indicates the trouble condition
regardless of whether the system is armed or disarmed.
The zone displays on the keypads, reports to the event
log, and transmits to the central station (if
programmed) on Partition 1. The Contact ID event code
is 321, Bell Trouble. The trouble is cleared from the
display by entering the user code + OFF.
Wiring the Alarm Output
The wiring of the alarm output depends upon whether
you are going to supervise the output or not. Use the

• The alarm current provided by zone 8
supports only one glassbreak detector in
the alarmed state.
• Do not use other N.O. or N.C. contacts
when using glassbreak detectors on zone
8. Other contacts may prevent proper
glassbreak detector operation.
To wire 2-wire latching glassbreak detectors to zone 8,
perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Select compatible 2-wire glassbreak
detectors that meet the requirements stated
previously.
2 Connect detectors across zone 8 (terminals
21 and 22). See Figure 3-15.
3 Connect the EOL resistor at the last detector
in the loop across the zone’s terminals. You
must connect the EOL resistor across
the loop wires at the last detector.
Installing RPM Devices
The polling loop provides both power and data to the
RPM devices, and is constantly monitoring the status of
all zones enabled on the loop. The maximum current
draw of all devices on the polling loop cannot total more
than 64mA (unless the system uses a 4297 Polling Loop
Extender Module).
Devices that can be programmed via either DIP
switches or the built-in unique serial number
must be set for the serial number mode
operation.
All devices on the polling loop must be wired in parallel
to the [+] and [-] polling loop terminals of the control
panel (24 and 25). You can wire from device to device,
or have multiple branches connected directly to the
control panel in a star configuration.

• The 4194 is not UL Listed.
• The 4297 must be powered from the control
panel’s Auxiliary Power Output or from a UL
Listed supplementary power supply.
• The 7500 and 9500 detectors are not UL Listed.
• For new polling loop installations, always use
twisted pair wiring. In many cases, existing
non-twisted pair wiring may be used, but it is
more susceptible to interference from other
sources, and may be problematic in installations
with long wire runs or in high noise
environments.
• Always locate polling loop wiring at least six
inches (15cm) of AC power, telephone, or
intercom wiring. The polling loop carries data
between the control panel and the devices;
interference on this loop can cause an
interruption of communication. The polling loop
can also cause outgoing interference on the
intercom or phone lines. If this spacing cannot
be achieved, shielded wire must be used. (Note
that the maximum total wire length supported is
cut in half when shielded wire is used.)
• No more than 64mA may be drawn on any
individual wire run.
• When a star configuration is used, the total
length of all wire runs combined cannot exceed
4000 ft (2000 ft. if you are using unshielded wire
in conduit or shielded wire).
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the installation exceeds or deviates
from these parameters, refer to the application note on the
Honeywell website for additional information. To access
the application note:
1. Go to the honeywell.com/security website
2. Click the Honeywell Security & Custom Electronics link.
3. Click the Commercial link.
4. Click the Documentation link.
5. Click the V-Plex Application Note.
To install polling loop devices, perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Select devices from the list of compatible
devices shown previously.
2 Set the DIP switches in the device (if
required). Refer to the device’s instructions
for the DIP Switch Tables.
3 Mount each device in the desired location.
Refer to the device’s instructions.

#20 gauge 950 feet
#18 gauge 1500 feet
#16 gauge 2400 feet
5 Wire each device to the polling loop, making
sure of the correct polarity (refer to the
device’s instructions).
NOTE: If you are using serial number
devices, and intend to enroll each device
through the keypad automatically, wire no
more than 25 of these devices to the
control at a time. Then power up and
program them before connecting the next 25.

every 45 seconds. The receiver supervisory zone is
89 and 91 for receivers 2 and 1, respectively.
NOTE: These zones must be programmed with a
response type (e.g., type 05 Day/Night Trouble)
before they supervise the connection to the receiver.
Section 3 - Installing the Control
• Use two identical receivers to provide either a
greater area of coverage or redundant protection.
They must be set for different addresses.
• Any zone from 1 to 64 can be used as a 5800 Series
wireless zone, with the exception of zone 64
(reserved for a wireless keypad).
RF System Installation Advisories
• Place the receiver in a high, centrally located area.
Do not place it on or near metal objects. This will
decrease the range and/or block transmissions.
• Install the RF receiver at least 10 feet from the
control panel or any keypads, to avoid interference
from the microprocessors in these units.
• If dual receivers are used:
a. They must be at least 10 feet from each other,
as well as from the control panel and remote
keypads.
b. Each receiver must be set to a different device
address. The receiver set to the lower address
is considered the 1
purposes.
c. The House IDs must be the same.
d. Using two receivers does not increase the
number of transmitters the system can support
(63 zones using the 5881H, plus a wireless
keypad).
Installation and Setup of the 5881 RF Receivers
Take note of the address you select for the RF
receiver, as this address must be enabled in
the system’s Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode.

Installing the 5800TM Module
Installation of this module is necessary only if you are
using a 5827BD or 5804BD Bi-directional device.
The address for the 5800TM must be enabled
in the control’s Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode as a keypad and then assigned to
a partition.
To install the 5800TM, perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Mount the unit using its accompanying
mounting bracket near the RF receiver.
The 5800TM must not be installed within
the control cabinet. It must be between
one and two feet from the receiver’s
antennas.
2 Set the module for the appropriate address.
For Address Setting 28 cut the red jumper;
for Address 29 cut the white jumper; for
Address 30 cut both jumpers.
3 Connect the module’s wire harness to the
keypad terminals (6, 7, 8, and 9). Plug the
connector at the other end of the harness into
the module.
House ID Sniffer Mode
This mode applies only if you are using a wireless
keypad (e.g., 5827) or bi-directional devices (e.g.,
5804BD). Use the House ID Sniffer mode to make sure
you do not choose a House ID that is in use in a nearby
system. The House ID must be programmed for the
receiver in Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode.
To enter House ID Sniffer mode, enter your Installer
Code + [#] + [2].
The receiver now “sniffs” out any House IDs in the area
and displays them. Keep the receiver in this mode for
about 2 hours. Use a House ID that is not displayed.
Exit the Sniffer mode by entering your Installer Code + OFF.
As Sniffer mode effectively disables RF point
reception, Sniffer mode cannot be entered
while any partition is armed.
5800 Series Transmitter Setup
5800 Series transmitters have the following
characteristics:
• Transmitters have built-in serial numbers that
must be enrolled in the system using the #93 Menu Mode Programming, or input to the control via the
downloader.
• Transmitters do not have DIP switches (except
5827, described separately).
• Some transmitters, such as the 5816 and 5817, can
support more than one “zone” (referred to as loops
or inputs). Each loop must be assigned a different
zone number.
• For button-type transmitters (wireless keys), such
as the 5804 and 5804BD, you must assign a unique
zone number to each individual button used on the
transmitter.
Transmitter Input Types
All transmitters have one or more unique factoryassigned input (loop) codes. Transmitters can be
programmed as one of the following types:
Type Description
RF
(Supervised
RF)
UR
(Unsupervised
RF)
BR
(Unsupervised
Button RF)
Sends periodic check-in signals, as well as
fault, restore, and low-battery signals. The
transmitter must remain within the receiver’s
range.
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.
These send only fault signals. They do not
send low-battery signals until they are
activated. The transmitter may be carried offpremises.
Transmitter Supervision
Supervised RF transmitters send a check-in signal to
the receiver at 70–90 minute intervals. If at least one
check-in is not received from each supervised
transmitter within a programmed period (field 1∗31),
the “missing” transmitter number(s) and “CHECK” or
“TRBL” are displayed. Unsupervised RF transmitters
(5802MN, 5804) may be carried off the premises.
Some transmitters have built-in tamper protection, and
annunciate a “CHECK” condition if covers are removed.
If a loss of supervision occurs on a transmitter
a Fire Trouble (373), not Loss of Supervision
(381), to the central station.

Transmitter Battery Life
Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last from 4
to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and
the specific wireless device being used. 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.
The wireless system can identify a true low battery
situation, thus allowing the dealer or user of the system
time to arrange a change of battery and maintain
protection for that point within the system.

end of their life, the complete unit must be replaced
(and a new serial number enrolled at the control).
Button-type transmitters (e.g., 5801, 5802, 5802CP and
5803) should be periodically tested, as these
transmitters do not send supervisory check-in signals.
To test the transmitters using the Transmitter

Installing Relay Devices
The VISTA-40 support up to 8 relays. Each device must
be programmed as to how to act (ACTION), when to
activate (START), and when to deactivate (STOP). The
4204 and/or X-10 devices may be used as relay devices.
Installing the 4204 Relay Modules
Each 4204 module provides 4 relays with Form C
(normally open and normally closed) contacts.
The relay module will not operate until the
device address you have set the DIP switches
for is enabled in the control’s Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode.
To install the relay modules, see Figures 3-21 and 3-22
and perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Set the 4204 or 4204CF’s DIP switches for a
device address 01-15.
Do not use an address being used by another
device (keypads, RF receivers, etc.).
2 Mount the 4204 and 4204CF Modules per the
instructions provided with them.
3
Connect the module’s wire harness to the
control (6, 7, 8, and 9). Plug the connector
(other end of harness) to the module.
If you are mounting remotely, homerun each
module to the control. The table below shows
the maximum wire run lengths. Refer to the
instructions provided with the 4204CF for its
maximum permissible wire lengths.

Installing X10 Devices
X-10 devices are either plugged into standard AC
outlets or wired into the AC electrical system by a
licensed electrician, depending on the type of device
used.
Note each device’s House and Unit Code
setup, as these codes will be used to program
the devices in Output Programming in #93
Menu Mode described in the Programming
Guide.
Figure 3-22: 4204CF Relay Module
X-10 devices require the use of a 1361X10 transformer
in place of the regular 1361 transformer.
X-10 devices respond to “on” and “off” commands sent
from the panel through the 1361X10 transformer.
To connect the 1361X10 transformer, see Connecting the Transformer, later in this section.
Installing the Ground Start Module
U
Output 1 may be used to trigger an optional 675
Ground Start Module for installations having telephone
lines that require ground start instead of loop start
operation to obtain a dial tone from the telco central
office.
When the panel has a message to transmit to the
central station, it seizes the line, goes off hook, and then
triggers the 675 Module to connect the RING side of the
telephone line to earth ground. The panel causes the
module to break the connection between RING and
earth ground when it obtains a dial tone.
The Ground Start Module is not intended for
L
use in UL Listed applications.
To install the 675 Ground Start Module, perform the
following steps:
Step Action
1 Determine which side of the telephone line
is the RING side by connecting the (+) lead
of a DC voltmeter to earth ground, and the
(-) lead to one side of the telephone line.
The wire that reads + 50VDC is the
RING side.
2 Connect the 675 Ground Start Module to
the panel’s J7 connector trigger output 1, to
auxiliary power, and to the RING side of
the telephone line as shown in Figure 3-23.

Installing a Remote Keyswitch
A UL-Listed remote keyswitch, such as the 4146, can be
used for remote arming/disarming of the burglary
portion of the system and for silencing alarms. The
keyswitch can operate in only one particular partition.
The keyswitch is wired across zone 7. This zone is no
longer available as a protection zone. Be sure to
program Zone 7 with a response type (e.g., type 10).
Operation
• A momentary short across zone 7 arms the
partition in the AWAY mode, and a short held for
more than 3 seconds arms the partition in STAY
mode. A subsequent short disarms the partition.
• The keyswitch LEDs indicate the partition’s status
(see table below).
• A momentary short across Zone 7 silences alarm
bell and keypad sounds, and disarms the system if
it was armed. A subsequent short across Zone 7
clears the alarm memory indication and resets 2wire smoke and glassbreak detectors (if used).

Keyswitch Tamper Operation
The tamper switch need not be used for fire or UL
Household Burglary installations. For UL Commercial
Burglary installations, the tamper switch must be
wired to a zone (zone 6 in Figure 3-24).
Program that zone for Day Trouble/Night Alarm
(response type 5). When the keyswitch is removed from
the wall, the tamper switch opens, causing an alarm or
trouble on the zone. This also causes the control to
disable keyswitch operation until the tamper is restored
and the associated partition is disarmed.
Wiring for the Remote Keyswitch
To install the 4146 keyswitch, perform the following
steps:
Step Action
1 Connect the 4146 to the panel as shown in
Figure 3-24.

built-in sounder. The panel will remote all sounds (e.g.,
alarm, trouble, chime, entry/exit, etc.) produced by the
keypad’s built-in sounder except for the short beeps
associated with keypad key depression. One application
of this feature might be to produce chime sounds at a
distant location from the panel’s keypads.

Installing the 4285/4286 VIP Module
The 4285/4286 VIP Module is an add-on accessory that
permits the user to access the security system (and
relays) via a TouchTone telephone. This may be done
either from the premises or by calling the premises from
a remote location. Only one VIP Module can be used in
a security system. This module must be enabled as
Device Address 4 in the Device Programming in #93 Menu Mode, and must be assigned to a partition.
U
The 4285/4286 is wired between the control panel and
the premises’ handset(s) (see Figure 3-27). It listens for
TouchTones on the phone line and reports them to the
control panel. During on-premises phone access, it
powers the premises phones. During off-premises phone
access, it seizes the line from the premises phones and
any answering machines.
The 4285/4286 VIP Module is not permitted in
L
UL installations.
Detailed operating instructions for phone access
to the security system are provided with the VIP
Module.
The 4285/4286 VIP Module features:
• Allows the user to receive synthesized voice
messages over the phone regarding the status of
the security system.
• Allows the user to arm and disarm the security
system and perform most other commands using
the telephone keypad.
• Allows the user to control relays using the
telephone keypad.
• Provides voice annunciation over the phone to
confirm any command that is entered.
• Announces many of the same words that would
normally be displayed on an alpha keypad under
the same system conditions. Refer to the words in
bold on the Alpha Vocabulary list found in the #93 Menu Mode in the Programming Guide.
• Can be supervised for connection to control panel
(annunciated and reported as Zone 804).
• The VIP module will not operate until the
device address (04) is enabled in the control’s Device Programming in #93 Menu Mode.
• Do not mount the VIP Module on the cabinet
door or attempt to attach it to the PC board.
3-20
Section 3 - Installing the Control
To install the VIP module, perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Mount the module in the control cabinet if
space is available or, if this is not possible, on
the side of the cabinet or adjacent to it.
If you mount the VIP Module inside the
control cabinet, attach it to the cabinet’s
interior surface with 2-faced adhesive tape.
You may leave the module’s cover off if it is
mounted within the cabinet.
If you mount the module outside the
cabinet, use the screw holes at the rear to
mount horizontally or vertically (2-faced
adhesive tape may be used, if preferred).
2 Affix the 4285/4286 connections label
(supplied separately) to the inside of the VIP
Module’s cover, if the cover is used.
Otherwise, affix the label to the inside of the
control cabinet’s door.
3 Make 12V (+) and (–) and data-in and data-
out connections from the VIP Module to the
control, using the connector cable supplied
with the VIP Module. These are the same
connections as for remote keypads.

Installing the Audio Alarm Verification Module
U
Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) is not permitted
L
in UL installations.
• 685 Receiver software must be rev. 4.6 or
higher. Earlier versions will not hold the
phone line connection.
• Contact ID code for “Listen-in to Follow” is
606. Contact ID is the only reporting format
that will send a “Listen-in to Follow.”
• If you are also using a 4285/4286 VIP
Module, be sure to follow Figure 3-30 when
making connections.
The UVS consists of a UVCM and at least one UVST.
The UVCM board has a DC power jack and a 34position terminal block for making connections to a DC
power source, UVSTs, telephone lines, music source, or
to the 4286 VIP Module; and to a control panel’s voice
trigger and bell outputs (if required). Refer Figure 3-28
for wiring connections. For a detailed explanation of
the wiring connections and the functions of the DC
power jack and terminal block positions, refer to the
installation instructions that accompany the UVS.
If the phone plug is disconnected from the
control, the premise’s phones will not operate.
NOTES:
• When the AAV indicates that the audio alarm
verification session is completed, all keypad sounds
are restored. Sirens are restored if the alarm
timeout period has not expired.
• As part of its fail-safe software, the control limits
all audio alarm verification sessions to 15 minutes.
This is because once the session begins, the AAV
Module controls the duration.
• If a new Fire alarm should occur during a session,
the control breaks the phone connection and sends
the new Fire Alarm report, then re-triggers the
AAV Mode. All other dialer messages triggered
during ongoing conversation are held until either
the AAV Module signals that it is inactive, or the
15-minute timeout occurs.

Panel Earth Ground Connections
Section 3 - Installing the Control
In order for the lightning transient protective devices in
• AC Power Outlet Ground: Available from 3-
this product to be effective, the designated earth ground
terminal (terminal 30) must be terminated in a good
earth ground. Recommended wire gauge for the ground
connection is #16 AWG, run no farther than 30 feet.
The following are examples of good earth grounds
available at most installations:
• Metal Cold Water Pipe: Use a noncorrosive metal
strap (copper is recommended) firmly secured to the
pipe to which the ground lead is electrically
connected and secured.
Determining the Control’s Power Supply Load
Use the tables that follow to calculate the total current
for the Auxiliary Power, the Alarm Output, and the
Polling Loop. In each table, multiply each device’s
standby and/or alarm current by the number of units
used.
1. In Table 1, enter devices used on the polling loop.
Calculate total current draw on the polling loop.

Determining the Size of the Standby Battery
The cabinet supplied with the control panel can house
batteries of up to 12V, 14AH (two 12V, 7AH batteries
wired in parallel). The VISTA-ULKT kit provides a
cabinet that can house batteries of up to 12V, 17.2AH
and that may be used with this panel. The total
standby current drawn from the auxiliary power and
polling loop outputs combined must be limited to
270mA when 14AH batteries are used; and to 390mA
when 17.2AH batteries are used.
DO NOT use Gates batteries (sealed lead-acid
type). These batteries require a different
charging voltage than is supplied by the panel.
U
Household Fire or Combination
L
Household/Fire/Burglary installations require
the use of a backup battery that is capable of
providing 24 hours of standby time followed by
4 minutes of alarm time. UL1023 Household
Burglary-only installations require the use of a
backup battery that is capable of providing 4
hours of standby time followed by 4 minutes of

Communication Defaults for Zones
ZONE # 1st 2nd ZONE # 1st 2nd ZONE # 1st 2nd ZONE # 1st 2nd
Each zone must be assigned a zone type, which defines
the way in which the system responds to faults in that
zone. There are three keypad-activated zones (panic
keys; see note) for each partition, a polling loop
supervision zone, and four RF supervisory zones, two
for each RF receiver installed. Zone types are defined
below.
Type 00: Zone Not Used
Program with this zone type if the zone is not used.
Type 01: Entry/Exit #1 Burglary
Provides entry delay whenever the zone is faulted and
the system is armed in the AWAY or STAY mode. When
the panel is armed in the INSTANT or MAXIMUM
mode, no entry delay is provided. Exit delay begins
whenever the control is armed, regardless of the arming
mode selected. These delays are programmable.
Assign this zone type to zones that are used for primary
entry to and exit from the facility.
Type 02: Entry/Exit #2 Burglary
Provides a secondary entry delay, if the system is
armed in the AWAY or STAY modes and the zone is
faulted. When the panel is armed in the INSTANT or
MAXIMUM mode, no entry delay is provided.
Secondary exit delay begins whenever the control is
armed, regardless of the arming mode selected. These
delays are programmable.
Assign this zone type to zones that are used for entry
and exit of the facility and require more time than the
primary entry and exit point. Delay times for this zone
type must be greater than those for zone type 01 (e.g., a
garage, loading dock, or basement door).
Type 03: Perimeter Burglary
Provides an instant alarm if the zone is faulted and the
system is armed in the AWAY, STAY, INSTANT, or
MAXIMUM mode.
Assign this zone type to all exterior door and window
zones.
Type 04: Interior, Follower
Provides a delayed alarm (using the programmed entry
delay time) if an entry/exit zone is faulted first.
Otherwise it produces an instant alarm. It is active
when the system is armed in the AWAY or MAXIMUM
mode, but the MAXIMUM mode eliminates the entry
delay.
Zones programmed for Interior Follower zone are
automatically bypassed when the panel is armed in the
STAY or INSTANT mode.
Assign this zone type to a zone covering an area such as
a foyer, lobby, or hallway through which one must pass
upon entry or exit (to and from the keypad).
Type 05: Trouble by Day/Alarm by Night
Provides an instant alarm if the zone is faulted and the
system is armed in the AWAY, STAY, INSTANT, or
MAXIMUM mode. During the disarmed state (day), the
system annunciates a latched trouble sounding from
the keypad (and a central station report, if desired).
Assign this zone type to a zone that contains a foilprotected door or window (such as in a store), or to a
zone covering a sensitive area such as a stock room or
drug supply room. It can also be used on a zone in an
area where immediate notification of an entry is
desired.
4-5
VISTA-40 Installation and Setup Guide
Type 06: 24-Hour Silent Alarm
Sends a report to the central station but provides no
keypad display or sounding. Assign this zone type to a
zone containing an Emergency button.
Type 07: 24-Hour Audible Alarm
Sends a report to the central station and provides an
alarm sound at the keypad and an audible external
alarm. Assign this zone type to a zone containing an
Emergency button.
Type 08: 24-Hour Auxiliary Alarm
Sends a report to central station and provides an alarm
sound at the keypad only. (No bell output is provided.) Assign this zone type to a zone an
Emergency button or one containing monitoring devices
such as water sensors or temperature sensors.
Type 09: Supervised Fire (Without Verification)
Provides a fire alarm on a short circuit and a trouble
condition on open circuit. A fire alarm produces a
pulsing of the bell output. A zone of this type is always
active and cannot be bypassed.
Type 10: Interior with Delay
Provides entry and exit delays (using the programmed
entry and exit delay times) when armed in the AWAY
mode. Provides only exit delay when armed in the
MAXIMUM mode (no entry delay). Delay begins
whenever sensors in this zone are violated, regardless of
whether or not an entry/exit delay zone was tripped
first.
Zones programmed for Interior with Delay are
automatically bypassed when the panel is armed in the
STAY or INSTANT mode.
Assign this zone type to a zone covering an area such as
a foyer, lobby, or hallway through which one must pass
upon entry or exit (to and from the keypad).
Type 20: Arm-STAY (5800 Series devices only)
Causes the system to arm in the STAY mode when the
zone is activated.
Type 21: Arm-AWAY (5800 Series devices only)
Causes the system to arm in the AWAY mode when the
zone is activated.
Type 22: Disarm (5800 Series devices only)
Causes the system to disarm when the zone is
activated.
Type 23: No Alarm Response
Used on a zone when an output relay action is desired,
but with no accompanying alarm (e.g., for access door).
NOTE FOR PANIC KEYS: Keypad panic zones share the same
zone response type for both partitions, but panics may be
individually enabled for each partition.
IMPORTANT! FAULT ANNUNCIATION
Polling loop and RF troubles (zones 88, 89, 90, 91, and 97) report
as trouble conditions only, and as such, should be assigned zone
type 05 if annunciation is desired. See Polling Loop Supervision
and RF System Operation and Supervision in SECTION 3 Installing the Control for more information.
Zone Input Type Definitions
Each zone must be assigned an input type, which
defines the where the system will “look” for status of the
zone (RF receiver, polling loop, etc.). Zone input types
are defined below.
Type 01 Hardwired (HW)
Reserved for the built-in hardwired zones 1-9.
Type 03 Supervised RF (RF)
Select for 5800 Series RF transmitters that will be
supervised for check-in signals. The transmitter must
remain within the receiver’s range.
Type 04 Unsupervised RF (UR)

SECTION 6
Downloading Primer
(Remote Downloading is not a UL Listed feature)
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
General Information
Downloading allows the operator to remotely access,
program, and control the security system over normal
telephone lines. Anything that can be done directly
from the keypad can be done remotely, using the
COMPASS downloading software. To communicate
with the control panel, the following is required:
1. IBM PC-compatible 486 33MHz PC or better with
30 MB of available hard disk space and at least
8MB of RAM (12MB is preferred). Windows 3.X,
Windows 95, 98, or Windows NT.
2. One of the following modems:
• ADEMCO CIA
• Hayes Smartmodem 1200 (external: level 1.2 or
higher; internal: level 1.1 or higher)
• Hayes Optima 24 + Fax 96 external
• Hayes Optima 336
• BizComp Intellimodem 1200 w/volume
• BizComp Intellimodem 2400
Other brands are not compatible, even if claimed to
be 100% compatible.
3. COMPASS DOWNLOADING software available on
CD ROM with a complete User’s Manual. It may
also be downloaded from the Honeywell web page.
The web address is www.honeywell.com/security.
Internal modems must have a 4-position DIP
switch. Modems with a 6-position DIP switch
will not work.
Access Security
The following four levels of protection guard the control
against compromise while it is being accessed from a
remote location:
1. Security code handshake: The subscriber’s account
number as well as an 8-digit ID number (known
only to the office) must be matched between the
control and computer.
2. Hang-up and callback: The control panel “hangs
up” and calls the computer back at the preprogrammed number only if the security codes
match.
3. Data encryption: All data that is exchanged
between the computer and control is encrypted to
reduce the possibility of anyone “tapping” the line
and corrupting data.
4. Operator access levels: Operators may be assigned
various levels of access to the downloader, each
having its own log-on code. The access levels allow
the operators read/write capabilities of the
customers’ account information. For a detailed
explanation of the access levels, see the
downloading software User Manual.
NOTES:
• Each time the control panel is accessed
successfully, a Callback Requested report is sent to
the central station, if Opening reports are
programmed.
• When the system is downloading, the keypad
displays “MODEM COMM.”
• After each download or save, an automatic time
stamp is done, to indicate the last download (or
save) and the operator ID number.
• A complete hard copy of each individual account
can be obtained by connecting a printer to the
computer. Refer to your computer Owner’s Manual
or contact your dealer for printer recommendations.

VISTA-40 Installation and Setup Guide
Getting On-Line with a Control Panel
At the protected premises, the control panel must be
connected to the existing telephone line (refer to
SECTION 3: Installing the Control). No programming
of the panel is required before downloading to an initial
installation unless you are performing an unattended
download.
When establishing a connection between the computer
and the control panel, the following occurs:
Stage What Happens
1 The computer calls up the control panel.
(The phone number for each customer must
be entered into the customer’s account file
on the computer.)
2 The control panel answers the phone call at
the pre-programmed ring count and executes
a handshake with the computer.
3 The computer sends a request for callback to
the control, unless callback is not required.
4 The panel acknowledges the request and
hangs up. During the next few seconds, the
control processes the request, making sure
certain encrypted information received from
the computer matches its own memory.
5 Upon a successful match, the control panel
seizes the phone line and calls the computer
back, unless callback is not required. (The
phone number to which the computer’s
modem is connected must be programmed
into the control field ✳35.)
6 The computer answers, usually by the
second ring, and executes a handshake with
the panel.
7 The panel then sends other default
information to the computer. If this
information matches the computer’s
information, a successful link is established.
The system is now “on-line” with the
computer.
Alarms and Trouble responses and reports are
disabled during actual uploading or
downloading sessions.
To download a control without programming any
information, perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Enter the Installer Code + [#] + [5]. The
panel temporarily enables a ring count of 5
and sets the Download Callback option to “1”
(callback not required).
2 From the computer, call the panel using the
downloader software set to “First
Communication” Mode.
The downloader establishes a session with no
callback. The panel information can then be
downloaded.
On-Line Control Functions
The following functions can be performed while on-line
with a control panel (see field *37):
• Arm the system in the AWAY Mode; disarm the
system
• Bypass a zone
• Force the system to accept a new program
download
• Shut down communication (dialer) functions (for
nonpayment of monitoring fees in an owned
system)
• Shut down all security system functions (for
nonpayment for a leased system)
• Inhibit local keypad programming (prevents
takeover of your accounts)
• Leave a message for customer
NOTE: Messages sent to the control panel from the
downloader will be viewable at ALL partitions.
• Command the system to upload a copy of its
resident program to the office
• Read: arming status, AC power status, list of
faulted zones, list of bypassed zones, 100 event log,
list of zones currently in alarm, list of zones
currently in trouble, and ECP equipment list
• Set the real-time clock
6-2
Direct-Wire Downloading
Section 24 - Downloading Primer
The VISTA-40 can be downloaded without using a
modem or telephone line by using a 4100SM Serial
Module and Compass Downloading Software. The
direct-wire downloading connection is to be temporary,
and is not part of the permanent installation. Directwire downloading is meant as a tool for the installer
during the installation process.
The connections between the control and the
4100SM are different than those shown in the
4100SM Installation Instructions. See Figure 6-1 for the correct connections. In addition, in
place of the green wire, referred to in step 2 of
the “IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY” section of the
4100SM Instructions, use the violet wire
instead.
Connector J8 on the main PC board (see the Summary
of Connections diagram on the inside back cover of this
manual) is intended to be interfaced to either a local
serial printer (see SECTION 3:Installing the Control) or
a computer. Make connections to a computer as shown
below. Note that the violet wire connection for a
computer differs from that used when connecting
a serial printer.
Figure 6-1: Direct-Wire Downloading Connections
Telco Handoff
Telco handoff is another method of getting on-line with the downloader. The installer or customer enters the User Code
+ [#] + [1], while on the phone line with the computer’s modem phone line. The customer will get cut-off and the panel
and download computer will establish a connection.

SECTION 8
User Access Codes
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
General Information
The VISTA-40 allows a total of 70 security access codes
to be allocated. Each security access code is identified
by a user ID number. A maximum of 69 user codes may
be assigned to any one of the partitions. The installer
code is automatically assigned to both partitions
regardless of whether both partitions are used.
The Quick Arm feature can also be programmed
(partition-specific program field *29). The Quick Arm
feature allows the user to arm the system by pressing
the [#] key instead of the security code. The security
code must always be entered to disarm the system.
User Codes & Levels of Authority
Each user of the system can be assigned a level of
authority, which authorizes the user for certain system
functions. A user can have different levels of authority
within different partitions
Level 0: Installer (User 1) Code
• Programmed in field *00 (default = 4-1-4-0).
Installer Open/Close reporting selected in field *39.
• Can perform all system functions (arm, disarm,
bypass, etc.), but cannot disarm if armed by
another code (or by Quick Arm).
• Can add, delete, or change all other codes, and can
select Open/Close reports for any user.
• Is the only code that can be used to enter program
mode. The Installer Code can be prevented from reentering the Program Mode by exiting using ∗98.
• Must program at least one Master Code during
initial installation. Master Codes are codes
intended for use by the primary user(s) of the
system.
Level 1: Master Codes
• Can perform all normal system functions.
• Can be used to assign up to 68 lower-level codes,
which can be used by other users of the system.
• Cannot assign anybody a level of 0 or 1.
• May change his own code.
• Can add, delete, or change Manager or Operator
Codes. Each user’s code can be individually
eliminated or changed at any time.
• Open/Close reporting is automatically the same as
that of the Master who is adding the new user.
User code number 2 must be programmed in
order for the Quick Arm feature to function.
Open/Close reporting for Quick Arm is enabled if
User 2 is enabled for Open/Close and reports as
User 0.
Use the “View Capabilities” keypad function (User
Code + [✳] + [✳]) to view the partitions and authority
levels for which a particular user is authorized. These
levels are described below.
Level 2: Manager Codes
• Can perform all system functions (arm, disarm,
bypass, etc.) programmed by Master.
• May add, delete, or change other users of the
system below this level (Manager cannot assign
anybody a level of 0, 1, or 2).
• May change his own code.
• Open/Close reporting is automatically the same as
that of the Manager who is adding the new user.
Levels 3-5: Operator Codes
• Can operate a partition, but cannot add or modify
any user code (see table below).
LevelTitleFunctions Permitted
3 Operator A Arm, Disarm, Bypass
4 Operator B Arm, Disarm
5 Operator C Arm, Disarm only if armed with
same code
• Operator C (sometimes known as the Babysitter
Code) cannot disarm the system unless the system
was armed with that code. This code is usually
assigned to persons who may need to arm and
disarm the system at specific times only (e.g., a
babysitter needs to control the system only when
babysitting).
8-1
VISTA-40 Installation and Setup Guide
code for zone 92 (duress) must be programmed,
Level 6: Duress Codes
• Sends a silent alarm to a central monitoring station
if the user is being forced to disarm (or arm) the
system under threat (system must be connected to
a central station).
• When the system’s Auxiliary Voltage Triggers are
connected to another communication’s media
(Derived Channel/Long Range Radio), note that
duress is signaled on the same trigger that signals
silent panic (whereas duress has its own unique
report when digitally communicated).
• Assigned on a partition-by-partition basis, and can
be any code or codes desired.
General Rules on Authority Levels and Changes
The following rules apply to users when making modifications
within the system based on the user code authority levels:
• Master Codes and all lower-level codes can be used
interchangeably when performing system functions within a
partition (a system armed with a user’s temporary code can
be disarmed with the Master Code or another user’s
temporary code), except the Operator Level C Code
described above.
• A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME
or HIGHER authority than that which he is assigned.
• A user (levels 0, 1 and 2 only) may only ADD users to a
LOWER authority level.
• A user may assign other users access to only those
partitions to which he himself has access.
• A user code can be DELETED or CHANGED only from
within the partition it was created in.
• User numbers must be entered in 2-digits. Single-digit user
numbers must, therefore, always be preceded by a “0” (e.g.,
03, 04, 05, etc.). Make sure the end user understands this
requirement. Temporary codes are entered as 4-digit
numbers.
Duress Reporting Note: A non-zero report
and partition-specific field *85 duress location
enabled, to enable Duress reporting.
• The Duress report-triggering logic activates on the
5th key depression (such as OFF), not the 4th key
depression (last digit of code). Duress reports are
not triggered if the 5th key is a [*], such as when
you perform a GOTO or view the capabilities of a
user.
Open/Close Reporting Note: When a user is added,
the system prompts for Open/Close reporting capability
only if the installer is adding the new user. When a
Master or Manager adds a new user, the new user’s
Open/Close reporting is the same as that of the Master
or Manager who is adding the user. If Open/Close
reports are required to be selectable by the Master or
Manager, the Installer should assign two Master or
Manager user codes: one with Open/Close reporting
enabled, and one without.
Note that Open/Close reporting of Quick Arm is enabled
if User 02 is enabled for Open/Close reporting, and that
Quick Arm reports as User 00. In order for Quick Arm
reports to be sent for all partitions, User 02 must have
authority and Open/Close must be enabled for all
partitions. If a code with access to all partitions is not
desired, it is suggested that user 02 be assigned
authority level 5 in all partitions, and that the code be
kept secret. Authority level 5 cannot disarm the system
unless armed by that user.
ADEMCO Contact ID format is capable of
reporting Users 01-70 uniquely. If any other
report format is used, only user numbers 01 –
15 can uniquely report to the central station.
Users 16 – 70 will report as User 15.
Multiple Partition Access
Each user is programmed for a primary (home)
partition. A user can also be given access to operate one
or both partitions. Within each partition, each user
may be programmed to have different levels of
authority. For example, User 03, the VP of
Engineering, could be assigned to work within the
Engineering Department (Partition 1) of ABC
Manufacturing. Because he needs the full capabilities
in his area, he is assigned as a MASTER with Level 1
authority.
He must also be able to gain access to the
manufacturing area (Partition 2) on an emergency
basis. You can set this up easily by requesting that he
also be assigned to Partition 2, with a level of authority
set lower, such as Level 4 (OPERATOR Level B).
8-2
The control automatically assigns him the same user
number within Partition 2.
EXAMPLE OF MULTIPLE PARTITION ACCESS
Part 1 Part 2
User 3 User 3
Level 1 Level 4
Master Oper B
In the above example, User 3 has MASTER authority in
Partition 1 and OPERATOR B authority in Partition 2.
His user number is the same for both partitions.

SECTION 9
Testing the System
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Battery Test
When AC power is present, the VISTA-40 runs a brief
battery test every 4 hours to determine if there is a
battery connected.
If the VISTA-40 finds that the battery voltage is low
(less than approximately 11.5V), it initiates a keypad
“SYSTEM LOBAT” display and a rapid keypad beeping
sound.
Dialer Test
The VISTA-40 may be programmed to automatically
transmit test reports to a central station at intervals
ranging from once per hour to once per 199 hours (field
✳27).
Burglary Walk-Test (Code + [5] TEST)
This test causes the system to sound keypad beeps in
response to faults on zones for the purpose of allowing
proper zone operation to be checked without triggering
alarms. This test can be activated by any-level user by
entering the corresponding security code and pressing
TEST while the burglary portion of the system is
disarmed. UL requires that this test be conducted on a
weekly basis.
When this test is first entered, the system activates the
alarm output for 3 seconds. The system sends a test
message to the central station. The keypad displays
“Test in Progress” and sounds a single beep every 15
seconds while the test remains active.
It also sends a Low Battery report to the central station
(if programmed). The keypad is cleared by entering any
security code + OFF, and a Restore report is sent to the
central station if the situation has been corrected.
UL requires the test report to be transmitted at least
once every 24 hours. The system can be programmed to
send the first report at any time of the day, or on any
day of the week (field ✳83).
Open and close each protected door and window in turn.
Each action should produce 3 beeps from the keypad.
Walk in front of any motion detectors. Listen for three
beeps when the detector senses movement.
The keypad displays the zone number and alpha
descriptor while a door or window remains open or
while a detector remains activated. The system
automatically issues a Zone 8 Glassbreak Detector
Power Reset about 10 seconds after it finds a fault on
this zone, to allow faulted detectors to be reset.
To end this test, enter any security code and press OFF.
Armed Burglary System Test
Alarm messages are sent to the central station
during the armed system tests. Notify the
central station that a test will be in progress.
A display of “COMM. FAILURE” indicates a
failure to communicate (no kissoff by the
receiver at the central station after the maximum
number of transmission attempts is tried). If this
occurs, verify that the phone line is connected,
the correct report format is programmed, etc.
To perform an armed burglary test, proceed as follows:
Step Action
1 Notify the central station that a test of the
system is being performed.
2 Arm the system.
3 Fault one or more zones.
4 Silence alarm sounder(s) each time by
entering the code and pressing OFF.
NOTE: The system must be rearmed after
each code + off sequence.
5 Check that entry/exit delay zones provide the
assigned delay times.
9-1
VISTA-40 Installation and Setup Guide
Step Action
6 Check the keypad-initiated alarms, if
programmed, by pressing the panic key pairs
(✳ and #, 1 and ✳, and/or 3 and #).
The word ALARM and a descriptor “99” are
displayed for ✳ and #. If [1] and [✳] are
pressed, “95” is displayed; if [3] and [#] are
pressed, “96” is displayed.
7 If the system has been programmed for
audible emergency, the keypad emits a loud,
steady alarm sound. Silence the alarm by
entering the security code and pressing OFF.
If the system has been programmed for silent
panic, there are no audible alarms or
displays. A report is sent to the central
station, however.
8 Notify the central station that all tests are
finished, and verify results with them.
Testing Wireless Transmitters
Transmitter ID Sniffer Mode
Use the Transmitter Sniffer Mode to test that
transmitters have all been properly programmed.
If a transmitter does not have its serial number
“enrolled,” it will not turn off its zone number.
To enter the Transmitter ID Sniffer Mode, proceed as
follows:
Step Action
1 Enter Installer Code + [#] + [3]. The
keypad displays all zone numbers of wireless
units programmed into the system.
2 Fault each wireless zone, causing each device
to transmit.
As the system receives a signal from each of
the transmitters, the zone number of that
transmitter disappears from the display.
3 Enter Installer Code + OFF to exit the
Sniffer Mode.
Go/No Go Test Mode
Checking the transmitters in this mode assists in
determining good mounting locations, and verifies that
the RF transmission has sufficient signal amplitude
margin for the installed system.
To enter the Go/No Go Test Mode, proceed as follows:
Step Action
1 Enter Installer Code + [5].
2 Fault each wireless transmitter, causing each
device to transmit.
NOTE: If a single receiver is used, the
keypad beeps three times to indicate signal
reception. If two receivers are used, the
keypad beeps once if the first receiver
received the signal, twice if the second
receiver received the signal, and three times
if both receivers heard the signal.
3 If the keypad does not beep, reorient or move
the transmitter to another location. Usually
a few inches in either direction is all that is
required.
4 Enter Installer Code + OFF to exit the
Go/No Go Test Mode.
• All partitions containing wireless
transmitters must be placed in the test
mode for sensitivity reduction of the RF
receiver (50% sensitivity). Otherwise, the
RF receiver remains at full strength.
• Make sure that all partitions are disarmed
when performing this test, as the wireless
receiver gain is reduced in half.

WARNING!
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
While this System is an advanced wireless 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 acti-
vate 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 20 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.
