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.

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).
• 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.

Mounting and Wiring the Control
Connect the 1321 Transformer (1321CN in
Canada) to terminals 1 and 2 on the
control board. See Wire Run Chart for
wire size to use.
•Use caution when wiring the
transformer to the control to guard
against blowing the transformer fuse
(the fuse is non-replaceable).
• Wiring to the AC transformer must not exceed 250 feet using 16 gauge wire. The
voltage reading between terminals 1 and 2 of the control must not fall below 16.5VAC
or an “AC LOSS” message will be displayed.
•Do not plug the transformer into the AC outlet until all wiring connections to the
control are complete. As a safety precaution, always power down the control when
making such connections.
1. Splice one end of a 3-conductor cable
to the wire ends of the SA4120XM-1
Cable.
2. Connect the SA4120XM-1 cable plug
to the 8-pin connector on the control
(see the Summary of Connections
diagram for location of the 8-pin
connector).
3. Connect the other end of the
3-conductor cable to the 1361X10
Transformer, as shown in Figure 4.
Canadian Installations: See
Powerline Carrier Device section for
1361X10-001-V0
connections to the PSC04 X-10 Interface
and trigger pins.
1. Place the 12-volt backup battery in the cabinet.
2. After all connections to the control are completed and AC power has been applied,
connect the red and black flying leads on the control board to the battery. Do not
attach these leads to the battery terminals until all connections are completed.

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

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 up to 2 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 either address 1 or address 2, depending on which unit is
enabled in field *189.
•••• To ensure proper AUI device operation, connect only to controls having microprocessor
version 3.0 or higher, and 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.
Long Range Radio
Connections
Connect the data in/data out terminals and voltage input terminals of the Long Range
Radio to the control's keypad connection points.
Set the radio’s address to “03” following the instructions provided with the radio.
• Use compatible Long Range Radios (e.g., 7720PLUS, 7820, 7835C, or 7845C).

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.

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.

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 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.

• When using these outputs, note:
pin 1 = output number 17 (trigger 1):
15 ohms to ground when closed (output low), open when off (output high, normal
default); can be used to reset smoke detector power (must set “output normal low
= yes” in *79 Menu mode, and set for zone type 54, fire zone reset, in *80 Menu
mode); or can support 12V relay module (
e.g., Altronix AX-RBS) that draws less
than 100mA
pin 5 = output number 18 (trigger 2):
100 ohms to ground when closed (output low); open when off (output high,
normal default); or can support 12V relay module that draws less than 20mA
U
If on-board triggers are used, the wiring between the control unit and the UL Listed device must

• 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 4285 or 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.

Programming Overview
About Programming
• You can program the system at any time, even at the installer's premises prior to the actual installation.
• Programming can also be performed remotely from the installer’s office/home, using an IBM personal
computer, a modem, and Compass downloading software.
The following is a list of the various Programming modes used to program this system.

Deleting an Entry
To program the system from a keypad:
• You must use a 2-line Alpha display keypad.
• Both partitions must be disarmed.
Program basic data fields used for setting the various system options.
Most of the data fields in this system have been programmed for specific default
values. However, some fields must be programmed for each particular installation to
establish its specific alarm and reporting features.
Assign zone characteristics, report codes, alpha descriptors, and serial numbers for
5800 RF transmitters. See *56 Zone Programming in Section 5. Menu Mode Programming for procedures for programming zones.
Program each of the four alphabet function keys to perform one of several system
operations.
Similar to ∗56 mode, but provides a faster programming procedure and is intended for
those more experienced in programming controls of this type.
Assign device addresses used by 4229 or 4204 Relay modules and map specific relays
and device outputs, and assign unit codes for Powerline Carrier devices.
See About Output Device Programming in Section 5. Menu Mode Programming for details on setting devices for manual/automatic operation.
Define up to 48 output definitions which can control the output relays mapped using
*79 Output Device Mapping mode.
Create Zone Lists for relay/powerline carrier zones, chime, night-stay, cross zones,
and pager zones.
Create alpha descriptors for easy zone identification.
Create schedules to automate various system functions.
A) Press both [∗] and [#] at the same time within 50 seconds after power is applied,
OR
B) After power-up, enter [Installer code (4-1-1-2)] + 8 0 0 (long beep indicates one of the
partitions is armed and system cannot enter program mode).
(method “B” is disabled if you exit Program mode using ∗98)
Press [∗] + [Field Number]. A display of “EE” or “Entry Error” means you have entered a
nonexistent field. Simply re-enter [∗] plus a valid field number.
When the desired field number appears, simply enter the digits required. The keypad
beeps three times after the last digit is entered and automatically displays the next data
field in sequence.
If entering less than the maximum digits available (e.g., phone number field), enter the
desired digits, then press [∗] to end the entry.
Press [#] + [Field Number]. The field’s data is displayed, but no changes can be made.
Press [∗] + [Field No.] + [∗] (applies only to phone number, account number, and pager
character fields).
Press [∗] + [Interactive Mode No.] (for example, ∗56) while in Program Mode. The Alpha
display keypad will display the first of a series of prompts.
After making the appropriate entry, press the [∗] key to accept the entry and continue to
the next prompt.
Loading Factory Defaults/Initializing for Download
To Load Default Entries
Press ∗97 while in Program Mode. This resets all data fields to the default values shown
on the Program Form. Use ∗97 only if you wish to return to the original factory-
programmed defaults.

Exiting the Programming Mode
Prevent installer code
reentry
Press ∗98. Exits Programming Mode and prevents re-entry by:
Installer Code + [8] + [0] + [0]. To enter the programming mode if ∗ 98 was used to exit,
you must first power the system down. Then power up again, and press [∗] and [#] at the
same time, within 50 seconds of powering up.
See field *88 for other Program mode lockout options.
Allow installer code
reentry
Press ∗99. Exits Programming Mode and allows re-entry by:
Installer Code + [ 8] + [0] + [0] or by: Pressing [∗] and [#] at the same time, within 50

Program a zone with this zone type if the zone is not used.
• Assign to zones that are used for primary entry and exit.
• Provides entry delay when zone is faulted if control is armed in the Away, Stay, or Night-Stay
modes.
• No entry delay provided when the panel is armed in the Instant/Maximum mode.
• Entry delay #1 is programmable for each partition (field *35).
• Exit delay begins whenever the control is armed, regardless of the arming mode selected, and
is programmable (field ✱34).
• Assign to zones that are used for entry and exit and require more time than the primary
entry/exit point.
• Provides a secondary entry delay, in same manner as entry delay #1.
• Entry delay #2 is programmable for each partition (field *36).
• Exit delay is same as described for Type 01.
• Assign to all sensors or contacts on exterior doors and windows.
• Provides an instant alarm if the zone is faulted when the panel is armed in the Away, Stay,
Night-Stay, Instant or Maximum modes.
• Assign to a zone covering an area such as a foyer, lobby, or hallway through which one must
pass upon entry (to and from the keypad).
• Provides a delayed alarm (using the programmed entry 1 time) if the entry/exit zone is faulted
first. Otherwise this zone type gives an instant alarm.
• Active when the panel is armed in the Away mode.
• Bypassed automatically when the panel is armed in the Stay or Instant modes;
if armed in Night-Stay mode, zones assigned to zone list 05 (night-stay zone list) are not
bypassed when system armed in Night-Stay mode.

Programming Overview
• Assign to a zone that contains a foil-protected door or window (such as in a store), or to a zone
covering a sensitive area such as a stock room, drug supply room, etc.
• Can also be used on a sensor or contact in an area where immediate notification of an entry is
desired.
• Provides an instant alarm if faulted when armed in the Away, Stay, Night-Stay, Instant or
Maximum (night) modes.
• During the disarmed state (day), the system will provide a latched trouble sounding from the
keypad (and a central station report, if desired).
• Usually assigned to a zone containing an emergency button.
• Sends a report to the central station but provides no keypad display or sounding.
• Assign to a zone that has an emergency button.
• Sends a report to the central station, and provides an alarm sound at the keypad, and an
audible external alarm.
• Assign to a zone containing an emergency button, or to a zone containing monitoring devices
such as water or temperature sensors.
• Sends a report to the central station and provides an alarm sound at the keypad. (No bell
output is provided.)
• Provides a fire alarm on short circuit and a trouble condition on open circuit. A fire alarm
produces a pulsing bell output.
• This zone type is always active and cannot be bypassed.
• Provides entry delay (using the programmed entry time), if tripped when the panel is armed in
the Away mode.
• Entry Delay 1 begins whenever sensors in this zone are violated, regardless of whether or not
an entry/exit delay zone was tripped first.
• Bypassed when the panel is armed in the Stay or Instant modes; if armed in Night-Stay mode,
zones assigned to zone list 05 (night-stay zone list) are not bypassed when system armed in
Night-Stay mode.
• Works as a dynamic monitor of a zone fault/trouble (not alarm). In the case of a short/open, the
message, "*ALARM*-24 Hr. Non-Burg. -#XXX " (where XXX is the zone number) will be sent
to the Central Station. The system keypad will display a “check” message indicating the
appropriate zone (but keypad beeping does not occur). Upon restoral of the zone, the message,
"*RESTORE*-24 Hr. Non-Burg. -#XXX " will be sent to the Central Station.
• The “check” message will automatically disappear from the keypad dynamically, when the
zone restores; a user code + off sequence is not needed to reset the zone.
• Faults of this zone type are independent of the system, and can exist at the time of arming
without interference.
• Since this is a “trouble” zone type, do not use this zone type with relays set to activate upon
“alarm.”
• Assigned to any zone with a carbon monoxide detector.
• The bell output will pulse when this zone type is alarmed.
• Always active and cannot be bypassed.
• Provides a fire alarm when zone is shorted, but only after alarm verified.
• System verifies alarm by resetting zones for 12 seconds after short is detected. A subsequent
short circuit within 90 seconds triggers fire alarm.
• Provides a trouble response when zone is open.
• Arms the system in Stay mode when the zone is activated.
• Pushbutton units send the user number to the central station when arming or disarming.
• User number for button must be assigned.
• Arms the system in Away mode when the zone is activated.
• Pushbutton units send the user number to the central station when arming or disarming.
• User number for button must be assigned.
• Disarms the system when the zone is activated.
• User number for button must be assigned.

* The system can still be armed when these zone types are in a faulted condition.
• Can be used on a zone when an output relay action is desired, but with no accompanying
alarm (e.g., lobby door access).
• Usually assigned to all sensors or contacts on exterior doors and windows where bells and/or
sirens are NOT desired.
• Provides an instant alarm, with NO audible indication at any keypad or external sounder, if
the zone is faulted when the system is armed in the Away, Stay, Instant, or Maximum modes.
• A report is sent to the central station.
• Assign to zone wired to a keyswitch.
• Do not use devices assigned as input type “BR” with this zone type.
• Assign to zone connected to AAV module.
• Monitors 2-way voice sessions as follows:
- When the zone is faulted, all alarm sounding and dialer reporting stops, except
for fire alarms, which immediately terminate the voice session and cause
a fire report to be sent.
- When the zone is restored (session ended), sounding resumes (if bell timeout
has not expired) and reports that were stopped are sent.
Allows for various custom responses. Options include response to entry/exit delays, response
opens/shorts, types of alarm/trouble sounding, dial delay, and unique Contact ID report codes.
Types 92 and 93 can only be programmed via downloader. UL installations: Zone Types 90 -93
may not be used as fire or burglar alarm zones on fire or UL burglar alarm installations.
NOTE: All of the zone types described are available for the wireless portion of the system, if used.
