ADEMCO Vista-20 Installation Instructions Manual page 7

HOW TO USE THIS MAIUWiL
This manual is written to accommodate both the new and the experienced installer
of Ademco products. A general description of the entire system is located at the
beginning of the manual. The wiring and physical setup of the hardware follows.
The sections at the core of the manual include both hardware setup and
programming requirements of each device to make that specific device operational in
the system. A checkout procedure is included at the end of each section. We
recommend this method to ensure that each device is working properly before
proceeding to the next section. It must also be used if you are making a particular
addition to the system of one of these devices.
Each of the sections covering the installation of peripheral devices includes the
programming for that device. Without an understanding of the programming of the
system, you will not be able to successfully perform the required programming in
each of these sections. We therefore urge you to read
Section 2. Mechanics of
Programming
before any programming is petiormed.
If you are an experienced user of Ademco products, you may choose to wire and then
program the entire system at once. If so, refer to
Section 4: Mechanics of
Programming
and
Section 19. Data Field Descriptions
after the hardware setup is
complete. A blank pull-out programming form is included with this manual.
This manual uses various icons to denote critical notes and technical tips to assist
you with the installation of this system. These are easily seen in the left-hand
column of the relevant information.
