WIRELESS EXPANSION (Zones I-63)
428014280-8 RF RECEIVER
.
The VISTA XMP system supports up to 63 wireless
transmitters (5700 series). DIUS a 5727 wireless kevoad. To
expand the iystem usi&'wireless, one or two 2280 RF
Receivers (or 4280-8 if only 8 wireless zones are used) must
be connected to the polling loop. The 4280 receives status
and alarm signals from wireless transmitters (@345MHz
USA: 315MHr Canada) within a nominal range of 200 feet,
and relays this information to the control via the polling loop.
Two 4280s can be used to piovide either a greater area of
coverage, or provide redundant protection.
IMPORTANT:
Note that if using two RF Receivers, one of
them must be powered from auxiliary power. For more
information regarding the 4280 installation, refer to the
installation instructions provided with the 4280.
NOTE: Unless stated otherwise, references to the 4280
Receiver represent the 4280 and/or 4280-8 Receivers.

PROGRAMMING NOTES FOR WIRELESS DEVICES
All RF zones must be designated as such in their respective
program fields (1'18-1'25). Any zone from l-63 can be
designated
as
an RF zone. To enable a zone as wireless,
simply enter a '1' in the location for that zone. Be careful
when deslgnatlng RF zones.
If you want a zone to be
either hard-wired or on the polling loop, but accidentally
enable it as RF. the system will ignore that zone. RF enable
overrides hard-wire! If using a 4280-8. only up 10 8 zones can
be enabled as RF zones. If more than 8 zones are enabled,
the message 'SET-UP ERROR' (5137) or +8' (413714127)
will be displayed.
SUPERVISION
Each transmitter (except 5701 and 5727) is supervised by
a
check-in signal that is sent to the receiver at 70-90 minute
intervals. If at least one Check-in is not received from a
transmitter within a programmed interval (field 1'31). the
console will display the transmitter number and 'CHECK. will
be displayed.
Each transmitter (including 5701 and 5727) is
also
supervised for low battery conditions, and will tiansmit a low
battery signal to the 4280 when the battery
has
approximately 30 days of life remaining.
NOTE: After replacing a low or dead battery, activate the
transmitter and enter the security code + OFF to clear its
memory of the 'Low Battery' signal.
The 4280 itself is also supervised three ways:
1. If the cover of the 4280 is removed, an ALARM or
TROUBLE will be displayed depending upon the response
programmed for zones 89 8 91 (field 1'09).
2. If the connection is broken between the 4280 and the
control panel, or the 4280's cover is removed, an ALARM
or TROUBLE will be displayed depending on the response
programmed ior zones 89 8 91 (field 1'09).
This response
is usually that of a DAYMIGHT or 24 hour type.
-8-
3.' If. within a programmed interval of time, the 4280 does not
hear from any of its transmitters, an ALARM or TROUBLE
will be displayed depending on the response programmed
for zones 88 8 90 (fields 1'08 8 1'09).
HOUSE IDENTIFICATION
.The 4280 responds only to transmitters with the same house
ID (DIP switch programmable from 01-31). This prevents
system interference from transmitters in other nearby
systems. To make sure you do not choose a House ID that is
in use nearby, put the system in the Snitfer Mode, which is
described later in thii section.
TRANSMITTER IDENTIFICATION
Each transmitter has its own unique ID number (Zone #)*
which is DIP switch progiammable in each unit. Whenever a
transmission takes place, either for an alarm, fault, check-in
or low battery, this ID number is sent along with the message
to the 4280 which, in turn, relays this information to the
control panel, which displays the condition and zone number
on the console. See the DIP SWITCH TABLES FOR
WIRELESS DEVICES at the end of this manual, for individual
transmitter settings.
SNIFFER MODE TO DETERMINE HOUSE ID
(Code + [#] + 2)
To
check for house IDS being used in
nearby
systems, se1
the DIP switches in the 4280 for a House ID of '00' (all
switches up), then enter your 'Installer Code' + [#] + [2]. The
4280 will now 'snm' out any House IDS in the area and
display them: Keeping the 4280 in this mode for about 2
hours will give a good indication of the house IDS being used.
To exit the Sniffer Mode, simply key your installer
code
+
OFF, then set your house ID to one not displayed in the
Sniffer Mode'.
SNIFFER MODE TO CHECK TRANSMITTERS
(Code + [Y] + 3)
To check that all transmitters have been set for the proper
house ID. set the 4280 to the proper house ID and enter the
Installer oode + [#I+ (31. All transmitter ID numbers
that have
the house ID set for the 4280 will be displayed when each
transmitter number checks in (up to 2 hours). A faster way to
do this is to fault each transmitter, which
causes a
transmission to be sent to the 4280. Check that the ID
number is displayed when the transmitter is faulted.
GO/NO GO TEST MODE (Patented)
This mode helps determine the best location for each
transmitter and is activated by putting the control panel in
the TEST mode and removing the 4280's cover. The
receiver's sensitivity is reduced by half. Once transmitiers
are placed in their desired locations and the approximate
length of wire to be run IO sensors is connected to the
transmitter's screw terminals, open circuit each transmitter.
Do nor conducr rhis rest with your hand wrapped around the
transmitter.
H a single 4280 is used, the console will beep three times to
indicate signal reception. If two 4280s are used, the console
will
beep once if the first 4280 received the signal, twice if Ihe
second 4280 received the signal and three times if both
receivers heard the signal (which is desirable for redundant
configurations).
If the console does not beep, reorient or move the
transmitter to another location.
To exit this mode, replace the 4280's cover, then enter the
installer code and
press OFF. Note that the Receiver's
sensitivity is fully restored when the cover is replaced.
