Installing A Remote Keyswitch; Figure 26: Remote Key Switch Wiring - Honeywell VISTA-128BPT Installation And Setup Manual

Installing a Remote Keyswitch

A UL-Listed remote keyswitch 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 partition.
ULC
Remote Arming is not a ULC Listed feature.
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 10 seconds
arms the partition in STAY mode 1. 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 2-wire smoke 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 7 in Figure 29).
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
1. Connect the momentary keyswitch to J7 as shown in Figure 24.
2. If you are using the tamper, make sure it is connected to a zone.
