Communications - ADEMCO VISTA-50P Quick Start Manual

Recommended Programming Procedure
– 4–
The following is a step-by-step procedure recommended for programming
your VISTA-50P/VISTA-50PUL system.
1 . Set the keypads (and other peripheral devices) to the
appropriate addresses.
2 . Set factory defaults by pressing *97.
This will automatically enable keypad addresses 00-03, so be sure at least
one keypad is set to one of these addresses.
3 . Program system-wide (global) data fields.
Using the programming form as a guide, enter program mode and program
all system wide programming fields. These options affect the entire
system, regardless of partitions. They include control options, downloader
and dialer options, RF options, event logging options, etc. Refer to the
COMPLETE LIST OF PROGRAMMING FIELDS for a listing of the program
fields arranged by function.
Note that field 2*00 (number of partitions) & field 1*32 (RF
expander type) must be programmed before continuing.
4 . Program partition-specific fields.
When the system-wide fields have been programmed, program all
partition-specific programming fields by first pressing *91 to select a
partition (while still in data field program mode). Then enter the first
partition-specific field number *09. The next partition-specific field will
automatically be displayed when you are finished entering the value for
field *09. Partition-specific fields can have different values for each
partition. To program the fields for the next partition, press *91, enter the
desired partition number, then enter field *09. Refer to the MECHANICS
OF PROGRAMMING section for detailed instructions.
5 . Use #93 Menu Mode for device programming.
Refer to the DEVICE PROGRAMMING section to assign keypad ID
numbers and default partitions for each keypad, and to selectively
suppress certain keypad sounding options. Also use this mode to assign
RF receivers, relay modules, and the VIP module.
6 . Use #93 Menu Mode for zone programming.
Refer to the ZONE PROGRAMMING section to program zone response
types, assign right loop zones and wireless zones, assign zones to
partitions, and to program alarm report codes.
8 . Use #93 Menu Mode for programming relays.
Refer to the RELAY PROGRAMMING section to program desired relay
operation.
9 . Program Communication options.
Refer to the COMMUNICATION PROGRAMMING section for further
instructions to load communication defaults and to program related fields.
1 0 . Use #93 Menu Mode for programming alpha descriptors.
Refer to the ALPHA PROGRAMMING section to enter zone and partition
descriptors and a custom installer's message.
