Introduction
I Alarm Output Advisov
I
This system includes an alarm
output rated at 2 amps.
Throughout the manual,
wherever reference is
made to Alarm Output
Ratings, they
assume a
fully charged battery is
connected, unless the
UL
rating is stated. The battery
is periodically tested automati-
cally (approximately every four
hours), and if it cannot sustain a
load, a low battery message is
displayed and can be reported to
the"central station.
I
System The Ademco via30 k a
microprocessor-based state-of-
the-art security control intended
for wireless applications.
Zones
Supported Supports
up to 32 zones, in the following configuration:
2 hard wired
EOLR "basic" zones.
Up to 30 expansion zones (wireless and/or additional
wired zones) by using an appropriate RF receiver( 4281
or 5881 type) or wired expansion unit (No. 4219 or
4229). Refer to the Zone Characteristics tabulation on
the next page for detailed zone information.
/Vote: The sirg/e 4281/5881 type RF receiver that the
Adenwo via30 accommodates, features Spatial
Diversity (dual antennas), which virtually eliminates
the possibility of "Nulls" and "Dead Spots" within
the coverage area.
Relay Outputs 2 or 4 output relays can be added, to perform pro-
grammable actions in response to zone activity or manual
entries, by using a No. 4229 Wired Expansion/Relay Unit
(8 wired zones and 2 output relays) or No. 4204 Relay Unit
(4 output relays).
Programming A No.5137 or 6139 Alpha Console is required
for programming zones and relay operation, but
it need not remain in the system. These consoles have
digital keypads and 2-line 32 character alphanumeric LCDS
(Liquid Crystal Displays).
Programmed options to establish specific alarm and re-
porting features are stored in electrically erasable, non-
volatile EEROM memory. This means that the unit can be
reprogrammed many times (unlike units equipped with
PROMS) and that information which has been pro-
grammed will not be lost in the event of a complete loss of
power.
In addition, the system can be uploaded, downloaded, or
controlled via a computer and Hayes modem (see RE-
MOTE PROGRAMMING AND CONTROL on page 34).
Remote Consoles After programming, the system may use one or more
4127, 4137, 5137, 6127 or 6139 Consoles. The 4127,
4137, and 6127 have digital keypads and fixed English
status LCDS.
Note:
4137AD and 5137AD
(Addressable) Consoles
may be used, provided they are set to their non-
addressable mode (device ID 31 ...all DIP switch
positions UP).
When wireless is in use, the system may aLso be armed
and disarmed with a wireless keypad (No. 5727/5827) or
other 5800 RF system units (e.g., Nos. 5801, 5802,
5803).
Jser Codes Up to 3 secondary user codes can be assigned by the sys-
tem's Master code.
communication
The system provides communication capability (central
station reporting, etc.) over existing telephone lines.
