ADEMCO VistaKey Installation And Setup Manual

®
GENERAL INFORMATION
The VistaKey is a single-door access control module that,
when connected to a Fire/Burglary Alarm System, provides
access control to the protected premises. The VistaKey
Module, when obtained separately, must be mounted
in the VistaKey-SK (Starter Kit) as an add-on unit to
provide access control to more than one point.
The UL Listed VistaKey-SK contains all of the components
necessary for a minimum access point configuration
installation (with exception of mag locks or door strikes).
The VistaKey module contains three zones.
These zones should be ONLY used for access
U L
control functions in UL installations. THESE
INPUT ZONES ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR
FIRE AND BURGLARY APPLICATIONS.
Do not use the VistaKey on an alarm panel that is
connected to a PassPoint Access Control System
via a VISTA Gateway Module.
VISTAKEY FEATURES
VistaKey features are as follows:
• Each VistaKey communicates with the alarm system
control via a special global polling protocol of the Vplex
polling loop.
• In the event local power to the VistaKey is lost, the
VistaKey module provides backup monitoring of the
access point door via a built-in Vplex device that is
powered solely from the polling loop. A serial number
label is affixed to the VistaKey module for manual entry
of its serial number.
• All configurable options for each VistaKey are
accomplished via software, firmware, and nonvolatile
memory, eliminating the need for PC board jumpers.
• Access point zone numbers (1-15) are assigned via a
user-friendly, 16-position rotary switch.
• Diagnostic LEDs (2) on board for relay activity and
microprocessor working condition.
COMPATIBLE FIRE/BURGLARY ALARM SYSTEMS
Refer to your VistaKey-SK manual for compatible alarm
systems that the VistaKey can interface with.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
Single-Door Access Control Module
2. The VistaKey uses plug-in terminal blocks for TB-1 and
TB3. Keeping the terminal block screws toward the
outside edge of the VistaKey printed circuit board, slide
the terminal blocks onto the pins extending from the
board.
3. When adding a VistaKey module in the VistaKey-SK,
install the unit on the mounting plate as indicated in the
manual.
4. If applicable, mount the Door Status Monitor (DSM)
and/or Request to Exit (RTE) devices.
5. Using Figure 1 at the end of this section as a reference,
connect the card reader interface cable to TB3, making
the +5v or +12v connection last.
6. Connect the leads to VistaKey TB1 in the following
order:
a. All ground leads to terminals 2, 5, and 9).
b. The (optional) DSM, RTE, and General Purpose leads
to terminals 6, 7, and 8, respectively.
c. Door strike (or mag lock) lead to the relay Pole
terminal 10.
d. Local +12v supply lead to terminal 1 from the power
supply terminal 7.
e. Local supply lead to the N/C relay terminal 11 (if a
mag lock is being used), OR to the N/O relay terminal
12 (if a door strike is being used).
7. Connect the – polling loop and + polling loop leads (from
the alarm control panel) to terminals 4 and 3,
respectively.
8. Set the Address Select switch to the desired access door
number (1-15).
9. Repeat steps 2 through 8 for each VistaKey being
installed in your VistaKey-SK.
For complete system installation instructions, consult your
VistaKey-SK manual.
