Battery Test
When AC power is present, the VISTA-32FB will run a brief battery test every 60 seconds to
determine if there is a battery connected, and will run an extended battery test every 24
hours to check on the battery's condition. If the VISTA-32FB finds that the battery voltage is
low (less than approximately 11.5V) during one of these tests, it initiates a keypad SYSTEM
LOBAT display and a rapid console beeping sound. It also sends a Low Battery report to the
central station (if the dialer feature is used). The console can be cleared by entering any
[security code] + [OFF], and a Restore report will be sent to the central station after a
subsequent test indicates that the problem (disconnected or low battery) has been corrected.
If used, the PS24 will also run a brief battery test every 60 seconds to check that a battery is
connected, and will run an extended battery test every 17 hours to check the actual battery
condition. If the PS24 finds the battery voltage low (less than approximately 23V), it will
open-circuit its LOW BATTERY output. Be sure to wire this output to one of the VISTA-
32FBs EOLR-supervised zones (zones 3-8; program for 24-hour trouble response (zone type
19) so that the VISTA-32FB will initiate the required local annunciation and dialer reports).
Dialer Test
The VISTA-32FB may be programmed to automatically transmit test reports to a central
station at intervals ranging from once per hour to once per 999 hours (field 27). UL
requires that a test report be transmitted at least once every 24 hours. The VISTA-32FB can
be programmed to send the first report at any time of the day, or on any day of the week
after power-up (field 83).
