Battery Test
When AC power is present, the VISTA-50P/VISTA-
50PUL runs a brief battery test every 60 seconds to
determine if there is a battery connected, and runs an
extended battery test every 4 hours to check on the
battery's condition.
Dialer Test
The VISTA-50P/VISTA-50PUL may be programmed to
automatically transmit test reports to a central station
at intervals ranging from once per hour to once per
9999 hours (field ✳27).
Burglary Walk-Test (Code + [5] TEST)
This test causes the system to sound keypad beeps in
response to faults on zones for the purpose of allowing
proper zone operation to be checked without triggering
alarms. This test can be activated by any-level user by
entering the corresponding security code and pressing
TEST while the burglary portion of the system is
disarmed. UL requires that this test be conducted on a
weekly basis.
When this test is first entered, the system activates the
alarm output for 3 seconds. The system sends a Start of
Walk-Test message to the central station. The keypad
displays "Burg Walk Test in Progress" and sounds a
single beep every 15 seconds while the test remains
active.
Armed Burglary System Test
Alarm messages are sent to the central station
during the armed system tests. Notify the
central station that a test will be in progress.
A display of "COMM. FAILURE" indicates a
failure to communicate (no kissoff by the
receiver at the central station after the maximum
number of transmission attempts is tried). If this
occurs, verify that the phone line is connected,
the correct report format is programmed, etc.

Testing the System
If the VISTA-50P/VISTA-50PUL finds that the battery
voltage is low (less than approximately 11.5V), it
initiates a keypad "SYSTEM LOBAT" display and a
rapid keypad beeping sound. It also sends a Low
Battery report to the central station (if programmed).
The keypad is cleared by entering any security code +
OFF, and a Restore report is sent to the central station
if the situation has been corrected.
UL requires the test report to be transmitted at least
once every 24 hours. The system can be programmed to
send the first report at any time of the day, or on any
day of the week (field ✳83).
Open and close each protected door and window in turn.
Each action should produce 3 beeps from the keypad.
Walk in front of any motion detectors. Listen for three
beeps when the detector senses movement.
The keypad displays the zone number and alpha
descriptor while a door or window remains open or
while a detector remains activated. The system
automatically issues a Zone 8 Glassbreak Detector
Power Reset about 10 seconds after it finds a fault on
this zone, to allow faulted detectors to be reset.
To end this test, enter any security code and press OFF.
An End of Walk-Test message is sent to the central
station.
To perform an armed burglary test, proceed as follows:
Step
Action
1
Notify the central station that a test of the
system is being performed.
2
Arm the system.
3
Fault one or more zones.
4
Silence alarm sounder(s) each time by
entering the code and pressing OFF.
NOTE: The system must be rearmed after
each code + off sequence.
5
Check that entry/exit delay zones provide the
assigned delay times.
