Mechanics Of Programming; General Programming Information; Entering Program Mode; Programming A Data Field - ADEMCO Vista-20 Installation Instructions Manual

This sectionprovides information on how progr amming is performed in this
system. It will enable you to understand how to enter and exit the
programming mode, and how to program the data fields and the user-friendly
interactive modes (*56, *80, *81, *82, *83). We therefore urge you to read
and understand the following beforeproceedingwith the installation.
.
Rqmmmmg Infcmnation
Characteristicsfor eachinstallation are stored in non-removable, electrically
erasable,non-volatile EEROM memory. These must be programmed for the
particular installation to establishits specific alarm and
reporting
features.
It is possible to program the system at any time, even at the installer's
premisesprior to the actual installation. Simply appIy power temporarily to
the contiol and then program the unit as desired.
Important Note: You cannot enter the programming mode unless
~ ptilioIM are disarmed.
There are two programming g modes: data field pro- amming and interactive
(menu) mode programming. Data field programming is used for setting
various system options and interactive programming is used for
programming zone information, progmmming relay outputs, and for learning
transmitter serial numbers.
Rogramming can alsobe performedremotely horn the installer's office/home,
using an IBM personal computer, a modem, and V-Link downloading
software. See the

Entering Program Mode
You may use one of the followingmethods:
a) Press both the [*] and [#] keys at the same time within 50 seconds
after power is applied to the Control, or
b) Mter power up, enter the Installer code(4 1 1 2)+ S O 0.
This method is disabled if you exit the program mode using *98 instead of
*99. See"Ex~ fiogram Mode" paragraph later in this section.
If a difTerentInstsler codeis subsequently programmed, use it instead of
4112 to gain access to the I?rogrammin g mode.
Following entry into program mode, data field *2O will be displayed (this is
the first field in the system).The systemwill now acceptentries for field =0.
