Ul611/Ul1610 Central Station Burglary Alarm; California State Fire Marshal (Csfm) And Ul Residential Fire Battery Backup Requirements - ADEMCO VISTA-128B Installation And Setup Gude

VISTA-128B Installation and Setup Guide
For Grade AA Service:
•
You must use a 7920SE Long Range Radio.
•
Connect the 7920SE to the VISTA-128B burglary/audible panic alarm trigger.

UL611/UL1610 Central Station Burglary Alarm

Follow the instructions for UL609 Local installations given above.
For Grade A Service:
•
You must use the VISTA-128B's dialer with a 7720 Long Range Radio.
•
Connect the control's burglary/audible panic alarm trigger (on J7 header) and the
659EN's phone line monitor output to the 7720. The 7720 will send a report to the
central station when a telephone line fault condition is detected.
•
Also connect the 7720's radio fault output to one of the VISTA-128B's EOLR-supervised
zones (i.e., 1-8). Program this zone for a trouble by day/alarm by night (type 05) or a 24-
hour alarm (type 07, 08) response to radio faults.
•
Program the control's dialer to send Burglary Alarm, Trouble, Opening/Closing,, and Low
Battery reports.
For Grade AA Service:
•
Follow the instructions for Grade A service, except use the 7920SE in place of the 7720.
California State Fire Marshal (CSFM) and UL Residential Fire Battery Backup
Requirements.
The California State Fire Marshal and UL have regulations which require that all residential
fire alarm control panels must be provided with backup battery which has sufficient capacity
to operate the panel and its attached peripherals devices for 24 hours in the intended
standby condition, followed by at least 4 minutes in the intended fire alarm signaling
condition.
The VISTA-128B can meet this requirement without using a supplemental power supply,
provided that the panel's outputs (including the current drawn from the auxiliary power
output terminals) are limited as shown below:
•
Output current is limited to 750mA maximum total auxiliary power, polling loop and bell
output current.
•
Maximum auxiliary current is 300mA (including polling loop current)
•
Use 14AH battery (Yuasa model NP7-12 recommended, use two connected in parallel. A
dual battery harness is provided with ADEMCO No. 4100EOLR Resistor kit (kit also
contains EOL resistors having spade lug/heat shrink tubing construction which has been
approved by UL and CSFM for fire zone usage). Both batteries will fit inside the panel's
cabinet.
