General Information
The control can support an ECP Long Range Radio (LRR) (7820, 7835C, and 7845C are
supported). These connect to keypad terminals. All messages programmed to be sent via the
phone lines may also be enabled to be sent via the LRR. These messages will be transmitted
in Contact ID format regardless of the format programmed for the control in fields 45 and 47.
It is recommended that if possible, you use Contact ID format for the main dialer. If Contact ID is
not used certain types of reports such as "Listen To Follow" (606), will not be sent at all.
Supervision
The data lines between the control and the LRR can be supervised, as well as certain
functions in the radio. If communication is lost or a trouble condition occurs, both the LRR
and the control's dialer to the central station can be programmed to send a Trouble message.
Note: For complete information, see the Installation Instructions that accompany the radio.
Operation
The LRR reporting options are defined by selecting categories of events for each subscriber
ID in fields 58 and 59. The reporting categories are Alarms, Troubles, Bypasses,
Openings/Closing, System Events, and Test. In addition, within an enabled category, the
specific event must be enabled for dialer reporting. If, for instance, zone 10 is enabled to
report, but zone 11 is not, zone 10 will report via the LRR, but Zone 11 will not.
The priority of events from most to least important, transmitted from the VISTA-128B to the
LRR is: Fire Alarms, Panic Alarms, Burglary Alarms, Fire Troubles, Non-Fire Troubles,
Bypasses, Openings/Closings, Test messages, and all other types of reports when occurring at
the same time. Otherwise, messages are transmitted on a "first in/first out" basis.
There are two subscriber ID's programmed into the LRR: primary and secondary. These
correspond to the two subscriber ID's programmed into the control for each partition. If a
subscriber ID for a partition is not programmed (disabling reports to that central station), the
events enabled for the corresponding subscriber ID in the LRR will not be transmitted.
If the event is to be reported to both phone numbers, dual reporting, then reporting through
the LRR, will be done in an alternating sequence. The first event in the queue will be
transmitted to the primary radio central station. Then this event will be transmitted to the
secondary radio central station. Once the event is reported successfully via the control's
dialer, it is deleted from the radio's queue and then the control proceeds to the next event.
If split reporting is selected for the VISTA-128B, then the LRR will follow that option. The
radio will send the appropriate reports to the primary and secondary central stations.
