Access Control Using The Passpoint Access Control System - ADEMCO VISTA-128B Installation And Setup Gude

VistaKey Dialer Enables
When the VistaKey is installed with an alarm system, the system defaults are set so that the
system does not send reports to the central station. The programming is accomplished in field
1∗35 for the following events:
•
ACS Troubles - To enable or disable ACS trouble reporting.
•
ACS Bypasses - To enable or disable ACS bypass reporting.
•
ACS System - To enable or disable ACS system reporting, (i.e., ACS module reset).
•
ACS Alarms - To enable or disable ACS alarm reporting.
•
Dialer (Trace) To enable or disable access grant/denial events sent to the central station.

Access Control Using the PassPoint Access Control System

The VISTA-128B interfaces with the PassPoint ACS via the VISTA Gateway Module (VGM).
The VGM is connected between the ECP bus (keypad terminals) of the control and the
network bus of the PassPoint ACS (see Figure 14-2). The control sends the VGM its status
information, event log entries and entry/exit requests, (inputs programmed with response
type Access Point), from keypads, hardwired zones, and RF transmitters. The VGM then
reformats and retransmits this information to the Main Logic Board, (MLB) on the PassPoint
ACS network bus.
The VISTA-128B is able to control the following on the PassPoint ACS:
•
Access Points
The PassPoint ACS is able to control the following on the VISTA-128B:
•
Relays
•
Arming/disarming schedules
•
Keypad Display
See the documentation that comes with the PassPoint ACS for details.
The PassPoint ACS can dedicate some of its inputs for use as regular VISTA-128B hardwired
zones (the zone response type is ACS). The PassPoint ACS can also utilize the VISTA-128B's
dialer for reports to the central station.
Using ACS Zone Inputs
If the PassPoint ACS has uncommitted zones, these may be used by the VISTA-128B as
hardwired zones.

PassPoint Dialer Events
All PassPoint ACS events can be sent to the VISTA-128B's dialer via the VGM. These events
will also be logged into the control's event log. This is enabled in the PassPoint ACS. See the
PassPoint ACS documentation for a detailed explanation.
Wiring the Vista Gateway Module
The Vista Gateway Module is connected between the ECP bus (VISTA-128B keypad
terminals) and the network bus of the PassPoint Access Control System. See Figure 14-2 for
the proper wiring connections.
Action
Enter Zone Programming in the #93 Menu Mode.
Program this zone as any other zone. Indicate the input type as ACS (10).
