General Information
This system has the ability to record up to 512 events of various types in a history log. Each
event is recorded in one of six categories with the time and date of its occurrence (if real-time
clock is set). These categories are:
•
Alarm
•
Supervisory/check
•
Bypass
•
Open/close
•
System conditions
•
Test
The log may be viewed (Display Mode) on an alpha keypad, or can be printed (Print Mode) on
a serial printer (connected to the system via a 4100SM Serial Interface Module).
Event Log Printer Connections
The VISTA-128B's event log can be printed on a local serial printer.
Connect a UL EDP Listed serial printer to the J7 connector using an ADEMCO 4100SM
Interface Module, as shown in Figure 16-1.
The 4100SM Module must be connected to the panel using the distance of the trigger cable. The
wires cannot be lengthened to mount the module in a remote location.
The printer must be configured as follows:
•
7 data bits, even parity, 1 stop bit
•
300 or 1200 baud (1200 required if alpha numeric pager interface is installed)
•
Hardware handshaking using DTR signal
The 4100SM Module is supplied with a 10-foot RS232 cable. A longer cable or an extension
cable can be used if the VISTA-128B is separated from the serial printer by more than 10
feet, but the total cable length should be less than 50 feet.
