LED in the receiver after it is operational (random flicker is OK). Installing the Lock (if used) Use an ADEMCO No. N6277 Cam Lock and No. N6277–1 Push-On Clip (Retainer Clip). NOTE:The cabinet can be closed and secured without a lock by using 2 screws in the cover's edge.
VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Installation and Setup Guide Before installing the cabinet's contents, remove the metal cabinet knockouts required for wiring entry. Do not attempt to remove the knockouts after the circuit board has been installed. Mounting the Control's Circuit Board Alone in the Cabinet To mount the circuit board alone in the cabinet, follow these steps: 1.
Section 2 - Installing the Control Mounting Control and RF Receiver Circuit Boards Together in the Cabinet To mount the control and RF receiver boards together in the cabinet, do the following: 1. Hang two short (black) mounting clips (provided with receiver) on the raised cabinet tabs, as shown in Detail B in Figure 3.
VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Installation and Setup Guide Standard Phone Line Connections The wiring connections shown here are not applicable if the 4285/4286 VIP Module is used. Refer to Section 8: 4285/4286 VIP Module for information regarding phone line connections, which are different than those shown here.
Section 2 - Installing the Control Wiring the AC Transformer 1321/1321CN Transformer Wire the 1321/1321CN Transformer to terminals 1 and 2 on the control board. See wiring table below to determine wire gauge. Use caution when wiring the transformer to the control panel to guard against blowing the fuse inside the transformer (the fuse is nonreplaceable).
2. Attach red and black wires on the battery connector cable as follows: a. Red to the positive (+) battery terminal on the control board (see Figure 22. VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Summary of Connections for location, if necessary). b. Black to the negative (–) battery terminal on the control board.

Supplementary Power for Additional Keypads The VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN control provides 600mA for powering keypads (up to 4) and other devices from the auxiliary power output. The backup battery supplies power to these keypads in the event that AC power is lost.
1. Temporarily connect a 2000-ohm end-of-line resistor across each of the basic hardwired zones 1–6, as shown in the VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Summary of Connections diagram. Without actual zone wiring or EOL resistors connected, the keypads will not display the READY message.

Wiring Burglary and Panic Devices to Zones 1–6 To wire burglary and panic devices to zones 1-6, perform the following steps, referring to Figure 22. VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Summary of Connections at the back of this manual. 1. Connect sensors/contacts to the hardwired zone terminals (8 through 17).
In UL installations, only zone 1 may be used as a fire zone. In addition, an ADEMCO Model 610–7 must be used as the end-of-line resistor at the last detector.
Section 4 - Basic Hardwired Zones 1-6 Remove 2000 ohm EOL resistor if connected across the selected zone terminals. You must connect the EOL resistor across the loop wires at the last detector. To supervise power, we recommend the use of a System Sensor No. A77-716B Supervisory Module.

VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Installation and Setup Guide Installing the 5881/5882 Receiver RF System Installation Advisories Follow the guidelines below when installing the RF receiver. (Disregard if the receiver is mounted in the control cabinet.) • Place the RF receiver in a high, centrally located area for best reception.
Terminal 7 BLUE Not Used Do not cut any of the jumpers on the 5800TM when using it with the VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN. For additional information, refer to the 5800TM’s instructions. Jam Detection and Reporting When field 22, option 4 (in Data Field Descriptions) is selected, a 5800 series receiver detecting a jam condition sends an E344 (RF Receiver Jam Detect) Contact ID report to the Central Station.
