Installing External Sounders - Honeywell VISTA-128BPT Installation And Setup Manual

Installing External Sounders

The control provides a bell circuit output for operating fire and burglary alarm notification appliances. The alarm output
is rated 10VDC – 14VDC, 1.7A max., power-limited.
•
For Household Fire and combination Household Fire/Burglary installations, the total current drawn
from the auxiliary power, polling loop, and alarm output combined must not exceed 750mA.
•
For Household Burglary installations, the total current drawn from the alarm output must not exceed
UL
1.7A.
A battery must be installed, as it supplies the current for the combined auxiliary power, polling loop,
and alarm output in excess of 750mA.
The output has the following options:
•
Selectable for supervision.
•
Selectable for confirmation of arming ding.
•
Selectable to chime when entry/exit or perimeter
zones are faulted.
•
Selectable for a timeout of 2-30 minutes.
UL Burglary bell circuits must be programmed
for a timeout of 16 minutes or longer.
UL985 Household Fire or Combination
Household Fire/Burglary Installations
For installations that must provide UL Listed
protection, the total combined current drawn from
the alarm output, auxiliary power output, and polling
loop must not exceed 750mA in order to comply with
the battery independence requirements.
UL1023 Household Burglary Installations
For Household Burglary installations, the total
current drawn from the alarm output must not
exceed 1.7A. A battery must be installed, as the
battery supplies current from the combined auxiliary
power, polling loop, and alarm output in excess of
750mA.
Non-UL Installations
For non-UL installations, the total current drawn from
this output can be up to 1.7A. A battery must be
installed, as the battery supplies current in excess of
750mA. Up to two 719 sirens can be used wired in
parallel.
This control complies with National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA)
UL
requirements for temporal pulse sounding
of fire notification appliances
Alarm Output Supervision
When supervision is enabled, the VISTA-
128BPT/VISTA-250BPT monitors the alarm output
wiring for open and short circuit faults while the
output is inactive. The system provides a trouble
indication (Zone 970) when an open occurs; or when
a short occurs between the Bell (+) and Bell (-)
terminal wiring, or between the Bell (+) terminal wiring
and earth ground.
UL
The VISTA-128BPT/VISTA-250BPT indicates the
trouble condition regardless of whether the system is
armed or disarmed. The zone displays on the
keypads, reports to the event log, and transmits to
the central station (if programmed) on Partition 1.
The Contact ID event code is 321, Bell Trouble. The
trouble is cleared from the display by entering the
user code + OFF.
Wiring the Alarm Output
The wiring of the alarm output depends upon
whether you are going to supervise the output or not.
Use the appropriate procedure below for your
application.

SECTION 4: INSTALLING THE CONTROL
When supervising the bell output (zone
970), only one device can be connected to
the alarm output (terminals 4 and 5) for UL
and Fire installations.
Use only UL Listed sounding devices for
UL installations.
