Smoke Detector Reset; Communicators Connected To The Ecp - Honeywell VISTA-128BPT Installation And Setup Manual

VISTA-128BPT/VISTA-250BPT Installation and Setup Guide

Smoke Detector Reset

Output 1 may be used to reset 4-wire smoke detectors. Use this output to trigger a low current relay, and wire the power
for the smoke detectors through the relay's contacts.
NOTE: The output is normally high (12VDC) and goes low when the User Code + Off is entered at the keypad.
To install a relay for smoke detector reset, perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Connect power terminals of the relay to the panel's auxiliary power (terminals 6 & 7).
2 Connect trigger input of the relay to Output 1 on J7.
3 Connect the "pole" (common) of the relay to terminal 6 of the control.
4 Connect the positive side of the smoke detectors to the normally closed contact of the relay.
5 Connect the negative side of the smoke detectors to terminal 7 of the control.

Communicators Connected to the ECP

The control can support an ECP Communicator (such as the 7847i, 7847i-E, GSMV, GSMHS, IGSMV, or IGSMHS) that
connects to control panel's keypad terminals. All messages programmed for transmission via the phone lines may also
be sent via the Communicator. These messages are transmitted in Contact ID format regardless of the format
programmed for the control in fields 45 and 47.
We recommend that, if possible, you use Contact ID for the main dialer. If Contact ID is not used, certain types of
reports are not sent.
U LC
For ULC installations, Contact ID is the only permitted format.
Operation
The VISTA-128BPT/VISTA-250BPT features Dynamic Signaling Delay and Dynamic Signaling Priority message
reporting when a Communicator is used. These options are accessed through data fields
Dynamic Signaling feature is designed to reduce the number of redundant reports sent to the central station.
The feature is described as follows:
Dynamic Signaling Delay (Field
Select the time the panel should wait for acknowledgment from the first reporting destination before it attempts to send
a report to the second destination. Delays can be selected from 0 to 225 seconds, in 15-second increments.
Dynamic Signaling Priority (Field
Select the initial reporting destination for reports, Primary Dialer (0) or Communicator (1).
The chart below provides an explanation of how the Dynamic Signaling feature functions.
If Priority And message is...
(∗57) is...
Primary Acknowledged before delay expires
Phone No.
Not acknowledged before delay expires
("0")
Long Range Acknowledged before delay expires
Radio ("1")
Not acknowledged before delay expires
Additional Communicator reporting options are defined by selecting the events for each subscriber ID in fields ∗58 and
∗59. The reporting events are Alarms, Troubles, Bypasses, Openings/Closing, System Events, and Test. Also, 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 Communicator, but Zone 11 will not.
Reports are transmitted from the VISTA-128BPT/VISTA-250BPT to the Communicator on a "first in/first out" basis. If
events occur at the same time, they are transmitted in order of priority. The priority from most to least important is :
Fire Alarms, Panic Alarms, Burglary Alarms, Fire Troubles, Non-Fire Troubles, Bypasses, Openings/Closings, Test
messages, and all other types of reports.
There are two subscriber IDs programmed into the Communicator: 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 Communicator
will not be transmitted.
