VISTA-128BPT/VISTA-250BPT Installation and Setup Guide
Auto Disarming
The system can automatically disarm a partition at the end of a pre-determined opening (disarm) time window.
The disarming time can be delayed by using the Auto-Disarm Delay feature.
Disarm Delay
Auto-Disarm Delay provides a delay before auto disarming. This delay is added to the end of the disarm time window.
The delay is set in 4-minute increments, up to 56 minutes, in partition-specific program field 2∗07.
Restrict Disarming
This option allows disarming by users only during the disarm time window and during the arming time window (in case
user needs to re-enter premises after manually arming the partition).
This option is set in partition-specific field 2∗10. If field 2∗10 is set, we highly recommend setting field 2∗11, as well.
This field allows the partition to be disarmed outside the arm/disarm time windows only if the partition is in alarm.
Exception Reports
This option allows the reporting of openings and closings to the central station only if the arming and disarming occurs
outside of the predetermined opening and closing time windows. It is set in partition-specific field 2∗09.
The system can be programmed to send Failed to Open and Failed to Close reports if the partition is not armed or
disarmed by the end of the corresponding time window.
Limitation of Access of Users by Time
A user's access to the system can be limited to a certain time period. Outside this time, that user's code is inactive. The
system provides up to eight access schedules, each consisting of two time windows (typically one for opening, one for
closing) for each day of the week and two time windows for holidays.
The access schedules are programmed in the #80 Menu Mode, and enabled when a user's access code is added to the
system.
If a user tries to operate the system outside the schedule, the alpha keypad displays "Access Denied."
Time-Driven Events
The system can automatically activate and de-activate relays at predetermined times to turn lights or other devices on
and off. The Time-Driven events can be activated at different times in relation to a time window:
• At the beginning of a time window
• At the end of a time window
• During a time window (on at beginning of window, off at end)
• At both the beginning and end of the time window (e.g., to sound a buzzer at the beginning and end of a coffee break)
• Random time at the start of the time window (occurs within 30 minutes after the start of the time window)
• Random time at the end of the time window (occurs within 30 minutes after the end of the time window)
• Random during the time window (begins within 30 minutes after the start of the time window and ends within 30
minutes after the end of the time window)
The system can perform the same actions on a daily basis, or can perform an action only once (e.g., turn on the porch
light this Wednesday at 8:00 PM).
The system also provides up to 20 programmable "timers" available to the end user for the purpose of activating output
devices at preset times and days.

Time Window Definitions

Scheduled events are based on time windows, (periods of time) during which an event may take place. The system
supports up to 20 time windows, each defined by a "Start" time and a "Stop" time.
The windows are shared by all eight partitions, and are used when programming the various schedules (open/close,
limitation of access), as well as for Time-Driven event control.
Scheduling Example
A store that has the following hours:
Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm
Saturday 10am to 4pm
Sunday Closed
Holidays Closed
6-2
