VISTA-128BPT/VISTA-250BPT Installation and Setup Guide
For Systems with Line Security:
•
You must use a GSMHS Communicator.

UL611/UL1610 Central Station Burglary Alarm

Follow the instructions for UL609 Local installations given above.
For Systems without Line Security:
•
You must use the VISTA-128BPT/VISTA-250BPT' dialer with a 7847i Communicator.
•
Connect the control's burglary/audible panic alarm trigger (on J7 header) and the 659EN's phone line monitor output to the
7847i. The 7847i will send a report to the central station when a telephone line fault condition is detected.
•
Also connect the 7847i Communicator's fault output to one of the VISTA-128BPT/VISTA-250BPT EOLR-supervised zones
(i.e., 1-8). Program this zone for a trouble by day/alarm by night (type 05) or a 24-hour alarm (type 07, 08) response to
communicator's faults.
•
Program the control's dialer to send Burglary Alarm, Trouble, Opening/Closing, and Low Battery reports.
For Systems with Line Security:
Follow the instructions for Systems without Line Security, except use the GSMHS Communicator in place of the 7847i.
California State Fire Marshal (CSFM) and UL Residential Fire Battery Backup
Requirements
The California State Fire Marshal and UL have regulations that require all residential fire alarm control panels to have backup
battery with sufficient capacity to operate the panel and its attached peripheral devices for 24 hours in the intended standby
condition, followed by at least 4 minutes in the intended fire alarm signaling condition.
The VISTA-128BPT/VISTA-250BPT can meet this requirement without using a supplemental power supply, provided that the
panel's outputs (including the current drawn from the auxiliary power output terminals) are limited as shown below:
•
Output current is limited to 750mA maximum total auxiliary power, polling loop, and bell output current.
•
Maximum auxiliary current is 300mA (including polling loop current).
•
A 14AH battery is used. (Yuasa model NP7-12 recommended; use two connected in parallel.) A dual-battery harness is
provided with ADEMCO No. 4100EOLR Resistor Kit (kit also contains EOL resistors having spade lug/heat shrink tubing
construction approved by UL and CSFM for fire zone usage). Both batteries fit inside the panel's cabinet.

ULC Installation Requirements

•
The zone inputs of the control unit are considered Low Risk applications only.
•
The control unit must not be mounted on the exterior of a vault, safe or stockroom.
•
Subscriber control units capable of maintaining opening (disarming) and closing (arming) schedules must facilitate a
hardcopy printout of the opening (disarming) and closing (arming) schedule programming and of all the programmed
holidays.
•
Telephone service must be of the type that provides for timed release disconnect.
•
A server employed for control over network addressing, encryption or re-transmission, Must be designed to remain in the
"on state" at all times.
•
Encryption must be enabled at all times for active communications channel security.
•
For ULC Installations, refer to CAN/ULC-S302, Installation and Classification of Burglar Alarm Systems for Financial and
Commercial Premises, Safes and Vaults; CAN/ULC-S301, Standard for Central and Monitoring Station Burglar Alarm
systems and CSA 22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations.
