UL NOTICES

1. Entry Delay No. 1 and No. 2 (fields ∗ 35, ∗ 36) cannot be greater than 30 seconds for UL Residential Burglar Alarm installations, and
entry delay plus dial delay should not exceed 1 minute. For UL Commercial Burglar Alarm installations, total entry delay may not
exceed 45 seconds.
2. For UL Commercial Burglar Alarm and UL Residential Burglar Alarm installations with line security, total exit delay time must not
exceed 60 seconds.
3. The maximum number of reports per armed period (field ∗ 93) must be set to "0" (unlimited) for UL installations.
4. Periodic testing (see scheduling mode) must be at least every 24 hours.
5. Alarm Sounder plus Auxiliary Power currents must not exceed 600mA total for UL installations (Aux power 500mA max.).
6. All partitions must be owned and managed by the same person(s).
7. All partitions must be part of one building at one street address.
8. If used, the audible alarm device(s) must be placed where it/they can be heard by all partitions.
9. For UL commercial burglar alarm installations the control unit must be protected from unauthorized access. The tamper switch
installed to protect the control unit enclosure door is suitable for this purpose.
10. Remote downloading without an alarm company technician on-site (unattended downloading) is not permissible for UL installations.
11. Auto-disarming is not a UL Listed feature.
12. As SIA limits for delay of alarm reporting and sounding can exceed UL limits for commercial and residential applications, the following
UL requirements per UL681 are provided:
The maximum time that a control unit shall be programmed to delay the transmission of a signal to a remote monitoring location, or to
delay the energizing of a local alarm sounding device to permit the alarm system user to enter and disarm the system, or to arm the
system and exit shall not exceed:
a) 60 seconds for a system with standard line security or encrypted line security,
b) 120 seconds for a system without standard line security or encrypted line security, or
c) 120 seconds for a system that does not transmit an alarm signal to a remote monitoring location.
13. This control is not intended for bank safe and vault applications.

SIA QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

1. ∗31 Single Alarm Sounding per Zone: If "0" selected, "alarm sounding per zone" will be the same as the "number of reports in armed
period" set in field ∗93 (1 if one report, 2 if 2 reports, unlimited for zones in zone list 7).
2. ∗34 Exit Delay: Minimum exit delay is 45 seconds.
3. ∗35/*36 Entry Delay 1 and 2: Minimum entry delay is 30 seconds.
4. ∗37 Audible Exit Warning: Feature always enabled; field does not exist.
5. ∗39 Power Up in Previous State: Must be "1," power up in previous state.
6. ∗40 PABX Access Code or Call Waiting Disable: If call waiting is used, call waiting disable option in field *91 must be set.
7. ∗50 Burglary Dial Delay: Delay must be minimum of 30 seconds.
8. ∗59 Exit Error Alarm Report Code: Always enabled.
∗68 Cancel Report Code: Default is "code enabled."
9
10. ∗69 Recent Closing Report Code: Always enabled.
11. ∗91 Option Selection: Exit Delay option should be enabled. If call waiting is used, Call Waiting Disable must be set to "1" (enabled).
12. ∗93 No. reports in Armed Period: Must be set for 1 or 2 report pairs.
13. Cross zone timer programming is set in field ∗85; cross zone pairs are assigned in zone list 4 using ∗81 Zone List mode.
14. Duress code is assigned by using the "add a user code" procedure found in the User Guide. Enable Duress code reporting by
programming zone 92 using ∗56 Zone Programming mode.
15. Fire alarm verification is a built-in system feature when a zone is programmed for zone type 16.

ULC S304 REQUIREMENTS (for VISTA-15PCN and VISTA-20PCN)

Refer to the following notes for systems intended for Low Risk Level (low extent of protection) and Medium Risk Level (medium extent of
protection) installations.
Low Risk Level
If the panel is used for Low Risk Level installations, the system must include the following:
• Subscriber control unit may use one telephone number, but it must be programmed that
a) it transmits over the single channel to the receiver once every 24 hour;
b) it detects a loss of communication and initiates the local trouble signal within 180 seconds;
c) in event of failure in the communication channel, all alarm and trouble signals must be annunciated locally.
• Protection circuit conductors shall form one fully supervised circuit so arranged that an alarm signal will be initiated at the central
station from the effect of loss data, an open circuit or other change in normal status.
• Trouble response time must be in compliance with CAN/ULC-S301, Central and Monitoring Station Burglar Alarm Systems
Medium Risk Level
If the panel is used for Medium Risk Level installations, the system must include the following:
• Subscriber control unit may use at least two communication levels, one being the telephone number and the other being a radio
frequency communication channel – the GSM communicator may be used. The Subscriber control unit must be programmed that
a) it transmits over the both channels to the receiver once every 24 hours;
b) failure of communication of either channel is reported to the Central Station on the other channel within 240 sec;
c) the first attempt to send a status change signal shall utilize the Telephone line. Where it is known to have failed, transmission
attempts over the alternate communication channel shall occur.
• Protection circuit conductors shall form double fully supervised circuits so arranged that an alarm signal will be initiated at the central
station from the effect of loss data, an open circuit or other change in normal status.
• Trouble response time must be in compliance with CAN/ULC-S301, Central and Monitoring Station Burglar Alarm Systems
Perimeter, Space, Safe, and Vaults Protection
Protection for perimeter, space, safe, and vaults need to be provided during the installation.
• For the Low Risk Security Level – Accessible openings should be contacted whether fixed or moveable;
• For the Medium Risk Security Level – All moveable and fixed accessible openings should be contacted.
