VISTA-120 Installation and Setup Guide
Master Keypad Setup and Operation
Although this system has eight actual partitions, it provides an extra partition strictly for the purpose of assigning
keypads as "Master" keypads for the system.
Any keypad assigned to Partition 9 in #93 Device Programming mode will become a "Master" keypad. A Master keypad
reflects the status of the entire system (Partitions 1-8) on its display at one time. This is useful because it eliminates the
need for a security officer in a building to have to "log-on" to various partitions from one partition's keypad to find out
where an alarm has occurred.
The following is an example of a typical display:
Possible status indications include:
A = Armed Away
S = Armed Stay
R = Ready
B = Bypassed/Ready
To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter ✴ + [Partition No.] (i.e., ✴ 4). In order to affect that
partition, the user must use a code that has access to that partition. Also, in order for a user of any partition to log onto
Partition 9 to view the status of all partitions, that user must have access to all partitions. Otherwise, access will be
denied.
The following is an example of what would be displayed for a fault condition on Zone 2 (Loading Dock Window) on
Partition 1 (Warehouse) when logging on from a keypad in Partition 9:
This is the normal display that appears at Partition 1's keypad(s). Pressing [✴] will display:
Additional zone faults will be displayed one at a time. To display a new partition's status, press [✴] + [Partition No.].
This will display the status of the new partition.
The "Armed" LED on a Master keypad will be lit only if all partitions have been armed successfully. The "Ready" LED
will be lit only if all partitions that are disarmed are "ready to arm." Neither LED will be lit if only some partitions are
armed and only some disarmed partitions are "ready."
The sounder on a Master keypad will reflect the sound of the most critical condition on all of the partitions. The priority
of the sounds is as follows:
1.
Pulsing fire alarm sounds
2.
Steady burglar alarm sounds
3.
Trouble sounds (rapid beeping)
The sounder may be silenced by pressing any key on the Master keypad or a keypad in the partition where the condition
exists.
A Master keypad uses the same panics as Partition 1. Master keypad panics are sent to Partition 1, and will
activate in Partition 1. Therefore, panics must be programmed for Partition 1.
Panel Linking
Up to eight VISTA-120 control panels may be locally networked, enabling a user to control the features of all control
panels from a single location. The panel linking bus supports an end-to-end network length of up to 1220m, making it
ideal for multi-building environments (e.g., a shopping mall, college campus, etc.).
Panel linking requires a VA8200 Panel Link Module (PLM) on each VISTA-120. Users can link (access other control
panels) in any of three different modes: Single-Partition, Single-Panel Mode; Multi-Partition, Multi-Panel Mode; Multi-
Panel View Mode. These modes are described later in this section.
Each PLM connects to the ECP bus on the control panel and communicates to each PLM via an RS-485 bus (3-wire
twisted cable run) with a maximum wire-run of 1220m end-to-end.
