Using a Supplementary Power Supply to Power Additional Keypads The VISTA-20BAY control provides 600mA max (500mA max for UL installations) for powering keypads (up to a maximum of 4) and other devices from the auxiliary power output.
1. Temporarily connect a 2000-ohm end-of-line resistor across each of the basic hardwire zones 1-8, as shown in Figure 23. VISTA-20BAY Summary of Connections diagram. Without actual zone wiring or EOL resistors connected, the keypads will not display the READY message.
Wiring Burglary and Panic Devices to Zones 1-8 1. Connect sensors/contacts to the hardwired zone terminals (8 through 20). See Figure 23. VISTA-20BAY Summary of Connections diagram. 2. Connect closed circuit devices in series in the high (+) side loop. The EOL resistor must be connected in series with the devices, following the last device.
VISTA-20BAY Installation & Setup Guide Wiring 2-Wire Smoke Detectors to Zone 1 1. Connect 2-wire smoke detectors across zone 1 terminals 8 (+) and 9 (–). Observe proper polarity when connecting the detectors. 2. If an EOL resistor is presently connected across zone 1 terminals, remove it. The EOL resistor must be connected across the loop wires at the last detector.
Section 4 - Basic Hardwired Zones Wiring 4-Wire Smoke/Combustion Detectors on Zones 2-7 The system supports as many 4-wire detectors as can be powered from Auxiliary Power on the control on zones 2-7. Refer to the detector’s instructions for complete details regarding proper installation and operation.
VISTA-20BAY Installation & Setup Guide Wiring 2-Wire Latching Glassbreak Detectors on Zone 8 Use zone 8 for connection of compatible 2-wire latching-type glassbreak detectors. Connect all detectors in parallel across zone 8 (terminals 19 and 20). After an alarm, the first code + OFF turns off the siren and disarms the system; the second code + OFF clears the memory of alarm and resets the glassbreak detector.
Section 4 - Basic Hardwired Zones Programming Hardwired Zones Each zone must be programmed into the system using the ∗56 Zone Programming mode, or ∗58 Expert Programming Mode, which assigns characteristics that define the way the system responds to faults on that zone.

VISTA-20BAY Installation & Setup Guide Wireless transmitters (used in some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions. Longevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation.
