Vista-128BPEN Installation and Setup Guide
House ID Sniffer Mode
This mode applies only if you are using a wireless keypad (e.g., 5827) or bi-directional devices (e.g., 5804BD). Use the
House ID Sniffer mode to make sure you do not choose a House ID that is in use in a nearby system. The House ID must
be programmed for the receiver in Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode.
To enter House ID Sniffer mode, enter your Installer Code + [#] + [2].
The receiver now "sniffs" for any House IDs in the area and displays them. Keep the receiver in this mode for 2 hours.
Use a House ID that is not displayed. Exit the Sniffer mode by entering your Installer Code + OFF.
As Sniffer mode effectively disables RF point reception, Sniffer mode cannot be entered while any partition is
armed.
5800 Series Transmitter Setup
5800 Series transmitters have the following characteristics:
•
Transmitters have built-in serial numbers that must be enrolled in the system using the #93 Menu Mode
Programming, or input to the control via the downloader.
•
Transmitters do not have DIP switches (except 5827, described separately).
•
Some transmitters, such as the 5816 and 5817, can support more than one "zone" (referred to as loops or inputs).
Each loop must be assigned a different zone number.
•
For button-type transmitters (wireless keys), such as the 5804 and 5804BD, you must assign a unique zone number
to each individual button used on the transmitter.
Transmitter Input Types
All transmitters have one or more unique factory-assigned input (loop) codes. Transmitters can be programmed as one
of the following types:
Type Description
RM
Sends periodic check-in signals, as well as fault and low-battery signals. The control panel automatically restores the
(RF Motion)
zone to "ready" after a few seconds. This type is designed for facilities with multiple motion detectors that may fault and
restore simultaneously. The transmitter must remain within the receiver's range.
NOTE: If using RF Motion with a door/window type transmitter, only loop 1 may be used.
RF
Sends periodic check-in signals, as well as fault, restore, and low-battery signals. The transmitter must remain within
(Supervised
the receiver's range.
RF)
UR
Sends all the signals that the RF type does, but the control does not supervise the check-in signals. The transmitter
(Unsupervised
may therefore be carried off-premises.
RF)
BR
These send only fault signals. They do not send low-battery signals until they are activated. The transmitter may be
(Unsupervised
carried off-premises.
Button RF)
Transmitter Supervision
Supervised RF transmitters send a check-in signal to the receiver at 70–90 minute intervals. If at least one check-in is
not received from each supervised transmitter within a programmed period (field 1∗31), the "missing" transmitter
number(s) and "CHECK" or "TRBL" are displayed. Unsupervised RF transmitters (5802MN, 5804) may be carried off the
premises.
Some transmitters have built-in tamper protection, and annunciate a "CHECK" or "TRBL" condition if covers are
removed.
If a loss of supervision occurs on a transmitter programmed for Fire, it reports in Contact ID as a Fire Trouble
(373), not Loss of Supervision (381), to the central station.
Transmitter Battery Life
Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last from 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific
wireless device being used. 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.
The wireless system can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing the dealer or user of the system time to
arrange a change of battery and maintain protection for that point within the system.
Some transmitters (e.g., 5802, 5802CP, and 5803) contain long-life but nonreplaceable batteries. At the end of their life,
the complete unit must be replaced (and a new serial number enrolled at the control).
