Introduction
Integrating access control into your fire/burglary security installation requires preliminary
considerations as to the placement of devices and the assignment of privileges. This section
contains a simple guide for the security system installer to design and implement an
elaborate access control and traditional burglary security installation. This section covers, in
very simple steps, the fundamental concepts and strategies to install and configure an access
control and burglary system. The steps are illustrated with a graphical example of a site
layout that uses a VISTA control panel integrated with VistaKey Access Starter Kits.
We recommend that you review this section in its entirety so that you understand the
preliminary decisions that need to be made, and that you refer back to this section as needed
during the installation and programming of your system.
Overview
The VistaKey access control module is a single-door controller that is easy to install and
configure. It supports one proximity card reader with a Weigand-style interface. The system
uses the proven ADEMCO 34-bit proximity cards, which, when combined with the VISTA
control keypad(s), significantly enhance the security level of the installation. As an
integrated access system, the VistaKey gives full and versatile control of employee entrance
and egress at all times through a series of programmable time windows and time-driven
events. The system can manage up to 250 card users allocated in up to 8 access groups
operating a maximum of 8 access points.
Step One – Lay Out Access Control and Security System
The first step to implement an access control/fire burglary security installation is to
understand the customer's security needs: the set of conditions and privileges assigned to the
occupants or employees based on their status, assignments, and time schedules. This
includes interior and perimeter security aspects as well as the flow of occupant movement 24
hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays, vacations, and plant shutdown periods.
