General Information
The VistaKey is a single-door access control module that, when connected to a fire/burglary
alarm system, provides access control of the protected premises. Multiple VistaKey modules
can be used with the alarm system to provide access control to more than one point.
The VistaKey module is part of the VistaKey-SK (Starter Kit). The VistaKey-SK contains all
of the components necessary for a minimum access point configuration installation (with
exception of mag locks or door strikes).
This Installation and Setup Guide is divided into sections that follow the logical progression
of a total VistaKey installation. This section contains general information, lists features, and
discusses compatibility issues. The sections that follow provide information about Access
Control Integration, Quick Installation, Detailed Installation, Programming, User
Commands, System Testing, and an Event Log description.
The VistaKey module contains three zones. These zones should ONLY be used for Access
U L
Control functions in UL installations. THESE INPUT ZONES ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR FIRE
AND BURGLARY APPLICATIONS IN UL INSTALLATIONS.
Do NOT use the VistaKey on an alarm panel that is connected to a PassPoint Access Control
System via a VISTA Gateway Module.
VistaKey Features
VistaKey features are as follows:
• Each VistaKey communicates with the alarm system control via a special global polling
protocol of the Vplex polling loop.
• In the event local power to the VistaKey is lost, the VistaKey module provides backup
monitoring of the access point door via a built-in Vplex device that is powered solely from
the polling loop. It is programmed as a new type of Vplex device as part of the control's
Vplex Device Programming. A serial number label is affixed to the VistaKey module for
manual entry of its serial number.
• The VistaKey can handle up to 250 cardholders.
• All configurable options for each VistaKey are accomplished via software, firmware, and
nonvolatile memory, eliminating the need for PC board jumpers.
