About Alpha Descriptor Programming
This Interactive mode section provides instructions for programming alpha descriptors and
for adding custom words. This is recommended for systems using alpha keypads, and
necessary if a 4285/4286 VIP Module is used. Alpha descriptors cannot be displayed on fixed-
word keypads.
If you are using a 4285/4286 VIP Module, select from those words in the Alpha Vocabulary
list (on a following page) shown in boldface type. The VIP Module will not provide
annunciation of the other words.
If a VIP Module is added to an existing VISTA–10SE system, you must re-program the alpha
descriptors presently in the system, selecting from those words shown in boldface type in the
Alpha Vocabulary list. The VIP Module will not provide annunciation of any other words.
The ALPHA VOCABULARY LIST and CHARACTER CHART are on a following page.
Zone Descriptors
The
alpha
English-language descriptor/location of all protection zones, keypad panics, and RF
receiver supervision faults programmed into the system. Each descriptor can be composed
of a combination of words (up to a maximum of 3) selected from a vocabulary of words
stored in memory (see the list on a following page). In addition, up to 5 installer-defined
words can be added to those already in memory. Thus, when an alarm or trouble occurs in
a zone, an appropriate descriptor for that zone's location will be displayed at the keypad.
NOTE: Alpha descriptor entry can be done locally at the alpha keypad or remotely using
Programming Zone Descriptors
You can enter the descriptor when the zone is being defined in field 56, but we recommend
you do it using this 82 Menu mode.
To program zone descriptors, enter the 3-digit reference number for the desired word(s). The
3-digit number for each word is provided in the Alpha Vocabulary List on a following page.
