About Automatic Paging

Your system may be set up to automatically send messages to several pagers (4 pagers
for VISTA-20P Series, 2 pagers for VISTA-15P Series) as certain conditions occur in
your system.
• The following events can be programmed by your installer to be sent to the pagers:
arming and disarming
arming/disarming from a keypad using a security code; auto-arming/disarming,
arming with assigned button, and keyswitch arming do not send pager messages.)
• You can also program the system to send an automatic pager message to alert you
in the event that someone has not arrived home (disarmed the system) within a
defined period of time (see the Scheduling section for details on programming a
"latch key report").
• Your installer programs the pager phone numbers and reporting events.
• The pager message consists of a 7-digit system status code that indicates the type of
condition that has occurred.
• An optional, predefined 16-digit character string can precede the 7-digit system
status code; these characters can consist of a PIN no., subscriber account no., or any
additional data that you may wish to have sent to the pager.
• The pager display format is as follows:
Optional 16 digits
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA – BBB – CCCC
A =
Optional 16-digits for
Account numbers,
PIN numbers, or any
other data;
programmed by the
installer, if required.
The 3-digit Event Codes (BBB) that can be displayed are:
911 =
Alarms.
The 4-digit number
(CCCC) following this
code is the partition no.
and zone no. that
caused the alarm.
Examples of typical 7-digit pager displays follow.
Ex. 1. 9 1 1 – 1 0 0 4 = R eporting of an alarm (911) caused by a fault on zone 4 on Partition 1 (1004).
