RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTION The Following Recommendations For The Location Of Fire And Burglary Detection Devices Help Provide Proper Coverage For The Protected Premises. Recommendations For Smoke And Heat Detectors With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
Section 1: GENERAL DESCRIPTION The VISTA-50P is an 8-Partition alarm control panel that supports up to 86 zones using basic hardwired, polling loop, and wireless zones. In addition, the control offers relay control and scheduling capabilities for automating system functions. The major system features are outlined below.
Page 14
8 Partitions Provides the ability to control 8 separate areas independently, each functioning as if it had its own separate control. Partitioning features include: • A "Common Lobby" partition, which arms automatically when the last partition (1-8) that shares the common lobby is armed and disarms when the first partition (1-8) that shares the common lobby is disarmed •...
Page 15
(e.g. lobby door). Each partition can be assigned one access control relay. Optional Keyswitch Supports the Ademco 4146 keyswitch on any one of the systems's 8 partitions. If used, zone 7 is no longer available as a protection zone. Voltage Triggers Provides a trigger connector whose pins change state for different conditions.

Section 2: PLANNING A PARTITIONED SYSTEM This section provides the following information: • Theory of partitioning • Setting up a partitioned system • Common Lobby Logic • Master keypad setup and operation Theory of Partitioning This system provides the ability to arm and disarm up to 8 different areas, each as if it had its own control.
Common Lobby Logic When an installation consists of a partition shared by users of other partitions in a building, that shared partition may be assigned as the "common lobby" partition for the system (program field 1*17). An example of this might be in a medical building where there are two doctor's offices and a common entrance area (see example that follows explanation).
Page 19
Example Here is an example of how the lobby would react in a typical setup. OFFICE #1 OFFICE #2 COMMON LOBBY MAIN ENTRANCE User #1 has access to Office #1 and the Common Lobby. User #2 has access to Office #2 and the Common Lobby. Office #1 is set up to affect the Common Lobby, but not arm it.
How User Access Codes Affect the Common Lobby Codes with "Global" Arming If a code is given "global arming" when it is defined (see Section 24: SECURITY ACCESS CODES ), the keypad will ask "Arm all?" or "Disarm all?" whenever the user tries to arm or disarm the partitions he has access to from an alpha keypad.

Compatible Polling Loop Devices 4197 Extender Module • Used to increase the polling loop current (64mA), to extend the polling loop wire run length, and/or to provide individual, electrically isolated loops. • Connects to the polling loop and is powered from panel's auxiliary power or by a separate power supply with battery backup.
Wireless may not be used in UL Commercial Burglary installations. Wireless Systems Available The VISTA-50P supports wireless zones which may be used exclusively or in addition to hardwire and/or polling loop zones. The system supports two different wireless systems which have many similarities, but notable differences in the programming of the transmitters for each system.
Wireless System Operation and Supervision • The receiver responds to status and alarm signals from wireless transmitters (@ 345MHz USA; 315MHz (5700 series) and 345 MHz (5800 series) Canada) within a nominal range of 200 feet, and relays this information to the control.
Page 55
Installation and Setup of the 4281/5881 Wireless Receivers 1. Mount the receiver(s). Receivers must be mounted externally to the control and can detect signals from transmitters within a nominal range of 200 feet. Take this into consideration when determining mounting location. 2.
Installing the 5800TM Module Installation of this module is necessary only if you are using one or more 5827BD Wireless Bi-directional keypads. The 5800TM must be located between one and two feet from the 4281 or 5881 receiver's antennas. The 5800TM must not be installed within the control cabinet.
The system House ID and the Device Address of the receiver are two different things. The House ID allows the system to identify transmitters with a matching House ID. If using 5700 series wireless systems, the DIP switches on the transmitters must match the system House ID programmed into the control.
5700 Series Transmitter Setup Each 5700 series transmitter has DIP switches to set both the transmitter's zone number (Transmitter ID) and the system House ID. The House ID will be the same for all transmitters and must match the House ID programmed into the system (via Device Programming) for the wireless receiver.
Wireless Zone Assignments for 5700 Series Transmitters Each wireless zone can be assigned any zone response type, such as Entry/Exit, Interior Follower, Perimeter, etc. (see the ZONE TYPES section for explanations of each zone type). For 5700 series transmitters, each response type uses a certain range of zone numbers.
Compatible 5700 Series Transmitters Model Product Zone Num. Description 5701 Panic Transmitter 62 or 63 • Programmable for either silent or audible 24 hour alarm. 5706 Photoelectric Smoke 48-55 • One piece smoke detector with built Detector in transmitter. • Built-in UL Listed 85 dB piezo electric alarm sounder and audible low battery warning.
5800 Series Transmitter Setup 5800 series transmitters have built-in serial numbers that must be "learned" by the system using the # 93 Menu mode programming, or input to the control via the downloader. 5800 series transmitters (except 5827 described separately) do not have DIP switches.
• Button type transmitters (ex. 5801, 5802, 5802CP & 5803) should be periodically tested by the user for battery life. Do not install batteries in wireless transmitters until ready to learn, as will be indicated under Programming the Wireless Transmitters later in this section. Though it is not critical to remove batteries after learning, it is recommended in order to avoid interference while learning additional transmitters.

Check-Out Procedure for Wireless Zones Go/No Go Test Mode Before mounting transmitters permanently, conduct Go/No Go tests to verify adequate signal strength and reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary. During this mode, wireless receiver gain is reduced by 50%. Testing in this mode assists in determining good mounting locations for the transmitters and verifies that the RF transmission has sufficient signal amplitude margin for the installed system.
