ZN LIST
Enter the desired zone list number (01-08). At the ENTER EVENT prompt,
enter the zone list event that will activate this output (0 = restore; 1 = alarm;
2 = fault; 3= trouble)
Press [∗] to continue and skip to the "Output Action" prompt.
"B" (if zone type was selected)
ENTER ZN TYPE
Enter the desired zone type. See list below *80 Worksheet for zone types.
At the PARTITION prompt, enter the partition in which this zone type will
occur (0 = any partition; 1 = partition 1; 2 = partition 2; 3 = partition 3).
Press [∗] to continue and skip to the "Output Action" prompt.

ZONE LIST NO.
Enter the zone list number (01-12) to program (or 00 to exit this mode).
Press [∗] to continue.
ENTER ZN NUM.
Enter each zone number (01-64†) to add to the zone list, followed by
pressing [∗] (example, 01∗, 02∗, 03∗).
Press 00 to continue.
† VISTA-20P = 01-64; VISTA-15P = 01-06, 09-34, 49-56.
IMPORTANT: Do not include fire zones in zone lists that are used to STOP
device actions.
DEL ZN LIST?

1 = delete this zone list; All zones in the zone list will be deleted.
[∗] to continue
DELETE ZONE?
0 = don't delete zones; save the entire zone list and return to the Zone List
No. prompt
1 = go to next prompt to delete zones

*82 Alpha Descriptor Programming

PRE-DEFINED DESCRIPTORS
PROGRAM ALPHA
0 = no (quit Alpha mode)
1 = yes
Press [∗] or [#] to continue.
CUSTOM WORDS
0 = no (continue to descriptor programming)
1 = yes (go to custom word programming)
Press 0 to program standard alpha descriptors. The system will then display
the descriptor for zone 1.
To program custom words, press 1 (custom words are described later).
Press [∗] to continue.
∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ZN 01
Descriptor screen for zone 1 appears. To program a descriptor (up to 3
words) for a zone, do the following:
1. Press [∗] plus the desired zone number (existing descriptor, if any, is
displayed), then press [∗] plus the zone number again (flashing cursor
appears).
2. a. Press [#] plus the 3-digit number from the Alpha Vocabulary List on
page 11 for the first word.
b. Press [6] to accept the word and move the cursor for the next word.
3. Repeat steps 2a and 2b for the second and third words (if used).
4. When all words have been entered, press [8] to save the descriptor for
that zone. The flashing cursor disappears.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 to assign a descriptor for the next zone.
6. When all descriptors have been entered, press [∗] + 0 + 0 (or simply
press [#]) after the last descriptor has been saved to return to the
PROGRAM ALPHA? prompt.
Enter 0 (no) at the prompt to exit this mode and return to Data Field mode.
