NOTE: This manual describes features of Vista-120 with software revision "WAVIS120-14." New features included in this version are indicated by margin lines. The VISTA-120 is an 8-Partition alarm control panel that supports up to 128 zones using basic wired, polling loop, and wireless zones.
Page 11
32 of these zones can be used as if they were basic number across all partitions, and will only utilise wired zones, as long as they are within VISTA-120's one user "slot" in the system. Certain characteristics total capacity of 128 protection zones.

SECTION 2 Planning A Partitioned System This section provides the following information: • Theory of partitioning • Setting up a partitioned system • Common Area 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 Area Logic When an installation consists of one or more partitions shared by users of other partitions in a building, those shared partitions may be assigned as the "common area" partitions for the system (programme fields 1*11, 1*14, 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 16
Example Here is an example of how the area would react in a typical setup. OFFICE #1 OFFICE #2 COMMON AREA MAIN ENTRANCE User #1 has access to Office #1 and the Common Area. User #2 has access to Office #2 and the Common Area. Office #1 is set up to affect the Common Area, but not arm it.
Page 17
How User Access Codes Affect the Common Area 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 a keypad.
Master Keypad Setup and Operation Although this system has eight actual partitions, it provides an extra partition strictly for the purpose of assigning keypads as "Master" keypads for the system. Any keypad assigned to Partition 9 in #93 Device Programming mode will become a "Master" keypad.
• Autobypass by User (not sent if using ADEMCO High Speed format • Autobypass by Zone (Sent as regular alarm if using ADEMCO High Speed format) • Bypass reports NOTE: If field *07 is enabled and field 1*20 is not enabled, then faults remaining in the exit route at the end of the exit delay will cause an immediate alarm.
Page 20
Cross-Zoning The Cross-Zoning feature is designed so that a combination of two zones must be faulted within a five minute period to cause an alarm on either zone. This prevents momentary faults from causing an alarm condition. You can select four pairs of cross zones, keeping in mind the following: •...

Press 0 repeatedly to display "DEVICE PROG?". DEVICE PROG? Press 1 to enter DEVICE PROGRAMMING mode. 1=YES 0=NO The device address identifies the device to the control.
Relay Programming The system supports up to 32 X-10 and/or relay outputs, plus up to 64 polling loop trigger/relay outputs. Once a device is programmed, there is no distinction between an X-10, triggers, or relay output device. Relays can be used to perform different functions and actions. Each relay must be programmed to begin one of four types of ACTIONS at a designated START event, and end that ACTION at a designated STOP event.
The “ZONE TYPE” option functions independently of the “EVENT/ZONE LIST” combination. b.PARTITION No. (P). The device's "Start" ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION may be limited to an occurrence on either one partition (1-8) or any partition (0). The "STOP" programming determines when and under what conditions the STOP (STP): device will be de-activated.

Time Windows Definitions Time Windows • Scheduled events are based on time windows, which are simply periods of time during which an event may take place. Time windows are defined by a start time and stop time. The system supports up to 20 Time Windows. The windows are shared by the 8 partitions, and the windows are used for open/close schedules as well as for time driven event control.
Open/Close Schedule Definitions General • The Open/Close scheduling is controlled by one of three individual schedules. Each schedule consists of one time window for openings and one time window for closings. There are three types of schedules available: Daily, Holiday, and Temporary. Daily Schedule •...
Example of Open/Close Exception Reporting & Scheduling 6:01PM 5:59AM 9:01AM 3:59PM 6:01PM 5:59AM "Early opening" reports Opening Window Auto-disarm delay begins . Closing Window Auto-arm delay begins will be sent if system No reports sent Auto-disarm occurs after delay. No reports sent Auto-arm warning begins.
Steps To Programming Scheduling Options To use #80 Scheduling Menu Mode, do the following: Using the worksheets: Define time windows (up to 20) Define the daily open/close schedules (one schedule per day, per partition) Define the holidays to be used by the system (up to 16) Define the holiday schedules (up to 8, one per partition) Define temporary schedules Define limitation of access times (up to 8 schedules)
The system provides 20 time windows that are defined with start and stop times. Time Windows These windows are used for various open/close and access schedules, as well as for Definitions output controls and are the basis of the scheduling system. These windows are shared Worksheet among all 8 partitions.
Programming Time Windows Enter Scheduling Mode by entering the installer code + # + 80. The keypad will display the Time Window programming prompt. Time Window ? Enter 1 at this main menu prompt to programme time 1 Yes 0 = No windows.
Programming Open/Close Schedules Each partition can be assigned one daily open/close schedule, plus a holiday open/close schedule. Temporary schedules are programmed separately, using the #81 Temporary Schedule Menu Mode. To programme additional open/close schedules, see the Time Driven Events section. After entering Scheduling Menu Mode, press 0 until the O/C Schedules prompt appears.
Holiday Definitions & Schedule Worksheet Hol. Partition Month/Day Programming Holiday Schedules Up to 16 holidays can be defined for the system. After entering Scheduling Menu Mode, press 0 until the Holidays ? prompt appears. Holidays ? Enter 1 to programme holiday schedules. 1 Yes 0 = No HOLIDAY NUMBER ?
Time-Driven Events These are the schedules used to activate outputs, bypass zones, etc. based on a time schedule. There are 20 of these events that may be programmed for the system, with each event governed by the previously defined time windows. The actions that can be programmed to automatically activate at set times are relay commands, arm/disarm and zone bypassing commands, and open/close access conditions.
Action Code Action Specifier Auto bypass - Zone list Zone list # Auto unbypass - Zone list Zone list # Open/Close Windows Activation time 3 (During) is the only valid choice for these commands. Action Code Action Specifier Enable Opening Window by partition Partition(s) Enable Closing Window by partition Partition(s)
Time-Driven Event Programming The following schedules can be used to activate outputs, bypass zones, arm/disarm the system, etc. based on a time schedule. Up to 20 events can be programmed for the system. Time windows must first be defined in order to be used to trigger events.

Limitation of Access by Time Worksheet Limitation of Access is a means by which a user's access code is limited to working during a certain period of time.. The system provides 8 Access Schedules, each of which consists of two time windows for each day of the week and two time windows for holidays (typically one for an opening time window and the second for a closing time window).
#81 Temporary Schedule Menu Mode Each partition can be assigned a Temporary Schedule which will override the regular open/close schedule (and the holiday schedule). This schedule takes effect as soon as it is programmed and remains active for up to one week. Partition/Windows Disarm Window Start Time HH:MM...
Programming Temporary Schedules Enter [Security Code] + # + 81 to enter this mode. Note that only users with authority level of manager or higher can programme temporary schedules. Temporary schedules only affect the partition from which it is entered. Temporary schedules can also be reused at later dates simply by scrolling (by pressing #) to the DAYS? prompt (described below) and activating the appropriate days.
#83 User Scheduling Menu Mode The system provides up to 20 "timers" which will be available to the end user for the purpose of controlling output devices (4204 relays or Powerline Carrier devices (e.g., X-10). These timers are analogous to the individual appliance timers that might be purchased at an electrical appliance store.
