automating system functions. The major system features are outlined below.
New Features
This version of the VISTA-120 has enhanced features not found in the prior version. These enhancements
include the following:
• Support for unique features of 5800EU supervised
wireless system, including RF jamming detection
and processing, activation of RF wireless siren,
and more frequent supervision.
• Expansion of the number of programmable
outputs from 32 relays (on 4204s) to 96 via polling
loop support of up to 64 4101SN programmable
relays and/or open collector outputs on 4208UXM
Mk3 zone expander modules (4 per module).
• Integration of VISTA-120 with PassPoint Access
Control System so that VISTA-120 status/users
can influence/control PassPoint ACS and unused
PassPoint zones can become part of VISTA-120's
complement of protection zones.

• Support for faster (8x) processing of polling loop
sensor zone faults for serial number address
devices
• Expansion of the number of zone lists for use with
programmable outputs from 8 to 15
• Optional limit on the number of zones that may be
bypassed per partition
• Optional use of the printer port to transmit ASCII
Contact ID messages to computer systems,
communication networks, and other
communication media
• Provision of a Contact ID data packet on the
keypad bus for interface to communication
networks and other communication media
