• Common characteristics of wireless zones

• Wireless systems available
• Installing the wireless receiver (4281/5881/5882EU)
• Installing the 5800TM Module
• Installing the wireless transmitters (5700/5800/5800EU series)
• Checkout Procedure for wireless zones (test modes)
• Supervised by control panel for check-in signals (except certain non-
supervised transmitters)
• Individually assignable to one of 8 partitions
The VISTA-120 supports wireless zones which may be used exclusively or in
addition to basic wired and/or polling loop zones. The system supports either of
two wireless systems (5700 series or 5800 series) which have many similarities,
but with notable differences in the programming of the transmitters for each
system.
The following families of receivers may be used with this system, but you can use
only one family of receivers in a given installation (i.e. you cannot mix 5700 with
5800):
5700 Series
Recvr Zones
4281L up to 4
4281M up to 8
4281H up to 63
• The receiver responds to status and alarm signals from wireless transmitters
[345MHz (5700 series), 345 MHz (5800 series) and 433.92MHz (5800EU
series)] within a nominal range of 60m, and relays this information to the
control.
• Each 345MHz supervised transmitter sends a supervisory signal to the
receiver every 70-90 minutes (433.92MHz transmitters transmit every 25
minutes). If, after a programmed interval of time (e.g., 12 hrs), the receiver
does not hear from a particular transmitter, the word CHECK or TRBL will
appear at the corresponding partition's keypad(s) accompanied by the zone
number in question. The trouble will not prevent you from arming the panel,
as long as the zone is first bypassed.
• If, within a programmed interval of time (e.g., 12 hrs), the receiver does not
hear from any of its transmitters, a CHECK or TRBL message will appear for
zones 988 (2nd receiver) or 990 (1st receiver) if zone type 05 is assigned to
these supervisory zones. This may be an indication that the wireless receiver
is not able to "hear" signals. The same indications are provided if the 5882EU
transceiver detects that it is being jammed by a source of RF energy that is
present for 30 seconds within any 60 second interval.
• The control checks the receiver connections about every 45 seconds. If the
panel has lost communication with the receiver, a CHECK or TRBL message
will appear for the receiver zone number (8xx, where xx = receiver's device
address) if type 05 is assigned to these supervisory zones. This may be an
indication that the wiring to the receiver is incorrect, or that the DIP switches
are not set for the same address the receiver was assigned to in the panel's
Device Programming mode.
• Two identical receivers can be used to provide either a greater area of
coverage, or to provide redundant protection.
• Any zone from 1-63 can be used as a 5700 series wireless zone. Any zone from
1-128 can be used as a 5800 series wireless zone, with the exception of zone 64
(reserved for a wireless keypad).
