VISTA-50P/VISTA-50PUL Installation and Setup Guide

Exception Reports

This option allows the reporting of openings and
closings to the central station only if the arming and
disarming occurs outside of the predetermined opening
and closing time windows. It is set in partition-specific
field 2*09.
The system can be programmed to send Failed to Open
and Failed to Close reports if the partition is not armed
or disarmed by the end of the corresponding time
window.
Limitation of Access of Users by Time
A user's access to the system can be limited to a certain
time period. Outside this time, that user's code is
inactive. The system provides up to 8 access schedules,
each consisting of two time windows (typically one for
opening, one for closing) for each day of the week and
two time windows for holidays.
The access schedules are programmed in the #80 Menu
Mode, and enabled when a user's access code is added to
the system.
If a user tries to operate the system outside the
schedule, the alpha keypad displays "Access Denied."

Time Window Definitions

Scheduled events are based on time windows, (periods
of time) during which an event may take place. The
system supports up to 20 time windows, each defined by
a "Start" time and a "Stop" time.
Scheduling Example
A store that has the following hours:
Monday to Friday
Saturday
Sunday
Holidays
The owner desires the following time windows to allow
time for employees to arm or disarm the system:
Monday to Friday Open (disarm)
Close (arm)
Saturday Open (disarm)
Close (arm)
Sunday & Holidays Closed
6-2
9am to 6pm

Time-Driven Events
The system can automatically activate and de-activate
relays at predetermined times to turn lights or other
devices on and off. The Time-Driven events can be
activated at different times in relation to a time
window:
• At the beginning of a time window
• At the end of a time window
• During a time window (on at beginning of window,
off at end)
• At both the beginning and end of the time window
(e.g., to sound a buzzer at the beginning and end of a
coffee break)
The system can perform the same actions on a daily
basis, or can perform an action only once (e.g., turn on
the porch light this Wednesday at 8:00 PM).
The system also provides up to 20 programmable
"timers" available to the end user for the purpose of
activating output devices at preset times and days.
The windows are shared by all 8 partitions, and are
used when programming the various schedules
(open/close, limitation of access), as well as for Time-
Driven event control.
For this schedule, the four time windows need to be
programmed:
Window Start Stop
1 8am 9am
2 9am 10am
3 4pm 4:30pm
4 6pm 6:30pm
Using the #80 Menu Mode, the installer can program
open/close schedules by assigning a time window to a
day of the week (windows are entered as 2-digit entries)
Mon Tue Wed Thu
Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl
01/04 01/04 01/04 01/04
NOTE: 00 is entered for those days on which the store
is closed.
Employees can arm and disarm the system, when
programmed, within the open and close time windows
without causing a report to be sent to the central
station (reporting by exception, field 2*09). The system
can be programmed to automatically arm/disarm in
case an employee fails to arm/disarm manually (auto-
arm/auto-disarm).
