About Macro Keys

The "A", "B", "C" or "D" keys can be used to automatically activate a series of
commands of up to 16 keystrokes, if programmed for this function. These keystrokes,
as a group, are called "macros" and are stored in the system's memory.
• Typical macro functions can include:
- Arming sequences: STAY, NIGHT-STAY, INSTANT, or AWAY
- Bypassing particular zone(s)
- Activating relay(s) for turning on (or off) lights, fans, etc.
• Up to four (VISTA-20P/PS Series) or two (VISTA-15P Series) macros can be
assigned – but no more than one macro to a key.
• Macros can be activated only by users with authority levels authorized to
perform the macro's function.
NOTE: The installer must activate the desired function key (using *57 Function
key Menu Mode) before macros can be assigned.
See the chart at the back of this manual for the key(s) assigned for macros.

2. Enter the macro number (1-4 for VISTA-20P/PS
Series; 1-2 for VISTA-15P Series) to be programmed at
the "Select Macro?" prompt. Remember, only one
macro can be assigned to each key.
3. If a macro has been previously defined, the keystrokes
are shown on the bottom line of the display; otherwise
the display is blank.
To exit this mode (and keep the existing macro
definition), press any key except the [∗] key. The
system returns to normal mode.
To define a macro for the selected key, press [∗] and
continue with the next prompt.
Enter the first of the series of desired commands, (do
not include your user code), then press/hold the "D" key
for at least two seconds to complete the first command.
This key terminates each command, and appears as an
"F" in the keypad display.
