VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN Installation and Setup Guide
Zone Monitor Features
•
Provides automatic high loop resistance detection on hardwired zones 2–6, and displays a CHECK message for the
affected zone when the system is in the disarmed state.
•
Contains a Hardwire Short Detection circuit for zones 1-6
it sends a sensor Trouble message to the Central Station when the system is in the disarmed state. At the same time
a CHECK message is displayed on the keypad.
•
Hardwire Short Detection is disabled on any zone programmed for FIRE (Zone type 09).
•
Either condition (high resistance or short) detected on any zone, prevents the system from being armed until the
offending condition is cleared. Conversely, when the system is armed, and these conditions occur, an alarm is
generated.
Exit Error False Alarm Prevention Features
•
Enables the system to determine the difference between an actual alarm and an alarm caused by leaving an
entry/exit or interior zone open after the Exit Delay expires. If not disarmed in time, an alarm sounds and an Exit
Error report is sent to the Central Station.
•
An exit alarm condition also occurs if an entry/exit or interior zone re-opens within 2 minutes after the end of an
Exit Delay.
•
The system provides an automatic Exit Delay Reset feature that allows the user to exit (fault), close the door
(restore the fault), then re-enter (fault again) the premises within the exit delay time period. Upon re-entering, a
new exit delay time period is begun with the keypad annunciating three rapid beeps. This feature only resets the
exit delay time once for each arming session.
Optional Output Relays and Powerline Carrier Devices (X10 type)
The VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN supports the following optional output relays and Powerline Carrier devices (X10 type):
•
Maximum of 4 output devices
•
Up to 4 relays using one 4204 Relay Module
•
Up to 2 relays using one 4229 Zone/Relay Module
•
Up to 4 Powerline Carrier devices (you must subtract the number of relay outputs actually used by the 4204 or 4229
modules, if used).
•
Actions are programmable to respond to zone activity or manual keypad entries.
Powerline Carrier devices require the use of the optional 4300 Transformer Module instead of the supplied
1321/1321CN AC Transformer.
Optional VIP Module
•
The VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN supports the ADEMCO 4285/4286 VIP Module (refer to Section 8: 4285/4286 VIP
Module for further information).
•
Provides access to the system via on-premises or off-premises phones for arming, disarming, etc., plus control of
relay outputs and Powerline Carrier devices.
Paging Feature
If programmed, the paging feature allows certain system conditions to be reported to a pager. Up to 16 digits may be
programmed to be sent as a message to the pager. A 7-digit code following the programmed message indicates the type of
condition that has occurred.
Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) Option
•
Provides a programmable Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) option, which can be used in conjunction with an output
relay to permit voice dialog between an operator at the Central Station and a person at the premises.
•
This AAV option must be used with a relay unit, such as an Eagle Model 1250.
U L
The AAV option may not be used in UL installations.
Optional Long Range Radio
Allows all messages that have been programmed to go to the primary telephone number to also be sent to any ECP-
operational radio (such as the 7835C, 7720PLUS, and 7820) for transmission to the Central Station.
