To add a replacement sensor to a Honeywell VISTA-20P, follow these steps:
1. Determine Sensor Type: Identify whether the replacement sensor is wired or wireless. The VISTA-20P supports both.
2. For Wired Sensors: - Power down the system by unplugging the AC power and disconnecting the battery. - Connect the new sensor to the appropriate zone terminals on the control panel. - Restore power and program the panel to recognize the new sensor.
3. For Wireless Sensors: - Install a wireless receiver like the Honeywell 5883H transceiver if not already present. - Enroll the wireless sensor in the system using the programming mode: - Enter the installer code followed by `800` to access programming. - Navigate to zone programming and assign the sensor to an available zone. - Enter the sensor’s serial number and configure its zone type. - Exit programming and test the sensor to ensure proper operation.
4. Test the Sensor: Trigger the sensor and verify that the panel registers the event correctly.
5. Save and Exit: Save the settings and exit programming mode.
This process ensures the new sensor is properly integrated into the system.
