RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTION
The Following Recommendations for the Location of Fire and Burglary Detection
Devices Help Provide Proper Coverage for the Protected Premises.
Recommendations For Smoke And Heat Detectors
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations
contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and
areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detector should be installed outside of
each separate sleeping area, and on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit, including
basements. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not
normally recommended.
For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room,
dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and
attached garages.
In addition, we recommend the following:
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly or completely
closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside may not wake up
the sleeper if the door is closed.

• Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms
where electrical appliances (such as
portable heaters, air conditioners or
humidifiers) are used.
• Install a smoke detector at both ends of a
hallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet
(12 meters) long.
• Install smoke detectors in any room where
an alarm control is located, or in any room
where alarm control connections to an AC
source or phone lines are made. If detectors
are not so located, a fire within the room
could prevent the control from reporting a
fire or an intrusion.
THIS CONTROL COMPLIES WITH NFPA
REQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPORAL PULSE
SOUNDING OF FIRE NOTIFICATION
APPLIANCES.
Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or
commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a
multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be
sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are
normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).

PROGRAMMING MODE COMMANDS
Compatibility: This document applies to systems with microprocessor version 9.1 or higher.
TO ENTER PROGRAMMING MODE (using an alpha keypad connected to the control):
A. POWER UP, then press [,] and [#] at the same time, within 50 seconds of powering up (this method must be used if ,98
was used to exit program mode). OR
B. Enter Installer Code (4112) then 8 0 0.
PROGRAMMING COMMANDS
Task
Command/Explanation
Go to a Data Field
Press [∗∗∗∗] + [Field Number], followed by the required entry.
Entering Data
When the desired field number appears, simply make the required entry. When the last entry
for a field is entered, the keypad beeps three times and automatically displays the next data
field in sequence. If the number of digits that you need to enter in a data field is less than the
maximum digits available (for example, the phone number fields *41, *42), enter the desired
data, then press [∗ ] to end the entry. The next data field number is displayed.
Review a Data Field
Press [#] + [Field Number].
Data will be displayed for that field number. No changes will be accepted in this mode.
Deleting an Entry
Press [∗∗∗∗] + [Field Number] + [∗∗∗∗]. (Applies only to fields ∗40 thru *46, *94, and pager fields)
Initialize Download ID
Press ∗∗∗∗96. Initializes download ID and subscriber account number.
Reset Factory Defaults
Press ∗∗∗∗97. Sets all data fields to original factory default values.
Zone Programming
Press ∗∗∗∗56. Zone characteristics, report codes, alpha descriptors, and serial numbers for 5800
RF transmitters.
Function Key Programming Press ∗∗∗∗57. Unlabeled keypad keys (known as ABCD keys) for special functions
Zone Programming
(Expert Mode)
Press ∗∗∗∗58. Same options as *56 mode, but with fewer prompts. Intended for those familiar
with this type of programming, otherwise *56 mode is recommended.
Output Device Mapping
Press ∗∗∗∗79. Assign module addresses and map individual relays/powerline carrier devices
Output Programming
Press ∗∗∗∗80. 4229 or 4204 Relay modules, Powerline Carrier devices, or on-board triggers
Zone List Programming
Press ∗∗∗∗81. Zone Lists for relay/powerline carrier activation, chime zones, pager zones, etc.
Alpha Programming
Press ∗∗∗∗82. Zone alpha descriptors
IP/GSM Programming
Press ∗∗∗∗29. For programming the IP/GSM options.
Exit Program Mode with
installer code lockout
Press ∗∗∗∗98. Exits programming mode and prevents re-entry by: Installer Code + 8 0 0.
To reenter programming mode, the system must be powered down, then powered up. Then
use method A above. See field *88 for other *98 Program mode lockout options.
Exit Program Mode
Press ∗∗∗∗99. Exits program mode and allows re-entry by: Installer Code + 8 0 0 or method A
above.
Scheduling Mode
Enter code + [#] + 64. Create schedules to automate various system functions.
Site-Initiated Download
Installer code + [#] + 1 (perform while system is disarmed and in normal mode)
AVS QUICK PROGRAMMING COMMANDS (for AAV sessions using the AVS system)
For controls with the following firmware revision levels, these commands automatically configure the control for AVS
operation. VISTA-15P = version 6.0 or higher; VISTA-20P = version 7.0 or higher
• installer code + [#] + [0] + 3: enable AVS operation
• installer code + [#] + [0] + 4: enable AVS operation and enable panels sounds on the AVST speaker
• installer code + [#] + [0] + 5: remove all programming options set by [#] + [0] + 3 quick command
• installer code + [#] + [0] + 6: remove all programming options set by [#] + [0] + 4 quick command
Refer to the AVS SYSTEM ENABLE and QUICK PROGRAMMING COMMANDS section for details on the specific options
that are set with each command, depending on the control used.
To select the AAV session communication path (phone line/communication device), see field ∗55 Dynamic Signaling Priority.
To enable AAV operation, use ∗91 Options field (option 4).
SPECIAL PROGRAMMING MESSAGES
•••• OC = OPEN CIRCUIT (no communication between Keypad and Control).
•••• EE or ENTRY ERROR = ERROR (invalid field number entered; re-enter valid field number).
•••• After powering up, AC, dI (disabled) or “Busy Standby vx.x (firmware revision) Dl will be displayed after approximately 4
seconds. This will revert to a “Ready” message in approximately 1 minute, which allows PIRS, etc. to stabilize. You can
bypass this delay by pressing [#] + [0].
NOTE for CANADIAN PANELS: Power up time is 2 minutes, and Contact ID report code 305 System Reset is sent if the
[#] + [0] command is not performed before the 2 minutes expires.
•••• If E4 or E8 appears, more zones than the expansion units can handle have been programmed. The display will clear after
you correct the programming.
IMPORTANT: The Real-Time Clock must be set before the end of the installation. See procedure in the Setting the Real-Time
Clock section of this manual.
