UL The 4285/4286 VIP Module is not Listed for use
with the VISTA-128FBP/VISTA-250FBP Control Panel in a UL
installation.
• Supports the ADEMCO 4146 Keyswitch on any one of
the system's 8 partitions.
• Supports the PS24 Power Supply Module, which
supplies two 24VFW, 1.7A full-wave rectified, unfiltered
outputs.
Arming/Disarming and Bypassing
• Can arm the system with zones faulted (Vent Zone).
These zones are automatically bypassed and can be
programmed to automatically unbypass when the zone
restores.
• Can arm with entry/exit and interior type zones
faulted (Arm w/Fault). These zones must be restored
before the exit delay expires, otherwise an alarm is
generated.
UL • Vent zones cannot be used in UL installations.
• You must disable the Force Arm option (used in
conjunction with the Arm w/Fault option), in UL
installations.
• Provides global arming capability (ability to arm
all partitions the user code has access to in one
command).
• Can Quick Exit an armed premises without having to
disarm and then rearm the system.
• Can be armed in one of three STAY modes or Instant
modes, automatically bypassing specific burglary zones
regardless of the zone response type.
• Can automatically bypass specific zones if no one
exits the premises after arming (Auto-STAY). Auto-STAY
will not occur if the system is armed via an RF
transmitter, VIP module, scheduling, access control,
keyswitch, or
downloading.
• Can bypass a group of zones with one set of
keystrokes.
• Supports Exit Error Logic, whereby the system can
tell the difference between a regular alarm and an alarm
caused by leaving an entry/exit door open. If the system
is not subsequently disarmed, faulted entry/exit zone(s)
and/or interior zones are bypassed and the system arms.
• Supports Recent Close report, which is designed to
notify the central station that an alarm has occurred
within 2 minutes after the exit delay has expired.
Partitioning and Panel Linking
• Can control 8 separate areas (partitions)
independently, each functioning as if it had its own
separate control. All fire zones must be assigned to
partition 1.
• Provides a Common Lobby partition, which can be
programmed to arm automatically when the last partition
is armed, and to disarm when the first partition is
disarmed.
• Provides a Master partition (9), used for the
purpose of viewing the status of all partitions at the
same time.
• Can display fire, burglary, panic, and trouble
conditions at all other partitions’ keypads (selectable
option).
• Can "link" together up to 8 control panels. This
allows users to access and control from a keypad another
control panel.
| Section 1 - General
Description Scheduling
• Can automate system functions, such as arming,
disarming, and activation of outputs (e.g., lights).
• Provides access schedules (for limiting system
access to users by time).
• Provides an End User Output Programming Mode,
allowing the user to control outputs.
Access Control
• Supports up to 15 VistaKey modules (15 access
points) (VISTA-128FBP supports 8 modules), which are
used for
access control. It is a single-door access
control module.
• Support up to 500 access cards (250 for the
VISTA-128FBP).
• Supports ADEMCO PassPoint system via one VISTA
Gateway Module (VGM), for a fully integrated access
control system.
• Can store access control events in the event
log.
System Communication
• Provides supervision of the phone lines (main
and backup)
• Supports the 5140DLM optional backup dialer for
the second phone line.
• Supports ADEMCO Contact ID; ADEMCO High Speed;
ADEMCO Express; and 3+1, 4+1, and 4+2 ADEMCO and
Sescoa/Radionics Low-Speed formats.
The system is shipped defaulted for Contact ID
communication. It is the only format capable of
uniquely reporting all
250 zones, as well as openings and closings for
all 250 users. This requires central stations to be
equipped with the
ADEMCO 685 receiver using software level 4.10 or
higher to fully support all new
VISTA-128FBP/VISTA-250FBP
report codes. If you need to update your 685
receiver, contact your distributor.
• Can send messages such as alarms, opens/closes,
etc. to up to 8 paging services.
• Provides two paging formats (alphanumeric –
requires the VA8201 Alpha Pager Module; and numeric
– sent directly
by the control)
• Supports Dynamic Signaling feature, which
prevents redundant signals being sent to the central
station when both the built-in dialer and Long Range
Radio are used.
• Provides an Audio Alarm Verification (AAV)
option that permits voice dialog between an operator
at the central station and a person at the premises.
An AAV unit, such as Eagle model 1250, is required.
UL The Eagle Model 1250 AAV unit is not UL
Listed.
Downloading
• Supports upload and download capability.
• Can perform unattended downloading (no one at
the downloading computer).
• Provides an Installer Unattended Program Mode.
This allows the installer to program the download
phone number, subscriber number, and primary central
station receiver phone number without entering the
normal program mode.
• Can periodically and automatically perform a
scheduled download. UL Unattended and Scheduled
Downloading are not UL Listed features.
• Can download access control cardholder
information.
Event Log
• Provides an event log (history log) that can
store up to 1000 events (512 for the VISTA-128FBP).
• Can print the event log on a serial printer or
parallel printer using the VA8201 Alpha Pager
Module.
