Section 1. GENERAL INFORMATION
SUMMARY OF SYSTEM FEATURES
The VISTA-40 Control is a microprocessor based, programmable, partitioned system, and features EEROM
memory technology (power loss does not result in the loss of programmed data).
Before installing this partitioned system, become completely familiar with the partitioning concepts,
including zone distribution (each zone can be assigned to only one partition), output relay features, user code
usage and authority levels, and the user-friendly menu mode of programming.
NOTE: Throughout this manual, the term "alpha keypad" refers equally to the 6139 alpha keypad or 6139AV
voice/alpha keypad.
The following lists the major features of the VISTA-40 system.
System Features
Zones Supported
¥ Supports up to 9 traditional wired zones of protec-
tion.
¥ Expandable to 64 zones using combinations of
2-wire polling loop devices, and/or 5700 or 5800
series wireless transmitters. Supports 4281 or 5881
(5882 in Canada) series wireless receivers.
¥ Zones can be distributed among 2 logical partitions of
operation.
¥ Supports up to sixteen 2-wire smoke detectors
(zone 1).
¥ Other zones can be fire zones using 4-wire smoke
and heat detectors and/or polling loop detectors.
¥ Supports up to 50 latching type 2-wire glass break
detectors on zone 8.
Audio Alarm Verification (AAV)
¥ This option allows the central station to "listen-in" at
the premises during an alarm, when used with the
optional Ademco 2-Way Voice Interface Module (VIM)
and at least one 6139AV 2-way Voice keypad (up to
six can be used). After an alarm report is successfully
sent to the central station, the local alarm sounder is
automatically silenced and a trigger can be activated
by the central station operator allowing the operator
to hear what is happening at the premises and speak
directly to persons on the premises via the
microphone and speaker built into the 6139AV
keypad.
Phone Access And Voice Response
¥ The VISTA-40 supports the optional 4285 Phone
Module. The 4285 is not permissible in UL
installations. This add-on accessory permits phone
access to the security system for arming/disarming
and for performing most function commands using
the telephone keypad, with voice annunciation being
provided over the phone as confirmation after any
function command entered.
Note: The phone module can be installed in either
partition, and can be used to control the other
partition using the GOTO command.
Output Control
¥ Supports up to 8 output devices (optional 4204
relays or X-10 devices) that can be activated by
system events.
The X-10 devices are not UL Listed
for fire and burglary applications.
Addressable Devices
¥ Supports up to sixteen addressable devices (any
combination of remote keypads, RF receivers and
relay output modules ).
Keypads
¥ Supports the following remote keypads: Ademco
6128, 6137, 6139, 6139AV
.
For use with the Ademco VIM module.
Keyswitch
¥ Supports the 4146 keyswitch.
User Codes
¥ Supports up to 70 user allocations, maximum of 69 in
a given partition, each with various levels of authority.
Keypad Panic Keys
¥ Provides 3 keypad panic functions.
Global Arming
¥ Allows users to easily arm both partitions via keypad
prompts.
Quick Bypass (Forced Bypass)
¥ Quick (forced) bypass feature bypasses all faulted
zones with single key entry sequence.
Memory-Of-Alarm
¥ Memory-of-alarm feature, which, upon disarming the
system, automatically displays all zones that were in
an alarm condition while the system was armed.
Circuit Breakers
¥ Self-resetting circuit breaker protection eliminates
the need to replace blown cartridge fuses.
Built-in Users Manual
¥ Built-in Users Manual (6139, 6139AV only). By
depressing and holding any of the function keys on
the keypad for 5 seconds, a brief explanation of that
function will scroll across the alpha-numeric display.
