VISTA-40 Summary of Connections Diagram........35
The purpose of this document is to provide a quick and easy way to program your entire system. A
recommended programming procedure is included, followed by a list of program fields with the corresponding
program group they belong to (system-wide, partition-specific, scheduling, etc.). Two program forms are
included. One contains all the programming fields, and the other contains the partition-specific fields. If you are
setting up a single-partition system, the partition-specific fields become system-wide fields.
Following the program forms are system layout worksheets. We recommend that you use these sheets to plan
your system before programming is performed. If you need further information about specific programming
options, see the ADEMCO VISTA-40 Installation and Setup Guide.
Make sure that one two-line alpha keypad is connected to the control and is set to device address "00."
Single-Partition System
The system default is for a single-partition system. Use the VISTA-40 SINGLE PARTITION PROGRAMMING
FORM when programming for single-partition usage. Follow the steps outlined in RECOMMENDED
PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE of this document for proper programming procedure.
Multiple-Partition System
You must enter the number of partitions you are using in data field 2*00 to set the system for multiple
partitions. Use the VISTA-40 SINGLE PARTITION and the PARTITION-SPECIFIC PROGRAM FORMS when
programming the system for multiple partitions. Follow the steps outlined in RECOMMENDED
PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE of this document for proper programming procedure.
