VISTA-40 Installation and Setup Guide
A-2
UL611/UL1610 Central Station Burglary Alarm
Follow the instructions for UL609 Local installations given above.
For Grade A Service:
• You must use the VISTA-40 dialer with a 7720 Long Range Radio.
• Connect the control’s burglary/audible panic alarm trigger (on J7 header) and the 659EN’s phone line monitor
output to the 7720. The 7720 will send a report to the central station when a telephone line fault condition is
detected.
• Also connect the 7720’s radio fault output to one of the VISTA-40 EOLR-supervised zones (i.e., 1-8). Program this
zone for a trouble by day/alarm by night (type 05) or a 24-hour alarm (type 07, 08) response to radio faults.
• Program the control’s dialer to send Burglary Alarm, Trouble, Opening/Closing, and Low Battery reports.
For Grade AA Service:
Follow the instructions for Grade A service, except use the 7920SE in place of the 7720.
California State Fire Marshal (CSFM) and UL Residential Fire Battery Backup
Requirements
The California State Fire Marshal and UL have regulations that require all residential fire alarm control panels to have
backup battery with sufficient capacity to operate the panel and its attached peripheral devices for 24 hours in the
intended standby condition, followed by at least 4 minutes in the intended fire alarm signaling condition.
The VISTA-40 can meet this requirement without using a supplemental power supply, provided that the panel’s outputs
(including the current drawn from the auxiliary power output terminals) are limited as shown below:
• Output current is limited to 750mA maximum total auxiliary power, polling loop, and bell output current.
• Maximum auxiliary current is 300mA (including polling loop current).
• A 14AH battery is used. (Yuasa model NP7-12 recommended; use two connected in parallel.) A dual-battery harness
is provided with the 4100EOLR Resistor Kit (kit also contains EOL resistors having spade lug/heat shrink tubing
construction approved by UL and CSFM for fire zone usage). Both batteries fit inside the panel’s cabinet.
