System Status Report Codes
Zone report codes are programmed using interactive
✱
56 or
✱
58 Zone Programming modes, while system
status (non-alarm) codes and restore codes are entered
in data fields *59 - *68, *70 - *76, *89. The actual report
code digits that you enter depend upon the particular
installation, and should agree with the Central Station
office receiving the signals.
3+1 or 4+1 Standard Format: Enter a code in the
first box: 1–9, A, B, C, D, E, or F. Enter #+10 for A (this
reports a 0 on some receivers), #+11 for B, #+12 for C,
#+13 for D, #+14 for E, #+15 for F.
An entry of 0 in the first box disables a report.
Entering 0 in the second box advance to the next field.
Expanded or 4+2 Format: Enter codes in both boxes
(first/second digits) for 1–9 or A–F, as described above.
A 0 in the first box disables a report. A 0 in the second
box eliminates the expanded message for that report.
ADEMCO Contact ID® Reporting: Enter a digit in
the first box to enable the zone to report. Use a
different digit for each zone until you have used up
available digits. If the number of zones exceeds the
number of available digits, begin with digit 1 again.
This is an “enabling” code only and is not the actual
code sent to the Central Station office. Entries in the
second boxes are ignored. An entry of 0 in the first box
disables the report.

Exit Error Report Code
0 = no report; 1-F = see description above
V20PSIA/V15PSIA: [1] Always enabled. Also see field *69.
After arming the system, entry/exit and interior zones
remaining open after exit delay expires cause an alarm
sound at the keypad and external sounder (keypad also
displays “EXIT ALARM”), and entry delay begins.
Disarming before the end of the entry delay stops the
alarm sounding and no message is sent to the central
station. The keypad will display “CA” (fixed-word) or
“ALARM CANCELED” (alpha display).
If the system is not disarmed before entry delay expires,
an “EXIT ALARM” message (V20PSIA/V15PSIA: also
zone alarm message) will be sent to the central station.
The keypad will display “EA” (fixed-word ) or “EXIT
ALARM” (alpha display), and alarm sounding continues
until the system is disarmed (or timeout occurs).
An Exit Alarm condition will also result if a fault occurs
in an exit or interior zone within 2 minutes following
the end of the exit delay, and an “EXIT ALARM”
message will be sent to the central station (except for
V20PSIA/V15PSIA, see field *69 Recent Closing
report).
With Contact ID format, the message will
contain the zone number and error code 374
(“ALARM–EXIT ERROR”).

Sent periodically to test that the communicator and

Note above *59. Frequency of report is set in Scheduling
mode (event 11) or by the following key commands:
installer code + [#] + 0 + 0 = test report sent every 24 hrs
installer code + [#] + 0 + 1 = test report sent once per week
installer code + [#] + 0 + 2 = test report sent every 28 days
Each of these modes sets schedule 32 (VISTA-20P) or 8
(VISTA-15P) to the selected repeat option; first test
report sent 12 hours after command†.
† NOTE: Make sure the Real-Time Clock is set to the proper
time before entering the test report schedule command to
ensure that test reports are sent when expected. (see Setting
the Real-Time Clock section)
