Compatibility

The below listing identifies the alarm systems that the 6270 can

interface with, the maximum number of 6270s that can be used with

each system, and the minimum alarm panel software revision level

for compatibility.

MAXIMUM NUMBER MINIMUM SOFTWARE

ALARM SYSTEM

OF 6270s REVISION LEVEL

VISTA-20PS 2 All Levels

VISTA-128BP 3 2.4

VISTA-128FBP 3 1.6

VISTA-250BP 3 2.4

VISTA-250FBP 1 1.5

FA168CPS 2 All Levels

FA1660C 3 2.4

FA1700C 1 1.5

On all panels except the VISTA-20PS and FA168CPS, you may obtain

the software revision level of the alarm panel by entering the program

mode and then entering

#92

on the keypad. The second line of the

keypad displays the software revision level (without the decimal point).

ECP Error

The message “ECP Error” will be displayed at the top of the screen (except for

the Home screen) when the 6270 cannot communicate with the alarm panel.

This may be caused by and incorrect ECP address in the 6270 or because AUI

type devices have not been enabled in the panel. While this message is being

displayed, you must use the 6270 default code of “4140” any time the 6270

requests an authorized code.
