Data Field Programming Procedures
Task Procedure
Go to a Data Field Press [
∗
] + [Field Number], followed by the required entry.
Entering Data When the desired field number appears, simply make the required entry. When the last entry for a field
is entered, the keypad beeps three times and automatically displays the next data field in sequence.
If the number of digits that you need to enter in a data field is less than the maximum digits available
(for example, the phone number fields *41, *42), enter the desired data, then press [
∗
] to end the entry.
Review a Data Field Press [#] + [Field Number].
Data will be displayed for that field number. No changes will be accepted in this mode.
Deleting an Entry Press [

transmitters.
✱
57 Function Key Programming Unlabeled keypad keys (known as ABCD keys) for special functions
✱
58 Zone Programming Same options as *56 mode, but with fewer prompts. Intended for those familiar with
(Expert mode) this type of programming, otherwise *56 mode is recommended.
✱
79 Output Device Mapping Assign module addresses and map individual relays/powerline carrier devices
✱
80 Output Programming 4229 or 4204 Relay modules, 6164 output relay, Powerline Carrier devices, or on-
board triggers
✱
81 Zone List Programming Zone Lists for relay/powerline carrier activation, chime zones, pager zones, etc.
✱
82 Alpha Programming Zone alpha descriptors
✱
83 Configurable Zone type Prog Attributes for configurable zone types
INITIALIZE DOWNLOAD and RESET DEFAULTS (complete Default Tables are listed on page 20)
✱
96 Initializes download ID and subscriber account number.
✱
97 Sets all data fields to original factory default values as follows:
The VISTA-12A has two unique sets (tables) of default entries.
Press ∗97 while in Program Mode, then press 1 or 2 to load the desired set of factory defaults (see Default Tables
listed on page 20). This resets all data fields to the respective default table values.
User Code Defaults: To reset only the user codes to default values, press ∗97, then press 3.
TO EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE:
✱
98 Exits programming mode and prevents re-entry by: Installer Code + 8 + 0 + 0. If
✱
98 is used to exit programming
mode, system must be powered down, and method 1 above used to enter the programming mode.
✱
99 Exits programming mode and allows re-entry by: Installer Code + 8 + 0 + 0 or method A above.
Special Messages
OC = OPEN CIRCUIT (no communication between keypad and Control).
EE or ENTRY ERROR = ERROR (invalid field number entered; re-enter valid field number).
After powering up, AC, dI (disabled) or Busy Standby and NOT READY will be displayed after approximately 4 seconds.
This will revert to a “Ready” message in approximately 1 minute, which allows PIRS, etc. to stabilize. You can bypass this
delay by pressing [#] + [0].
If E4 or E8 appears, more zones than the expansion units can handle have been programmed. Correct the programming
and then completely de-power and re-power the control to clear this indication and remove the disable indication.
