Wiring Burglary and Panic Devices to Zones 1-8
The maximum zone resistance is 100 ohms for zones 1, 2 and 8, and 300 ohms for all other zones (excluding the
2K EOL resistor).
To wire burglary and panic devices to zones 1-8, connect sensors/contacts to the hardwire zone terminals (15 through
27). Connect N.C. and N.O. devices as follows:
• Connect N.C. devices in series with the high (+) side of the loop. The 2K EOL resistor must be connected in series
with the devices, following the last device.
• Connect N.O. devices in parallel (across) the loop. The 2K EOL resistor must be connected across the loop wires
at the last device.
Using 2-Wire Smoke Detectors on Zones 1 and 2
Zone 1 and 2 can support up to 16 2-wire smoke detectors each (32 total).
The alarm current on zones 1 and 2 supports only one smoke detector in the alarmed state.
When assigned zone type 9 or 16, the second entry of a User Code + off at a keypad interrupts power to these zones to
allow detectors to be reset following an alarm.

• These smoke detectors are UL Listed for use with the Vista-32FB and are the only 2-wire smoke detectors that
may be used.
• A combination of heat detectors and smoke detectors is not permitted on a zone programmed for fire
verification.
• Fire installations require the use of a synchronization module to synchronize the sounders and strobes on the
system.
Wiring 2-Wire Smoke Detectors to Zones 1 and 2
2K EOL resistors must be used on fire zones and must be connected across the loop wires of each zone at the
last detector.
To wire 2-wire smoke detectors to zone 1 and/or zone 2, perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Select 2-wire smoke detectors from the list of compatible detectors.
2 Connect 2-wire smoke detectors across zone 1 (terminals 15 and 16), and/or zone 2 (terminals 17 and 18) as
shown in Figure 3-12. Observe proper polarity when connecting the detectors.
3
Connect the EOL resistor at the last detector in the loop across the zone 1 terminals. The EOL resistor
must be connected across the loop wires at the last detector.
