Honeywell

Vista 20P

The Vista 15P and 20P share the same programming as they are essentially the same panel but with a different number of zones, users, etc. Ademco panels are much easier to programme with an alpha keypad.

Default Installer Code: 4112

Default Master Code: 1234

2) Zones 2+ can be setup for:

NO, short on alarm
NC, open on alarm
EOL, 2K Ohm resistor normal, alarm on open, trouble on short
DOUBLED, see diagram
BALANCED, see diagram

3) Fire zones, normal on 2K Ohm resistor, trouble on open, alarm on short

Zone expanders need to be setup with the dipswitches to select EOL/NC.

You can go back to the assigned partition by entering 0 as the partition or just wait a couple of minutes for it to time out.

Keypad Zones

First see if your keypad is compatible, it should have two extra terminals on the back for the zone. If it has NO and C it is for an output not a zone.

Wiring the zone

1) Wire the device across the ZN and - terminals with a 2K resistor in series.

2) If it's a powered device, you can also power it from the + and -.

Programming the keypad zone

1) Power cycle the keypad.

2) Hold down 1 and 3 for 3 seconds, within 30 seconds of power up.

3) CON ADDRESS / XX

Enter 16 to 23
* to save

4) E0 zone expander enabled/disabled.

Press 1 then * to enable

5) EXPANDER ADDRESS / 107

Whichever expander you choose (07, 08, 09 etc) will take up that expander slot. It will use the first zone, so if you leave it as 107 it will take up zones 9-16, and the keypad zone will be 9, the first zone.

Enter your selection and press *.

107 Zone 9
108 Zone 17
109 Zone 25
110 Zone 33

The zone is now setup as a keypad zone. Be sure to program it as a hardwired zone with a zone type and partition.

Zone Expanders

Vista 20P - 8 zones, expandable to 48.

These instructions are for a 4219, 8 zone expander.

Wire the expander

Mount the expander then wire the unit into the main panels keypad bus (red, black, yellow and green).

Address the expander

Use the dip switches to set the address, this will determine which zones are used for the expander. Switches 2-6 determine the zones. Expanders can be addressed from 7 (zones 9-16) to 11 (zones 40-48).

A 7: Zones 9-16, ON: 5 6 OFF: 2 3 4
A 8: Zones 17-24, ON: 2 3 4 6 OFF: 5
A 9: Zones 25-32, ON: 3 4 6 OFF: 2 5
A 10: Zones 33-40, ON: 2 4 6 OFF: 3 5
A 11: Zones 41-48, ON: 4 6 OFF: 2 3 5

The 4219 has a built in tamper reed, with a magnet attachment for the lid. You can disable the tamper on the dip switch by turning 8 on.

8 On: No tamper
8 Off: Tamper enabled

All zones wire in as either normally closed loops or 2K closed loops. For normally closed, turn 7 on.

7 On: Normally closed loops
7 Off: 2K Ohm closed loops

Basic Programming

Programming Mode

Default installer code 4112.

To enter programming mode

1) Enter with installer code, 4112 800.

2) The system should show *20.

To enter without installer code

1) Power system down.

2) Within 30 seconds of powering the system up hold down the # and * keys for 3 seconds.

3) The system should show *20.

To exit programming mode

1) To exit programming mode press *99.

2) If in a menu (such as zone programming), you may have to exit from there first; this is usually done by pressing 00*.

3) Pressing *98 will also exit programming mode but will not allow re-entry with the installer code.

Programming Rules

To programme a Vista 15/20, you need to press * or # and then a location number.

Pressing # then a location number will allow you to view that location, this can be useful for reading back the installer code or phone numbers.

Pressing * then a location will allow you to edit that location. Enter the data you need, then proceed to the next location you want to program or exit programming.

If at any point you have to press A, B, C, or D, it is referring to the 4 vertical function buttons to the left of the the number buttons. The top button being A.
