Compatible Devices
• Supports up to 8 Addressable Keypads: 6148/6150 Fixed-Word Display Keypads, 6160/6164 Alpha
Keypads, 6128RF/6150RF Keypad/Transceivers
• Supports up to five 4219, 4229 addressable basic wired zone expander modules
• Supports 5881/5883 series receiver and 5800 series transmitters
• Outputs from up to 16 relays, two on-board triggers, and/or Powerline Carrier Devices (X-10 type)
-- Use any combination of 4204, 4229, 6164 relays and/or Powerline Carrier Devices.
-- Output functions (up to 48)
• Alarm power output provides a 12VDC, 2 AMP output that can drive compatible sounders with a
steady output for burglary/panic, or temporal pulse (3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses.
. .) for fire. Uses current limiting circuitry for protection.
• Auxiliary Power Output: 12VDC, 700 mA maximum, including output triggers.
• Backup Battery: Rechargeable (sealed lead-acid type) 12VDC, 6AH minimum.
• Audio Alarm Verification (using AAV module, such as ADEMCO UVS); can be used in conjunction
with an output trigger to permit voice dialog between an operator at the central station and a
person at the premises.
• Alternative Communication Media: Primary telephone number messages can be reported via ECP
connection to Ethernet TCP-IP Internet/Intranet Network Modules, or other network interfaces
(e.g., EUREKA)
• AC Power Supply: VISTA-48A: Plug-in 230VAC power pack, XF1 Model No. 60844CK, Ap11
V/99090/E148-36
VISTA-48E: 220VAC wired-in transformer, 16.5VAC 25VA
Important Installation Highlights (Installer Please Read)
• This system uses addressable keypads and Zone Expander Modules (see table of addresses in
Programming Overview section).
• Keypads must be set for addresses 16-23 (first keypad is address 16, which is different from
previous controls) and programmed in data fields *190-*196.
• Zone Expander Modules must be set for specific addresses (07-11), based on the zone numbers used
(see table of addresses in 4219/4229 Expansion Zones section).
• 4204 Relay Modules must be set for specific addresses (12-15; see Connecting Relay Modules
section).
• 6164 Keypads must be set for two addresses: a keypad address and a zone expander address (if
using the keypad’s expansion zones).
• This control will not power-up unless AC mains is connected (will not power-up on battery alone).
However, once the system is powered up, it will operate on battery power in the event of AC mains
loss.
• Relays have two programming menu modes: Use *79 Menu mode to map module addresses and
device (output) numbers. Use *80 Menu mode to define the output functions (see Output Device
Programming section).
• This system supports programmable function keys. Use *57 Menu mode to define the function keys
(see Function Key Programming section).
• This system provides various paging features. Refer to the Programming Overview section for a
summary on pager programming.
