Transmitter Supervision
Supervised RF transmitters send a check-in signal to the receiver at 70–90 minute intervals. If at least one check-in is
not received from each supervised transmitter within a programmed period (field 1∗31), the “missing” transmitter
number(s) and “CHECK” or “TRBL” are displayed. Unsupervised RF transmitters may be carried off the premises.
Some transmitters have built-in tamper protection, and annunciate a “CHECK” or “TRBL” condition if covers are
removed.
If a loss of supervision occurs on a transmitter programmed for Fire, it reports in Contact ID as a Fire Trouble
(373), not Loss of Supervision (381), to the central station.
Transmitter Battery Life
Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last from 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific
wireless device being used. Factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature
may all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation.
The wireless system can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing the dealer or user of the system time to
arrange a change of battery and maintain protection for that point within the system.
Button-type transmitters (e.g., 5834-4) should be periodically tested, as these transmitters do not send supervisory
check-in signals.
To test the transmitters using the Transmitter ID Sniffer mode and the Go/NoGo Test Mode, see SECTION 10:
Testing the System for the procedures.

Installing Output Devices
The VISTA-128BPT/VISTA-250BPT support up to 96 outputs. Each device must be programmed as to how to act
(ACTION), when to activate (START), and when to deactivate (STOP). The 4204 and 4101SN devices may be used as
output devices.
Installing a 4204 Relay Module
U
LC
Relay modules have not been evaluated for ULC installations.
Each 4204 module provides 4 relays with Form C (normally open and normally closed) contacts.
The relay module will not operate until the device address you have set the DIP switches for is enabled in the
control’s Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode.
