NOTE: All references in this manual for number of zones, number of user codes, number of access cards,
and the dialer queue capacity, use the VISTA-250BPT’s features. See SECTION 1: General Description for
the table listing the differences between the VISTA-128BPT and the VISTA-250BPT control panels.
Program Modes
There are two programming modes for the VISTA-
128BPT/VISTA-250BPT. These are the Data Field
Program Mode and the #93 Menu Mode. The Data Field
Program Mode is where many system options are
programmed. The #93 Menu Mode is an interactive
mode that requires a 2-line alpha keypad (6160).
The factory-loaded defaults (∗97) enable
keypad addresses 00-01 only. A keypad set to
one of these addresses must be used to
program the system initially.
Local keypad programming can be disabled
through Compass downloading software. If this
is done, Program mode can only be accessed
via the downloading software.
Entering and Exiting Programming Mode
Enter Programming mode using either method a or b:
a. Press both the [∗] and [#] keys at the same time
within 30 seconds after power is applied to the
control.
b. Enter the Installer Code + [8] + [0] + [0] + [0]
keys. The factory installer code can be changed
once in the Program mode (field ∗00).
NOTE: The default for the Installer Code is 4140.
Exit the Programming mode by either method a or b:
a. Press [∗] + [9] + [8]. Exiting by this method
prevents the installer code from being used to re-
enter Programming mode. Only method “a” can be
used to re-enter Programming mode.
b. Press [∗] + [9] + [9]. Exiting by this method
permits the installer code to be being used to re-
enter Programming mode.
Data Field Programming Mode
In the Data Field Program Mode you may access any
field simply by entering either [∗] or [#] + the field
number:
• To write or change information in a field press [∗] +
the field number (∗03).
• To read the information in a field press [#] + the
field number (∗03).
When the entries for a field are completed, the keypad
beeps three times and advances to the next field.

Programming Mode is entered.
The second and third pages of data fields are indicated
at the keypad by a 1 and 2, respectively, in front of the
2-digit field address. “ALT PROGRAM MODE” is
displayed along with a “100” or “200,” indicating which
page of program fields is accessed.
To access the next level of programming fields, perform
the following steps:
