• Burglary Notification Appliance Circuits must be programmed for a timeout of 16 minutes or longer.
• Commercial fire alarm systems require Notification Appliance Circuits to be supervised.
Notification Appliance Circuit Supervision
The VISTA-128FBPN monitors the Notification Appliance Circuits wiring for open and short circuit faults while the
output is inactive. The system provides a trouble indication (Zone 970 Bell 1; 971 Bell 2) when an open occurs. When a
short occurs between the Bell (+) and Bell (-) terminal wiring, or between the Bell (+) terminal wiring and earth ground
the system provides a trouble indication (972 Earth Ground).
The VISTA-128FBPN indicates the trouble condition regardless of whether the system is armed or disarmed. The zone
displays on the keypads, reports to the event log, and transmits to the central station (if programmed) on Partition 1.
The trouble is cleared from the display by entering the user code + OFF.

• Use only UL Listed sounding devices for UL installations.
• In Commercial Fire installations, the 4204CF cannot be used to drive sounders in the same audible area as
sounders connected to the alarm outputs of the control panel.
Synchronization Requirements for Commercial Fire
Notification Appliance Circuit outputs must be wired to a Sync Module if more than one device is used. Follow
instructions provided with Sync Module. Be sure to use the compatible Sync Module for the Alarm Indicating Device
selected.
