If field 3
∗
61 = 4, the auxiliary relay remains activated until User Code + # + 67 is entered. By default, the relay is set
to activate on alarm zones 1-8 with no timeout (field 3
∗
61 = 1).
When field 3
∗
61 = 1, the auxiliary relay can be programmed to give a brief activation for confirmation of arming ding
(field 3
∗
57) or Chime Mode (field 3
∗
59).

Trouble/Supervisory Activation
(3
∗
61 = 0) Steady activation in response to any zone or system related trouble condition or to any fire supervisory
condition. The auxiliary relay remains activated until all fault conditions have been corrected and a User Code + OFF
is entered.
4-Wire Smoke Detector Reset
(3
∗
61 = 2) Momentary (8-second) activation in response to a second entry of a User Code + OFF sequence following a
fire alarm condition. This interrupts power to 4-wire smoke detectors connected to hardwired zones 1-8 and polling loop
zones, allowing the detectors to be reset. Power to the detectors should be wired to the auxiliary relay and to Aux. Power
1 output, see Figure 3-9.
Battery Saver
(3
∗
61 = 3) When this option is selected, the auxiliary relay is normally activated (e.g., N.O. and pole contacts are
connected) and de-activates 4 hours after the start of AC Loss. Using this feature, non-critical loads, such as
supplementary keypads, can be disconnected from the auxiliary power outputs, allowing a smaller capacity battery to be
used. The relay re-activates within a few seconds after the AC power restores.

Telephone Line Connections
The VISTA-128FBPT/VISTA-250FBPT provides one main built-in dialer for communication to the central station and
one optional 5140DLM Backup Dialer, both supervised for voltage and current on the phone lines
Do not connect the system to telephone lines that require ground start service.
