Using 2-Wire Smoke Detectors on Zone 1
Zone 1 can support up to 16 2-wire smoke detectors.
The alarm current on zone 1 supports only one smoke detector in the alarmed state.

These smoke detectors are UL Listed for use with the VISTA-128BPT/VISTA-250BPT and are the only 2-wire
smoke detectors that may be used.
Wiring 2-Wire Smoke Detectors to Zone 1
2K EOL resistors must be used on fire zones and must be connected across the loop wires of each zone at the
last detector.
To wire 2-wire smoke detectors to zone 1, perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Select up to 16 2-wire smoke detectors from the list of compatible detectors.
2 Connect 2-wire smoke detectors across zone 1 terminals (10 and 11) as shown in Figure 3-10. Observe proper
polarity when connecting the detectors.
3 Connect the EOL resistor at the last detector in the loop across the zone 1 terminals. The EOL resistor
must be connected across the loop wires at the last detector.

Using 4-Wire Smoke Detectors on Zones 1 – 8
You may use as many 4-wire smoke detectors as can be powered from the panel's Auxiliary Power output without
exceeding the output's rating (750mA).
NFPA limits the number of 4-wire smoke detectors to 18 per zone.
• Auxiliary power to 4-wire smoke detectors is not automatically reset after an alarm, and therefore must be
momentarily interrupted using either the J7 smoke detector reset output trigger or a 4204 Relay Module.
Compatible 4-Wire Smoke Detectors
Use any UL Listed 4-wire smoke detector that is rated for 10-14VDC operation and that has alarm reset time not
exceeding 6 seconds. Some compatible 4-wire smoke detectors are listed below.
