CHECKING OPEN ZONES
Checking Zones: Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other detection zones must
be closed or bypassed; otherwise the keypad displays "Not Ready."
GOTO: If the user is authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in the
other partition by using the GOTO command. Must use an Alpha keypad.

ARMING THE SYSTEM, CHIME MODE, and CONTROLLING DEVICES
Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows and make sure the Ready to Arm message is shown.
After arming, leave the premises through an entry/exit door during the exit delay period and be sure the door
is reclosed to avoid causing an alarm.
Mode Press these keys... When to use an arming mode and what happens

DISARMING THE SYSTEM and SILENCING ALARMS
The 1 OFF key is used to disarm the system, silence alarm and trouble sounds, and clear memory of
alarm displays.

BYPASSING ZONES
Use the 6 BYPASS key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally
unprotected. The system must be disarmed first.
Mode Press these keys... What happens
• When finished, the keypad will momentarily display a
"Bypass" message for each bypassed zone number. Wait
for all bypassed zones to be displayed.
• Arm the system as usual. When armed, the arming
4-digit code + 6 + 2-digit message is displayed with "ZONE BYPASSED."
BYPASS zone numbers to be • Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an
ZONES bypassed alarm if violated.
• The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.
• Zones are automatically unbypassed when the system is
disarmed.
• To display bypassed zones prior to arming, enter your
security code and press the BYPASS key.
PANIC KEYS
Your system may have been programmed to use special keys or key pairs to manually activate emergency
(panic) functions as follows:
This Function Key(s)* Sends This Signal** With This Sounding...
Silent Alarm silent alarm no audible alarm; displays, "Press [∗] to
show faults," indicating that a silent alarm
has been initiated.
Audible Alarm audible alarm a loud, steady alarm at keypad(s) and at
any external sounders that may be
connected.
Personal Alarm auxiliary alarm steady alarm sound at keypad(s), but not at
external bells or sirens.
Fire Alarm fire alarm temporal (pulsing) sound at external bells
and sirens.
* Enter the appropriate keys programmed by your installer for each function (see installer).
** All panic functions send signals to the Central Monitoring Station, if connected.
To activate a Panic Function:
Keys
Press and hold down for at least 2 seconds the
[A]
programmed lettered key or key pair for the

desired emergency function (or press both keys of
[C]
the assigned key pair at the same time).
NOTE: The [D] key may be programmed for other
purposes; see your installer.

ZONES CODES
• When entering codes and commands, sequential key depressions must be made within 4-5
seconds of one another. If 4-5 seconds elapse without a key depression, the entry will be
aborted and must be repeated from its beginning.
• If you make a mistake while entering a security code, stop, press the
start over. If you stop in the middle while entering a code, and then immediately start the
entry over, an erroneous code might be entered.
SECURITY CODES
Your installer assigned a master code that is used to perform all system functions.
In addition, other security codes can be assigned for use by other users.
• Only the System Master and Partition Master can assign security codes to users.
• Users are identified by 2-digit user numbers.
• Only the System Master can change user partitions.
• In addition to a security code, each user is assigned an authority level and various system attributes.
See the full User Guide for definitions of each Authority Level.
• Security codes can be used interchangeably within a partition when performing system functions (a
system armed with one security code can be disarmed by a different security code), with the exception
of the Guest and Arm Only codes.
• Security code programming involves these steps:
1. Choose a user number from the set of users assigned to the partition in which the user will be
operating, and assign a 4-digit security code.
2. Assign an authority level to that user.
3. Assign other attributes as necessary.
Assigning Security Codes and User Attributes
The following lists the various command strings for adding security codes and attributes.
NOTE: Partition Master codes (VISTA-20P Series only) apply only to those user numbers previously
assigned (by the system master/installer) to the partition master's partition.

Commands
System Master code + 8 + [02] + new code + new code again
Master code + 8 + user no. + new user's security code
The Keypad beeps once to confirm that new user was added.
Master code + 8 + [user no.] + # 0
The security code and all attributes* set for this user number, including any
associated RF keys, are erased from the system.
(*except assigned partition)
Master code + 8 + [user no.] + # 1 + auth. level
Authority Levels: 0 = standard user
1 = arm only
2 = guest
3 = duress
4 = partition master (VISTA-20P Series only)
Master Code + 8 + [user no.] + 8 2 + group (1-8)
You can assign users to a group, then set an access schedule that defines the
times this group of users can operate the system. The system ignores these
users outside the scheduled times.
System Master Code + 8 + [user no.] + # 3 + 0 + part. + #
This assigns the partitions the user can access. If more than one, enter
partition numbers sequentially, then press [#] to end.
E.g., master code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [3] + [0] + [1] [2] + [#] gives the user
access to partitions 1 and 2 and common partition.
Partition Entries: 1 = partition 1 and common
2 = partition 2 and common
3 = common partition only
Master/Part. Prog. Code + 8 + [user no.] + # 4 + zone no.
Use this command to assign a wireless button device (keyfob) to this user
(keyfob must be enrolled in system first; see installer).
Zone number: enter the zone number assigned to a button on the keyfob that
will be used for arming/disarming by this user.
Master/Part. Prog. Code + 8 + [user no.] + # 5 + 0 or 1
You can program a user so that a message is sent to a pager whenever this
code is used to arm or disarm the system.
Paging On/Off: 1 = allow paging
0 = no paging for this user
