Recommended Programming Procedure - Honeywell VISTA-32FB Programming Manual

Recommended Programming Procedure

The following is a step-by-step procedure recommended for programming your VISTA-32FB system.
1. Set the keypads (and other peripheral devices) to the appropriate addresses.
2. Set factory defaults by pressing
This will automatically enable keypad addresses 00-01, so be sure at least one keypad is set to one of these
addresses.
3. Program system-wide (global) data fields.
Using the programming form as a guide, enter program mode and program all system-wide programming
fields. These options affect the entire system, regardless of partitions. They include control options,
downloader and dialer options, RF options, event logging options, etc. Refer to the Program Field Index for a
listing of the program fields and their function.
✱
Note that field 2 00 (number of partitions) must be programmed before continuing.
4. Program partition-specific fields.
When the system-wide fields have been programmed, program all partition-specific programming fields by
✱
first pressing 91 to select a partition (while still in data field program mode). Then enter the first partition-
specific field number
Partition-specific fields can have different values for each partition. To program the fields for the next partition,
✱
press 91, enter the desired partition number, then enter field
PROGRAMMING section in the VISTA-32FB Installation and Setup Guide for detailed instructions.
5. Use #93 Menu Mode for device programming.
Refer to Device Programming in this guide to assign keypad ID numbers and default partitions for each
keypad, and to selectively suppress certain keypad sounding options. Also use this mode to assign RF
receivers, relay modules, and Communicators (7845i-ent).
6. Use #93 Menu Mode for zone programming.
Refer to Zone Programming in this guide to program zone response types, assign right loop zones and
wireless zones, assign zones to partitions, and to program alarm report codes.
7. Use #93 Menu Mode for programming outputs.
Refer to Output Programming in this guide to program desired output operation.
8. Program Communication options.
Refer to System Communication section in the VISTA-32FB Installation and Setup Guide for detailed
instructions. Then use #93 menu mode to program report codes.
9. Use #93 Menu Mode for programming alpha descriptors.
Refer to Alpha Programming in this guide to enter zone and partition descriptors and a custom installer's
message.
10. Use #80 Mode for programming schedules.
Refer to the Scheduling Menu Prompts in the VISTA-32FB Installation and Setup Guide to program
open/close schedules, temporary and holiday schedules, limitation of access schedules, and time-driven
events.
11. Define user access codes.
Refer to User Access Codes in the VISTA-32FB Installation and Setup Guide to program authority level, O/C
reporting option, partition assignments, and wireless key assignments for each user.
12. Exit Programming Mode.
Exit programming mode by pressing either
being done from fields 1
To prevent re-access to programming mode using the Installer's code, use
programming mode is by depressing both the [

✱
Exiting by using 99 always allows reentry into programming mode using the Installer code. Either way of
exiting allows access via downloading. Note that if local programming lockout is set via downloading,
programming mode cannot be entered at the keypad.
