Automatic Periodic Test Command
SIA compliant
Listed here are a few other unique features.
Unvacated auto stay, if you arm the system away and do not open an entry exit door it will arm stay
Cross zoning, it takes a fault on more than one zone to activate an alarm
Night arming, allows part of your interior zones active when armed, example you may want the 1st floor motions to be active at night.
Carbon Monoxide zone type, will pulse the bell output and can not be bypassed.
Dynamic zone type, this zone type will beep the keypad when activated and when restored will clear from the keypad with out a code entry.
Scheduling, allows you to program times to automatically arm, disarm, and activate outputs.
Vent zone, allows the panel to be armed with the zone faulted, when the zone restores it will become protected
Automatic periodic test command, allows you to enter a command outside of programming to enable test reports
SIA, is a false alarm reduction standard

6. ANSI/SIA CP
A FALSE ALARM REDUCTION standard, calls for manufacturer’s to default control panels as follows:
60 second exit delay
30 second entry delay plus 30 second dialer delay
Auto Stay arming enabled
Cancel verify option is enabled (displays on keypad)
Swinger suppression defaulted to 1 report per zone per armed period
A N S I/ S I A is a false alarm reduction standard that calls for manufacturer’s to default control panels with the listed parameters.

8. Mechanics of Programming
Entering Program Mode - Use one of the following methods to enter Programming Mode:
1. Press both the [*] and [#] keys at the same time, within 50 seconds after power is applied to the Control.
2. After power-up, enter the Installer Code (4112) + 800
(If *98 was used to exit previously, method 1 above must be used to enter the program mode again)
Note: When connecting a console to a defaulted panel, the console must be set to address 16. This will be covered later.
To Enter Programming:
The First method is to depress * & # at the same time during the first 50 seconds of power up.
The Second method for entering programming is by pressing the installer code , the default installer code is so to enter programming with the default installer code you would press
Note that if *98 was used to exit previously, method 1 must be used to enter the program mode again.
Upon entry into programming mode, data field *20 will be displayed, and both the Armed and Ready LED’s will flash.

9. Defaulting To default the panel you will enter: [ * ] + 9 + 7
Upon entering programming for the first time, it is recommended that you default the panel.
To set the panel for first time communication with Compass Downloading Software you will enter:
[ * ]
CSID = FFFFFFFF
Primary Subscriber Account Number = FFFF
To default the panel press * 9 7 and then pick one of the 4 default tables.
Please refer to your installation instructions for table listings.
It is recommended that you default the panel before doing any programming, this will insure that the panel is at the default setting you select.
To default the panels CSID and account for first time communications with Compass Downloader Software, press * 9 6.
This entry will set the CSID and Primary subscriber account numbers to all F’s.
Note: If your downloader requires a call back phone number Refer to field *94 in your programming form.
Note: If your downloader requires a call back phone number, refer to field *94 in your programming form.

10. Mechanics of Programming
* 20 Installer Code
[4112]
Enter 4 digits, 0 – 9
To change the Installer’s Code you would enter Programming mode, then press *20, then the new code.
The factory default Installer Code is
You can change this code in programming by pressing * 2 0 followed by the new 4 digit code.
You can view this code in programming by pressing # 2 0
To view what is in field 20 you would enter #20, the panel will display the location contents one digit at a time.

11. Mechanics of Programming
Exiting Program Mode:
*98 prevents re-entry into the Programming modes using the Installer Code.
*99 allows re-entry into the Programming modes using Installer Code (4112) + 800
Note: If *98 is used to exit programming mode, the system must be powered down, AC and Battery, then press * & # simultaneously within 50 seconds of power up to re-enter programming.
To Exit Programming there are 2 methods:
*98 Exits programming mode and prevents re-entry by installer code
*99 Exits programming mode and allows re-entry by installer code
Note: If *98 is used to exit programming mode, the system must be powered down, AC and Battery, then press * & # simultaneously within 50 seconds of power up to re-enter programming.

Vista-20P Series Defining Output Functions *80 Menu Mode

47. *80 Menu Mode
In *80, we program relays or X-10 devices, previously defined in *79 output device mapping, to activate and deactivate.
The Vista-20P allows 48 output functions to be programmed.
The Vista-15P allows 24 output functions to be programmed.
The Vista-10P allows 12 output functions to be programmed.
Each output function determines only one action.
For example: To turn a relay on and off requires two output functions.
The Vista-20P allows 48 output functions to be programmed.
Each output function determines only one action.
For example to turn on and off a relay it would take one output function to turn on the relay and another output function to turn it off.

which can be assigned one of 5 authority levels.
Vista-15P supports up to 33 user codes
which can be assigned one of 4 authority levels.
Vista-10P supports up to 16 user codes
The Vista-20P supports up to 48 user codes which can be assigned one of 5 authority levels

59. Security Codes Authority Levels
(authority levels can be assigned to users only; users 1 and 2 cannot be changed.)
Level
User No.
Functions
Installer 01
Perform all security functions except can disarm only if used to arm; can enter program mode; cannot change installer code (default-4112)
System
Master 02
Only one system master code per system; can perform all security functions, add/delete users in either partition, change master code, view event log, set system clock, program keypad macro, program scheduled events, activate output devices (triggers/relays) (default-1234)
Partition
(default)
P1 = 03
P2 = 33
Same as master, except add/delete users limited to assigned partition only
Authority Levels can be assigned to users 03 through 49.
By default user 01 is the installer code, user 02 is the system master code these codes cannot be changed.
User 03 is the partition 1 master code, and user 33 is the partition 2 master code by default, these users authority levels can be changed.

60. Security Codes Authority Levels
(authority levels can be assigned to users only; users 1 and 2 cannot be changed.)
Level
User No.
Functions
0-User
03-49
Perform security functions (arm, disarm,etc) only; cannot add/delete users, view event log, set system clock or program scheduled events.
1-Arm only
Arm system only
2- Guest
Can disarm the system only if it was used to arm the system
3-Duress
Performs security functions, but also silently sends a duress message to the central station; reports as zone 92
4-Partition
Master
Used to assign other user numbers as partition masters
Not used for the Vista-15P and Vista-20P
For user codes 03 through 49 you can select the following authority level options
Level 0 is a standard user
Level 1 is arm only
Level 2 is a guest also known as babysitter
Level 3 is duress
Level 4 is partition master

61. Security Codes
Adding a User Code: Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + user’s code
Deleting a User Code: Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + [#] [0]
Assigning Attributes:
Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + [#] [attribute no] + value
Attributes: Values
1=Authority Level 0-4 (see Authority Level table)
2=Access Group 0-8 (0= not assigned to a group)
3=Active Partition 1,2,3 (common)
for this user;
4=RF Zone No. Assigns user number to button type
zone for arm/disarm
5=Open/Close paging 1 for yes; 0 for no
To add a user code enter the master code 8, 2-digit user number then the 4-digit user code.
A successful entry will be followed by a short beep. If you enter a code that is already in the system you will get a long error tone.
To delete a user code enter the master code 8, 2-digit user number # 0 This will be followed by a short beep if successful.
To assign attributes to the user code, enter master code 8, 2-digit user number # attribute number then the value.
Attribute 1 is the authority level, 0 through 4, and assigns what the user can do.
Attribute 2 is access group 0 through 8, and used to enable user codes during time schedules.
Attribute 3 is active partition 1, 2, or 3; enter in succession if more than one is needed.
Attribute 4 is RF zone number assignment, assigns user number to button type zone for arm and disarm.
Attribute 5 is open and close paging.

62. Review What is the maximum number of zones?
Do the keyfob zones count in the above number?
How many programmable outputs does each panel offer?
Do all ECP devices (keypads, expanders, etc.) need to have a unique address?
Can we program a relay to activate in *79 output device mapping?
