Section 1 - General Description
1-3
Partitioning and Panel Linking
•
Can control 8 separate areas independently, each functioning as if it had its own separate
control.
•
Provides a Common Lobby partition, which can be programmed to arm automatically
when the last partition is armed, and to disarm when the first partition is disarmed.
•
Provides a Master partition (9), used for the purpose of viewing the status of all
partitions at the same time.
•
Can display fire and/or burglary and panic and/or trouble conditions at all other
partitions’ keypads (selectable option).
•
Can “link” together up to 8 control panels. This allows users to access and control from a
keypad another control panel.
Scheduling
•
Can automate system functions, such as arming, disarming, and activation of outputs
(e.g., lights).
•
Provides access schedules (for limiting system access to users by time).
•
Provides an End User Output Programming Mode, allowing the user to control outputs.
•
Provides a feature called Up & About, which can be used to ensure there is activity from
a person within a premise. This is particularly useful to verify an elderly person is okay.
Access Control
•
Supports up to 8 VistaKey modules (8 access points), which are used for access control. It
is a single-door access control module. The system can support up to 250 access cards.
•
Supports ADEMCO PassPoint system via one VISTA Gateway Module (VGM), for a fully
integrated access control system.
•
Can store access control events in the event log.
System Communication
•
Supports ADEMCO Contact ID; ADEMCO High Speed; ADEMCO Express; and 3+1, 4+1,
and 4+2 ADEMCO and Sescoa/Radionics Low-Speed formats.
The system is shipped defaulted for Contact ID communication. It is the only format capable of
uniquely reporting all 128 zones of information, as well as openings and closings for all 150
users. This requires central stations to be equipped with the ADEMCO 685 receiver using
software level 4.7 or higher to fully support all new VISTA-128B PLUS report codes. If you need
to update your 685 receiver, contact your distributor.
•
Can send messages such as alarms, opens/closes, etc. to up to 8 paging services.
•
Provides two paging formats (alphanumeric – requires the VA8201 Alpha Pager Module;
and numeric – sent directly by the control)
•
Supports Dynamic Signaling feature, which prevents redundant signals being sent to the
central station when both the built-in dialer and Long Range Radio are used.
•
Provides an Audio Alarm Verification (AAV) option that permits voice dialog between an
operator at the central station and a person at the premises. An AAV unit, such as Eagle
model 1250, is required.
UL
The Eagle Model 1250 AAV unit is not UL Listed.
