General
The VISTA-128B is an 8-partition, UL commercial burglary control panel that supports up to
128 zones using basic hardwired, polling loop, and wireless zones. It also includes zones for
supervision of bells, phone lines, keypads, RF Receivers, and relays. In addition, the control
offers scheduling capabilities and allows certain operations to be automated by pressing a
single button. The system has the capability to interface with an ECP long range radio unit
that can send Contact ID messages and an alpha numeric paging device. The control can be
connected to the ADEMCO PassPoint system (via the Vista Gateway Module) or a VistaKey
module (via the polling loop) to provide a fully integrated security and access control system.
