•
Access point zone numbers (1-15) are assigned via a user-friendly, 16-position rotary
switch.
•
The addition and removal of VistaKey modules from the system is easily accomplished via
the alarm system keypad.
•
The alarm panel event log is expanded to 512 events with the addition of the VistaKey.
•
VistaKey events are stored in the alarm panel event log.
•
Each VistaKey provides one open collector output trigger (sink 12mA @ 12VDC).
•
In the event communication between the VistaKey and the alarm panel is lost for a period
of two or more minutes and the VistaKey has power applied, the VistaKey module
automatically enters a Reduced Capability Mode (RCM).
The VistaKey also enters the reduced capability mode for two minutes when you have a
direct-wire computer connection and you request a download to the alarm panel using the
downloader. While in the Reduced Capability Mode, the VistaKey recognizes and grants
access for all cards authorized to enter through an access point (without regard to time
schedules).
Compatible Fire/Burglary Alarm Systems
The below listing identifies the alarm systems that the VistaKey can interface with, the
maximum number of VistaKeys (access points) that can be used with each system, the
minimum alarm panel software revision level for compatibility, and software EPROM part
numbers.
