Programming Mode. Using this mode, enter the zone number to be programmed and make appropriate entries at the
prompts. Finally, Confirm the serial number of wireless transmitter zones.
The VISTA-20P system can control two independent areas of protection (known as partitions) for use by independent users, if
desired, by simply assigning zones to one or the other partition during zone programming. The VISTA-20P, by default,
automatically distributes users between the two partitions. The master user can change the user number distributions.
Zones can also be assigned to a common partition, which is an area shared by users of both partitions (such as a lobby in a
building). This allows either partition to arm, while leaving the common partition disarmed for access into the other partition.
The following describes the functioning of the VISTA-20P common partition:
• The common zone sounds and reports alarms only when both partitions are armed. If only one partition is armed, the
system ignores faults on the common zone.
• Either partition may arm its system if the common zone is faulted, but once armed, the other partition will not be able to arm
unless the common zone is first bypassed or the fault is corrected.
• Faults on the common zone are displayed on common zone keypads, and will also appear on another partition’s keypad
when that partition is armed.
• Either partition can clear and restore the common zone after an alarm.

“IN: AD” appears for hardwire expansion zones (AW) and
indicates the module’s address (AD), which is based on the
zone number.
“HW: RT” appears for hardwire zones and indicates
configuration (EOL, NO, NC, zone doubling, double-balanced)
and response time selection.
