GENERAL INFORMATION
The VISTA AT (No. 4140) is a microprocessor–based
security control which
provides up to 9 wired zones in the basic product, with expansion to an
additional 8 wired zones when connected to a 2-wire zone expansion bus.
The
security control is housed in a wall-mounted metal cabinet measuring 12” (30.5
cm) wide x 12” (30.5 cm) high x 3“ (7.6 cm) deep, and can be used with a console
equipped with a multifunction 12–key digital keypad and a 2-line, 32-character
multipurpose LCD English language display (5137), or one with factory-defined
restricted word LCD display (4137). Both types of consoles are equipped with a
built-in 85 db piezoelectric sounder that meets UL requirements as an alarm
sounder.
Connections to the security control are made via a 24-terminal connector block
which is used to interface to the wired loops, plug-in DC power pack, back-up
battery, remote consoles, external alarm sounder(s), etc. The entire connector
block (with the interface wiring) can be unplugged from the main circuit board
if the board wer needs to be returned for service. Telephone line and optional
ground start module connections are made via a separate 5–terminal connector
block.
The security control can be easily programmed from an optional 5137 (ALPHA
VI~A)
or 4137 (VISTA) remote console; the control can also be programmed
locally from the 699 Programmer (using a 695-30XT cartridge). Programmed options
to establish specific alarm and reporting features are stored in electrically
This means that the unit can be repro–
erasable, non-volatile EEPROM memory.
grammed many times (unlike units equipped with PROMS) and that information which
has been programmed will not be lost in the event of a complete loss of pcwer.
For installer convenience, the control is factory–programmed to a set of values
that is designed to meet the needs of many installations. However, these can be
altered by the installer to suit the specific needs of a particular installation
or installation company, following the instructions provided in the programming
section of this manual (factory-programmed values are also shown there).
This system also contains abbrwiated operating instructions in memory, designed
primarily as an aid to the end user. This feature, which functions only with the
ALPHA VISTA (5137) console, may be used when the system is in the armed or the
disarmed mode, and is activated by simply pressing any of the function keys for
5 seconds. The display on the console will then scroll information related to
the use of that function key.
The system provides communication capability (central station reporting, etc.)
over existing telephone lines, as well as zone expansion connections.
An optional, econanical, remote keypad (4131 or 4147) can be used for arming,
disarming, etc., from a remote indoor location within the protected prenises.
This unit is a compact 12-button keypad with two system status indicators (LEDs)
and a built-in piezoelectric sounder that provides warning sounds. Requires a
10-wire connection to the control.
Remote consoles available for use with the system include:
5137: This console is equipped with 12 backlit keys, a backlit alphanumeric LCD
display, a loud piezoelectric alarm sounder, and requires only a 4–wire
connection to the control.
4137: This console provides functions similar to that of the 5137 with one
notable exception. It utilizes an LCD display that displays numerics for zone
identification and pre-defined words for mode, status, and alarms. Requires only
a 4-wire connection to the control.
This system includes an alarm relay with SPDT dry contacts rated at 2.8 amps.
A ccmplete list of optional accessories will be found in a section toward the
end of this manual under the heading “Optional Accessories” (see Index).
