VISTA-40 Installation and Setup Guide

Installing External Sounders

The VISTA-40 provides a bell circuit output for operating fire and burglary alarm notification appliances. The alarm output is rated as follows: 10VDC – 14VDC, 1.7A max., power-limited.

The output has the following options:

•Selectable for supervision.

•Selectable for confirmation of arming ding.

•Selectable to chime when entry/exit or perimeter zones are faulted.

•Selectable for no timeout or timeout of 2-30 minutes.

UL	• Burglary bell circuits must be programmed
	for a timeout of 16 minutes or longer.
	• For Household Fire and combination
	Household Fire/Burglary installations, the
	total current drawn from the auxiliary power,
	polling loop, and alarm output combined
	must not exceed 750mA.
	• For Household Burglary installations, the
	total current drawn from the alarm output
	must not exceed 1.7A. A battery must be
	installed, as it supplies the current for the
	combined auxiliary power, polling loop, and
	alarm output in excess of 750mA.

Alarm Output Supervision

When supervision is enabled, the VISTA-40 monitors the alarm output wiring for open and short circuit faults while the output is inactive. The system provides a trouble indication (Zone 70) when an open occurs; or when a short occurs between the Bell (+) and Bell (-) terminal wiring, or between the Bell (+) terminal wiring and earth ground.

The VISTA-40 indicates the trouble condition regardless of whether the system is armed or disarmed. The zone displays on the keypads, reports to the event log, and transmits to the central station (if programmed) on Partition 1. The Contact ID event code is 321, Bell Trouble. The trouble is cleared from the display by entering the user code + OFF.

Wiring the Alarm Output

The wiring of the alarm output depends upon whether you are going to supervise the output or not. Use the appropriate procedure below for your application.

UL	Use only UL Listed sounding devices for UL
	installations.

UL1023 Household Burglary Installations

For Household Burglary installations, the total current drawn from the alarm output must not exceed 1.7A. A battery must be installed, as the battery supplies current from the combined auxiliary power, polling loop, and alarm output in excess of 750mA.

UL985 Household Fire or Combination Household Fire/Burglary Installations

For installations that must provide UL Listed protection, the total combined current drawn from the alarm output, auxiliary power output, and polling loop must not exceed 750mA in order to comply with the

battery independence requirements. If, for example, two System Sensor PA400 piezo alarm sounders, wired in parallel, are used (24mA total), then 726mA (750mA

–24mA) is available for auxiliary output and polling loop use.

Non-UL Installations

For non-UL installations, the total current drawn from this output can be up to 1.7 amps. A battery must be installed, as the battery supplies current in excess of 750mA. Up to two 719 sirens can be used wired in parallel.

UL	This control complies with National Fire
	Protection Association (NFPA) requirements for
	temporal pulse sounding of fire notification
	appliances.
