Disarming and Silencing Alarms 
 
Using the [OFF] key 
The OFF  key is used to disarm the system, silence alarm an d trouble sounds, and 
clear alarm memories.    
IMPORTANT : If you return and the main burglary sounder is on,  DO NOT 
ENTER, but CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe lo cation. 
If  you  return  after  an  alarm  has  occurred  and  the  main  sounder  has  shut  itself  off, 
the  keypad  will  beep  rapidly  upon  your  entering,  indicating  that  an  alarm 
has occurred during your absence.  
LEAVE AT ONCE, and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby  safe location.

              +   1    OFF 
  (Security Code) 
  The “READY” indicator light will be lit if all zon es 
are secure, and the keypad will emit a single tone  to 
confirm that the system is disarmed. 
  NOTE:  If entry delay has started (you’ve opened the 
entry door), you do  not need to press the OFF key – 
simply enter your security code. The system will  
disarm in about 15 seconds after the last digit of  the 
code is entered.

Bypassing Protection Zones 
 
Using the BYPASS Key 
Use  this  key  when  you  want  to  arm  your  system  with  one  or  more  zones 
intentionally unprotected. The system must be disar med first. 
 
Vent  Zones:  Your  system  may  have  certain  windows  set  as  “vent”   zones,  which  are 
automatically  bypassed  if  left  open  when  arming  the   system  (you  do  not  need  to 
manually  bypass  them).  However,  if  a  vent  zone  wind ow  is  closed after  arming,  it 
becomes  protected  and  will  cause  an  alarm  if  opened   again  while  the  system  is 
armed.   
When bypassing zones:     The system must be disarmed before you can bypass  zones. 
   Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause  an alarm if violated. 
   The system will not allow fire zones to be bypasse d.
 
  Zones are automatically unbypassed when the system  is disarmed. 
 
1.     
             +  6 BYPASS + zone number (see below) 
  (Security Code) 
   Enter the 2-digit zone number for the zone to be  bypassed. Single digit zone numbers must be precede d 
by a zero (e.g. 05, 06). 
 
  Repeat the command string for each zone to be  bypassed.

2.  After each command string, the keypad momentarily  
displays a Bypass message for the zone number. 
  Arm the system as usual. When armed, the arming  message is displayed with “ZONE BYPASSED.” 
  To display bypassed zones  prior to arming, enter 
your security code and press the [6] BYPASS key.  Alpha Display:

Bypassing Protection Zones (cont’d)  
Quick Bypass 
If  programmed,  Quick  Bypass  allows  you  to  easily bypass  all  open  (faulted)  zones 
without  having  to  enter  zone  numbers  individually.  This  feature  is  useful  if,  for 
example, you routinely leave certain windows open w hen arming at night. 
 
1.                   +    6 BYPASS  +  [#] 
  (Security Code) 
  In a few moments, all open zones will be displayed  
and automatically bypassed.
 Make sure that only 
those zones that you wish to leave  unprotected are 
bypassed, and that there are no other zones  
unintentionally left open.

Chime Mode 
 
Using the Chime Mode 
CHIME  mode  alerts  you  to  the  opening  of  a  perimeter  door  or  window  while  the 
system is disarmed.   
When Chime mode is activated:      Three tones sound at the keypad whenever a perimet er door or window is opened.  
    Interior zones do not produce a tone when they are  faulted. 
    Pressing the  READY key will display the open protection points. 
    Chime mode can be used only while the system is di sarmed. 
 
To turn Chime Mode on: 
    
              +   9 CHIME 
  (Security Code) 
   The CHIME message will appear. Perimeter zones  will cause a tone when faulted.

Using the Voice Chime 
 
Voice keypads have a feature that works in concert  with the Chime Mode called Voice 
Chime. Voice chime provides a voice status annuncia tion, chime, and display when 
any faulted entry/exit or perimeter zone exists.  A sk your installer if this option has 
been enabled for your system.     
To turn Voice Chime Mode on or off:  
 #  +   0   +   2  +   4    
(normal Chime mode must be on first)
 
  
When Voice Chime is on, faulted zones cause a voice  status announcement, chime and display. 
When off, the sounder still provides chime if norma l Chime mode is on.

Macro Key Programming & Usage 
 
About Macro Keys 
The “A”, “B”, “C” or “D” keys can be used to automatically activate a series of 
commands of up to 16 keystrokes, if programmed for  this function. These keystrokes, 
as a group, are called “macros” and are stored in t he systems memory.  
    Typical macro functions can include: 
    -  Arming sequences: STAY, NIGHT-STAY, INSTANT, or  AWAY 
    -  Bypassing particular zone(s)  
    -  Activating relay(s) for turning on (or off) lig hts, fans, etc. 
    Up to four (VISTA-20P Series) or two (VISTA-15P Se ries) macros can be 
assigned – but no more than one macro to a key. 
    Macros can be activated only by users with authori ty levels authorized to 
perform the macro’s function. 
NOTE:  The installer must activate the desired function k ey (using *57 Function  
key Menu Mode) before macros can be assigned. 
 
See the chart at the back of this manual for the ke y(s) assigned for macros.

Paging Feature 
 
About Automatic Paging 
Your system may be set up to automatically send messages to several pagers (4 pagers 
for VISTA-20P Series, 2 pagers for VISTA-15P Series ) as certain conditions occur in 
your system.     The following events can be programmed by your ins taller to be sent to the pagers: 
arming and disarming
†, alarms, and trouble conditions. (†  reports when 
arming/disarming from a keypad using a security cod e; auto-arming/disarming, 
arming with assigned button, and keyswitch arming d o not send pager messages.) 
   You can also program the system to send an automat ic pager message to alert you 
in the event that someone has not arrived home (dis armed the system) within a 
defined period of time (see the  Scheduling section for details on programming a 
“latch key report”). 
   Your installer programs the pager phone numbers an d reporting events. 
   The pager message consists of a 7-digit system sta tus code that indicates the type of 
condition that has occurred. 
   An optional, predefined 16-digit character string  can precede the 7-digit system 
status code; these characters can consist of a PIN  no., subscriber account no., or any 
additional data that you may wish to have sent to t he pager. 
   The pager display format is as follows:
