Paging Feature (cont’d) 
 
About Manual Paging 
Your system may be set up so you can manually send a message to up to four 
(VISTA-20P Series) or two (VISTA-15P Series) pagers . 
    Your installer programs the paging function key an d the pager phone numbers. 
    Pressing the paging keys sends the message 
  9 9 9 – 9 9 9 9   to the selected pager . 
 
  This message could mean “call home”, “call your off ice”, or any other prearranged 
meaning. 
    See the Paging chart at the back of this manual fo r details of the paging setup for 
your system. 
  1.  Press and hold the programmed Paging Key for at  least 2 seconds (wait for beep), then press the pag er 
number (1-4)* representing the pager intended to  
receive the message. 
2.  The recipient, on seeing the 999–9999 message, w ill 
understand the prearranged meaning of this signal. 
* 
If no number is pressed, the message is sent to pag er 1. 
   Pagers 1-4 for VISTA-20P Series; 1-2 for VISTA-1 5P Series.

Latch Key Paging 
You can program a schedule that causes a pager repo rt to be sent if the system is not 
DISARMED by the scheduled time (see  Scheduling section, event “03”). For example, 
a  working  parent  might  want  a  message  to  be  sent  to   a  pager  if  their  child  did  not 
arrive home from school and disarm the system by a  certain time. 
If programmed, the message that is sent is: 
  7 7 7 – 7 7 7 7  .

Security Codes & Authority Levels 
 
About Security Codes 
Your installer assigned a master code that is used to perform all system functions. 
In addition, other security codes can be assigned f or use by other users (VISTA-20P 
Series provides 47 additional codes; VISTA-15P Seri es provides 31 additional codes). 
   Only the System Master and Partition Master can as sign security codes to users. 
   Users are identified by 2-digit user numbers and a re pre-assigned to either 
partition 1 or partition 2 (VISTA-20P Series). 
   Only the System Master can change user partitions.   
   In addition to a security code, each user is assig ned various system attributes. 
   Security codes can be used interchangeably within  a partition when performing 
system functions (a system armed with one security  code can be disarmed by a 
different security code), with the exception of the  Guest and Arm Only codes 
described below. 
   Security code programming involves these steps:  
  1.  Choose a user number from the set of users assi gned to the partition in which 
the user will be operating, and assign a 4-digit se curity code. 
  2.  Assign an authority level to that user.  
  3.  Assign other attributes as necessary (see attri butes on the next page). 
 
NOTE: The factory settings are designed to meet most nor mal user situations. 
Therefore, the only step you usually need to do whe n adding users is assign a user 
number (from the partition’s pre-assigned user numb ers) and a security code.  
Authority Level Definitions 
Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can/cannot perform.   Level Title Explanation 
N/A  System Master 
(default = 1234)  Reserved for user 02; Can perform all system functi
ons and assign codes 
in both partitions; can change its own code as foll ows: 
Master code + [8] + 02 + new master code + new master code again  0  Standard User  Can only perform security functions  in assigned partition. 
Cannot perform system functions reserved for the ma ster user. 
1  Arm Only  Can only arm the system. Cannot disarm o r do other functions. 
2  Guest  Can arm the system in assigned partitions,  but cannot disarm the system 
unless  the system was armed with this code. This code is  typically 
assigned to someone (e.g., babysitter or cleaner) w ho has a need to 
arm/disarm the system only at certain times. The us er of this code should 
not  use the “Quick Arming” feature. 
3  Duress Code  Intended for use when you are forced  to disarm or arm the system under 
threat. When used, the system will act normally, bu t can silently notify 
the Central Monitoring Station of your situation, i f that service has been 
provided. 
4  Partition Master  (VISTA-20P Series) Can do everyt hing a standard user can do, and  
can assign security codes to users in their partiti on.

Security Codes & Authority Levels  (cont’d)  
How to Assign Security Codes and User Attributes 
The following lists the various command strings for adding security codes and attributes. 
Refer to the User Setup chart at the back of this ma nual for factory defaults of user 
attributes and to keep a record of user programming . 
NOTE:  Partition Master codes (VISTA-20P Series only) app ly only to those user numbers 
previously assigned (by the system master/installer ) to the partition master’s partition. 
 
Add a User:  System/Partition Master code + [8] + user no.  + new user’s security code 
  ( Users 03/33 are preset    User 01 = installer  User 03 = partition 1 master    to partition programmers,  User 02 = master  User 33 = partition 2 master 
 but can be changed.) The Keypad beeps once to confirm that new user was  added.  
Delete a User:  System/Partition Master code + [8] + [user no.] + [ #] [0] 
 The security code and all attributes* set for this user number, including any 
associated RF keys, are erased from the system.  
 (*except assigned partition)  
Authority Level:   System/Partition Master code + [8] + [user no.] + [ #] [1]+ auth. level 
Factory Defaults: Authority Levels (see definitions on previous page): users 04-32/34-49 = 0 0 = standard user   3 = duress users 03/33 = 4 1 = arm only   4 = partition master (VISTA-20P Serie s only) 
  2 = guest   
 
Access Group:  System/Partition Master Code + [8] + [user no.] + [ #] [2]+ group (1-8) 
Factory Defaults:: none You can assign users to a group, then set an access schedule that defines the 
times this group of users can operate the system. T he system ignores these 
users outside the scheduled times. 
 
User’s Partition: System Master Code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [3] + [ 0] + partition(s) + [#]   
(VISTA-20P only) This command assigns the partitions the user can access. If more  Factory Defaults:  than one, enter partition numbers sequentially, th en press [#] to end. Part. 1 = users 03-32  E.g., master code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [3] + [0] + [1] [2] + [#] gives Part. 2 = users 33-49  the user access to partitions 1 and 2 and the comm on partition.  Partition Entries:  1 = partition 1 and common;   3 = common partition only 
    2 = partition 2 and common 
 
RF Zone Number:  Master/Part. Prog. Code +  [8] + [user no.]  + [#]  [4]+ zone no. 
(adding a Key Fob) Use this command to assign a wireless button (key fob) to a user for arming/ 
disarming functions (key fob must be enrolled in sy stem first; see installer). 
Factory Defaults:: none Zone number:  enter the zone number assigned to a b utton on the key fob that 
will be used for arming/disarming by this user. 
  Deactivating a key fob:  You can deactivate the arming/disarming functions 
for a key fob (ex. if lost or stolen) by deleting t he associated key fob user. See 
“Delete a User” above. Other key fob functions such  as panic or device 
activation (if programmed) remain active. To fully  remove the programming 
for a key fob, see your installer. 
 
Pager On/Off:  Master/Part. Prog. Code +  [8] + [user no.]  + [#]  [5] + 0 or 1 
Factory Defaults: You can program a user so that a message is sent to a pager  users 01-49 = 1 (on)  whenever this code is used to arm or disarm the sy stem. 
  Paging On/Off: 1 = allow paging; 0 = no paging for  this user

Accessing Other Partitions (VISTA-20P)  
 
About Accessing Partitions 
(GOTO Command and Multi-Partition Arming)  
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only 
that partitions information.       If the user is authorized, a keypad in one partiti on can be used to perform 
system functions in the other partition by using th e GOTO  command. Refer to 
the GOTO section. 
    If the user is authorized, that user can arm other  partitions. Refer to the Multi-
Partition Arming section.  
The following table shows the relationship of the k eypads in each partition when 
system is armed and disarmed.

When both partitions are disarmed, the keypad in ea ch partition displays zone 
status for its partition only. The common zone keyp ad shows the status in that 
zone only. See Condition 1 above.  
When partition 1 is disarmed and partition 2 is arm ed, the keypad in partition 1 
shows the status of partition 1  and the common zone. Partition 2 will display the 
status of partition 2  only. See Condition 2 above. 
When partition 1 is armed and partition 2 is disarm ed, the keypad in partition 1 
shows the status of partition 1  only. Partition 2 will display the status of partition 
2  and  the common zone . See  Condition 3 above. 
As long as any one of the two partitions is disarmed,  the common zone will 
always be disarmed. The common zone will be armed only wh en both 
partition 1 and 2 are armed. See Condition 4 above.

Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d) 
 
Using the GoTo Command (VISTA-20P) 
If the user is authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system 
functions in the other partition by using the  GOTO command. 
    You must use an Alpha keypad to access another par tition. 
    Keypads automatically return to their original par tition after 30 seconds 
with no keypad activity. 
 
1.                  +  [ ] + partition number (0,1,2,3) 
 (Security Code; only applies if user has access to  other partitions) 
  0 = return to keypad’s original partition.  
  1 = partition 1; 2 = partition 2; 3 = common zone  
  The keypad beeps to confirm the partition change.  
Alpha Display: 
1 DISARMED 
READY TO ARM  Fixed-Word Display: Green LED lit 
   
2. The keypad remains in the new partition until  
directed to go to another partition, or until it 
automatically returns to the original partition.  
  The active partition number is displayed in the  upper left portion of screen, if the option is sele cted. Alpha Display: 
2 DISARMED 
READY TO ARM  Fixed-Word Display:  Green LED lit  
Multi-Partition Arming (VISTA-20P) 
Some users can be given Multi-Partition arming abil ity by being assigned to both 
partitions when programming user attributes.   
When attempting to arm multi-partitions:      You must use an Alpha keypad. 
    The system arms only if all partitions are “ready  to arm.” 
    If any partition is “not ready,” the system does n ot arm at all. 
    You can use the GOTO command to bypass open zones  before arming. 
    If any partition is already armed when global armi ng is attempted, that 
partition remains in its existing armed state.

Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d) 
 
Common Zone Operation (VISTA-20P) 
  
Ask your installer if a 
common zone was 
assigned. If so, check 
this box         
Your system may have been set up to use a common zone, which is 
an area shared by users of both partitions, such as  a foyer or lobby. 
If so, please note the following:     The common zone will sound and report alarms only  when both 
partitions are armed. If only one partition is arme d, 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  partition 
keypads, and will also appear on another partition’ s keypad when 
the alternate partition is armed. 
   Either partition can clear and restore the common  zone after an 
alarm. 
   Entry/exit time for the common zone is the same as  for partition 1.

Scheduling 
 
About Scheduling 
The system provides end-user schedules (programmable by master/installer only), 
which can control various types of events.      Each schedule causes a defined event to start and  stop (when appropriate) at a 
specified time.  
    Schedules can be set to automatically repeat at v arious intervals. 
    Schedules can be set for random starting, if desi red.  
    VISTA-20P Series provides up to 16 user schedules . 
    VISTA-15P Series provides up to 4 user schedules.

Event Logging Procedures 
 
About Event Logging 
The system records various events in a history log, which can be viewed by the master 
user on an Alpha Display keypad.     The Event Log holds up to 100 (VISTA-20P Series) o r 50 (VISTA-15P Series) events. 
  Events are displayed in chronological order, from  most recent to oldest. 
  When the log is full, the oldest event is replaced  by the logging of any new event.
