To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter [
✴
] + Partition No. (e.g., [
✴
]
+ [
4]). This allows
viewing only of that partition. In order to affect that partition, the user must use a code that has access to that
partition. Also, in order for a user of any partition to log on to Partition 9 to view the status of all partitions, that user
must have access to all partitions. Otherwise, access is denied.
The following is displayed for a fault condition on Zone 2 (Loading Dock Window) on Partition 1 (Warehouse) when a
user logs on from a keypad on Partition 9:
WHSE DISARMED
HIT
✴
FOR FAULTS
Pressing [
✴
] causes the following display to appear at Partition 1's keypad(s):
FAULT 002 LOADING
DOCK WINDOW
Additional zone faults are displayed one at a time. To display a new partition's status, press [
✴
] + Partition No.
The Armed LED on a Master keypad is lit only if all partitions have been armed successfully. The Ready LED is lit only
if all partitions are "ready to arm." Neither LED is lit if only some partitions are armed and/or only some partitions are
ready.
Press [
✴
] + [0] or [
✴
] + [9] to return to the master partition. Otherwise, if no keys are pressed for 2 minutes, the system
automatically returns to the master partition
The sounder on a Master keypad reflects the sound of the most critical condition on all of the partitions. The priority of
the sounds, from most to least critical, is as follows:
1. Pulsing fire alarm sounds
2. Steady burglar alarm sounds
3. Trouble sounds (rapid beeping)
Silence the sounder by pressing any key on the Master keypad or a keypad on the partition where the condition exists.
A Master keypad uses the same panics as Partition 1. Master keypad panics are sent to Partition 1, and will
activate on Partition 1. Therefore, panics must be programmed for Partition 1.
Panel Linking
Up to eight VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP control panels may be networked, enabling a user to control the features of all
control panels from a single location. The panel linking bus supports an end-to-end network length of up to 4,000 feet,
making it ideal for multi-building environments (e.g., a shopping mall, college campus, etc.).
U
L
Panel Linking is not permitted in UL installations.
Panel linking requires a VA8200 Panel Link Module (PLM) on each VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP. Users can link (access
other control panels) in any of three different modes: Single-Partition, Single-Panel Mode; Multi-Partition, Multi-Panel
Mode; Multi-Panel View Mode. These modes are described later in this section.
Each PLM connects to the ECP bus on the control panel and communicates to each PLM via an RS-485 bus (3-wire
twisted cable run) with a maximum wire-run of 4000 feet end-to-end.
