Smoke Detector Reset
Output 1 may be used to reset 4-wire smoke detectors.
Use this output to trigger a low current relay, and wire
the power for the smoke detectors through the relay’s
contacts.
NOTE:
The output is normally high (12VDC) and goes
low when the User Code + Off is entered at the keypad.
To install a relay for smoke detector reset, perform the
following steps:
Step Action
1 Connect power terminals of the relay to the
panel’s auxiliary power (terminals 6 & 7).
2 Connect trigger input of the relay to Output 1
on J7.
3 Connect the “pole” (common) of the relay to
terminal 6 of the control.
4 Connect the positive side of the smoke
detectors to the normally closed contact of the
relay.
5 Connect the negative side of the smoke
detectors to terminal 7 of the control.
Remote Keypad Sounder
This feature is available in the VISTA-128BP only.
An optional Amseco PAL 328N Piezo Sounder can be
used to duplicate the sounds produced by the keypad's
built-in sounder. The panel will remote all sounds (e.g.,
alarm, trouble, chime, entry/exit, etc.) produced by the
keypad's built-in sounder except for the short beeps
associated with keypad key depression. One
application of this feature might be to produce chime
sounds at a distant location from the panel's keypads.
Remote Keypad Sounder Setup
To setup for a remote keypad sounder, connect the
piezo sounder to the panel’s positive auxiliary power
output and to Output 1 on the J7 connector as shown in
Figure 3-26

Installing the VA8200 Panel Link Module
The VA8200 Panel Link Module (PLM) connects to the
keypad (ECP) terminals on the VISTA-128BP/VISTA-
250BP and also connects to other PLMs via the RS-485
bus (3-wire twisted cable run).
Figure 3-27

panels.

ECP Wire Run Limitations
Determine wire gauge by referring to the table below.
Wire Run Length Table
Wire Gauge
Length
#22 gauge 450 feet
#20 gauge 700 feet
#18 gauge 1100 feet
#16 gauge 1750 feet
•
The length of the ECP wire runs combined
must not exceed 2000 feet when unshielded
cable is used (1000 feet if unshielded cable is
run in conduit or if shielded cable is used).
•
If more than one ECP device is wired to a
single run, then the above maximum lengths
must be divided by the number of devices on
the run (e.g., the maximum length is 225 feet
if two keypads are wired on a #22 gauge run).
