System Communication
• Provides supervision of the phone lines (main and backup)
• Supports the 5140DLM optional backup dialer for the second phone line.
• Supports ADEMCO Contact ID; ADEMCO High Speed; ADEMCO Express; and 3+1, 4+1, and 4+2 ADEMCO and
Sescoa/Radionics Low-Speed formats.
The system is shipped defaulted for Contact ID communication. It is the only format capable of uniquely reporting all
32 zones, as well as openings and closings for all 75 users. This requires central stations to be equipped with the
MX8000 receiver fully support all new VISTA-32FB report codes. If you need to update your MX8000 receiver,
contact your distributor.
• Provides the Dialer Queue Report in the event of a loss of communications between the dialer and the central
station, i.e. telco loss. The total events that will be queued up is 128 (91 Burg + 37 Life Safety). A Dialer Queue
Overflow report (E354) will be sent if the report queue goes beyond its limits. Note that: Life Safety includes Fire,
CO, 24 HR Silent/Audible/Auxiliary, and Duress. Life Safety events may go beyond 37 (up to 128) if there are no
Burg events in the queue. If all dialer attempts are exhausted before communication to the central station is
restored, the queue will be cleared.

• Provides 32 keypad macro commands (each macro is a series of keypad commands of up to 32 keystrokes) using the

the user presses any of the function keys on the keypad for 5 seconds.

LEDs, or printer.
• Provides Maintenance Signal support for certain smoke detectors (5192SD, 5192SDT, 5193SD, and 5193SDT).
At least one 2-line alpha keypad (6160/6160CR-2) must be connected to the system for programming (if you are
using keypad programming), and must remain connected to the system in order to allow the primary user to program
additional user codes into the system at a later time.
