First, you need a keypad, like the 6150 or the 6160, to
program your Vista 20P control panel. Either of these
keypads are capable of basic panel programming, but the 6160 has more advanced display
features that allow you to handle more complex zone programming.
Accessing Programming
Mode...
Type your installer code (4 digits) into the keypad, and
then "800". ("4112"
is the traditional default installer code, but is often changed by alarm
companies) For those who don't remember
their installer code, simply disconnect your panel from its transformer plug
and backup battery, reconnect the transformer and backup battery, then press
and hold the asterisk (*) and the pound sign (#) simultaneously. When -- *20 -- appears on the display, you
have entered programming mode.
Once in Programming Mode...
Press pound (#) then "2 digit data". A 2-digit display will appear. Changes to a specific data field can be made
by pressing the asterisk (*) followed by the 2-digit field number. This allows you to enter in a new field
number, which will be followed by 3 beeps and drop you down to the next data
field. Press the asterisk (*) after an
entry if you want that entry to be less than the maximum number of digits.
Continue this process until the system is programmed to your
satisfaction. Enter -- *99 -- to save your changes and exit programming
mode.
Reference the Vista 20P programming guide for further information regarding setup and configuration of your Vista Control
Panel.
Note: These
instructions work for programming the Vista 15P as well.
