Section 18.

ALPHA DESCRIPTOR PROGRAMMING

This section provides instructions for programming alpha zone descriptors. This is recommended

for systems using Alpha keypads, and necessary if a 4285 Phone Module is used.

If using a 4285 Phone Module, select from those words in the Alpha Vocabulary list shown in

boldface type. The Phone Module will not provide annunciation of the other words.

If a 4285 Phone Module is added to an existing VISTA-20HWSE system, the Alpha

descriptors presently in the system should be re-programmed, selecting from those

words shown in boldface type in the Alpha Vocabulary list. The Phone Module will

not provide annunciation of any other words.

The ALPHA VOCABULARY LIST and CHARACTER CHART can be found on a following page.

Zone Descriptors

The Alpha Keypad used with the

VISTA-20HWSE

can have a user-friendly

English language description/location of all protection zones, keypad panics, and

supervision faults programmed into the system. Each description can be

composed of a combination of words (up to a maximum of 3) selected from a

vocabulary of 196 words stored in memory (see a following page). In addition, up

to 10 installer-defined words can be added to those already in memory. Thus,

when an alarm or trouble occurs in a zone, an appropriate description for that

zone's location will be displayed at the keypad.

Note:

Alpha Descriptor entry can be done locally at the Alpha Keypad or

remotely using Downloading software. The Alpha keypad procedure is

described below.

Programming Zone Descriptors (program menu mode

82)

The descriptor can be entered when the zone is being defined in field

56 but we

recommend that it be done using

82 menu mode.

To program zone descriptors, you simply enter the 3-digit reference number for

the desired word(s). The 3-digit number for each word is provided in the Alpha

Vocabulary list (on a following page).

1. With the system powered up, enter the programming mode by keying:

Installer code (4 1 1 2) + 8 + 0 + 0. The following display will appear:

Installer Code

Program Alpha ?

0 = No, 1 = Yes

2. Press

82.

The “Program Alpha ?” prompt will

appear.

Custom Words ?

0 = No, 1 = Yes

3. Press Ò1Ó (Yes).

The “Custom Words” prompt will

appear.

4. Press Ò0Ó (No).* The system will then

automatically display the descriptor for

zone 1.

* The procedure for adding custom words to

the built-in vocabulary will be found later

under “Adding Custom Words”.
