About Alpha Descriptor Programming

This Interactive mode section provides instructions for programming alpha descriptors and for adding

custom words. This is recommended for systems using alpha keypads, and necessary if a 4285/4286 VIP

Module is used. Alpha descriptors cannot be displayed on fixed-word keypads.

If you are using a 4285 or 4286 VIP Module (phone module), select from those words in the Alpha

Vocabulary List (on a following page) shown in boldface type.

The VIP Module will not provide

annunciation of the other words.

If a VIP Module is

added

to an existing VISTA-10SE system, you must reprogram

all

the

alpha

descriptors presently in the system,

selecting from those words shown in

boldface

type

in the

Alpha Vocabulary List. The VIP Module will not provide annunciation of any other words.

Zone Descriptors

The alpha keypad used with the VISTA–10SE can have a user-friendly descriptor/ location of all

protection zones, keypad panics, and RF receiver supervision faults programmed into the system. Each

descriptor can be composed of a combination of words (up to a maximum of 3) selected from a vocabulary

of words stored in memory (see the list on a following page). In addition, up to 5 installer-defined (custom)

words can be added to those already in memory. Thus, when an alarm or trouble occurs in a zone, an

appropriate descriptor for that zone's location is 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

You can enter the descriptor when the zone is being defined in field

✱

56, but we recommend you do it using

this

✱

82 Menu mode.

To program zone descriptors, 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.
