H/W zones built-in: The number of standard hard wired zones included with the panel

Initiating Device: A system component that originates transmission of a change of state condition, such as a smoke

detector, manual fire alarm box, supervisory switch, etc.

Initiating Device Circuit (IDC): A circuit to which automatic or manual initiating devices are connected where the

signal received does not identify the individual device operated. Another common term used is zone.

Keyfob zones: Wireless keys that can be programmed without taking away from the number of maximum zones in the panel.

Keypad Macros: Allows a shortcut to simplify various system commands.

Listed: Equipment, materials or services published by an organization acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction that

evaluates materials, products or services. The listing organization maintains periodic production inspections of listed

equipment or materials or periodic evaluation of services. The listing states either that the equipment has been tested and

the material or services meets identified standards.

Magnetic Door Holders: Electromagnetic (magnetic) door holders are designed to hold-open doors during normal

conditions and close when the fire alarm system has been activated.

Magnetic door holders operate on loss power or as it is more commonly referred to as fail-safe. For example, if the power

to a magnetic door hold-open device is interrupted, the door will close or fail-safe just as it is designed to do during an

alarm condition.

Manual Pull Stations: Manual fire alarm boxes (or as they are more commonly called pull stations) have a lever on the

outside of a metal or plastic enclosure that contains a switch that is housed within the enclosure. A person pulling a lever

on the outside of the enclosure will activate the switch inside the enclosure. Once actuated, the pull station must be

manually reset to restore the unit to a normal non-alarm condition.

LRR output and Dynamic Signaling: The panel can support AlarmNet radios connected to the ECP (keypad) bus.

This allows for extremely simple connections and programming of a 7845C, 7835CF, 7720PLUS, and 7820 radio

transmitter for backup reporting to the central station. The radios will transmit all messages programmed to go to the

primary telephone number. Dynamic Signaling allows you to assign which method of transmission will have priority and how

long to wait before transmitting on the other medium. Eg: If the dialer has priority and is acknowledged before the

programmed delay expires, then the message will not need to be sent using the radio. If for some reason the dialer

message is not acknowledged by the end of the delay period, the message will be transmitted via the radio.

Max zones: The maximum number of total zones supported by the panel.

Night-Stay Mode: Designates certain interior zones to remain active while others are bypassed.

Notification Appliance: A fire alarm system output component such as a bell, horn, speaker, strobe, printer, etc., that

provides an audible or visible output, or both. Another common term used is signal.

Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC): A circuit or path directly connected to a notification appliance. Another

common term used is signal circuit or bell circuit.

Paging: VISTA-20PS,VISTA-128BP, VISTA-128FBP, VISTA-250BP and VISTA-250FBP uses the secondary telephone

number to send messages to a numeric pager. This limits the number of attempts the control panel will make to reach the

central station to 8. The panels use a separate alpha paging module which requires adding a 4100SM (serial module) and a

separate telephone line. They can also send messages to a numeric pager without adding a separate module but requires

an ADEMCO VA8201 alpha pager module to send messages to an alpha pager, and can support up to 8 different pager

telephone numbers.

Panic keys: Keypad panic zones in addition to standard zones.
