Partitions: Some control panels have the ability to be programmed for multiple partitions, which allows the single control

to protect different areas as if each had its own control.

Photoelectric Beam Smoke Detector: In a photoelectric beam smoke detector, a light source and a photosensitive

sensor are arranged across a protected space so that the rays from the light source normally fall on the photosensitive sensor.

When smoke particles enter the light path, the intensity of the light is reduced, causing the detector to initiate a fire alarm signal.

PLM: (VISTA-128BP, VISTA-128FBP, VISTA-250BP and VISTA-250FBP). Panel link Module - ADEMCO model V8200.

Used for networking panels together. One PLM is required on each panel linked together. The PLM is connected to the

panels ECP bus and communicated to each PLM via a RS-485 connection (3 wire twisted cable).

Programmable Function Keys: The A-B-C-D keys on a 6150 or 6160 keypad used on a VISTA-20PS panel can be

individually programmed to perform any of the following functions:

- panic zone

- single button paging

- display date and time (returns to normal display after 30 seconds)

- arm away, stay, or night-stay

- step arming (cycles once from stay, to night-stay, to away)

- output device activation

- communication test

- macro (shortcut of up to 16 keystrokes not including the user code).

Programmable outputs: Relays, X-10 (Power Line Carrier) devices, or on board triggers that can be used to activate

LED’s, strobes, additional sounders, lights, garage doors, etc. Depending on the control panel selected, the outputs can be

controlled by system events or by schedules or both.

Programmable Zone Types: (VISTA-20PS). Unique zone types may be added for various custom responses.

Configurable options include response to entry/exit delays, response to opens and shorts, sounding, fault and dialer delays,

and unique contact id codes. The VISTA-20PS supports four programmable zone types.

Pull Station:

Breakglass or Nonbreakglass: To initiate an alarm, a breakglass pull station must break a glass rod in order to

actuate the station. Activated breakglass pull stations are easily identifiable. They also discourage tampering and

consequently false alarms. Non-Breakglass pull stations do not have the breakglass feature.

Single Action: A single action of pulling a lever or other movable part initiates an alarm.

Double Action: Two actions are necessary to initiate an alarm. Usually a door must be opened or a cover must be

lifted in order to pull the lever to initiate an alarm.

Pre-signal: When a pre-signal pull station is activated it will cause an alarm signal to sound only at designated area

such as a security office. The subsequent actuation of a key switch on the pull station or on the control panel will

cause an evacuation signal to sound throughout the building. Pre-signal pull stations are commonly used in hospitals

or university campuses.

Record Drawing: Blueprints, also called as-built drawings, that document the location of all devices, appliances, wiring

sequences, wiring methods and connections of the fire alarm system components as they are installed. These drawings are

essential to test and maintain the system.

Record of Completion: Formerly called the Certificate of Completion, this is an NFPA document that confirms that a

system has been installed properly and operates in accordance with the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72).

Schedules: Schedules can be used to turn output devices on and off, to limit the access of certain user codes,

automatically arm or disarm the system, or other similar functions.
