![]() ![]() The 15 has 6 on-board hardwire zones and the 20 has 8 on-board HW zones. In that case, I'll have to direct you how to find your Installer Code before we can get to the dial-out number.ĮDIT:BTW, for future reference: The biggest difference between the Vista-15 and the Vista-20 is the number of zones. (2B) If you enter IC + 8 + 00 and don't get the "20", then the number I'm about to PM you is not what's programmed for the IC. Just hit *99, and you will exit programming to Normal Run mode. That data field, unfortunately, is entirely too close to other data fields that could mess you up. That's Star-Nine-Nine! Enter it deliberately and carefully and don't maching-gun it on the keypad. (2A)If you see "20" displayed, the ONLY thing you want to enter on the keypad after that is *99. This is Panel Programming and "seeing what will happen if I do this" can make Bad Things Happen. You are only concerned with the 2-character display.ĭON'T EXPERIMENT!! Don't make any entries except what I tell you. Ignore other indications on the keypad telemetry: They aren't the same in Panel Programming as in Normal Run Mode. If the IC was valid, your display will read "20". Once you get the IC from your mailbox, go to the keypad and: Also, do you have the installer code? If you don't, I can tell you how to find it (probably) but if you already have it, the process is simpler.īrian, I'm sending you a PM so I don't post a widely-used Installer code on a public forum. Get back to me with an exact model number and/or any and all information you can tell me about age and origin. You might check to see if you can get a direct number to the emergency dispatcher. You might be in the next state when you get a signal from your alarm system and asking an out-of-area ERC to first locate your address on a map, then to match a local police dispatcher with it, will waste precious time you don't want to spend. "911" from your cell phone (or any phone) puts you in touch with an emergency response center local to where you are calling from. "ĩ11" is NOT the number of your nearest police dispatcher, i.e., the dispatcher nearest your home. ![]() Basically it will just notify you that an alarm has triggered without specifying what.Īlso, if you plan to call the police for an alarm, be aware that you need to get the dispatching number of your nearest Police Station. ![]() If it was installed in the last 10-15 years, chances are you'll be able to program it to call your cell phone, but be advised it won't report specific codes like "Alarm zone 2" to a cell phone. I can tell you how to program what you want, but you should have a manual for future reference and to follow directions once I know your model number. I can give you a link to an installer's manual, but first I need to know which model you have so you aren't misled by minor differences that can bollix what you're doing. If it's a Vista-10 or Vista-15, is it followed by SE or P? Do you know when it was installed? Do you know who installed it? Those answers could be important as far as how easy it'll be to direct you into panel programming. You should find the model number at the top of a diagram of the control. Btrauth, find your control box (not the keypad, the steel cabinet where the actual panel lives) and look on the inside of the door. ![]()
