About the VISTA-32FB/VISTA-128FB
The VISTA-32FB/VISTA-128FB is a UL Listed
commercial fire and burglary control panel with
the following features:
. 8 built-in hardwired zones and expandable
using polling loop and wireless zones
. Up to 96 output relays
. Supervision of Notification Appliance
Circuits, phone lines, keypads, RF receivers,
and output devices
. Scheduling capabilities (allows certain
operations to be automated)
The VISTA-32FB/VISTA-128FB can interface with
the following devices:
. An ECP Long Range Radio that can send
Contact ID messages
. An access control system by using either
the ADEMCO PassPoint system (via the VISTA
Gateway Module) or a
VistaKey module (via the polling loop)
UL The access control function is not Listed
for use with the VISTA-32FB/VISTA-128FB Control
Panel in a UL installation.
The system supports either the VistaKey or
the VISTA Gateway Module, not both.
NOTE: All references in this manual for
number of zones, user codes, partitions,
VistaKey modules, the master partition and the
event log capacity, use the VISTA-128FB’s
features. The following table lists the
differences between the VISTA-32FB and the
VISTA-128FB control panels. All other features
are identical for both panels. Also, all
procedures in this guide for entering zone
numbers or user numbers show 3-digit entries,
which is valid for the VISTA-128FB. For the
VISTA-32FB these entries are only 2-digits.

Features
Hardwire and Optional Expansion Zones
. Provides 8 hardwire zones.
. Supports up to 16 2-wire smoke detectors
each on zone 1 and zone 2 (32 total).
. Triggers the built-in sounders on other
hardwired smoke detectors if one smoke detector

4204 Relay Module and/or the 333PRM.
. Supports up to 50 2-wire latching
glassbreak detectors on zone 8.
. Supports up to 119 additional expansion
zones (24 for the VISTA-32FB) using a built-in
polling (multiplex) loop.

the VISTA-32FB) fewer if using hardwire and/or
polling loop zones. UL
The 5881ENHC RF Receiver and the 5869 Holdup
Switch Transmitter are listed for UL Commercial
Burglary
applications. All other RF receivers and
transmitters are not listed for UL Commercial
Burglary applications.
VISTA-32FB/VISTA-128FB Installation and Setup
Guide
1-2
. Provides three keypad panic keys: 1 + .
(A), . + # (B), and 3 + # (C).
Peripherals Devices
. Supports up to 31 addressable devices,
(keypads, RF receivers, relay modules, etc.).
. Supervises devices (keypads, RF receivers,
and relay modules) and individual relays (up to
32), as well as system zones (RF receivers and
keypad panics).
. Provides 96 outputs using 4204 and 4204CF
Relay Modules, Fire System Annunciators (FSA-8,
FSA-24), and V-Plex Relay Modules can activate
outputs in response to system events (alarm
condition), at a specific time of day, at random
times, and manually using the #70 Relay Command
Mode.
. Supports additional style-Y supervised
Notification Appliance Circuits using a 4204CF.
. Supports the ADEMCO 4285/4286 VIP Module,
which allows access to the system from either a
remote location or on the premises UL
The 4285/4286 VIP Module is not Listed for
use with the VISTA-32FB/VISTA-128FB Control
Panel in a UL installation.
. Supports the ADEMCO 4146 Keyswitch on any
one of the system’s 8 partitions.
. Supports the PS24 Power Supply Module,
which supplies two 24VFW, 1.7A full-wave
rectified, unfiltered outputs.
Arming/Disarming and Bypassing
. Provides global arming capability (ability
to arm all partitions the user code has access
to in one command).
. Supports Exit Error Logic, whereby the
system can tell the difference between a regular
alarm and an alarm caused
by leaving an entry/exit door open. If the
system is not subsequently disarmed, faulted
entry/exit zone(s) and/or
interior zones are bypassed and the system
arms.
. Supports Recent Close report, which is
designed to notify the central station that an
alarm has occurred within 2
minutes after the exit delay has expired.

Partitioning . Can control 8
separate areas (partitions) independently, each
functioning as if it had its own separate control.
All fire zones must be assigned to partition 1.
. Provides a Common Lobby partition, which can be
programmed to arm automatically when the last
partition is armed, and to disarm when the first
partition is disarmed.
. Provides a Master partition (3 for the
VISTA32FB; 9 for the VISTA-128FB), used for the
purpose of viewing the status of all partitions at
the same time.
. Can display fire, burglary, panic, and trouble
conditions at all other partitions’ keypads
(selectable option).
Scheduling
. Can automate system functions, such as arming,
disarming, and activation of outputs (e.g., lights).
. Provides access schedules (for limiting system
access to users by time).
. Provides an End User Output Programming Mode,
allowing the user to control outputs.
Access Control
. Supports up to 8 VistaKey modules (8 access
points) (4 modules on the VISTA-32FB), which are
used for access
control. It is a single-door access control
module.
. Support up to 250 access cards.
. Supports ADEMCO PassPoint system via one VISTA
Gateway Module (VGM), for a fully integrated access
control system.
. Can store access control events in the event
log.
System Communication
. Provides supervision of the phone lines (main
and backup)
. Supports the 5140DLM optional backup dialer for
the second phone line.
. Supports ADEMCO Contact ID; ADEMCO High Speed;
ADEMCO Express; and 3+1, 4+1, and 4+2 ADEMCO and
Sescoa/Radionics Low-Speed formats.
Section 1 – General Description
The system is shipped defaulted for Contact ID
communication. It is the only format capable of
uniquely reporting all 128 zones, as well as
openings and closings for all 150 users. This
requires central stations to be equipped with the
ADEMCO 685 receiver using software level 4.10 or
higher to fully support all new
VISTA-32FB/VISTA-128FB report codes. If you need to
update your 685 receiver, contact your distributor.
. Can send messages such as alarms, opens/closes,
etc. to a paging service (this requires the
installation of the
4100APG Pager Interface).
. Supports Dynamic Signaling feature, which
prevents redundant signals being sent to the central
station when both the built-in dialer and Long Range
Radio are used.
. Provides an Audio Alarm Verification (AAV)
option that permits voice dialog between an operator
at the central station and a person at the premises.
An AAV unit, such as ADEMCO UVS, is required.
Downloading
. Supports upload and download capability.
. Can download access control cardholder
information.
Event Log
. Provides an event log (history log) that can
store up to 512 events.
. Can print the event log on a serial printer.
. Can view the event log on an alpha keypad.
Fire Walk-Test Mode
. Provides an automatic test of integrated V-Plex
devices that have the automatic test feature.
. Can display all fire zones that remain
untested.
. Can log test results in the event log.
. Can report the test results to the central
station.
Additional Features
. Provides two style-Y supervised Notification
Appliance Circuits.
. Provides an auxiliary relay (form C) that can
activate alarms troubles/supervisories, reset 4-wire
smoke detectors, or as a battery saver (removes
power form non-critical loads 4 hours after AC power
loss).
. Provides up to 60 installer-defined, custom
words that can be used for zone descriptors.
. Provides 35 keypad macro commands (each macro
is a series of keypad commands of up to 32
keystrokes) using the
A, B, C, and D keys by partition.
. Provides cross-zone capability, which helps
prevent false alarms by preventing a zone from going
into alarm unless its cross-zone is also faulted
within a 5-minute period.
. Contains a built-in User’s Manual, which
provides the end user with a brief explanation of
the function of a key when the user presses any of
the function keys on the keypad for 5 seconds.
. Provides trigger outputs, which may interface
with Long Range Radio equipment or other devices
such as keyswitch LEDs, or printer.
. Provides Maintenance Signal support for certain
smoke detectors (5808, 4192CPM, 4192SDM, 4192SDTM,
5192).
At least one 2-line alpha keypad (6139/6160) must
be connected to the system for programming (if you
are using keypad programming), and must remain
connected to the system in order to allow the
primary user to program additional user codes into
the system at a later time.
