Vista-20P / FA168C Family w/RRS-Mod & 2-
wire Smokes

When using the RRS
-Mod and the S
ystem
Sensor 2wta
-b smoke detectors, we have found that the pulsing
relay
(RRS
-Mod)
will cause multiple fire signals
to report to the central station
. To prevent this issue we have to program
the
fire zone differently
using a configurable zone type
rather than a zt of 09 or 16. See Below for the complete
programming changes with their explanations:

Definition:

Configurable Zone Type –
this is a zone type that you can create
to fit
your application. In our application we need
to prevent the multiple reports. W
e will create a Custom Zone type disabling Auto Restore
to
do
this.

N
ow that we have defined the configurable zone type,
we need to program the panel. There are up to 4 configurable
zone types, 90, 91, 92, 93. We are going to add the final values to *182
(zone type 90)
. To enter the data
press:

*182 -
8 1 8 1 8 1 4 0 #15 2
W
e also w
ant
to program the panel to send the same report
code
as a ZT of 09
. This
is CID of 110 for an Alarm and
373 for a
T rouble (refer to the installation instructions for a list of CID codes). This is programmed in location
*183. To enter this press the following command: *183 -
110 373. -

ire Zones:


I
f you have another fire zone, or are using Keypad Fire Panic, these also will trip the RRS
-MOD which is
wired to zone 1.

T
he pulsing RRS
-MOD,
without a latched smoke
detector
, will cause rapid Trouble/Restore reporting to
C.S.
When the RRS
-M
OD starts to pulse in conjunction with the bell output, the zone will report to the
panel a trouble on an open then a restore on close,
and will do this for the duration of the sounder. The
logic of the panel tells the dialer to report every T
rouble and e
very
Restore. This means
every time it
pulses it sends a signal to the dialer queue
, caus
ing
multiple
Trouble reports to be sent to C
entral
Station.

T
o prevent these repeat Trouble
reports when other Fire Zones are tripped, you
can
wire one of the trigge
rs
to the positive side of Zone 1
, and
program
the
trigger to activate upon “Alarm” of these other zones in
a
Z
one List. When one of these zones trip, the trigger will hold a short to ground on Z
one 1
, putting it into
Trouble
and preventing it from responding to the pulsing of the RRS
-MOD.
The different potentia
l
b
etween Zone 1 negative and Trigger negative causes trouble on the zone, not Alarm.
