Can I Update The Revision On My VISTA 20P?

Yes, the revision can up updated on a Honeywell Vista-20P control panel.

The Honeywell Vista-20P control panel’s revision needs to be 9.12 or higher to connect to Total Connect 2.0. A compatible Honeywell Internet communicator or GSM Cellular communicator also needs to be paired with the Vista-20P control panel to communicate with Total Connect 2.0.

Honeywell offers a replacement Vista-20P prom chip to update the panel’s revision. The prom chip can be purchased separately or in a kit with a Honeywell communicator. When purchased in a kit, 4 chips will be sent (Vista-15P, Vista-15PSIA, Vista-20P, and Vista-20PSIA), be sure to select the correct chip when upgrading your panel. Choose the chip that most closely matches the chip you're replacing. If you're unsure, contact technical support for assistance. You can email us at support@alarmgrid.com.
