Honeywell VISTA-15P Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know if My 4219's DIP Switches Are Turned "On"?
A Honeywell 4219 is used to add eight additional hardwired zones to a Vista panel. Certain DIP switch combinations will assign the hardwired terminals on the 4219 to different zones on the panel. A DIP switch that is facing up is in the "on" position. Learn more about the 4219 zone expander.
How Do I Change My Alarm System's Code?
The process for changing a code on an alarm system varies depending on the type of panel that is being used. You will need to know the Master Code for the system in order to do this. It is possible to change the Master Code and any user code. Learn more about changing codes on a security system.
What Does FC Stand For on My Alarm System?
An FC code indicates that a Honeywell VISTA System is having trouble communicating. This message is often displayed on a keypad when the panel previously used its built-in dialer to send signals. This error code can be cleared by most end users. Learn more about the FC code on a VISTA panel.
How Do I Clear the FC Code on my Honeywell Alarm?
An FC code on a Honeywell VISTA System stands for Failed To Communicate. This means that the panel attempted to dial out using its built-in dialer, and it did not receive acknowledgement that the signal was accepted. Learn more about clearing the FC code on a Honeywell security system.
How Do I Upgrade My Honeywell VISTA's Version?
Upgrading a Honeywell VISTA involves removing the current prom chip from the panel's circuit board and then replacing it with a newer prom chip. Many users upgrade the version of their VISTA so that they can use Total Connect with their system. Learn more about upgrading a Honeywell VISTA Panel.
How Do I Make My 6160RF Chime When a Zone is Opened?
Enabling the chime on a 6160RF keypad is a very easy process. However, the user will need to know the Master Code for the system to enable this feature. Once the chime has been enabled, the keypad will chime whenever a zone is faulted. Learn more about the chime feature on a 6160RF keypad.
How Do I Program My Honeywell VISTA 15P?
When programming a VISTA 15P, you must first access system programming. Next, you will access the programming field that you want to adjust. From there, enter in the appropriate data. Finally, you will exit system programming to save your changes. Learn more about programming a VISTA 15P.
What Does Bypassing a Sensor Accomplish?
Whenever you bypass a sensor before arming, the sensor that you bypass will essentially remain disarmed, while the other sensors will still arm as normal. You must individually set each sensor to bypass each time you arm your system. Learn more about bypassing sensors on a security system.
How Do I Program a Wired Zone on a Vista Panel?
Determine how you wish to connect your wired zone, then program each zone according to the way it is wired. Zone 1 must always be wired with a 2K end or line resistor. Zones 2 - 6 (15P) or 2 - 8 (20P, 21iP) can be programmed as Normally Open, Normally Closed, or EOL. Read on to learn more.
