Ademco Vista-21IP Alarm Panel and Kits

Honeywell’s high capacity, feature-
rich VISTA-21iP delivers more value
for the DIY installer. The VISTA-
21iP provides up to 48 zones of
protection, an on-board IP
connection, graphic keypad support
and dual partitions. The VISTA-21iP
gives you the ability to send alarm
signals and upload/download via an
Internet Protocol (IP), improving the
speed at which information can be
delivered to and from the control
panel.

Installer Features

Automatic System Load Shed

– During extended AC power fail, the system battery will be

disconnected to prevent irreversible battery failure. Reduces

service calls to replace batteries.

Dynamic Signaling

– Reduces redundant reporting to the central station when

multiple reporting methods are used; i.e. digital dialer and

AlarmNet radio

When used with an optional AlarmNet GSM that snaps right on the
board, the VISTA-21iP can be installed in premises without TELCO
lines – guaranteeing communication independent of any
infrastructure. The panel’s installation advantages, innovative end-
user benefits and robust system capacity make the value-priced
VISTA-21iP an ideal choice for higher-end installations.

Product Overview (Flash)

The Honeywell Vista-GSM Snap-In Module for the Vista-21IP is a
cellular communicator that transmits signals to the AlarmNet-G
network (GSM cellular network, which uses GPRS to complete these
transmissions) and forwards them to our central station.

System Features

Quick Connection to Honeywell/Ademco Vista-21IP control
panel.
Simple Programming and Enrollment.
Reports fire, burg, and status messages via wireless network.
Allows uploading and downloading of control panel data via the
wireless network.

Modes of Operation
The Vista-GSM provides four modes of operation so it can be used
with various types of control panels.

ECP Mode: This mode is for use with Honeywell controls that
support LRR-ECP Communication.
Zone Trigger Mode: This mode is for use with panels that do
not support LRR-ECP Communication. There are 6 input zones
built in for multiple zone signals.
4204 Mode & Two-4204 Mode: These modes are for panels
that don't support LRR-ECP Communication, but do support
4204 Relay Modules.

Module Supervision Features

Network Communication Failure: In the event the AlarmNet
network does not hear a supervisory message from the module
within a specified time ("Supervision" option, 24 hours, 30 days
or none), AlarmNet notifies the central station of a
communication failure.
Communication Path Failure: In the event the module detects a
communication path failure, the control panel can be notified of
a trouble condition with the module after a specified time has
elapsed ("GSM Flt Time" option, 00-99 minutes).
Fault Output: Terminal 11 can serve as a fail-safe trigger for
radio fault conditions, including communication path failure and
other internal failures that the device detects.
Primary Power Loss and Low Battery Conditions.
Cover Tamper Condition.
