Refer to the Installation and Setup Guide for detailed explanations for each prompt 1\) enter Installer Code into a PROGRAMMING KEYPAD ONLY (Default 4112) + 800 2\) enter \*56 3\) Enter Desired Field (Input guide will be posted below this) Section 1: SET TO CONFIRM? 0 = no; 1 = yes (See XMIT TO CONFIRM prompt later in this section.) We recommend that you confirm the programming of every transmitter. Section 2: Enter Zone Number 01-64, 91, 92, 95, 96, 99 To quit, enter 00 to quit (returns to data field mode). Section 3:  Zone Type 00 = Not used  01 = Entry/exit #1  02 = Entry/exit #2 03 = Perimeter  04 = Interior Follower  05 = Trouble Day/Alarm Night  06 = 24-Hr Silent  07 = 24-Hr Audible  08 = 24-Hr Aux   09 = Fire  10 = Interior w/Delay  12 = Monitor Zone  14 = Carbon Monoxide  16 = Fire w/Verify  24 = Silent Burglary 23 = No Alarm Resp 20 = Arm–STAY\* 21 = Arm–AWAY\* 22 = Disarm\* 77 = Keyswitch 81 = AAV Monitor Section 4: PARTITION (VISTA-20P) 1, 2, or 3-common  Section 5: REPORT CODE 1-9 10 for 0 11 for B 12 for C 13 for D 14 for E 15 for F Note: For Contact ID®, enter any non-zero entry as the first digit to enable reporting for this zone. To disable the report code for this zone, enter 00.  Section 5: HARDWIRE TYPE Appears only for zones 02-08.  Zone 1 is automatically set for EOL operation. Enter the desired hardwire type: 0 = EOL 1 = NC 2 = NO 3 = zone doubling (ZD) VISTA-20P only 4 = doublebalanced (DB) VISTA-20P only For hardwired zones 01-08.  Enter the response time for this zone: 0 = 10mSec; 1 = 350mSec; 2 = 700mSec; 3 = 1.2 secs (see field ∗174). NOTE: If zone doubling is being used, the response time selected for zones 02-08 automatically applies to each zone’s associated doubled zone Section 6: INPUT TYPE Skipped for zones 2-8, and for zones 10-16 if zone-doubling enabled.  Enter the input type:  2 = AW (Aux wired zone) 3 = RF (supervised RF) 4 = UR (unsupervised RF) 5 = BR (unsupervised button type) NOTE: To change the input type of a previously programmed wireless device to a wired zone, you must first delete the transmitter’s serial number.  Section 7: INPUT S/N  1.  a. Transmit two open/close sequences (for button-type transmitters, press and release the button twice, waiting about 4 seconds before pressing the button the second time).  OR  b. Manually enter the 7-digit serial number printed on the label of the transmitter. Press the \[∗\] key to move to the “L” position, then enter the loop number.  Use the \[A\] (Advance) and \[B\] (Back) keys to move the cursor forward and back within the screen. Pressing the \[C\] (Copy) key will insert the previously enrolled serial number, if desired (used when programming a transmitter with several input loops). Note: To delete an existing serial number, enter 0 in the loop number field. The serial number will change to 0's. If 0 was entered in error, simply re-enter the loop number or press \[#\], and the serial number will return to the display 2\. Press \[∗\] to continue. The system now checks for a duplicate serial/loop number.  If no duplicate is found, the display shows the serial number and loop number. 3\. Press \[∗\] to continue to confirmation screen. Section 8: XMIT TO confirm  Appears if you answered “Yes” at the “Set to Confirm” prompt. Activate the loop input or button that corresponds to this zone. Press \[∗\] to continue. If the serial/loop number transmitted does not match the serial number entered, a display showing the entered and the received serial/loop numbers appears. If so, activate the loop input or button on the transmitter once again. If a match is not obtained, press the \[#\] key twice and then enter (or transmit) the correct serial number. Press \[∗\] to continue If the serial number transmitted matches the serial number entered, the keypad will beep 3 times and a summary display will appear, showing that zone's programming. An “s” indicates that a transmitter’s serial number has been enrolled. Press \[∗\] to accept the zone information and continue. Section 9: PROGRAM ALPHA Press 1 if you want to program descriptors for the zone now, and refer to the \*82 Descriptor Programming section for procedure article. To program descriptors later enter 0 to skip Press \[∗\] to continue to the Enter Zone Number prompt. 4\) enter \*99 to exit programming Note: The Vista 15P does not have partitions, any fields dealing with partitions will not be available on the Vista 15P Programming Manual For More Information: [https://turbifycdn.com/ty/cdn/yhst-51756635596032/honeywell-vista-20p-control-panel-programming-guide.pdf](https://turbifycdn.com/ty/cdn/yhst-51756635596032/honeywell-vista-20p-control-panel-programming-guide.pdf) GeoArm can assist in changing the installer code upon activation. -
