About Alpha Descriptor Programming
This section provides instructions for programming alpha zone descriptors. This is
recommended for systems using alpha keypads, and a 4285 or 4286 VIP Module.
If you are using a 4285/4286 VIP Module, select from those words/numbers in the Alpha
Vocabulary List shown in boldface type. The phone module does not provide annunciation
of the other words/numbers.
If a 4285/4286 VIP Module is added to an existing VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN system, the alpha
descriptors presently in the system should be reprogrammed, selected from those words/numbers
shown in
boldface
type
in the Alpha Vocabulary List. The phone module does not provide
annunciation of any other words/numbers.
The Alpha Vocabulary List and Character (ASCII) Chart are on page 19-4.
Zone Descriptors
For the alpha keypad used with the VISTA-15/VISTA-15CN, you can program into the
system a user-friendly English language description/location of all protection zones, keypad
panics, and RF receiver supervision faults. Each description can be composed of a
combination of words/numbers (up to 3) selected from a vocabulary of 196 words/numbers
stored in memory (see a following page). In addition, up to 10 installer-defined
words/numbers can be added to those already in memory. Thus, when an alarm or trouble
occurs in a zone, an appropriate description for that zone's location is displayed at the
keypad.
NOTE: Alpha descriptor entry can be done locally at the alpha keypad or remotely using
downloading software. The alpha keypad entry procedure is described below.
Programming Zone Descriptors (Program Menu Mode

You can enter the descriptor when the zone is being defined in field

you do it using

To program zone descriptors, enter the 3-digit reference number for the desired word(s). The
3-digit number
for each word is provided in the Alpha Vocabulary List (on page 19-4).
1. With the system powered up, enter the Programming mode by keying:
