NOTE: All references to the VISTA-128BP also pertain to the VISTA-128SIA. The differences between the two panels
are outlined in the supplement accompanying the VISTA-128SIA. The supplement must be referred to when
programming the VISTA-128SIA. All references in this manual for number of zones, number of user codes, number of
access cards, and the event log capacity, use the VISTA-250BP’s features. The following table lists the differences
between the VISTA-128BP/128SIA and the VISTA-250BP control panels. All other features are identical, except for the
Remote Keypad Sounder (field 1✴
✴✴
✴46 option 2), which is available only in the VISTA-128BP/128SIA.

The purpose of this document is to provide a quick and easy way to program your entire system. A recommended
programming procedure is included, followed by a list of program fields with the corresponding program group they belong to
(system-wide, partition-specific, scheduling, etc.). Two program forms are included. One contains all the programming fields,
and the other contains the partition-specific fields. If you are setting up a single-partition system, the partition-specific fields
become system-wide fields.
Following the program forms are system layout worksheets. We recommend that you use these sheets to plan your system
before programming is performed. If you need further information about specific programming options, see the
VISTA-
128BP/VISTA-250BP Installation and Setup Guide
.
Make sure that one two-line alpha keypad is connected to the control and is set to device address "00."
Single-Partition System
The system default is for a single-partition system. Use the VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP SINGLE PARTITION
PROGRAMMING FORM when programming for single-partition usage. Follow the steps outlined in RECOMMENDED
PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE of this document for proper programming procedure.
Multiple-Partition System
You must enter the number of partitions you are using in data field 2*00 to set the system for multiple partitions. Use the
VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP SINGLE PARTITION and the PARTITION-SPECIFIC PROGRAM FORMS when
programming the system for multiple partitions. Follow the steps outlined in RECOMMENDED PROGRAMMING
PROCEDURE of this document for proper programming procedure.
