VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP Installation and Setup Guide

Exception Reports
This option allows the reporting of openings and
closings to the central station only if the arming and
disarming occurs outside of the predetermined opening
and closing time windows. It is set in partition-specific
field 2*09.
The system can be programmed to send Failed to Open
and Failed to Close reports if the partition is not
armed or disarmed by the end of the corresponding
time window.
Limitation of Access of Users by Time
A user’s access to the system can be limited to a
certain time period. Outside this time, that user’s code
is inactive. The system provides up to 8 access
schedules, each consisting of two time windows
(typically one for opening, one for closing) for each day
of the week and two time windows for holidays.
The access schedules are programmed in the #80 Menu
Mode, and enabled when a user’s access code is added
to the system.
If a user tries to operate the system outside the
schedule, the alpha keypad displays “Access Denied.”
Time-Driven Events
The system can automatically activate and de-activate
relays at predetermined times to turn lights or other
devices on and off. The Time-Driven events can be
activated at different times in relation to a time window:
•
At the beginning of a time window
•
At the end of a time window
•
During a time window (on at beginning of window,
off at end)
•
At both the beginning and end of the time window
(e.g., to sound a buzzer at the beginning and end of
a coffee break)
•
Random time at the start of the time window
(occurs within 30 minutes after the start of the
time window)
•
Random time at the end of the time window (occurs
within 30 minutes after the end of the time window)
•
Random during the time window (begins within 30
minutes after the start of the time window and ends
within 30 minutes after the end of the time window)
The system can perform the same actions on a daily
basis, or can perform an action only once (e.g., turn on
the porch light this Wednesday at 8:00 PM).
The system also provides up to 20 programmable
“timers” available to the end user for the purpose of
activating output devices at preset times and days.
Time Window Definitions
Scheduled events are based on time windows, (periods
of time) during which an event may take place. The
system supports up to 20 time windows, each defined
by a “Start” time and a “Stop” time.
The windows are shared by all 8 partitions, and are
used when programming the various schedules
(open/close, limitation of access), as well as for Time-
Driven event control.
Scheduling Example
A store that has the following hours:
Monday to Friday
9am to 6pm
Saturday
10am to 4pm
Sunday Closed
Holidays Closed
The owner desires the following time windows to allow
time for employees to arm or disarm the system:
Monday to Friday
Open (disarm)
8am to 9am
Close (arm)
6pm to 6:30pm
Saturday
Open (disarm)
9am to 10am
Close (arm)
4pm to 4:30pm
Sunday & Holidays
Closed
For this schedule, the four time windows need to be
programmed:
Window Start Stop
Purpose
1
8am
9am
Monday-Friday open window
2
9am
10am
Saturday open window
3
4pm
4:30pm
Saturday close window
4
6pm
6:30pm
Monday-Fri. close window
Using the
#80 Menu Mode
, the installer can program
open/close schedules by assigning a time window to a day
of the week (windows are entered as 2-digit entries)
Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun Hol
Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl Op/Cl
01/04 01/04 01/04 01/04 01/05 02/03 00/00 00/00
NOTE:
00
is entered for those days on which the store
is closed.
Employees can arm and disarm the system, when
programmed, within the open and close time windows
without causing a report to be sent to the central station
(reporting by exception, field 2*09). The system can be
programmed to automatically arm/disarm in case an
employee fails to arm/disarm manually (auto-arm/auto-
disarm).
