INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
GENERAL INFORMATION


The
VISTAHEXPHW
expansion module provides eight additional
hardwired zones
(16 using Zone Doubling)
to compatible First Alert Pro

VISTA
Hybrid Control Panels. Depending on the application, it
connects to the control’s iBus wiring terminals and is mounted
remotely.

INSTALLATION

•

The module has a built
-in tamper, allowing it to detect and report the
removal of its cover to the control panel.

•

Communication with the module is supervised. If the wiring is cut,
a supervision
or alarm signal will result, indicating that this module
(and possibly other devices connected to the iBus wiring) has
become inoperative.

Agency Notes:

•
For dry, indoor use only.

•
Do not install in air
-handling spaces.

•
Use only 14-
22 AWG wire.

•
All zones are Class B

•
The device is NFPA
-72 Compliant

•
For
Commercial Burglary installations:

- The module must be tamper
-protected or mounted in a tamper
-
protected cabinet.
- No more than one wire per terminal may be used.

MOUNTING

1. Push the button on top of the module to open the cover.


2a. For surface installations, using the 5 provided screws [2a], mount
the back case to the wall using the designated mounting holes and
back case tamper [2b].


2b. For gang box installations, carefully remove PCB and using the 5
provided screws [2a], mount the back case to the wall using the
designated mounting holes and back case tamper [2b].


3. Using best practices, choose the appropriate knockout [3a] to feed
the wires through (or use the hole provided in the back of the box
[3b])
and wire as needed.

IMPORTANT:

Damage to product can occur if incorrectly wired.
See summary
of connections for proper wiring.


4.
Rotate th
e cover and snap it into place [4
a], secure it with provided
lock screw [4
b].

WIRING LIMITATIONS

CONNECTIONS AND SETTINGS



1.

Power should be disconnected before
proceeding.

2.

Be sure to mount the module before making any wire
connections.

Using the summary of connections above
, using best practices, wire
each zone accordingly using the provided 2.2k Ohm resistor to the
terminal block across the bottom.

Connect to the control’s iBus Bus terminals via a 4
-position terminal
block (in the upper right
-hand corner), see the diagram on the other
side of this page.

After powering up, enroll the module through the panel's iBus
programming.
Refer to the control’s installation instructions for
specific information on enabling and configuring each zone.
This
module supports: Normally Open, Normally Closed, Double Balanced,
Zone Doubling, and EOL (End of Line Resistor) types. After enrollment,
the module is configurable via the control panel programming or the
app.

ENROLLMENT


1.

The unique identifier defined on the attached label is required.

2.

The control panel
automatically
assigns each zone to the next
available zone starting
with
zone 9. (i.e., If zone 9 is used, it will
start on zone 10
.)

3.

Confirm and document each zone and its assignments for multi
-
module installations to prevent confusion.
