Vista 20SE, 5882 question

Sep 18, 2006 5 Replies

I did major renovations to my house which involved removing my entire wired alarm system. And I want to re-install my previously hard wired Vista 20SE with all wireless sensors and keypads. I reset the system back to the default and removed zones 01-08. I got a 5882 wireless receiver and connected it to the keypad connections on the control panel and set it to address '0'. I thought I would see the 16 new zones starting from zone 09 or 10, but I don't. I do have a zone 09 with zone type 05 (expansion module supervision). The next zones I see are 92 -



  1. Is there something more to connecting up the 5882 on the 20Se ?



What should be the starting wireless zone offset ?



Any other information is greatly appreciated.



Thanks.



You have to enroll each wireless transmitter, then assign it a zone type and other attributes. You'll need a 6139 keypad and the programming manual to do this. Good luck!

Thanks for the response.

I do have a keypad connected and the programming manual. I go to *56 to enroll the devices. I have programmed these devices before when my system was previously configured. My old system had hardwired devices , with an expansion box and the wireless receiver with wireless devices. I got rid of the expansion box and just want all wireless.

I thought I would start enrolling upto 16 devices at zone 10, but I can't seem to select zones 10 - 26.

The system only seems to see zones 01-09, 92, 95, 96 and 99.

I assume that I have the 5882 connected correctly, in parallel with the keypad and set to address 0.

I don't see anything else to do.

Check program field 22.

At least I think so, with that particular model.

yep *22 should be set as 1

Hook your system to a phone line and find a technician that works (daily) with Ademco (Honeywell) to download a program into the panel. Have him print out the results and give you a copy. Honeywell sets a lot of defaults to let the panel work "out of the box" but unless you have a 6139 or 6160 keypad, the programming manual and some experience it will be error filled.
