VISTA-40 Installation and Setup Guide
Power Limiting Outputs
All outputs are power-limited as per UL985/UL1023.
The following table shows the maximum current that
may be drawn from each output.
Output
Auxiliary Power
Polling Loop
Alarm Output
For Household Fire or Combination Household
Fire/Burglary Installation: The total current drawn
from the auxiliary power, the polling loop, and the
alarm output combined must not exceed 750mA to
comply with the battery independence requirements in
UL985.
For Household Burglary-Only Installations: The
total current drawn from the alarm output may be up to
1.7A. A battery must be installed to supply the current
of the combined auxiliary power, polling loop, and
alarm output in excess of 750mA.
PRIMARY POWER
Supplied by a transformer
which is rated at
16.5VAC, 40VA.
Caution must be taken when
wiring this transformer to the
panel to guard against blowing
the fuse inside the transformer
(non-replaceable).
NOTE:
WHEN POWERING UP
THE PANEL, PLUG THE
TRANSFORMER IN BEFORE
CONNECTING THE BATTERY.

Failure to observe the polling loop current
rating will cause polling loop malfunction.
Failure to observe the auxiliary power current
rating will result in a battery that does not
charge properly or possibly a tripped circuit
breaker.
Action
Connect all installed devices to the control.
Wire the 1361 Transformer (1361CN in
Canada) to the panel (before connecting the
battery) as shown in Figure 3-29, or wire the
1361X10 Transformer as shown in Figure 3-
30 (if using X-10 devices).
Plug the transformer into a 24-hour,
uninterrupted, 120VAC, 60Hz outlet. After
a few seconds, the keypad display appears.
