Security System Help

  1. I Highly advise reading over at the Vista20p manual and programming manual. Since you will be doing some programming, Id advise printing out the programming manual, as it helped me reprogram the system. Make sure you have an Alpha-Capable keypad (6160/6139) and the Installer Code.

  2. Carson pretty much already answered this…

  3. If the system is not monitored already, you can use an EyezOn EnvisaLink 4 which is an IP communicator that can dispatch a Text as well as alert Emergency Services upon alarm.

4/5. Yes, Vista20p’s are capable of Fire and CO Detection, and the best way to implement this with your setup is using the System Sensor I4 Series of detectors, which have both Fire and CO detection. With the Needed COSMOD Module, you can use both your existing I3’s and I4s on the same circuit. Unfortunately, the COSMOD/I4’s run in the $100s per unit range, and are usually expensive…
