Configurable Zone Types Worksheets
Configurable zone types 90 and 91 can be programmed via downloader software or from a keypad using data
fields*182-*185. Configurable zone types 92 and 93 (VISTA-20P only) can only be programmed using the
downloader software.
Programming Configurable Zone Type options involves entering 10 digits in data field *182 for zone type 90 and
field *184 for zone type 91, where each digit represents the sum of the values of its various options as shown in
the tables below. Use fields *183 and *185 to program Contact ID report codes for these zone types.

To calculate each digit's entry:
8 = yes
Simply add the values of the selected options
in each of the digit's columns (one option per
column). For example, to program Digit 2 for
"alarm response to short," "auto restore on,"
but not a "vent zone," enter 5 ("1" for alarm
short + "4" for auto restore yes + "0" for vent
Fault Delay
zone no).
(see field *87)
0 = no
8 = use delay
