Adding and Deleting Zones Using the Tuxedo Keypad

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to add and delete zones using the Honeywell Home Tuxedo Keypad. The Tuxedo has a feature called Console Mode that allows it to emulate an Alphanumeric Keypad, such as a Honeywell 6160. You can use Console Mode to add and delete zones in the same way that you would do so on an Alphanumeric Keypad. The process will involve entering into Installer Programming and then using the [*56] option to add and delete system zones.

With the standard hardware, a Honeywell VISTA System is only capable of supporting hardwired sensors. If you want to begin using wireless sensors with the system, then you must add a wireless receiver module. A compatible wireless receiver will allow you to start pairing wireless Honeywell 5800 Series Sensors with the panel For a wired zone, you will choose the Zone Number that corresponds with the zone terminals where you have connected the sensor. As for wireless zones, they will use Zone Numbers that are not hardcoded as wired zones. For a VISTA-20P, wireless zones can begin at Zone 9. For a VISTA-15P, they begin at Zone 7. Keep in mind though that wireless zones can also be used as wired zones if one or more zone expansion modules are used.

When configuring Honeywell VISTA System zones, there are many settings you must adjust. One very important step is setting the Zone Type, which may also be referred to as the Response Type. This setting determines how the system responds when the sensor is faulted. You need to make sure to choose the correct Zone Type or else the system will not respond in the manner that you want. You may want to review the possible Zone Types for a VISTA System so that you know which types to use with different sensors.
