You may use a Commercial Fire Listed 24VDC Power Supply to convert one or both VISTA-128FBPT/VISTA250FBPT 12VDC, 1.7A style-Y supervised Special Application Notification Appliance Circuits to 24V, style-Y
supervised, Special Application Notification Appliance Circuits.

Burglary Notification Appliance Circuits must be programmed for a timeout of 16 minutes or longer.
Commercial fire alarm systems require Notification Appliance Circuits to be supervised.
Notification Appliance Circuit Supervision
The VISTA-128FBPT/VISTA-250FBPT monitors the Notification Appliance Circuits wiring for open and short circuit
faults while the output is inactive. The system provides a trouble indication (Zone 970 Bell 1; 971 Bell 2) when an open
occurs. When a short occurs between the Bell (+) and Bell (-) terminal wiring, or between the Bell (+) terminal wiring
and earth ground the system provides a trouble indication (972 Earth Ground).
The VISTA-128FBPT/VISTA-250FBPT indicates the trouble condition regardless of whether the system is armed or
disarmed. The zone displays on the keypads, reports to the event log, and transmits to the central station (if
programmed) on Partition 1. The trouble is cleared from the display by entering the user code + OFF.
UL
ULC
Use only UL Listed sounding devices for UL installations.
In Commercial Fire installations, the 4204CF cannot be used to drive sounders in the same audible area as
sounders connected to the alarm outputs of the control panel.
For ULC fire installations, alarm indicating devices must not be connected to the fire transmitter. These
devices must be connected to the Fire Alarm Control Panel.
Synchronization Requirements for Commercial Fire
Notification Appliance Circuit outputs must be wired to a Sync Module if more than one device is used. Follow
instructions provided with Sync Module. Be sure to use the compatible Sync Module for the Alarm Indicating Device
selected.

Supervising the Notification Appliance Circuits
To wire the NAC using the supervision feature, perform the following:
Install a 2K EOL resistor (Model 2EOL, supplied) across the last notification appliance on each Notification Appliance
Circuit to be supervised.
Auxiliary Relay Connections
The VISTA-128FBPT/VISTA-250FBPT provides a built-in Form C relay with contacts rated at 28VAC/VDC, 2.8A. The
relay may be programmed (field 3∗61) for one of the following functions:
•
Alarm Activation
•
Trouble/Supervisory Activation
•
4-Wire Smoke Detector Reset
•
Battery Saver
Alarm Activation
(3∗61 = 1 or 4) Steady activation in response to an alarm.
If field 3∗61 = 1, the auxiliary relay remains active until Aux. Relay Timeout expires or until User Code + OFF is
entered. This option can be used to provide an unsupervised Notification Appliance Circuit for supplementary strobes,
sounders, etc. when wired to the Aux Power 1 or a separate power supply, see Figure 3-8.
If field 3∗61 = 4, the auxiliary relay remains activated until User Code + # + 67 is entered. By default, the relay is set
to activate on alarm zones 1-8 with no timeout (field 3∗61 = 1).
When field 3∗61 = 1, the auxiliary relay can be programmed to give a brief activation for confirmation of arming ding
(field 3∗57) or Chime Mode (field 3∗59).
