General:

The alarm control panel is powered by an included plug-in 120VAC transformer. This wires to terminals 1 and 2 on the VISTA 20P alarm control panel’s terminal strip. Terminals 4 and 5 provide auxiliary power (up to a maximum of 12VDC, 600mA) for powering devices like keypads, motion detectors, glass break detectors, etc. Terminals 3 and 4 supply up to 12VDC, 2AMP alarm output for compatible sounders. When a burglar alarm is tripped, the VISTA 20P uses a steady output and when a fire alarm is tripped, a temporal pulse is used. A rechargeable sealed lead-acid type battery can also be used to provide backup power during power outages. You must use at least a 12VDC, 4AH backup battery which should provide up to (24) hours of backup power.
