Vista 20 Programming
#1

Does anyone know the setup for field 35 on a Vista 20. I have the manual for the Vista 20 SE that shows you can enter a two digit code to represent seconds but my control only accepts single digits that I assume are coded. Also my control does not show field 34 as exit delay. Is it programmable? Field 36 does not represent delay 2. Is it programmable?

The Vista 20 programming is different than the Vista 20SE programming:
Ademco Vista-20 Program Sheet
Enter Program 1. 4112 + 8 + 0 + 0 (Display should show 20)
or Power down then back up and press * and # within 1 minute
(If exiting programming you can re-enter within 1 minute by pressing * and #)
Move to Location * + Location
View Location # + Location (Display will read off one digit at a time)
Exit Program 1. *98 OR 2. *99 if needing to re-enter programming later by Code + 8 + 00
If trying to enter a location and display shows FF that location does not exist (older version)
