VA8201 Alpha Pager Module The VA8201 Alpha Pager Module (APM) provides the VISTA-128BP/128FBP and VISTA-250BP/ 250FBP control panels with alpha paging, parallel printer output, serial printer output and or home/ facility automation control functions using a RS232 bi-directional communications protocol. The APM transmits alphanumeric security control panel dependent messages to the paging service using Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol. F E AT U R E S • Alpha Paging via Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) • Shares same telephone line as alarm control panel • Parallel printer output • Serial output for use with serial printer or home/facility automation control • Easily mounts near control panel using bracket interface K5350 • RS232 bi-directional communications protocol S P E C I F I C AT I O N S Dimensions • 6-1/4”L x 6-1/8”W x 1-13/16”H Input Voltage • 12VDC (from control panel aux. power or aux. power supply) ORDERING VA8201 Alpha Pager Module Current • 63mA (standby mode) • 165mA (active mode) Compatibility • Works with: VISTA-128BP/128FBP and VISTA-250BP/250FBP VA8200 Panel Linking Module The VA8200 Panel Linking Module (PLM) allows up to eight VISTA-128BP/128FBP or VISTA-250BP/250FBP commercial alarm control panels to be linked together. Panel Linking allows multiple users to arm, disarm and check status of any partition, for any panel, all from one location. Each module connects to the ECP bus on the control panel, and communicates to other PLMs via the RS-485 bus (three wire twisted cable). F E AT U R E S • Control multiple systems, partitions or even buildings from one central location • Modules are supervised with local annunciation, central station reporting and/or paging service • Easy connection to the control panel via ECP bus • Up to eight systems can be linked together • Total wire run between PLM’s can be up to 4000 feet max. • Up to 50 users may be authorized to access other control panels in the network Dimensions Operating Temperature RS485 Wire Run Lengths • 6-7/16”H x 4-1/4”W x 1-1/4” D 163mm H x 108mm W x 32mm D • 0-50°C • The RS485 bus from one PLM to another cannot exceed 4000 ft. All combined bus runs combined cannot exceed 4000 ft. using 16 gauge twisted pair cable.
