Macro Key Programming & Usage
About Macro Keys
The “A”, “B”, “C” or “D” keys can be used to automatically activate a series of
commands of up to 16 keystrokes, if programmed for this function. These keystrokes,
as a group, are called “macros” and are stored in the system's memory.
Typical macro functions can include:
-
Arming sequences: STAY, NIGHT-STAY, INSTANT, or AWAY
-
Bypassing particular zone(s)
-
Activating relay(s) for turning on (or off) lights, fans, etc.
Up to four (VISTA-20P Series) or two (VISTA-15P Series) macros can be
assigned – but no more than one macro to a key.
Macros can be activated only by users with authority levels authorized to
perform the macro’s function.
NOTE:
The installer must activate the desired function key (using *57 Function
key Menu Mode) before macros can be assigned.
See the chart at the back of this manual for the key(s) assigned for macros.

3. If a macro has been previously defined, the keystrokes
are shown on the bottom line of the display; otherwise
the display is blank.
To exit this mode (and keep the existing macro
definition), press any key except the [
] key. The
system returns to normal mode.
To define a macro for the selected key, press [
] and
continue with the next prompt.
