Difference between revisions of "Supported Panels"

Revision as of 13:00, 9 December 2013

The AlarmDecoder was designed to work with any alarm from the Ademco/Honeywell Vista series from the 90's right up to the latest 2013 Honeywell Vista 21IP and more recently DSC Power seriers alarms. This document will help identify if a given panel is compatible with the AlarmDecoder. Many of these alarm panels were sold under different names branded by the alarm monitoring company for example Safewatch Pro 3000/3000CN This is actually a Vista 20P

The Ademco LYNX Systems are NOT compatible as they do not support the 4 wire expansion bus the AD2USB connects to.

If after reading this you still are not sure if your panel is supported and are interested in the AlarmDecoder then send us an email with a picture of your alarm panel filling the full frame of your camera and we will check it out. ( please provide a general statement of release of the photo as we may use them on the website to help others )

The AlarmDecoder is compatible with any alarm that is also compatible with one of these Ademco/Honeywell keypads.

This is a partial list and many supported panels were sold under different names and model numbers so here are some tips in seeing if your panel will be compatible.

Look for a large wiring sticker inside the panel enclosure that shows the word(s) "Vista" "Ademco" "Honeywell"
Looc on the panel for words like "SAVS" and a series of numbers like "SAVS20P5" or "SAVS10SECE"

Vista 10SE	Vista 20P	Vista 30SE	Vista 21IP
Vista 128BP
