Help needed - Vista-20P sets to Fault every time I trip door sensor.

Hi all,
I am in the process of installing Vista-20P. I have setup RF Receiver
5881 and registered wireless door sensor to Zone 10.
The problem is that even when the system is disarmed once door sensor
is tripped it starts showing Fault at zone 10. Did I do something
wrong registering the sensor?
Once it faults, it never goes back to Ready state. The only way that I
found out to clear the Fault is to enter/exit the programming mode.
- Why doe it Fault once the sensor is tripped?
- How to clear Faults?

Thank you.

check sensor for proper loop if using a magnet it should be loop 2 if
using a contact with wire use loop 1 and that should solve problem.
panel should fault than go back to normal.

Also check to see if you mounted the sensor upside down...I have done
that a few times myself. If you open the transmitter, you will see the
glass reed switch on the side. Ademco has marks on the outside of the
transmitter for proper alignment. Sometimes the serial number label
cover those alignment marks.

If you install the transmitter upside down, does that mean that you
have to install the receiver upside down as well?

Only if you live in China, or any other country opposite the globe. To
test this, you simply flush a toilet. If the water circles
counterclockwise, then you must install your receiver upside down for
proper alignment to the earth's gravitational field.

Funny you should mention the toilet. I just tested the gravitational
field in my bowl just now and its working perfectly. I was able to
ascertain this when the turd dropped and splashed water all over my
butt. I hate when that happens.

HOW TO TAKE A DUMP AT WORK...

We've all been there but don't like to admit it. We've all kicked back
in our cubicles and suddenly felt something brew down below. As much as
we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORK DUMPis inevitable. For
those who hate 'taking the boys to the pool' at work, following is the
Survival Guide 2001 for taking a dump at work. Memorize these
definitions and dumping at work will become a pure pleasure.

ESCAPEE. Definition: a fart that slips out while taking a leak at the
urinal or forcing poo in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a
sudden wave of panic embarrassment. This is similar to the hot flash you
receive when passing an unseen police car and speeding. If you release
an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are
standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend you did not hear it.
No one likes an escapee; it is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a
joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.

JAILBREAK (Used in conjunction with ESCAPEE). Definition: When forcing
poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This is usually a
side effect of diarrhoea or a hangover. If this should happen, do not
panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom so to
spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.

COURTESY FLUSH. Definition: The act of flushing the toilet the instant
the nose cone of the log hits the water and it is whisked away to an
undisclosed location. This reduces the amount of airtime the poo has to
stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the
WALK OF SHAME.

WALK OF SHAME. Definition: Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the
door after you have just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very
uncomfortable moment if someone walks in and busts you. As with all
farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist. Can be
avoided with the use of the COURTESY FLUSH.

OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER. Definition: A colleague who dumps at work and
damn proud of it. You will often see an Out Of The Closet Pooper enter
the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under their arm. Always look
around the office for the Out Of The Closet Pooper before entering the
bathroom.

THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (PFN). Definition: A group of co-workers who
band together to ensure emergency dumping goes off without incident.
This group can help you to monitor the whereabouts of Out Of The Closet
Poopers, and identify SAFE HAVENS.

SAFE HAVENS. Definition: Seldom-used bathrooms somewhere in the building
where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly
of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds of a dumperof your sex
entering the bathroom.

TURD BURGLAR: Definition: A pooper who does not realize that you are in
the stall and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most
shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a dump at
work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves.
This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.

CAMO-COUGH. Definition: A phoney cough that alerts all new entrants into
the bathroom that you are in a stall. This can be used to cover-up a
WATERMELON, or to alert potential Turd Burglars. Very effective when
used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.

ASTAIRE. Definition: A subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential
Turd Burglars that you are occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt
that the stall is occupied. If you hear an Astaire, leave the bathroom
immediately so the pooper can poop in peace.

WATERMELON. Definition: A turd that creates a loud splash when hitting
the toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a
Watermelon coming on, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH.

HAVANA OMELETTE. Definition: A load of diarrhoea that creates a series
of loud splashes in the toilet water. Often accompanied by an Escapee.
Try using a Camo-Cough with an Astaire.

UNCLE TED. Definition: A bathroom user who seems to linger around
forever. Could spend extended lengths of time in front of the mirror or
sitting on the pot. An Uncle Ted makes it difficult to relax while on
the crapper, as you should always wait to drop your load when the
bathroom is empty. This benefits you as well as the other bathroom
attendees.

FLY BY. Definition: The act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping.
Walk in and check for other poopers. If there are others in the
bathroom, leave and come back again. Be careful not to become a…

FREQUENT FLYER. People may become suspicious if they catch you
constantly going into the bathroom. :)

That's the best example of "Bathroom" humor I've ever seen.

It was good, but I prefer the classics.



SHIT LIST !!!
------------------------
THE GHOST SHIT
The kind where you feel shit come out, see shit on the toilet paper, but
there's no shit in the bowl.

THE CLEAN SHIT
The kind where you feel shit come out, see shit in the bowl, but there's
no shit on the toilet paper.

THE WET SHIT
You wipe your ass fifty times and it still feels unwiped. So you end up
putting toilet paper between your ass and your underwear so you don't ruin
them with those dreadful skid marks.

THE SECOND WAVE SHIT
This shit happens when you've finished, your pants are up to your knees,
and you suddenly realize you have to shit some more.

THE BRAIN HEMORRAHAGE THROUGH YOUR NOSE SHIT
Also known as "Pop a Vein in your Forehead Shit".
You have to strain so much to get it out that you turn purple and
practically have a stroke.

THE CORN SHIT
No explanation necessary.

THE LINCOLN LOG SHIT
The kind of shit that's so enormous you're afraid to flush it down
without first breaking it up into little pieces with the toilet brush.

THE NOTORIUS DRINKER SHIT
The kind of shit you have the morning after a long night of drinking.
It's most noticeable trait is the tread mark left on the bottom of the
toilet bowl after you flush.

THE "GEE, I REALLY WISH I COULD SHIT" SHIT-
The kind where you want to shit, but even after straining your guts out,
all you can do is sit on the toilet, cramped and farting.

THE WET CHEEKS SHIT
Also known as the "Power Dump". That's the kind that comes out of your
ass so fast that your butt cheeks get splashed with the toilet water.

THE LIQUID SHIT
That's the kind where yellowish-brown liquid shoots out of your butt,
splashes all over the side of the toilet bowl and, at the same time,
chronically burns your tender poop-chute.

THE MEXICAN FOOD SHIT
A class all its own.

THE CROWD PLEASER
This shit is so intriguing in size and/or appearance that you have to
show it to someone before flushing.

THE MOOD ENHANCER
This shit occurs after a lengthy period of constipation, thereby
allowing you to be your old self again.

THE RITUAL
This shit occurs at the same time each day and is accomplished with
the aid of a newspaper.

THE GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS SHIT
A shit so noteworthy it should be recorded for future generations.

THE AFTERSHOCK SHIT
This shit has an odour so powerful than anyone entering the vicinity
within the next 7 hours is affected.

THE "HONEYMOON'S OVER" SHIT
This is any shit created in the presence of another person.

THE GROANER
A shit so huge it cannot exit without vocal assistance.

THE FLOATER
Characterized by its floatability, this shit has been known to
resurface after many flushings.

THE RANGER
A shit which refuses to let go. It is usually necessary to engage in
a rocking or bouncing motion, but quite often the only solution is to
push it away with a small piece of toilet paper.

THE PHANTOM SHIT
This appears in the toilet mysteriously and no one will admit to
putting it there.

THE PEEK-A-BOO SHIT
Now you see it, now you don't. This shit is playing games with
you. Requires patience and muscle control.

THE BOMBSHELL
A shit that comes as a complete surprise at a time that is either
inappropriate to shit (ie. during lovemaking or a root canal) or you
are nowhere near shitting facilities.

THE SNAKE CHARMER
A long skinny shit which has managed to coil itself into a frightening
position - usually harmless.

THE OLYMPIC SHIT
This shit occurs exactly one hour prior to the start of any competitive
event in which you are entered and bears a close resemblance to the
Drinker's Shit.

THE BACK-TO-NATURE SHIT
This shit may be of any variety but is always deposited either in the
woods or while hiding behind the passenger side of your car.

THE PEBBLES-FROM-HEAVEN SHIT
An adorable collection of small turds in a cluster, often a gift from
God when you actually CAN'T shit.

PREMEDITATED SHIT
Laxative induced. Doesn't count.

SHITZOPHERENIA
Fear of shitting - can be fatal!

ENERGIZER vs DURACELL SHIT
Also known as a "Still Going" shit.

THE POWER DUMP SHIT
The kind that comes out so fast, you barely get your pants down when
you're done.

THE LIQUID PLUMBER SHIT
This kind of shit is so big it plugs up the toilet and it overflows all
over the floor. (You should have followed the advice from the Lincoln Log
Shit.)

THE SPINAL TAP SHIT
The kind of shit that hurts so much coming out, you'd swear it's got to
be coming out sideways.

THE "I THINK I'M GIVING BIRTH THROUGH MY ASSHOLE" SHIT
Similar to the Lincoln Log and The Spinal Tap Shits. The shape and size
of the turd resembles a tall boy beer can. Vacuous air space remains in
the rectum for some time afterwards.

THE PORRIDGE SHIT
The type that comes out like toothpaste, and just keeps on coming. You
have two choices: (a) flush and keep going, or (b) risk it piling up to
your butt while you sit there helpless.

THE "I'M GOING TO CHEW MY FOOD BETTER" SHIT
When the bag of Doritos you ate last night lacerates the insides of your
rectum on the way out in the morning.

THE "I THINK I'M TURNING INTO A BUNNY" SHIT
When you drop lots of cute, little round ones that look like marbles and
make tiny splashing sounds when they hit the water.

THE "WHAT THE HELL DIED IN HERE?" SHIT
Also sometimes referred to as The Toxic Dump. Of course you don't warn
anyone of the poisonous bathroom odour. Instead, you stand innocently
near the door and enjoy the show as they run out gaggin and gasping for
air.

THE "I JUST KNOW THERE'S A TURD STILL DANGLING THERE" SHIT
Where you just sit there patiently and wait for the last cling-on to drop
off because if you wipe now, it's going to smear all over the place.
