I'm in the process of adding a new motion sensor and have a question. I have a Vista panel and want to add a new zone for the new sensor. Can anyone help me with the programming to do this? I have the sensor mounted and wired and it seems to be picking up motion. I did notice the other motion sensor I have has 2 power wires and 2 marked R. The new sensor I purchased has 2 power and 3 others marked NC C EOL.

Not yet. I tried to enter the default installer code that the manual stated to get into programming mode and no luck. I'm using xxxx x x. It's a Vista 10. Maybe the installer code was changed when it was installed. The only code I have is the Master. Now I'm thinking about resetting the thing by removing the battery and unplugging it. Then running through the set up again.

If you do not have the correct installers code, just powering down the system will not give yo a full reset. you will need to know what the installers code is.

Thomas, obviously a different company installed and programed the original system? Like Anthony pointed out, it will not default, you need that code.

Another solution may be to add the second motion in series with the first. The trouble with this is you will only have one zone for both motions. So if the alarm trips you will not know what area caused the alarm. But without the installers code this will be the only way to add the second motion.

The original panel was purchased new with the house it is less than 2 years old. It was working fine till I added an extra motion sensor and got in the programming part.
Ok I removed the panel and installed an Ademco 20P now the keypad is not compatible, just plain blank so I place an online order for an Ademco Graphic Touch Screen Keypad – 6270 hope this will work so I can program the panel. I do have a laptop and the compass software just never used it I think it take a special modem.

You are correct about the compass software, you will need a special modem...their should be a list of them with the compass software. As far as the 6270, I have never used it to program, I always used a 6160. Please let us know if you are able to program via the 6270. Personally I always like to install 2 keypads in a home. One at the main entrance and one in the master bedroom. this way if the alarm trips at night, you know what zone went off...just a thought if the 6270 do not work out for programming...good luck...keep us posted
