All the polling loop devices for the Vector 3000 are compatible with the
Vista Series polling loop.  Depending upon how the 4152LM is configured,
it can be used as either a Class "A" polling loop return or a separate
polling loop (it doesn't allow you to expand the system beyond the
maximum number of polling loop modules for your system).  I recently
upgraded two Vector 3000's installed on the same job.  I replaced it
with a Vista 128FB and just had to reprogram the duplicate 4190WH ID
numbers.  "Piece of Cake" and the customer's really pleased with the
fact that the room numbers come up on a single new LCD screen (which
replaces the two LED keypads he had before).  :-)
