I had to do a take over of a Vista 20P the other day. Never did one
before. Since I don't have the compass software, I had to switch all
the CS info over by keypad. The progrming isn't hard but I found it
annoying to have to stand in front of the keypad, trying to juggle
manuals and write entries. I just don't DO that anymore.

I found a few what I considerd to be "weird" things about the program
but since it had been programed by the previous alarm company all I
had to do was make the CS changes and adjust a few things the way I do
it and mark down the info from each location. Worked ok on the first
CS test so I guess I did alright. One thing didn't turn out though.
There are some wireless xmitters. I had the zone list so I knew which
openings to check for xmitters. Bad thing is ...... I couldn't find
the damn Reciever. If it ever needs troubleshooting ......... I'll
just have to install another one, I guess. I always mark the location
of the sirens/speakers, xfmers, zone modules, and receivers on the
inside of the panel door ..... not for anyone else ... just so that
*** " I " *** can remember where the hell they are. Nothing like
trying to replace a faulty siren or transformer, when you don't
remember where the hell you put it and now it's hidden behind a
refrigerator or in a closet that wasn't there before.
