In today's video, Dylan will show you how to wire, include (Z-Wave), and program a Zooz ZEN16 MultiRelay with a Qolsys IQ Panel 4. The Zooz ZEN16 is a suitable replacement for the Fortrezz MIMOLite, which has been discontinued. A big difference between the MIMOLite and the ZEN16 is that the MIMOLite was a Form C relay that could be wired as Normally Open or Normally Closed. The ZEN16 is a Normally Open relay that closes or provides a short when activated. This is referred to as Form B.

Our examples in this video show the wiring and programming commonly used when adding a siren or strobe to the system. Most all-in-one alarm systems have either a low-current siren output or no siren output. For users replacing a wired system with a modern all-in-one system, where a high-current wired siren is already in place, adding a relay and a power supply will allow the existing siren to be used.
The examples in this video show the bare minimum rule programming necessary to use the Zooz ZEN16 MultiRelay to activate a siren on the system. In the FAQ linked at the bottom of this description, we provide more information and additional recommended programming. We encourage you to check out the FAQ in addition to the video.

![Honeywell VISTA-20P, VISTA-15P, VISTA-21iPLTE: Custom Word or Phrase on Alpha Keypad
In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to set a customized word or phrase on an Alphanumeric Keypad for a Honeywell VISTA P-Series Security System. This is a great way to add a touch of personalization to your VISTA System, as the message will be there to greet you whenever you use the keypad to operate the system. It will also be displayed on any other Alphanumeric Keypad that is on the same partition as the message that you adjust. For reference, the Honeywell VISTA-15P is a single-partition system that you can just treat as Partition 1, while the Honeywell VISTA-20P, VISTA-21iP, and VISTA-21iPLTE Systems include Partitions 1 and 2, plus a Common Lobby Partition.
The process for setting the customized word or message can be a bit tricky at first, but it really isnt so bad once you get the hang of it. First, you must get into programming by using the command [Installer Code] + [8] + [00]. Remember that the default Installer Code is [4112], so try that code first if you dont know what else it may be. Then get into the Alpha Programming Field with the command [*82]. Choose [1] for Yes, and then enter the two-digit code for the partition whose custom word you are editing. This is [11] for Partition 1, [12] for Partition 2, or [13] for the Common Lobby Partition. Then you will enter the custom word or phrase. The word or phrase can be up to 16 characters maximum. Use [#] plus a two-digit code for enter a character, with character codes ranging from [#32] to [#90]. For reference, letters start at [#65] for A, and run thru [#90] for Z. You can use [6] to move to the next character slot to the right, and [4] to move to the previous character slot to the left. Refer to the systems Installation Manual for a complete list of two-digit character codes. Once you have the desired word or phrase entered, press [8] to save. Then exit programming by entering [00] at the Custom? screen, followed by [0] at the Program Alpha? screen, and lastly [*99] to exit programming. The change will be saved, as long as you pressed [8] at the screen when entering the custom word or phrase.
