I have a FA168CPS. I wasn't the original buyer. But after living with the system for a few years, it behaves like a Vista 10/15 (including programming commands).

I would like to add a EnvisaLink 3 to my system. Is it compatible?
Thanks

No one? Nothing? Nada?

I honestly have no idea what it is. Maybe try a Honeywell forum and see if someone can tell you what it "really" is.

I have no experience with it either, but searching around makes me believe it is a 20P. Unless first alert does something strange to the board, I would guess that it is compatible.

Agreed it acts like a Vista. I've done some basic programming using a Vista 10/15 manual and the commands all worked the same. I also added a Honeywell 6160 keypad without any problems.

So I assume that the EnvisaLink would work without any problems, but was hoping for some quasi-official support/feedback.
Thanks

What you need to determine is whether it is a Vista P or a Vista SE. The Envisalink won't work with the older SE models. The key difference is whether the keypads and modules are addressable.

Any hits as to how to tell the difference?

Take a look at your installers manual. Does it have Keypad sections like *190, 191, 192 etc?

You can also take a picture of it and send it to our support group. One of the Ademco gurus would be able to figure it out.

So I finally got around to playing with the system. After entering programming mode, I pressed #41 to verify the phone in the event the system is tripped. I then tried #190 and #191. The response was verifying Keypad address locations.

Is it fair to assume that it is compatible now?

Yep, that would indicate it's a P. The only "P" that doesn't work with the Envisalink is the 50P. But I doubt you have that.
