The wiring diagram for a 128FB indicates to use the + and - DC outputs that powers the keypads (terminals 11 and 12 on my diagram). This is consistant to standard Ademco practice.

i am looking at the diagram and it says aux power for extra keypads. this is ok to use for motions glassbreaks and keypads? and where is aux. power #2?

Above the regular keypad terminals is a quick connect plug for a second set of keypads (for the second partition, if this one is like the Vista-100 which I've worked on a few times).

But yes, nearly _all_ ademco design panels use those terminals for device aux power as well as for keypad power (_all_ of the current generation systems as far as I can tell).
