Here is my problem,

I bought an ademco 5881 transmitter and received it without the little connector (plug) that interfaces it to the vista 20 panel. Now I am willing to hook it up to the panel and there are 4 wires to be connected but there are 5 pins in the 5881 connector and none is identified for the color order. If one could help identify the right pins for the right wire color...

Thanks

Richard

I think that the order from top to bottom is Yellow, Red, Black, Green. I'm pretty sure the one at the top is the null connector.

That seems to be the logical order from schematics... You say the first pin on top would be the one that is unused?

I _think_ so. When you have the connector, you don't really look closely at the terminals. I take it you got "ebay shortchanged".
