EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION

Early warning fire detection is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors have played a key role in reducing fire deaths in the United States. With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72). These recommendations can be found on page 47 of this manual.

This manual is a step-by-step guide that will acquaint you with the system's features and benefits. It defines the components and their functions, describes their operation, and provides clear step-by-step instructions for normal and emergency procedures. Keep this manual in a convenient place so that you can refer to it as necessary.

Introduction

Congratulations on your ownership of an ADEMCO Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today, and millions of premises are protected by ADEMCO systems. This system provides:

• Three forms of protection: burglary, fire* and emergency

• At least one keypad which provides control of system and displays system status

• Various sensors for perimeter and interior burglary protection

• Smoke or combustion detectors* designed to provide early warning in case of fire. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a Central Monitoring Station.

* Commercial installations and some residential systems may not include fire protection – check with your installer.

NOTE: The features and procedures described in this manual apply to both the VISTA-20P/PS Series and VISTA-15P Series security systems. Differences are noted where applicable.

System Basics

Burglary Protection

• Several modes of burglary protection: Stay, Night-Stay, Away, Instant, Maximum. STAY: arms perimeter zones only and entry delay is on INSTANT: same as STAY, except entry delay is off NIGHT-STAY: arms perimeter zones and selected interior zones; entry delay on AWAY: arms perimeter and all interior zones, entry delay is on MAXIMUM: same as AWAY, except entry delay is off

• You can BYPASS selected zones while leaving the rest of the system armed.

• CHIME mode alerts you to the opening of protected doors and windows while the system is disarmed.

Fire Protection

• Fire protection is always active (if installed) and an alarm sounds if a fire condition is detected

• If necessary, you can manually initiate a fire alarm using the keypad (if programmed).

• Refer to the Fire Alarm System section for information regarding fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes.

Security Codes

• You were assigned a 4-digit security code during system installation.

• Use your security code when arming and disarming the system, and when performing other system functions.

• Other users can be assigned different security codes, each with different authority levels, which define the system functions a particular user can perform.

System Overview

– 5 –

System Overview

Zones and Partitions

•

The system sensing devices have been assigned to various “zones,” which are specific areas of protection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.).

• Zone numbers are displayed at the keypad when an alarm or trouble condition occurs on a sensor.

• Partitions (VISTA-20P/PS Series) provide two independent areas of protection, with each partition containing a group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting other zones or users.

• Partitioned systems (VISTA-20P/PS Series) can include a common zone area, which is an area shared by users of both partitions (such as a lobby in a building).

Arming, Step-Arming and Disarming Burglary Protection

•

The system must be armed before the burglary protection can sense intrusions.

• To arm your system, enter your user code followed by the desired arming key.

• If programmed, the [#] key can be pressed instead of entering the security code when arming the system.

• You can also use the step-arming feature if programmed, to arm the system. This is a function key that allows you to arm the system in one of three modes by simply pressing the key repeatedly.

• To disarm the system, enter your user code, then press the [OFF] key.

Alarms

•

When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm.

• If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station, an alarm message will also be sent.

• To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.

Memory of Alarm

• When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm.

• The message remains displayed even after disarming the system, but can be cleared with another “off” sequence.

Function Keys

• The “A,” “B,” “C,” and “D” keys on the keypad can be programmed to perform various functions.

• Functions include: activate a panic alarm, arm the system, provide step arming, switch lights on/off, send a message to a pager, display Time/Date, and start a programmed Macro sequence.

Phone Access

• If included, a phone module permits you to access the system via a touch-tone phone, either on-premises or by call-in when away.

• When you call in, the phone module announces system status over the telephone, and you can arm/disarm the system and perform most function commands remotely using the telephone keys.

• Complete information for using these features is provided with the voice module.

(cont’d)

– 6 –

Paging Feature

• If programmed, the system can automatically send certain system condition messages to up to four (VISTA-20P/PS Series) or two (VISTA-15P Series) pagers.

• The display consists of code numbers that indicate the type of condition that has occurred.

Scheduling

• Your system can be programmed to automatically perform certain functions (e.g., arm the system) at a predetermined time each day.

Using the Voice Message Center

Voice keypads feature a voice message center that lets you record and playback one message.

• The message can be up to 2.5-minutes long

• The message remains in the Keypad’s memory until a new message is recorded.

• The volume control of the message is adjustable.

• Refer to the procedures below when using the Message Center functions.

Entry/Exit Delays

Entry Delay

Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance door. You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad beeps during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first is for your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary entrance, where a longer delay is required to walk to the keypad to disarm the system.

You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the INSTANT or MAXIMUM arming mode. This mode provides greater security while on the premises or while away for extended periods of time.

See your installer for your delay times.

Exit delay begins immediately after arming your system in any arming mode and Alpha Display keypads display the message “You May Exit Now.” When “You may exit now” disappears, the system is fully armed. If programmed, a slow beeping will sound during the exit delay period until the last 10 seconds, which then changes to fast beeping (alerting you to the end of exit delay). If you cannot leave within this delay time period, you should stop, disarm the system, and start over to avoid a false alarm.

Exit Alarms

Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted when the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message "CANCELED ALARM" or "CA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station.

To clear the exit alarm condition, the open zone must be made intact; to clear the display, enter your 4-digit code plus OFF.

If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an entry/exit door or interior zone is still open, the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station. The message ""EXIT ALARM" or "EA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. To stop the alarm, the system must be disarmed (your code plus OFF); to clear the display, enter your code plus OFF a second time.

An “exit alarm” also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes after the end of the exit delay.

Your system may have been programmed for this feature to minimize false alarms sent to the Central Monitoring Station. Ask your installer if "Exit Alarm" is active in

your system. If so, check this box.

Single Button Arming

The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys on your keypad may have been programmed for single-button arming. Note that while it is not necessary to use a security code for arming (by using the Quick Arm method described previously), a security code must always be used to disarm the system.

If Single-Button Arming is programmed:

• A function key has been assigned to a specific type of arming: STAY mode, NIGHT-STAY mode, AWAY mode, or STEP-ARMING (see Step-Arming paragraph).

• You DO NOT need to enter your user code before pressing the function key but

you always need your user security code to DISARM the system.

Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows.

Press and hold the assigned function key for 2

seconds (no code is required). Function keys are shown below.

The keypad begins beeping and displays the

armed message. The red ARMED indicator also lights.

Single Button “Step” Arming

Single-Button “Step” arming may be programmed into one of the lettered keys (A, B, C, or D). Check with your installer to see if this has been done in your system.

If Step-Arming is programmed:

• The assigned key provides a choice of three levels of security.

• The selected key can be pressed once, twice, or three times, increasing the level of

security with each press, as follows

Using the Keyswitch

Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming. Red and green lights on the keyswitch plate indicate the status of your system as follows: Green Light: Lights when the system is disarmed and ready to be armed (no

open zones). If the system is disarmed and the green light is off, it indicates the system is not ready (one or more zones are open).

Red Light: Lights or flashes when system is armed in AWAY or STAY mode.

See your installer for the meanings of the lit red light:

system armed STAY and exit delay has expired Flashing = system armed STAY and exit delay timer active Rapid flashing = an alarm has occurred (memory of alarm).

Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows.

To arm in the AWAY mode:

Turn the key to the right for 1/2 second and release.

Keypads beep twice and the red indicator lights or flashes.

To arm in the STAY mode:

Turn the key to the right and hold for longer than 1

second, then release. Keypads beep three times and the red indicator lights or flashes.

To disarm the system:

Turn the key to the right and release. The red light

turns off
