IMPORTANT!

PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION

For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building.

In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the Central Monitoring Station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines).

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 43 of this manual.

System Overview

Introduction

Congratulations on your ownership of a Honeywell Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today. 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 the ADEMCO VISTA-10P and ADEMCO VISTA-10PSIA. 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.

–5 –

System Overview (Continued)

Zones

•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.

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 key, if programmed, to arm the system, which lets you use a function key 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 (e.g., “fire”).

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

Phone Access

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

•You can receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the status of the security system.

•You can arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands remotely via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each command entry.

•Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a separate manual entitled “Phone Access User's Guide” that is supplied with the voice module.

System Overview (Continued)

Paging Feature

•If programmed, the system can automatically send certain system condition messages to a pager.

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

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; start a Macro

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 (if Voice Keypad is installed)

The 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.

About The Keypads

General Information

Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature the following:

•A telephone style (digital) keypad

•Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all occurrences

•Built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and troubles. The sounder also "beeps" during certain system functions and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press).

•Backlighting of the LCD display windows. Backlighting turns on when any key is pressed, and when opening an entry/exit door while the system is armed. This feature is helpful when a keypad is located in a dimly lit area.

IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.

Your keypads are functionally the same, but may have different types of displays, depending on the type installed with your system. To access the keys on the keypad, simply open the swing-down door.

Alpha Display 2-line alpha display keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character alphanumeric LCD which can display system messages in friendly English. These keypads can also be programmed with custom zone descriptors.

Fixed-Word Display Fixed-Word display keypads are functionally identical to Alpha display keypads, but the LCD display uses pre-designated words to identify the nature and location of occurrences.

Voice Keypads Voice Keypads (if installed), are functionally the same as other keypads, except that these keypads can provide the following:

•Voice announcements of system status (see Checking for Open Zones section)

•Voice chime, which can alert you to the opening of doors and windows while the system is disarmed (see Voice Chime in

Chime mode section)

•Message center, which lets you record and playback messages (see Using the Voice Message Center in the

System Overview section).

Entry/Exit Delays

Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay.

Exit Delay

Exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door(s) without setting off an alarm. 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 by this time, you should stop, disarm the system, and start over to avoid a false alarm.

Exit Delay Restart/Reset. If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming STAY, you can re-start the exit delay at any time – simply press the [ ] key, then let that person in. The system automatically re-arms when exit delay expires, which avoids having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again.

In addition, when the system is armed AWAY, reopening and closing the entry/exit door before exit delay time expires (e.g., reentering to get a forgotten item) will reset the exit delay time once.

Entry Delay

Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance door. 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 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. The beeps stop when a code is entered, but will restart after about 10 seconds if an invalid code is entered.

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:		seconds	Entry Delay 1:		seconds
			Entry Delay 2:		seconds

Entry/Exit Delays (Continued)

Exit Alarms

Exit Error Conditions

Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted before exit delay expires and remains faulted (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 "ALARM CANCELED " 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 error condition, the open zone must be made intact; to clear the display, enter your code plus OFF.

If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends and the faulted zone remains open, the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station (after the installer-programmed dial delay expires). 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.

VISTA-10PSIA: The Exit Error condition works the same as described above, except that in addition to the “EXIT ALARM” message, a “zone alarm” message is also sent to the Central Monitoring Station. In addition, if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes after the end of the exit delay, a “Recent Closing” condition occurs instead of the “exit alarm.” Refer to the next paragraph for details.

“Recent Closing” Condition (VISTA-10PSIA only)

A Recent Closing condition is similar to the Exit Error condition described above, but occurs if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes after the initial exit delay expires. If you disarm the system within the two minutes, the alarm sound stops and the message "ALARM CANCELED " 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.

If you do not disarm the system within two minutes and the faulted zone remains open, the alarm sound continues and a “recent closing” and a “zone alarm” message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station (after the installer-programmed dial delay expires). The alarm message along with a faulted zone number is displayed on the keypad. 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.

– 13 –

Checking For Open Zones

Using the [ ] Key

Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed, otherwise the keypad will display a "Not Ready" message.

1.Press [ ] READY (do not enter code first) to display faulted zones.

2.Secure or bypass the zones displayed.

3.The keypad’s READY indicator lights when all protection zones have been either closed or bypassed.

4.Arm the system as desired.

Alpha Display:

DISARMED - PRESS TO SHOW FAULTS

Fixed-Word Display:

Zone no. and “NOT READY”

Voice Status: Voice Keypads (if installed), can announce system status and faulted zones (up to 3 zone descriptors) if the Voice Status feature is turned on.

To turn the Voice Status feature on/off: # + 0 + 2 + 4

(also turns on Voice Chime mode; see Chime mode section)

To announce Status: Press [#] FUNCTION + [0] VOICE + [ ] STATUS key. (Announces current system status; e.g., “Disarmed Ready to Arm.”)

To announce faults: Press [#] FUNCTION + [0] VOICE + [ ] STATUS + [ ] again within 5 seconds of the first press. (Announces up to three faulted zones with their zone descriptors, if programmed.)

Arming the System

Stay Mode: Arms Perimeter Only, Entry Delay On

•Used when you want to arm the system with persons staying inside (or if you have pets that are moving throughout the premises).

•The perimeter sensors are armed, but interior sensors are left disarmed.

•Exit delay begins (you can leave through the entry/exit door, if desired).

•An alarm sounds if any protected window or non-entry/exit door is opened.

•You may otherwise move freely within the premises.

•Persons entering later can enter through an entry/exit door, but they must disarm the system within the entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.

Night-Stay Mode: Arms Perimeter Only, Plus Selected Zones

•Use Night-Stay mode to provide increased security while staying inside.

•Arms same as Stay mode, but also arms pre-selected interior sensors (programmed by your installer), while other interior sensors are left disarmed.

•Persons entering later can enter through an entry/exit door but they must disarm the system and must not violate any of the programmed interior zones to avoid sounding an alarm.

•IMPORTANT: When Night-Stay mode is on, the selected interior zones are armed and cause an alarm if anyone enters those areas (e.g., waking in the middle of the night). To avoid sounding an alarm, you must disarm the system before any activity takes place in those interior zones.

Instant Mode: Arms Perimeter Only, Entry Delay Off

•Used when staying inside and do not expect anyone to use an entry/exit door.

•Arms same as Stay mode.

•An alarm sounds immediately if any protected perimeter window or any door is opened, including entry/exit doors.

•IMPORTANT: Arming in this mode greatly increases the chance of false alarms. Use extreme care in selecting this mode of arming.

Away Mode: Arms Entire System, Entry Delay On

•Used when nobody will be staying inside (including pets).

•The entire system (interior and perimeter) is armed.

•Exit delay begins letting you leave through the entry/exit door.

•An alarm sounds if a protected window or any door is opened, or if any movement is detected inside your premises.

•You can reenter through an entry/exit door, but you must disarm the system within the entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.

Maximum Mode: Arms Entire System, Entry Delay Off

•Used when leaving the premises for extended periods (e.g., vacation).

•Arms same as Away mode, but entry delay is off.

•An alarm sounds same as Away mode, and sounds upon opening entry/exit doors.

		to warn you that it is ending.
Maximum	security code + [4] (MAXIMUM)	• same as Away (described above)
		Note that entry delay is turned off.

† Arming Ding: In addition to the keypad beeps, the external sounder emits a short “ding” sound after arming, if programmed to do so. The ding confirms that the system is armed, and may occur immediately after the command or be delayed (until arm/disarm report is sent or exit delay expires). Ask your installer about how this feature is set for your system.

Quick Arming

If "Quick Arming" was programmed by the installer, the [#] key can be pressed in place of the security code when arming the system in any of its arming modes (except Night-Stay). However, the security code must always be used to disarm the system.

Function Key Arming

For any arming command, a function key may have also been programmed for your system. If so, you can press and hold the appropriate function key for 2 seconds to arm the system. See your installer for the designated functions (see Single Button Arming section).

– 16 –

Arming the System

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 will not be necessary to use a security code for arming, 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 security code before pressing the function key (but you always need your security code to DISARM the system).

Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows.

1.Press and hold the assigned function key for 2 seconds (no code is required). Function keys are shown below.

2.The keypad begins beeping and displays the armed message. The red ARMED indicator also lights.
