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.

Introduction

IntroductionIntroduction

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 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

System BasicsSystem 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 and Carbon Monoxide Protection

• Fire and carbon monoxide protection is always active (if installed) and an alarm

sounds if a fire or carbon monoxide 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,

carbon monoxide protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes.

Security Codes

• You were assigned a 4-digit security code (master code) during 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

System Overview System Overview

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 security code followed by the desired arming key.

• If programmed, the [#] key can be pressed in place of your security code when

arming the system (e.g., instead of entering your 4-digit security code + [3-STAY] to arm the system in STAY mode, you can press [#] + [3-STAY] ).

• 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 security code then press the [OFF] key.

Alarms

• When an alarm occurs, the keypad sounds and displays the zone(s) causing the

alarm. For most alarms, the external sounder also sounds.

• If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station, an alarm message

will also be sent. (Delayed Reporting Note: By default, message reporting is not delayed. If desired, reporting can be delayed 15, 30, or 45 seconds to help reduce false alarms. See your installer if you want the delay time changed.)

• 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.

IMPORTANT!

• When entering codes and commands, sequential key depressions must be made within 4-5 seconds of one another. If 4-5 seconds elapse without a key depression, the entry will be aborted and must be repeated from its beginning. Be sure to observe this precaution when performing any of the procedures in this manual.

• If you make a mistake while entering a security code, stop, press the [✱] key, and then start over. If you stop in the middle while entering a code, and then immediately start the entry over, an erroneous code might be entered.

Wireless Key Fobs

Your system may also include one or more wireless key fobs, which can perform various functions as programmed by your installer.

IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE

Your key fob is similar to your keys or access card. If lost or stolen, another person can compromise your security system. Immediately notify your Dealer/Installer of a lost or stolen key fob. The Dealer/Installer will then remove the key fob programming from the security system.

Entry/Ex

Entry/Exit Delays

Entry/ExEntry/Ex

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

Exit Delay

Exit DelayExit 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 perimeter zones remain armed). The system automatically re-arms the entry/exit door 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 DelayEntry 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 15 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 Alarms

Exit AlarmsExit 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 are 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.

† 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.

Using the Keyswitch

Using the KeyswitchUsing 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

Using the [OFF] key

Using the [OFF] keyUsing the [OFF] key

The OFF key is used to disarm the system, silence alarm and trouble sounds, and clear alarm memories.

IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT ENTER, but CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.

If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main sounder has shut itself off, the keypad will beep rapidly upon your entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence.

LEAVE AT ONCE, and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.

(Security Code)

The “READY” indicator light will be lit if all zones

are secure, and the keypad will emit a single tone to confirm that the system is disarmed.

NOTE: If entry delay has started (you’ve opened the

entry door), you do not need to press the OFF key; simply enter your security code. The system will disarm in about 15 seconds after the last digit of the code is entered.

2. To Silence a Burglary Alarm and Clear a Memory of Alarm

Enter your security code. This disarms the system and silences the alarm (or

warning tones of a Memory of Alarm).

Note the zone in alarm on the keypad display, and make that zone intact (close

door, window, etc.). Now enter the security code plus OFF to clear the keypad’s Memory of Alarm display.

3. To Silence a Fire Alarm or Carbon Monoxide Alarm and Clear Memory of Alarm

Simply press the OFF key to silence the alarm. Then enter the security code plus

OFF sequence to clear the keypad's Memory of Alarm display. See the Fire Alarm

System section.

unprotected.

Vent Zones: Your system may have certain windows set as “vent” zones, which are automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to manually bypass them). However, if a vent zone window is closed after arming, it becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the system is armed.

When bypassing zones:

• The system must be disarmed before you can bypass zones.

• Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm if violated.

• The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.

• Zones are automatically unbypassed when the system is disarmed.
