General
System Overview
Congratulations on your ownership of a Honeywell partitioned Security
System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the
latest in security protection technology today. Honeywell is the world's
largest manufacturer of security systems and millions of premises are
protected by Honeywell systems.
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and
emergency. To realize the system's full potential, it is important that you feel
comfortable in operating it. Your system consists of at least one Keypad
which provides full control of system operation, various sensors which
provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus a selected number of
strategically placed smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early
warning in case of fire.
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones
and system status and provides appropriate information for display on the
Keypad(s) used with the system, and initiates appropriate alarms. Your
system may also have been programmed to automatically transmit alarm or
status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.
NOTE: All references in this manual for number of zones, number of
user codes, and the event log capacity, use the VISTA-250FBP’s
features. The following table lists the differences between the
VISTA-128FBP and the VISTA-250FBP control panels. All other
features are identical for both panels.
Number of Zones 128 250
Number of User Codes 150 250
Event Log Capacity 512 1000
A Partitioned System
Simply stated, a partitioned system shares one physical alarm system among
different users, each with their own requirements. For the most part, you as
a user need not know about other users and their structure in the system,
but from time to time, you may see display messages that indicate the system
is in use by another user. Do not be concerned as this is normal. Refer to the
ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS section for additional information.

System Overview (cont’d)
Zones
Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For
example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned
to zone 001, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 002,
and so on. These numbers will appear on the display, along with an alpha
descriptor for that zone (if programmed), when an alarm or trouble condition
occurs.
Fire Protection
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on and
will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the Fire Alarm
System section for important information concerning fire protection, smoke
detectors and planning emergency exit routes from your facility.
Burglary Protection
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or "armed" before it
will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your system provides four modes of burglary
protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM, and even allows you to
BYPASS selected zones of protection while leaving the rest of the system armed. The
system also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening and closing of
doors and windows while the system is disarmed. Refer to the other sections of this
manual for procedures for using these features.
The following table lists the four different arming modes and the results of each.

Arming Mode
AWAY Yes Yes Yes
STAY✳ Yes Yes Yes
INSTANT✳ Yes No Yes

✳The system provides three different STAY and INSTANT arming modes. See
ARMING IN THE STAY MODES and ARMING IN THE INSTANT MODES
sections for details on these modes.
Exit Delay Entry Delay Perimeter Armed
Features For Each Arming Mode
Carbon Monoxide Protection
Carbon monoxide (CO) protection is available with your system using the 5800CO
Carbon Monoxide Detector. The 5800CO is a 3V battery powered wireless Carbon
Monoxide Detector used with wireless alarm systems that support 5800 series
devices. Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas which is released when fuels
are burned. It is invisible, has no smell and is therefore impossible to detect with the
human senses. We strongly suggest installing Carbon monoxide protection with your
system.
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 (ex. FIRE, ALARM). It
remains displayed until it is cleared by disarming the system (see Disarming the
System section).
System Overview (cont’d)
Using Schedules
Your system may have been programmed with schedules for automatically
arming, disarming and activating various devices and/or performing other
system functions at predetermined times. Users can modify some of these
schedules by manually delaying a closing time, using temporary schedules, or
by programming special user schedules. Refer to the Using Schedules section
at the end of this manual for scheduling related procedures.
– 7 –
System Overview (cont’d)
Device Timers
The system provides up to 20 "timers" that can be used to control various
devices, such as lights or appliances. These timers are similar in concept to
the individual appliance timers that might be purchased at a department
store. The devices that can be controlled are programmed into the system by
the installer. Up to 96 of these devices can be programmed. Refer to the
Programming Device Timers section for procedures.
To Access another Partition (GOTO Command)
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will
show only that partition's information. But, if the user is authorized, a
keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in another
partition, by using the GOTO command. Note that only those partitions
authorized and programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.
To GOTO another partition, enter your security code, then press [✳] followed
by the desired partition number (1-8).
The keypad will remain in the new partition until directed to go to another
partition, or until 2 minutes has elapsed with no keypad activity. Entering
your security code, pressing [✳ ] followed by [0] will return the keypad to its
original partition.
Master Keypad Operation
A "Master" keypad is one on which the status of all eight partitions is
displayed simultaneously. A user can get more information about a certain
partition by simply entering [✳] + the desired partition number (1-8). To log
on to the "Master" partition (9) using the GOTO command, and to perform
any functions at a Master keypad, a user must have access to all partitions.
– 8 –
Self-Help Feature
Abbreviated user instructions are built into the system that can be easily
viewed on the alpha keypad's message display screen. This feature will prove
particularly useful if this manual is not conveniently accessible when you
need to perform a system procedure with which you are not familiar.
To view the abbreviated instructions:
Simply press and hold down the function key of interest until the description
starts to appear (about 5 seconds) and then release it. The system must be
“READY TO ARM” to perform this function.
Refer to the Functions of the Keypad section for descriptions of each key
function.

About The Keypads
General
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the
premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your
absence. LEAVE the premises IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT
THE POLICE from a safe location nearby.
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature
a telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that
shows the nature and location of all occurrences. Keypad display back
lighting is programmable to always stay on or to light only when a key is
pressed, then turn off a few minutes later.
The keypads also feature a built-in sounder that will sound during alarms
and troubles. It will also "beep" during certain system functions, such as
during entry/exit delay times, during CHIME mode, and when depressing
keys to perform system functions (to acknowledge the key press). These
sounds can be optionally suppressed in some of your keypads (so as not to
disturb other users of the system). Ask your installer if this has been done.
The Alpha Keypad
Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character alphanumeric LCD that can
display system messages in user-friendly English. Abbreviated user
instructions can also be displayed (see Self Help paragraph in the SYSTEM
OVERVIEW section). These keypads can also be programmed with custom
zone descriptors.

General Information
Your system has installer-programmed time delays, known as exit delay and
entry delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to
leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm. Exit
delay begins immediately after entering any arming command, and applies to
all modes of arming protection. If programmed, a slow beeping will sound
throughout the exit delay period.
Entry Delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter through
the designated entrance door. But the system must be disarmed before the
entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad will beep during
the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. You can also
arm the system with no entry delay at all by using either INSTANT or
MAXIMUM arming modes. These modes provide greater security while on
the premises or while away for extended periods of time. See your installer
for your delay times.
Entry/Exit Delays

Security Codes and Authority Levels
General Information
At the time of installation, you were assigned an authority level and a
personal four-digit security code, known only to you and yours. The security
code must be entered when arming and disarming the system. The authority
level defines the system functions that you can perform.
As an additional safety feature, other users that do not have a need to know
your code can be assigned different security codes, and each user can be given
a different authority level. Users are identified by "user numbers", which are
assigned when assigning a user's security code.
All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions
within the limits of each code's authority level (a system armed with one
user's code can be disarmed by another user's code), with the exception of the
Operator Level C code. See Authority Levels paragraph on the following page
for details regarding authority levels.
Duress Code
This feature is intended for use if you are forced to disarm or arm the system
under threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently
notify the central station of your situation, if that service has been provided.
The duress code is pre-assigned by the installer during installation (authority
level 6).
IMPORTANT: This code is useful only when the system is connected to a
central station.
Quick Arming
Note: If "Quick Arming" was programmed by the installer, the [#] key can be
pressed in place of the security code when arming the system. The security
code must always be used to disarm the system, however.
– 16 –
Security Codes and Authority Levels (cont’d)
Authority Levels
Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can perform.
Depending on the authority assigned to you, there are certain system
functions you may be prohibited from performing. In summary, there are six
authority levels, each having certain system restrictions as shown below.
Level 1 Master: Can perform all system functions in assigned
Level 2 Manager: Can perform system functions in assigned
Level 3 Operator A: Can perform system functions in assigned
Level 4 Operator B: Same as Operator A, except Operator B cannot

Security Codes and Authority Levels (cont’d)
General Rules on Authority Levels and Changes
• A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME or HIGHER
authority than which he is assigned.
• A user may only ADD users to a LOWER authority level.
• A user may assign access codes only to those partitions to which the user
adding the code has access. (Ex. a user with access to only partition 1
cannot assign codes in partition 2.)
• The only way to assign a user's authority level is by using the "Add A
User" procedure. To change a user's authority level, that user must first
be deleted, and then added again.
• A user can only be DELETED or CHANGED from within the partition he
is assigned.
• User numbers must be entered as 3-digit entries. Single digit user
numbers must be preceded by a "00" (example, 003, 004, etc.). Security
codes are entered as 4-digit numbers.
• Before assigning a security code, be sure it does not conflict with any
DURESS code.
NOTE: When adding, changing or deleting users, all other alpha keypads in
that partition will display "User Edit Mode – Please Stand By", and key
depressions (except Panic) at those keypads will be ignored. Panic key
depressions will cause an alarm and terminate user entry.
To Exit User Edit Mode
You can exit any of the user edit modes described on the following pages at
any time by doing the following:

exits “Add a User” mode. If yes, the keypad prompts
for the Global Arm option for this user.
Press 1 (YES) if this user will be allowed to try to
arm more than one partition at the same time.
Press 0 if this user will arm only his assigned
partition.
The keypad now prompts for the user’s access to the
next partition (see GOTO command). Again press 0
or 1. If yes, the system will automatically assign a
user number for use in that partition and will
prompt for authority level and global arm options
for this user within the partition (see previous
steps).
When all partitions have been displayed, the
keypad will scroll through the partition(s) to which
access has been assigned, and will display the user
number, authority level and global arm option for
each. The “G” after the authority level indicates
that the global arm feature is active for this user
in the displayed partition. The "*" indicates the
partition from which this user can be changed or
deleted. The "." at the end of the second line
indicates that this user sends open/close reports.

If yes, that user's code will be removed from all
partitions to which it was assigned, and all
authorization levels and other information about
that user will be deleted. Note that a user can
only be deleted from the partition in which it was
first assigned, and can only be deleted by a user
with a higher authority level. A User's security
code cannot be deleted by oneself.

To Access another Partition
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will
show only that partition's information. But, if the user is authorized, a
keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in other
partitions by using the GOTO command. Note that only those partitions
authorized and programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.

A "Master" keypad is one that reflects the status of the entire system
(Partitions 1-8) on its display. This is useful because it eliminates the need
for a security officer in a building to have to "log-on" to various partitions
from one partition's keypad to find out where an alarm has occurred.
A description of a typical display follows:
SYSTEM 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
STATUS R R N N A T ✴ B
– 24 –
The status of each partition is directly below the partition number on the
display. Possible status indications include:
A = Armed Away S = Armed Stay M = Armed Maximum
I = Armed Instant R = Ready N = Not Ready
B = Bypassed/Ready ✴ = Alarm T = Trouble
F = Fire Alarm P = AC Power Failure L = Low System Battery
C = Comm Fail
To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter [✴] +
[Partition No.] (i.e., ✴4). This will allow viewing only of that partition. In
order to affect that partition, the user must log on with a code that has access
to that partition. Also, in order for a user of any partition to log onto the
"Master" partition (Partition 9) to view the status of all partitions, and to
perform any functions at the Master keypad, that user must have access to
all partitions. Otherwise, access will be denied.
