TESTING THE SYSTEM

The TEST key puts your system in Burglary Walk Test mode, which
allows each burglary protection point to be checked for proper
operation. Testing should be conducted weekly to ensure
proper operation.

• The keypad sounds a single beep about every 30 seconds as a
reminder that the system is in the Test mode.

• Alarm messages are not sent to your Central Station while Test
mode is on.

If a problem is experienced with any detection point (no confirming
sounds, no display), call for service immediately.

1. Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc.

The READY indicator light should come on if all zones are intact

2. Enter your 4-digit Master code + 5

3. Listen. The external sounder should sound for about 1 second

then turn off. If the sounder does not sound, CALL FOR SERVICE.
The "Burg Walk Test Reduced RF Sens." display appears only on
the keypad that started the test.

4. Fault zones. Open each protected door and window in turn and

listen for three beeps from the keypad. Each faulted detection
point should appear on the display. The display clears when the
door or window is closed.

5. Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen

for three beeps. Each detector should appear on the display when
it is activated. The display clears when no motion is detected. Note
that if wireless motion detectors are used, there is a 3-minute
delay between activations to conserve battery life.

6. When all detection points have been checked and are intact

(closed), there should be no zone numbers displayed.

7. Exit test mode: 4-digit code + 1

TROUBLE CONDITIONS

The word CHECK or TRBL on the keypad's display, accompanied by a
rapid "beeping" at the keypad, indicates a trouble condition in the

to User Functions

Full User Guide Available Online: This Quick Guide describes the most frequently used features and functions of your system. For
full details of all user functions, please see the system’s User Guide located online at:
http://www.security.honeywell.com/hsc/products. The full version User Guide is also available from your installer upon request.

Congratulations on your ownership of a Honeywell Security System. This system provides:

• Three forms of detection: burglary, fire and emergency (see your installer for which forms of detection are installed)

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

• Various sensors for perimeter and interior burglary detection

• Smoke and/or combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire.

Your system may also be programmed to automatically send alarm and status messages to a Central Monitoring Station.

SYSTEM BASICS

The following is a list of some of the most common features and
functions of your system:

• Several modes of burglary detection: Away, Stay, Instant,
Maximum.

• Bypass feature lets authorized persons to 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, if enabled.

• Fire and carbon monoxide detection are always active (if
installed) and an alarm sounds if a fire or carbon monoxide
condition is detected.

• Panic keys (if programmed) let you manually initiate a fire and
personal alarms using the keypad.

• 4-digit security codes are used in conjunction with keypad
command to perform system functions.

• Each user can be assigned a different security code, each with
different authority levels.

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

• Zone numbers (points of detection) are displayed at the keypad
when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.

• Partitions provide two independent areas of detection with each
partition containing a group of zones that can be armed and
disarmed without affecting other zones.

• Function keys may have been programmed to perform various
functions. Ask your installer if these keys are active.

• A Scheduling feature can be programmed to automatically
perform certain functions (e.g., arm the system) at a
predetermined time each day. See the full User Guide for details.

ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS

• Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you
enter through the designated entrance door.

• You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends,
or an alarm will occur (keypad beeps during the entry delay
period, reminding you to disarm the system).

• Exit delay gives you time after arming the system to leave
through the designated exit door(s) without setting off an alarm.
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.

•••• See your installer for your delay times. See the full User Guide
for details on Exit Error alarms.

NOTES on BURGLARY DETECTION

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

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

• To disarm the system, enter your security code then press the
OFF key.

• When an alarm occurs, the keypad sounds and displays the
zone(s) causing the alarm. The external sounder may also
sound.

• If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station, an
alarm message is also sent (may be delayed 30 seconds to
reduce false alarms).

• 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. Clear the Memory of
Alarm display by entering another “off” sequence.

IMPORTANT: If you return to the premises and the
main burglary sounder is on, or 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.

NOTES on FIRE and CO DETECTION

• Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for
continuous detection. In the event of an emergency, the
smoke and heat detectors sound their alarms, triggering a
loud, interrupted pulsed sound from the Keypad(s) and any
external sounders.

• You can silence the alarm at any time by pressing a valid code
+ OFF.

• Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, if installed, provide
continuous detection. If a high level of carbon monoxide is
detected, an interrupted pulsed alarm sound occurs at the
keypads and the detector(s). Immediately move to a spot
where fresh air is available, preferably outdoors. From a safe
area, call your security service provider for further
instructions. To silence the keypad sounding, press a valid
code + OFF. To silence the detector, see its instructions.

Mode 3.

Three beeps confirm.

• Used when staying on premises, but someone
might use the entrance door later.

• Arms the perimeter.

• An alarm sounds if a protected window or any door
is opened.

When armed in STAY mode, the system will sound an
alarm if a pr otected door or window is opened, but
you may otherwise move freely throughout the
premises. Arrivals can enter through the entrance
door without causing an alarm, but must disarm the
system within the entry delay period or an alarm will
occur.

The system provides three STAY modes. STAY mode
1, 2, and 3. When activated, STAY modes 1 and 2
automatically bypass specific zones assigned by your
installer to each of the STAY modes. STAY mode 3,
when activated, automatically bypasses all zones
assigned to STAY modes 1 AND 2. Check with your
installer for a list of the zones that are bypassed
during each STAY mode.

NOTE: If none of the zones in a partition are
assigned to Stay mode 2, then when the user enters
[User Code] + [3] (STAY), all zones assigned to
Stay mode 1 are automatically bypassed.

The keypad beeps three times, displays the armed
message, and indicates which STAY mode (1, 2 or 3).

SECURITY CODES

Your installer assigned a master code that is used to perform all system functions.
In addition, other security codes can be assigned for use by other users.

• Only the Master and Manager Codes can assign security codes to users.

• Users are identified by a 2-digit user number (Vista-32FBPT) or 3-digit user number

(Vista-128FBPT/Vista-250FBPT).

• In addition to a security code, each user is assigned an authority level and various system
attributes. See the full User Guide for definitions of each Authority Level.

• Security codes can be used interchangeably within a partition when performing system
functions (a system armed with one security code can be disarmed by a different security
code), with the exception of the Guest codes.

• Security code programming involves these steps:

1. Choose a user number from the set of users assigned to the partition in which the user

will be operating, and assign a 4-digit security code.

2. Assign an authority level to that user.

3. Assign other attributes as necessary.

Assigning Security Codes and User Attributes

The following lists the various command strings for adding security codes and attributes.

Function Commands

Add Security Code

Master or Manager code + 8 + [user no.] + new user’s security
code

Follow the screen prompts to add the authority level and other attributes for
this user. The Keypad beeps once to confirm that new user was added.

Delete Security
Code

Master or Manager code + 8 + [user no.] + Master or Manager code
first entered.

When prompted, press 1 (YES).

The security code set for this user number is erased from the
system.

Change a User
