Basic Operation

Vision’s ‘Point & Click’ control makes operating your security system quick and
easy . For most day to day operations you can simply select the area you wish to
secure (A, B, C, or D) and press . If your security system is ‘On’ (armed),
entering a valid User PIN turns-off (disarm) the entire system. If the entry delay
buzzer is sounding during the disarming process, the button can be pressed
before your User PIN to temporarily silence the buzzer .

While this is all that’s necessary for day-to-day operation of your Vision Security
system, please read on to learn more about special features of your system and
familiarize yourself with operating instructions you might need during special
situations.

System Operation

The green ‘Ready’ light indicates that all detectors are secure and ready to arm.
If the ‘Ready’ light is not on, one or more detectors are activating (open) and are

not ready to be armed. Depending on your system’s design, this may or may not
prevent your system from arming. Vision’s Zone Indicator lights display which
zone(s) have detectors which are in alarm (or open). Check the detector(s) on
the zone(s) and arm your system. If you are unable to reset the detectors and
return to ‘Ready’ mode, call your security company for assistance.

After pressing to begin arming, keypads will beep slowly during the exit delay
period (if applicable). The tempo increases for the last ten seconds of the exit
delay period and a sustained tone indicates that the delay period has expired
and arming is now complete. After the arming process has been initiated, a valid
user PIN must be entered to cancel arming.
