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: Features and procedures described in this manual apply to the VISTA-20P/VISTA-20PSIA (VISTA-20P series) and VISTA-15P/VISTA-15PSIA (VISTA-15P series) security systems. 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 - National Security Systems Inc (800) 457-1999
