System Overview
Zones and Partitions
• 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.
• Partitions (VISTA-20P/PS Series) provide two independent areas of protection, with
each partition containing a group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without
affecting other zones or users.
• Partitioned systems (VISTA-20P/PS Series) can include a common zone area, which is
an area shared by users of both partitions (such as a lobby in a building).
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 user code followed by the desired arming key.
• If programmed, the [#] key can be pressed instead of entering the security code when
arming the system.
• You can also use the step-arming feature if programmed, to arm the system. This is a
function key that allows you to arm the system in one of three modes by simply
pressing the key repeatedly.
• To disarm the system, enter your user code, then press the [OFF] key.
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.
• The message remains displayed even after disarming the system, but can be
cleared with another "off" sequence.
Function Keys
• The "A," "B," "C," and "D" keys on the keypad can be programmed to perform various
functions.
• Functions include: activate a panic alarm, arm the system, provide step arming,
switch lights on/off, send a message to a pager, display Time/Date, and start a
programmed Macro sequence.
Phone Access
• If included, a phone module permits you to access the system via a touch-tone phone,
either on-premises or by call-in when away.
• When you call in, the phone module announces system status over the telephone, and
you can arm/disarm the system and perform most function commands remotely using
the telephone keys.
• Complete information for using these features is provided with the voice module.
