System Overview
General
Your Honeywell security system consists of a main control panel, at least one
keypad, and various sensors strategically positioned throughout the
premises. The system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and
emergency. The keypad provides full control of system operation.
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.
This manual is designed to help you become comfortable operating
your system. Each function is explained in step-by-step detail. We
recommend you read the SYSTEM OVERVIEW section to become
familiar with the terminology and the basic features of the system.
NOTE: All references in this manual for number of zones, user codes,
partitions, VistaKey modules, the master partition and the event log
capacity, use the VISTA-128FB’s features. The following table lists
the differences between the VISTA-32FB and the VISTA-128FB
control panels. All other features are identical for both panels.
Also, all procedures in this guide for entering zone numbers or user
numbers show 3-digit entries, which is valid for the VISTA-128FB.
For the VISTA-32FB these entries are only 2-digits.
