System Overview (cont’d)

A Partitioned System

Simply stated, a partitioned system shares one physical alarm system among different users, each with their own requirements. For the most part, you as a user need not know about other users and their structure in the system, but from time to time, you may see display messages that indicate the system is in use by another user. Do not be concerned, this is normal. Refer to the ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS section for additional information.

Panel Linking

Panel Linking networks up to eight VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP control panels, enabling a user to control the features of all control panels from a single location. The Panel Linking is ideal for multi-building environments (e.g. a shopping mall, college campus, etc.).

The system provides the following three modes to access other “linked” control panels:

•Single-Partition, Single-Panel − displays status of a partition on a remote control panel and allows control of that remote control panel.

•Multi-Partition, Multi-Panel Mode − displays status and allows arming/disarming of multiple partitions at once on a remote control panel.

•Multi-Panel View Mode − displays status and allows arming/disarming of multiple remote control panels at a time.

Zones

Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 001, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 002, and so on. These numbers will appear on the display, along with an alpha descriptor for that zone (if programmed), when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.

Fire Protection

The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for important information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes from your house.
