System Overview

General

Congratulations on your ownership of a Honeywell partitioned Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today. Honeywell is the world's largest manufacturer of security systems and millions of premises are protected by Honeywell systems.

This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency. To realize the system's full potential, it is important that you feel comfortable in operating it. Your system consists of at least one Keypad which provides full control of system operation, various sensors which provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus a selected number of strategically placed smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire.

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.

NOTE: All references in this manual for number of zones, number of user codes, and the event log capacity, use the VISTA-250FBP’s features. The following table lists the differences between the VISTA-128FBP and the VISTA-250FBP control panels. All other features are identical for both panels.

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 as this is normal. Refer to the ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS section for additional information.
