PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises.

This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building. In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the Central Monitoring Station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines). EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION Early warning fire detection is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors have played a key role in reducing fire deaths in the United States. With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Associations National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72). These recommendations can be found on page 47 of this manual.

59Limitations Of This System...............Warranty...................–4– • System OverviewIntroduction Congratulations on your ownership of a Honeywell Security System. Youve 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 (master code) during 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– • System Overview (cont’d) 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 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 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 security code followed by the desired arming key. • If programmed, you can press the [#] key in place of your security code when arming the system (e.g., instead of entering your 4-digit security code + [3-STAY] to arm the system in STAY mode, you can press [#] + [3-STAY]).

• 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 security code then press the [OFF] key.

Alarms • When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders sound, and the keypad displays the zone(s) causing the alarm. • If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station, an alarm message is also sent. (Delayed Reporting Note: Message reporting is delayed 30 seconds by default to reduce false alarms. If desired, this delay can be removed or can be increased to 45 seconds. See your installer if you want the delay time changed.) • 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.

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.–6– • System Overview (cont’d) Function Keys • The “A,” “B,” “C,” and “D” keys 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. Paging Feature • If programmed, the system can automatically send certain system condition messages to up to four (VISTA-20P Series) or two (VISTA-15P Series) pagers. • The pager displays code numbers identifying the type of condition that has occurred. Scheduling • Your system can be programmed to automatically perform certain functions (e.g., arm the system) at a predetermined time each day.Using the Voice Message Center (if Voice Keypad is installed) SPEAKER LCD Voice keypads feature a voice message DISPLAY center that lets you record and playback one message. • The message can be up to 2.5-minutes long • The message remains in memory until ARMED 1 OFF RECORD 2 AWAY VOLUME 3 STAY PLAY a new message is recorded.

Volume key [3] ↑ (up) or [6] ↓ (down) –7– • About The KeypadsGeneral Information Your keypads allow you to control all system functions and feature the following: • A telephone style (digital) keypad • Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) that show the nature and location of all occurrences • Built-in sounder that sounds during alarms and troubles. The sounder also 'beeps' during certain system functions and also when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press).

• Backlighting of the LCD display windows. Backlighting turns on when any key is pressed or when entering the premises through any assigned entry/exit door. This feature is helpful when a keypad is located in a dimly lit area. • Some keypads have a voice feature that announces the nature and location of all system occurrences. Voice keypads also announce any faulted entry/exit or perimeter zone when Chime mode is on. Ask your installer if this option has been programmed for your system.

IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. Your keypads are functionally the same, but may have different types of displays, depending on the type installed with your system. Alpha Display 2-line alpha display keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character alphanumeric LCD that displays system messages in friendly English. These keypads can also be programmed with custom zone descriptors. Fixed-Word Display Fixed-Word display keypads are functionally identical to Alpha display keypads, but the LCD display uses pre- designated words to identify the nature and location of occurrences.

The Honeywell VISTA-20PSIA is an alarm control panel that is functionally similar to the, but has special programming that makes it compliant with the Security Industry Association’s (SIA) CP-01 standards. Alarm control panels that are compliant with SIA CP-01 standards are designed to reduce false alarms. A false alarm is any alarm that was triggered by a non-emergency event. Unfortunately, due to many alarm companies not properly educating their customers, nearly all alarms received by central stations are false alarms.

Therefore, police departments are constantly sending officers out to these false alarms and countless hours are being wasted. Police departments are starting to view the alarm industry as more of a problem than a solution. Towns, cities and states have even begun to pass new ordinances that impose expensive fines on the alarm user when the police respond to a false alarm at their property.

In some jurisdictions, the police won’t even show up to investigate an alarm unless the alarm user has a CP-01 compliant security system. The Honeywell VISTA-20PSIA is a certified SIA CP-01 compliant alarm control panel that meets all SIA specifications for reducing false alarms. If your city or state has adopted CP-01 alarm system standards, you may be legally required to install an alarm control panel like the VISTA-20PSIA. Also, if you already have an alarm control panel installed and you have had problems with false alarms, you should consider upgrading to a SIA alarm control panel like the VISTA-20PSIA.

False alarm reduction starts with proper education for the alarm user. If a security system is operated by someone that knows exactly how the alarm control panel works, false alarms are much less likely. In fact, the majority of false alarms are triggered by someone that improperly armed or disarmed the security system. However, even with proper education, false alarms may still occur.

Therefore, by opting for a SIA CP-01 alarm control panel like the VISTA-20PSIA and reading up on how to properly use your security system, you can help solve the false alarm problem. If the false alarm problem goes unchecked, police departments may eventually stop responding to any alarm dispatch called in by a central station. All security systems owners would be left with a system that can only make a loud noise or they would have to pay an extremely high monthly rate to have a professional guard service investigate each alarm before calling the real emergencies in to the police. The Honeywell VISTA-20PSIA alarm control panel has the following programming settings which make it compliant with SIA CP-01 alarm control panel standards. In programming field *31, if the ‘Single Alarm Sounding per Zone’ option is set to ‘0’, the ‘Alarm Sounding per Zone’ will match the ‘Number of Reports in Armed Period’ in field *93 (1 for one report or 2 for two reports). In field *34, the ‘Exit Delay’ option must be set to a minimum of (45) seconds.

In field *35 and *36, the ‘Entry Delay 1’ and Entry Delay 2’ options must be set to a minimum of (30) seconds. While the VISTA-20P has a *37 field for setting the ‘Audible Exit Warning’ option, the VISTA-20PSIA always has the option enabled and doesn’t even allow you to enter the *37 programming field. In field *39, the ‘Power Up in Previous State’ option must be set to ‘1’ so that the VISTA-20PSIA always powers up in the previous state. If your VISTA-20PSIA is hooked up to a phone line that uses call waiting, you must enter an applicable PABX access code in field *40 and you must disable the ‘Call Waiting’ option in field *91. In field *50, the ‘Burglarly Dial Delay’ option must be set to a minimum of (30) seconds.

In field *59, the ‘Exit Error Alarm Report Code’ must always be enabled to comply with SIA CP-01 standards. In field *68, the ‘Cancel Report Code’ is enabled by default and should remain enabled. In Field *69, the ‘Recent Closing Report Code’ option is always enabled.

In field *85, you must set the cross zone timer programming and assign the cross zone pairs in zone list 4 using the *81 ‘Zone List’ mode. In field *91, the ‘Exit Delay’ option should be enabled. Also, to fully comply with SIA CP-01, the VISTA-20PSIA will use fire alarm verification whenever a zone is programmed for a zone type 16. All of these features combined greatly reduce the chance of a false alarm being triggered by your Honeywell VISTA-20PSIA alarm control panel.
