Honeywell ADEMCO VISTA-15P Quick Manual

TESTING THE SYSTEM
Using the Test mode allows each detection point to be checked for proper
operation. Testing should be conducted weekly to ensure proper
operation.
• The keypad sounds a single beep about every 30 seconds as a reminder
that the system is in the Test mode.
• Alarm messages are not sent to your Central Station while Test mode is on.
If a problem is experienced with any detection point (no confirming sounds, no
display), call for service immediately.
1. Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. The
READY indicator light should come on if all zones are intact
2. Enter your 4-digit Master code + 5 + 0 (walk)
3. Listen. The external sounder should sound for about 1 second then turn off.
If the sounder does not sound, CALL FOR SERVICE. The "Test in
Progress" display appears only on the keypad that started the test.
4. Fault zones. Open each protected door and window in turn and listen for
three beeps from the keypad. Each faulted detection point should appear
on the display. The display clears when the door or window is closed.
5. Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for three
beeps. Each detector should appear on the display when it is activated. The
display clears when no motion is detected. Note that if wireless motion
detectors are used, there is a 3-minute delay between activations to
conserve battery life.
6. Test all smoke detectors, following the manufacturer's instructions.
7. When all detection points have been checked and are intact (closed), there
should be no zone numbers displayed.
8. Exit test mode: 4-digit code + 1
TROUBLE CONDITIONS
The word CHECK on the keypad's display, accompanied by a "beeping" at the
keypad, indicates a trouble condition in the system at the displayed zone
number sensor and requires your attention. Determine if the zone(s) displayed
are intact and make them so if they are not. If the display persists, CALL FOR
SERVICE.
To silence the beeping for these conditions, press any key.
Typical Trouble conditions include the following:
Trouble Message Meaning
COMM. FAILURE A failure has occurred in the telephone
(or FC) communication portion of your system.

(or BAT with zone No.) Either replace the battery yourself, or CALL FOR
SERVICE.
Rcvr Jam (or CHECK 90) RF interference in wireless system which may
impede reception from wireless sensors.
ALARM 1xx (or 91) A communication problem between the control and a

ADEMCO VISTA SERIES SECURITY SYSTEMS
VISTA-20P / VISTA-20PSIA -- VISTA-15P / VISTA-15PSIA
Quick Guide to User Functions
Full User Guide Available Online: This Quick Guide describes the most frequently used features and functions of your system. For
full details of all user functions, please see the system's User Guide. The full version User Guide is also available from your installer
upon request.
Congratulations on your ownership of a Honeywell Home Security System. This system provides:
• Three forms of detection: burglary, fire and emergency (see your installer for which forms of detection are installed)
• At least one keypad which provides control of system and displays system status
• Various sensors for perimeter and interior burglary detection
• Optional smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire.
Your system may also be programmed to automatically send alarm and status messages to a Central Monitoring Station.
SYSTEM BASICS
The following is a list of some of the most common features and functions of
your system:
• Several modes of burglary detection: Stay, Night-Stay, Away, Instant,
Maximum.
• Bypass feature lets you 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 and carbon monoxide detection are always active (if installed) and an
alarm sounds if a fire or carbon monoxide condition is detected.
• Panic keys (if programmed) let you manually initiate a fire and personal
alarms using the keypad.
• 4-digit security codes are used in conjunction with keypad command to
perform system functions.
• Each user can be assigned a different security code, each with different
authority levels.
• The system sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones," which
are specific areas of detection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.).
• Zone numbers (points of detection) are displayed at the keypad when an
alarm or trouble condition occurs.
• Partitions (VISTA-20P Series) provide two independent areas of detection
plus an optional common zone area, with each partition containing a group
of zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting other zones or
users.
• Function keys may have been programmed to perform various functions.
Ask your installer if these keys are active.
• A Scheduling feature can be programmed to automatically perform certain
functions (e.g., arm the system) at a predetermined time each day. See the
full User Guide for details.
ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS
• Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you enter through
the designated entrance door.
• You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an
alarm will occur (keypad beeps during the entry delay period, reminding
you to disarm the system).
• Exit delay gives you time after arming the system to leave through the
designated exit door(s) without setting off an alarm. If programmed, a slow
beeping will sound during the exit delay period until the last 10 seconds,
which then changes to fast beeping (alerting you to the end of exit delay).
If you cannot leave within this delay time period, you should stop, disarm
the system, and start over to avoid a false alarm.
• See your installer for your delay times. See the full User Guide for details
on Exit Error alarms.
NOTES on BURGLARY DETECTION
• The system must be armed before the burglary detection can sense
intrusions.
• To arm your system, enter your security code followed by the desired
arming key.
• To disarm the system, enter your security code then press the OFF key.
• When an alarm occurs, the keypad sounds and displays the zone(s)
causing the alarm. The external sounder may also sound.
• If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station, an alarm
message is also sent (delayed 30 seconds by default to reduce false
alarms).
• 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. Clear the Memory of Alarm display by
entering another "off" sequence.
IMPORTANT: If you return to the premises and the main
burglary sounder is on, or the keypad beeps rapidly upon
entering the premises, it indicates that an alarm has oc-
curred during your absence and an intruder may still be on
the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE
POLICE from a nearby safe location.
NOTES on FIRE and CO DETECTION
• Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for continuous
detection. In the event of an emergency, the smoke and heat detectors
sound their alarms, triggering a loud, interrupted pulsed sound from the
Keypad(s) and any external sounders.
• You can silence the alarm at any time by pressing the OFF key (the
security code is not needed to silence fire alarms).
• Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, if installed, provide continuous
detection. If a high level of carbon monoxide is detected, an interrupted
pulsed alarm sound occurs at the keypads and the detector(s).
Immediately move to a spot where fresh air is available, preferably
outdoors. From a safe area, call your security service provider for
further instructions. To silence the keypad sounding, press the OFF key.
To silence the detector, see its instructions.
