Fire Protection; Burglary Protection; Alarms - Honeywell ADEMCO VISTA-40 User Manual

System Overview (cont'd)

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.
This control complies with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
requirements for temporal pulse sounding of fire notification appliances.
Temporal pulse fire alarm sounding occurs only at external sounders and at
two-way voice keypads (if used), and consists of 3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses –
pause – 3 pulses, etc.

Burglary Protection

The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or "armed"
before it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your system provides four
modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM, and
even allows you to BYPASS selected zones of protection while leaving the
rest of the system armed. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for
alerting users to the opening and closing of doors and windows while the
system is disarmed. Refer to the other sections of this manual for procedures
for using these features.
The following table lists the four different arming modes and the results of
each.

Alarms

When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound,
and the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. If your system is
connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will also be sent.
To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.
