Panic Keys; Follow-Me Feature - Honeywell Ademco Vista-12D Installation And Setup Manual

Panic Keys

There are three Panic keys (A, B, and C) that, if programmed, can be used to manually
initiate alarms and send a report to the central station. Each key can be programmed for 24-
hour Silent, 24-hour Audible, Fire, or Personal Emergency responses. The programmed
Panic response is activated when the appropriate key is pressed for at least 2 seconds. The
Panic keys are identified as follows:
Keys Displayed as Zone
[A] (∗/1)
[B] (∗/#)
[C] (3/#)
IMPORTANT: For a Silent panic function (if programmed) to be of practical value, you
must program a report code for the zone and the system must be connected to a central
station.

Follow-Me Feature

• This feature lets users of each partition enter a phone number that the system will call in
the event of an alarm at the protected premises, thus alerting the user to the alarm.
• The message sent consists of a series of multi-frequency (DTMF) tones (beeps).
• If an alarm occurs, the system dials the follow-me phone number once, waits a short time
after dialing (about one ring), then begins the message tones (regardless of whether the
call is answered). If the call is answered before the second ring, the listener should be able
to hear the message tones.
• In the event it takes longer than two rings to answer the call, it is possible the tones will
have been completed and the call disconnected. To help ensure that the tones are heard,
you should set a repeat count (1-7 repeats) that will cause the tones to be repeated that
number of times, giving the listener a better chance of hearing them. Note that only the
tones are repeated during the single follow-me phone call; the dialing is not repeated. The
call is made only once.
• You can also program one or more 2-second pauses after the phone number, which will
delay the tones by that amount of time. This can help give the listener time to hear the
tones. E.g., Adding four pauses will delay the tones until after the phone rings twice.
To enter a follow-me phone number: user code + [#] + [6] [1]
The current follow-me phone number (if exists) for the user's partition is displayed:
FM Phone No.
18009216704--_
• Press [∗] to clear the existing number, then enter the desired phone number. The number
is automatically associated with the partition in which it is entered.
To include a 2-second dialing pause in the number, press [#] at the point in the entry the
pause is desired (it displays as "–").Pauses entered at the end of the number will allow
dialing but will delay the tones by the amount of pause programmed.
If no number is desired, leave the entry blank and go to the next step.
