Your Honeywell security system consists of a main control, at least one keypad, and various sensors
strategically positioned throughout the premises. The system offers you three forms of protection:
burglary, fire and emergency. The keypad provides full control of system operation.
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones (doors, windows, smoke
alarms, etc.) and system status. It 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 or cellular or IP communicator
to a central alarm monitoring station.
This manual is designed to help you become comfortable operating your system. Each function is
explained in step-by-step detail. We recommend you read the SYSTEM OVERVIEW section to become
familiar with the terminology and the basic features of the system.
NOTES:
•
If you have a Graphic/Touch-Screen Keypad connected to your system, refer to the
Graphic/Touch-Screen Keypad User Guide for operating instructions.
•
All references in this manual for number of zones, number of user codes, number of
access cards, and the event log capacity, use the VISTA-250BPT's features.
