System Overview; General; A Partitioned System - Honeywell VISTA-128FBP User Manual

General

Congratulations on your ownership of a Honeywell partitioned Security
System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the
latest in security protection technology today. Honeywell is the world's
largest manufacturer of security systems and millions of premises are
protected by Honeywell systems.
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and
emergency. To realize the system's full potential, it is important that you feel
comfortable in operating it. Your system consists of at least one Keypad
which provides full control of system operation, various sensors which
provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus a selected number of
strategically placed smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early
warning in case of fire.
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones
and system status and 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 to a central alarm monitoring station.
NOTE: All references in this manual for number of zones, number of
user codes, and the event log capacity, use the VISTA-250FBP's
features. The following table lists the differences between the
VISTA-128FBP and the VISTA-250FBP control panels. All other
features are identical for both panels.

A Partitioned System

Simply stated, a partitioned system shares one physical alarm system among
different users, each with their own requirements. For the most part, you as
a user need not know about other users and their structure in the system,
but from time to time, you may see display messages that indicate the system
is in use by another user. Do not be concerned as this is normal. Refer to the
ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS section for additional information.
