Speed Key (Macros); Using Schedules; Device Timers; To Access Another Partition (Goto Command) - Honeywell VISTA-128BPTSIA User Manual

System Overview (cont'd)

Speed Key (Macros)

The system can store a string of up to 32 keystrokes, which can be activated anytime
by simply pressing the "A, B, C, or D" keys. This feature can be used to make it easy
to perform multiple functions at once (such as going to another partition to bypass a
zone), or it can be used to simplify an everyday, repeated procedure. Refer to the
SPEED KEY section for procedures for using this feature.

Using Schedules

Your system may have been programmed with schedules for automatically arming,
disarming and activating various devices and/or performing other system functions at
predetermined times. Users can modify some of these schedules by manually delaying
a closing time, using temporary schedules, or by programming special user schedules.
Refer to the USING SCHEDULES section at the end of this manual for scheduling
related procedures.

Device Timers

The system provides up to 20 "timers" that can be used to control various devices,
such as lights or appliances. These timers are similar in concept to the individual
appliance timers that might be purchased at a department store. The devices that can
be controlled are programmed into the system by the installer. Up to 96 of these
devices can be programmed. Refer to the PROGRAMMING DEVICE TIMERS section
for procedures.

To Access another Partition (GOTO Command)

Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only
that partition's information. But, if the user is authorized, a keypad in one partition
can be used to perform system functions in another partition, by using the GOTO
command. Note that only those partitions authorized and programmed by the
installer can be accessed in this manner.
To GOTO another partition, enter your security code, then press [∗] followed by the
desired partition number (1-8).
The keypad will remain in the new partition until directed to go to another partition,
or until 2 minutes has elapsed with no keypad activity. Entering your security code,
pressing [∗] followed by [0] will return the keypad to its original partition.

Master Keypad Operation

A "Master" keypad is one on which the status of all eight partitions is displayed
simultaneously. A user can get more information about a certain partition by simply
entering [∗] + the desired partition number (1-8). To log on to the "Master" partition
(9) using the GOTO command, and to perform any functions at a Master keypad, a
user must have access to all partitions.
