Honeywell VISTA-128BP - Manual (Page 5)

System Overview
General
Your Honeywell security system consists of a main control panel, 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
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.
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.
NOTE: If you have a Symphony (Advanced User Interface) and/or
TeleSmart connected to your system, refer to the Symphony and
TeleSmart User Guides for operating instructions for those units.
NOTE: 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-250BP’s features. The following table lists the differences
between the VISTA-128BP/128SIA and the VISTA-250BP control
panels. Additionally, only the VISTA-128BP/128SIA supports the
capability to have a device duplicate keypad sounds at a remote
location. All other features are identical for both panels.
