INTRODUCTION TO THE PARTITIONED SYSTEM
Basic Partitioning Features
The following lists the partitioning features of the VISTA-40 system.
Simple, Secure, Reliable
¥ Easy to use and program as the simplest alarm
system.
¥ Integrity of security is not compromised for any users
of the system.
¥ Inherent reliability of the partitioned system is equal
to a stand-alone alarm system if purchased
separately.
Keypads
¥ Flexible number of keypads per partition (up to a total
of 16 in a system (exclusive of other ECP devices
and auxiliary power requirements), any way you want
to assign them.
¥ Appropriate sounds and messages to assigned
keypads only (each system appears to be
independent to users).
¥ Ability to inhibit other keypads from accessing your
partition (total security in a strip mall environment).
User Codes
¥ 70 User Codes assigned virtually anyway you want
them (69 max. in any one partition, otherwise no
.
restrictions). Enough to handle the largest
commercial jobs
¥ Multiple levels of authority per partition (allows key
people in a partition to have complete control and
limit system tampering by others).
Partitions
¥ Any zone can be assigned to any particular partition
(easy to install, allows logical assignment by the
dealer).
¥ "GOTO" function provides access to the other
partition (ideal for executive access to factory for
example).
¥ Intelligent partition/zone menu programming help
(simplifies the programming and reduces errors)
¥ Programmable 4-character partition name displayed
on alpha keypads when needed (no need to
memorize numbers Ð name and number are shown
for you).
