– 2 – IMPORTANT! PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building. In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the Central Monitoring Station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines). EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION Early warning fire detection is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors have played a key role in reducing fire deaths in the United States. W ith regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Associations National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72). These recommendations can be found on page 43 of this manual. This manual is a step-by-step guide that will acquaint you with the systems features and benefits. It defines the components and their functions, describes their operation, and provides clear step-by-step instructions for normal and emergency procedures. Keep this manual in a convenient place so that you can refer to it as necessary.

– 5 – Congratulations on your ownership of the VISTA-10P Security System. Youve made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today. This system provides: • Three forms of protection: burglary, fire* and emergency • At least one keypad which provides control of system and displays system status • Various sensors for perimeter and interior burglary protection • Smoke or combustion detectors* designed to provide early warning in case of fire. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a Central Monitoring Station. * Commercial installations and some residential systems may not include fire protection – check with your installer. Burglary Protection • Several modes of burglary protection: Stay, Night-Stay, Away, Instant, Maximum. STAY: arms perimeter zones only and entry delay is on INSTANT: same as STAY, except entry delay is off NIGHT-STAY: arms perimeter zones and selected interior zones; entry delay on AWAY: arms perimeter and all interior zones, entry delay is on MAXIMUM: same as AWAY, except entry delay is off • You can BYPASS selected zones while leaving the rest of the system armed. • CHIME mode alerts you to the opening of protected doors and windows while the system is disarmed. Fire Protection • Fire protection is always active (if installed) and an alarm sounds if a fire condition is detected • If necessary, you can manually initiate a fire alarm using the keypad (if programmed). • Refer to the Fire Alarm System section for information regarding fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes. Security Codes • You were assigned a 4-digit security code during system installation. • Use your security code when arming and disarming the system, and when performing other system functions. • Other users can be assigned different security codes, each with different authority levels, which define the system functions a particular user can perform.
– 6 – Zones • The system sensing devices have been assigned to various “zones,” which are specific areas of protection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.). • Zone numbers are displayed at the keypad when an alarm or trouble condition occurs on a sensor. Arming, Step-Arming and Disarming Burglary Protection • The system must be armed before the burglary protection can sense intrusions. • To arm your system, enter your user code followed by the desired arming key. • If programmed, the [#] key can be pressed instead of entering the security code when arming the system. • You can also use the step-arming key, if programmed, to arm the system, which lets you use a function key to arm the system in one of three modes by simply pressing the key repeatedly. • To disarm the system, enter your user code then press the [OFF] key. Alarms • When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. • If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station, an alarm message will also be sent. • To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system. Memory of Alarm • When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (e.g., “fire”). • The message remains displayed even after disarming the system, but can be cleared with another “off” sequence. Phone Access • If included, a phone module permits you to access the system via a touch-tone phone, either on-premises or by calling-in when away. • You can receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the status of the security system. • You can arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands remotely via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each command entry. • Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a separate manual entitled “Phone Access Users Guide” that is supplied with the voice module.
– 7 – Paging Feature • If programmed, the system can automatically send certain system condition messages to a pager. • The display consists of code numbers that indicate the type of condition that has occurred. Function Keys • The “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” keys on the keypad can be programmed to perform various functions. • Functions include: activate a Panic alarm; arm the system; provide step arming; switch lights on/off; send a message to a pager; display Time/Date; start a Macro Scheduling • Your system can be programmed to automatically perform certain functions (e.g., arm the system) at a predetermined time each day. The Voice Keypads feature a voice message center that lets you record and playback one message. • The message can be up to 2.5-minutes long • The message remains in the keypad’s memory until a new message is recorded. • The volume control of the message is adjustable. • Refer to the procedures below when using the Message Center functions. 1OFF4MAX7INSTANTREADY 2AWAY5TEST8CODE03 STAY6BYPASS9CHIME# ARMED READY 6160V-00-005-V0 MESSAGE MICRECORD VOLUME PLAY STATUS VOICE FUNCTION VOLUME KEY VOICE KEY STATUS KEYFUNCTION KEYDOWN VOLUME PLAY KEY AND UP VOLUME RECORD KEY SPEAKER LCD DISPLAY MICROPHONE LEDs Message Center Functions To… Press these keys… Notes… record a message [#] FUNCTION + [0] VOICE + [1] RECORD The red MESSAGE LED lights.

– 8 – Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature the following: • A telephone style (digital) keypad • Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all occurrences • Built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and troubles. The sounder also beeps during certain system functions and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press). • Backlighting of the LCD display windows. Backlighting turns on when any key is pressed, and when opening an entry/exit door while the system is armed. This feature is helpful when a keypad is located in a dimly lit area. IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. Your keypads are functionally the same, but may have different types of displays, depending on the type installed with your system. To access the keys on the keypad, simply open the swing-down door. Alpha Display 2-line alpha display keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character alphanumeric LCD which can display system messages in friendly English. These keypads can also be programmed with custom zone descriptors. Fixed-Word Display Fixed-Word display keypads are functionally identical to Alpha display keypads, but the LCD display uses pre-designated words to identify the nature and location of occurrences. Voice Keypads Voice Keypads (if installed), are functionally the same as other keypads, except that these keypads can provide the following: • Voice announcements of system status (see Checking for Open Zones section) • Voice chime, which can alert you to the opening of doors and windows while the system is disarmed (see Voice Chime in Chime mode section) • Message center, which lets you record and playback messages (see Using the Voice Message Center in the System Overview section).
