System Overview
General Information
Congratulations on your ownership of an ADEMCO Security System.
Youve made a wise decision in choosing this system because it
represents the latest in security protection technology available today.
ADEMCO is the worlds largest manufacturer of security systems,
and millions of premises are protected by ADEMCO.
The VISTA-15 offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire, and
emergency. Your system consists of at least one keypad, which
provides control of system operation. The system includes various
sensors that provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus
smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in
case of fire.
The VISTA-15 
uses microcomputer technology to monitor all
protection zones and system status, display appropriate information
on the keypad(s) used with the system, and initiate appropriate
alarms. Your system may also have been programmed to
automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a
central alarm monitoring station.
Zones
Your systems sensing devices have been assigned to various zones.
For example, the sensing device on your entry/exit door may have
been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master
bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These numbers will appear on the
display, along with a description for that zone (if programmed), when
an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
Burglary Protection
Your VISTA-15 provides five modes of burglary protection: STAY,
NIGHT-STAY, AWAY, INSTANT, and MAXIMUM, and allows you to
bypass selected zones while leaving the rest of the system armed. You
must turn on (arm) the burglary protection portion of your system
before it will sense burglary alarms. The system also provides a
CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening of protected doors and
windows while the system is disarmed. Refer to the other sections of
this manual for procedures for using these features.

NIGHT-STAYYes Yes Yes Yes*
STAY Yes Yes Yes No
INSTANT Yes No Yes No
MAXIMUM Yes No Yes Yes

Security Codes
At the time of installation, you were assigned a personal four-digit
security code, known only to you. You must enter the security code
when arming and disarming the system, and when performing other
system functions. As an additional safety feature, other users who do
not need to know your code can be assigned different security codes.
Refer to the Security Codes
 section for procedures on adding security
codes to the system.
Fire Protection
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always
active and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to
the Fire Alarm System
 section for important information concerning
fire protection, smoke detectors, and planning emergency exit routes
from the premises.
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.

System Overview (contd)
Cross Zoning
Cross zoning is used to prevent false alarms. Up to 10 zones can be linked
together in your security system (programmed by the installer). If any of
the 10 linked zones faults in the armed state, the system will wait to see
if a second zone faults within a programmed period of time. When the
second zone faults, alarms will be sent out for both zones (if
programmed), the alarm bell will sound, and the two zones in alarm will
be displayed on the keypad.
However, if another fault does NOT occur within the programmed period
of time, only a Trouble report will be sent to the monitoring station and
no message will be displayed on the keypad until the system is disarmed.
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, 
ALARM). It remains displayed until it is cleared by
disarming the system (see the 
Disarming and Silencing Alarms
section).
Phone Access & Voice Response Capability
Your system may include a voice module that permits you to access
the system via a TouchTone phone, either on-premises or by call-in
when away. The phone access feature will enable you to do the
following:
•Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding
the status of the security system.
•Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands
via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each
command entry.
Paging Feature
If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your
pager will respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system.
Your pager will display code numbers indicating the type of condition
that has occurred. Refer to the 
Paging Feature section for more
detailed information.

Entry/Exit delays
General Information
The VISTA-15 has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry
delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to
leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm.
Exit delay begins immediately after entering any arming command,
and applies to all modes of arming protection. If it is programmed, a
slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period, with fast
beeps during the last 10 seconds.
Entry Delay gives you time to disarm the system when you re-enter
through the designated entrance door. But you must disarm the
system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The
keypad beeps during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm
the system. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first is
for your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary
entrance, where a longer delay is required to give you enough time to
walk to the keypad to disarm the system.
You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using either
the INSTANT or MAXIMUM arming mode. These modes provide
greater security while you are on the premises.
See your installer for your delay times (you may want to record them
below).
Exit delay :           seconds Entry delay 1:           seconds
Entry delay 2:
           seconds

Entry/Exit delay (contd)
Exit Alarms
To minimize false alarms sent to the alarm monitoring company,
your system may have been programmed for this feature. Ask
your installer if Exit Alarm is active for your system.
         Exit Alarm Active
Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit
door or interior zone is faulted when the exit delay ends (e.g., exit
door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay
timer. If you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm
sound stops and the message 
CANCELED ALARM or 
CA is
displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the
faulted zone. No message is sent to the alarm monitoring company.
To clear the exit alarm condition, the open zone must be made intact.
To clear the display, enter your 4-digit security code plus OFF key.
If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an
entry/exit door or interior zone is still open, the alarm sound
continues and an exit alarm message is sent to the alarm monitoring
company. The message 
EXIT ALARM or 
EA is displayed on the
keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. To stop
the alarm, the system must be disarmed (by entering your code plus
OFF). To clear the display, enter your code plus OFF a second time.
An exit alarm also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is
faulted within 2 minutes after the end of the exit delay.

About the Keypads
IMPORTANT
If the keypad beeps rapidly when you enter the premises, it
means 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.
General Information
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads
feature a telephone-style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) that shows the nature and location of all occurrences.
The keypads contain a built-in loudspeaker (sounder) that will
annunciate during alarms and troubles. The keypads also beep during
certain system functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, in
CHIME mode, and when you depress any of the keys (to acknowledge
the key press).
There are two basic types of keypads: the 
fixed-word keypad and the
alpha keypad (both described below).
Two-Line Alpha Keypad
Two-line alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character alphanumeric
LCD that display system messages in English. The typical alpha
keypad (6139) is shown on page 12. These keypads can also be
programmed with custom zone descriptors. 
The screen displays
depicted in this manual are those that typically appear on a 2-
line alpha keypad.
Fixed-Word Keypad
Fixed-word keypads are functionally identical to alpha keypads, but
the LCD display uses predesignated words to identify the nature and
location of occurrences. The typical fixed-word keypad (6128) is shown
on the next page.
