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 Overview (cont’d) 
A Partitioned System 
Simply stated, a partitioned system shares one physical alarm system among 
different users, each with their own requirements. For the most part, you as 
a user need not know about other users and their structure in the system, 
but from time to time, you may see display messages which indicate the 
system is in use by another user. Do not be concerned, this is normal. Refer 
to the ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS section for additional information....

System Overview (cont’d) 
Burglary Protection 
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or armed 
before it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your system provides four 
modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM, and 
even allows you to BYPASS selected zones of protection while leaving the 
rest of the system armed. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for 
alerting users to the opening and closing of doors and windows while the 
system is...

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.

Master Keypad Operation 
A Master keypad is one on which the status of all 8 partitions is displayed 
simultaneously.  A user can get more information about a certain partition by 
simply entering [✳] + the desired partition number.  To log on to the 
Master partition (3 for the VISTA-32FB; 9 for the VISTA-128FB) using the 
GOTO command, and to perform any functions at a Master keypad, a user 
must have access to all partitions.

About The Keypads 
General 
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the 
premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your 
absence. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE 
from a safe location nearby. 
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. Keypad display back 
lighting is programmable to always stay on...
