System Overview
General
Congratulations on your ownership of an ADEMCO Partitioned Security
System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the
latest in security protection technology today. ADEMCO is the world's largest
manufacturer of security systems and millions of premises are protected by
ADEMCO systems.
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and
emergency. To realize the system's full potential, it is important that you feel
comfortable in operating it. Your system consists of at least one Keypad
which provides full control of system operation, various sensors which
provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus a selected number of
strategically placed smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early
warning in case of fire.
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.
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 and the VISTA-250BP control panels.
Additionally, only the VISTA-128BP supports the capability to have a
device duplicate keypad sounds at a remote location. All other
features are identical for both panels.
