HWUODUCR’IOM

Congratulations on your ownership of the VISTA AT secur-

ity system. You’ve made awise decision in choosing it, for it

offers the best security protection available today.

Basically, 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 operat-

ing it.

This manual is astep-by-step guide that will fully acquaint

you with the system’s features and benefits. It defines the

components and their functions; describes their operation,

and acquaints you with normal and emergency procedures.

Your system consists of aControl mounted within a

secured cabinet (generally in aconcealed location in resi-

dential applications), at least one Console (VISTA or ALPHA

VISTA type)’ which permits full confrol of system operation,

various sensors which serve to provide perimeter and inte-

rior burglary protection, plus aselected number of strategi-

cally placed smoke or combustion detectors designed to

provide early warning in the event of fire. The Console(s)

will, in most cases, be remotely located for convenience; in

some applications, aConsole may be mounted on the front

of the cabinet,

The Control within the cabinet is the “brains” of your sys-

tem. It uses microcomputer technology to monitor all pro-

tections zones, analyzes the status of the system at all

times and provides appropriate information for display on

the Console(s) used in the system, and also initiates

appropriate alarms when required.

‘Up 105 Consoles may be used in the system, in any combination.

ABOW THIS MANUAL

This manual contains separate sections (Sections 1 and 2) that applies to both types of Consoles (and to the system in

covering the description of the operating functions of the general) has been excluded from Sections 1and 2 and can

two types of Consoles (Section 1for VISTA Consoles, Sec- therefore be considered applicable to the entire system,

tion 2for ALPHA VISTA Consoles). Refer to the appropriate regardless of the type of Console(s) used.

section for each Console used in your system. Information

GLOSSARY

The following glossary of terms used throughout the manual

will ayoid any confusion.

ARM/DISARM: “Armed” simp!y means that the bur-

glary portion of your system is turned ON and is in astate of

readiness. “Disarmed” means that the burglary system is

turned OFF, and must be rearmed to become operational.

However, even in a“disarmed” state, “emergency” and

“’fire” portions of your system will still be operational.

KEYPAD: This is the area 00 your Console containing

numbered pushbuttons similar to those on telephones or

calculators. These keys control the arming or disarming of

the system, and perform other functions which will be

described.

ZONESAspecific area of protection.

BYPASS: To disarm aspecific area of burglary protection

while leaving other areas operational.

DELAYZONE: An area of protection containing doors

most fequently used to enter or exit (typically, afront door,

back door, or door from the garage into the house). The

delay zone allows sufficient time for authorized entry and

exit without causing an alarm. Consult your installer for the

entry and exit delay times that have been set for your sys-

tem during installation and record them on page 7.

DAY/NIGNT ZONE: An area of protection whose vio-

lation causes atrouble indication during the disarmed

(DAY) mode and an alarm during the armed (NIGHT) mode.

is activated by simply pressing any of the function keys for

5seconds. The message display screen on the Console will

then scroll information related to the use of the key that has
