System Overview
Introduction
Congratulations on your ownership of a Honeywell Security System. You've 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.
NOTE: Features and procedures described in this manual apply to the
VISTA-20P/VISTA-20PSIA (VISTA-20P series) and VISTA-15P/VISTA-15PSIA
(VISTA-15P series) security systems. Differences are noted where applicable.
System Basics
Bu r gla r y P r otection
• 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.
F ir e P r otection
• 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.
Secu r ity Cod es
• You were assigned a 4-digit security code (master code) during 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.

System Overview (cont’d)
Zon es a n d P a r tition s
• 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.
• Partitions (VISTA-20P Series) provide two independent areas of protection, with
each partition containing a group of zones that can be armed and disarmed
without affecting other zones or users.
• Partitioned systems (VISTA-20P Series) can include a common zone area, which
is an area shared by users of both partitions (such as a lobby in a building).
Ar m in g, Step -Ar m in g a n d Disa r m in g Bu r gla r y P r otection
• The system must be armed before the burglary protection can sense intrusions.
• To arm your system, enter your security code followed by the desired arming key.
• If programmed, you can press the [#] key in place of your security code when
arming the system (e.g., instead of entering your 4-digit security code + [3-STAY]
to arm the system in STAY mode, you can press [#] + [3-STAY]).
• You can also use the step-arming feature if programmed, to arm the system. This
is a function key that allows you to arm the system in one of three modes by
simply pressing the key repeatedly.
• To disarm the system, enter your security code then press the [OFF] key.
Ala r m s
• When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders sound, and the
keypad displays the zone(s) causing the alarm.
• If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station, an alarm message is
also sent. (Dela yed R ep or tin g Note: Message reporting is delayed 30 seconds
by default to reduce false alarms. If desired, this delay can be removed or can be
increased to 45 seconds. See your installer if you want the delay time changed.)
• To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.
Mem or y of Ala r m
• 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.
• The message remains displayed even after disarming the system, but can be
cleared with another “off” sequence.
P h on e Access
• If included, a phone module permits you to access the system via a touch-tone
phone, either on-premises or by call-in when away.
• When you call in, the phone module announces system status over the telephone,
and you can arm/disarm the system and perform most function commands
remotely using the telephone keys.
• Complete information for using these features is provided with the voice module.

System Overview (cont’d)
F u n ction Keys
• The “A,” “B,” “C,” and “D” keys 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, and start a
programmed Macro sequence.
P a gin g F ea tu r e
• If programmed, the system can automatically send certain system condition
messages to up to four (VISTA-20P Series) or two (VISTA-15P Series) pagers.
• The pager displays code numbers identifying the type of condition that has occurred.
Sch ed u lin g
• Your system can be programmed to automatically perform certain functions (e.g.,
arm the system) at a predetermined time each day.

About The Keypads
General Information
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions and feature the following:
• A telephone style (digital) keypad
• Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) that show the nature and location of all occurrences
• Built-in sounder that sounds during alarms and troubles. The sounder also "beeps"
during certain system functions and also 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 or when entering the premises through any assigned entry/exit door. This
feature is helpful when a keypad is located in a dimly lit area.
• Some keypads have a voice feature that announces the nature and location of all
system occurrences. Voice keypads also announce any faulted entry/exit or
perimeter zone when Chime mode is on. Ask your installer if this option has been
programmed for your system.
IMP OR TANT: 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.
Alpha Display
2-line alpha display keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character
alphanumeric LCD that displays system messages in friendly
English. These keypads can also be programmed with custom
zone descriptors.
Fixed-Word Display
Voice Keypads
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 (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).

Entry/Exit Delays
Entry Delay
Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the
designated entrance door. 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 walk to the keypad to disarm the system.
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. The beeps stop when a code is entered, but will restart after about 15 seconds
if an invalid code is entered.
You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the INSTANT or
MAXIMUM arming modes. These modes provide greater security while on the
premises or while away for extended periods of time.
See your installer for your delay times.

Exit Delay
E xit d ela y gives you time to leave through the designated exit door(s) without
setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after arming your system in
any arming mode and Alpha Display keypads display the message “You May Exit
Now.” When “You may exit now” disappears, the system is fully armed. If
programmed, a slow beeping will sound during the exit delay period until the last
10 seconds, which then changes to fast beeping (alerting you to the end of exit
delay). If you cannot leave within this delay time period, you should stop, disarm
the system, and start over to avoid a false alarm.
E xit Dela y R esta r t (if programmed):If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let
someone in after arming STAY, you can restart the exit time delay at any time –
sim p ly p r ess th e [✱] k ey, then let that person in (the perimeter zones remain
armed). The system automatically rearms the entry/exit door when the exit delay
expires, thereby avoiding having to disarm the system and then rearm it again.
Additionally, when the system is armed AWAY, reopening and closing the
entry/exit door befor e exit delay time expires (e.g., re-entering to get a forgotten
item), will reset the exit delay time once.

Entry/Exit Delays (cont’d)
Exit Alarms
E xit E r r or Con d ition s
Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior
zone is faulted before exit delay expires and remains faulted (e.g., exit door left open),
the system sounds an alarm and starts the en tr y delay timer. If you disarm the
system before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message "ALARM
CANCELED " or "CA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number
indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station.
To clea r th e exit er r or con d ition , the open zone must be made intact; to clear the
display, enter your code plus OFF.
If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends and the faulted zone
remains open, the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is sent to the
Central Monitoring Station (after the installer-programmed dial delay expires). 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
(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 two
minutes after the end of the exit delay.
Your system may have been programmed for this feature to minimize false alarms sent to the Central Monitoring
Station. Ask your installer if "Exit Alarm" is active in your system. If so, check this box.
VISTA-20P SIA/VISTA-15P SIA: The Exit Error condition works the same as described above,
except that in addition to the “EXIT ALARM” message, a “zone alarm” message is also sent to
the Central Monitoring Station. In addition, if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted
within two minutes after the end of the exit delay, a “Recent Closing” condition occurs instead of
the “exit alarm.” Refer to the next paragraph for details.
“Recen t Closin g” Con d ition (VISTA-20P SIA/VISTA-15P SIA on ly)
A Recent Closing condition is similar to the Exit Error condition described above, but occurs if
an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes a fter the initial exit delay
expires. If you disarm the system within the two minutes, the alarm sound stops and the
message "ALARM CANCELED " or "CA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number
indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station.
If you do not disarm the system within two minutes and the faulted zone remains open, the
alarm sound continues and a “recent closing” and a “zone alarm” message are sent to the
Central Monitoring Station (after the installer-programmed dial delay expires). The alarm
message along with a faulted zone number is displayed on the keypad. To stop the alarm, the
system must be disarmed (your code plus OFF); to clear the display, enter your code plus OFF a
second time.

Checking For Open Zones
Using the [∗] Key to Display and Announce System Status
Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones
must be closed or bypassed; otherwise the keypad will display a "Not Ready"
message.

Arming the System
STAY Mode: Arms Perimeter Only, Entry Delay On
• Used when you want to arm the system with persons staying inside (or if you have
pets that are moving throughout the premises).
• The perimeter sensors are armed, but interior sensors are left disarmed.
• Exit delay begins (you can leave through the entry/exit door, if desired).
• An alarm sounds if any protected window or non-entry/exit door is opened.
• You may otherwise move freely within the premises.
• Persons entering later can enter through an entry/exit door, but they must disarm
the system within the entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.
NIGHT-STAY Mode: Arms Perimeter Only, Plus Selected Zones
• Use NIGHT-STAY mode to provide increased security while staying inside.
• Arms same as STAY mode, but also arms preselected interior sensors (programmed
by your installer), while other interior sensors are left disarmed.
• Persons entering later can enter through an entry/exit door but they must disarm
the system a n d must not violate any of the programmed interior zones to avoid
sounding an alarm.
• IMP OR TANT: When NIGHT-STAY mode is on, the selected interior zones are
armed and cause an alarm if anyone enters those areas (e.g., waking in the middle
of the night). To avoid sounding an alarm, you must disarm the system before any
activity takes place in those interior zones.
INSTANT Mode: Arms Perimeter Only, Entry Delay Off
• Used when staying inside and do not expect anyone to use an entry/exit door.
• Arms same as STAY mode.
• An alarm sounds immediately if any protected perimeter window or any door is
opened, including entry/exit doors.
• IMP OR TANT: Arming the system in this mode greatly increases the chance of
false alarms. Use extreme care in selecting this mode of arming.
AWAY Mode: Arms Entire System, Entry Delay On
• Used when nobody will be staying inside (including pets).
• The entire system (interior and perimeter) is armed.
• Exit delay begins letting you leave through the entry/exit door.
• An alarm sounds if a protected window or any door is opened, or if any movement
is detected inside your premises.
• You can re-enter through an entry/exit door, but you must disarm the system
within the entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.
MAXIMUM Mode: Arms Entire System, Entry Delay Off
• Used when leaving the premises for extended periods (e.g., vacation).
• Arms same as Away mode, but entry delay is off.
• An alarm sounds same as Away mode, and sounds upon opening entry/exit doors.

Bypassing Protection Zones
Using the BYPASS Key
Use this key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones
intentionally unprotected. The system must be disarmed first.
Ven t Zon es: Your system may have certain windows set as “vent” zones, which are
automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to
manually bypass them). However, if a vent zone window is closed a fter arming, it
becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the system is
armed.
When bypassing zones:
•
•
•
•
The system must be disarmed before you can bypass zones.
Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm if violated.

Paging Feature
About Automatic Paging
Your system may be set up to automatically send messages to several pagers (4 pagers
for VISTA-20P Series, 2 pagers for VISTA-15P Series) as certain conditions occur in
your system.
• The following events can be programmed by your installer to be sent to the pagers:
arming and disarming†, alarms, and trouble conditions. († reports when
arming/disarming from a keypad using a security code; auto-arming/disarming,
arming with assigned button, and keyswitch arming do not send pager messages.)
• You can also program the system to send an automatic pager message to alert you
in the event that someone has not arrived home (disarmed the system) within a
defined period of time (see the Sch ed u lin g section for details on programming a
“latch key report”).
• Your installer programs the pager phone numbers and reporting events.
• The pager message consists of a 7-digit system status code that indicates the type of
condition that has occurred.
• An optional, predefined 16-digit character string can precede the 7-digit system
status code; these characters can consist of a PIN no., subscriber account no., or any
additional data that you may wish to have sent to the pager.

You can program a schedule that causes a pager report to be sent if the system is not
DISARMED by the scheduled time (see Sch ed u lin g section, event “03”). For example,
a working parent might want a message to be sent to a pager if their child did not
arrive home from school and disarm the system by a certain time.
If programmed, the message that is sent is: 7 7 7 – 7 7 7 7

Security Codes & Authority Levels
About Security Codes
Your installer assigned a master code that is used to perform all system functions.
In addition, other security codes can be assigned for use by other users (VISTA-20P
Series provides 47 additional codes; VISTA-15P Series provides 31 additional codes).
• Only the System Master and Partition Master can assign security codes to users.
• Users are identified by 2-digit user numbers and are pre-assigned to either
partition 1 or partition 2 (VISTA-20P Series).
• Only the System Master can change user partitions.
• In addition to a security code, each user is assigned various system attributes.
• Security codes can be used interchangeably within a partition when performing
system functions (a system armed with one security code can be disarmed by a
different security code), with the exception of the Guest and Arm Only codes
described below.
• Security code programming involves these steps:
1. Choose a user number from the set of users assigned to the partition in which
the user will be operating, and assign a 4-digit security code.
2. Assign an authority level to that user.
3. Assign other attributes as necessary (see attributes on the next page).
NOTE: The factory settings are designed to meet most normal user situations.
Therefore, the only step you usually need to do when adding users is assign a user
number (from the partition’s pre-assigned user numbers) and a security code.
Authority Level Definitions
Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can/cannot perform.
Level Title
Exp la n a tion

System Master
(default = 1234)
Reserved for user 02; Can perform all system functions and assign
codes in both partitions; can change its own code as follows:
Master code + [8] + 02 + new master code + new master code again
Standard User:
Can only perform security functions in assigned partition.
Cannot perform system functions reserved for the master user.

2
Arm Only:
Guest:
Can only arm the system. Cannot disarm or do other functions.
Can arm the system in assigned partitions, but cannot disarm the system
u n less the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned
to someone (e.g., babysitter or cleaner) who has a need to arm/disarm the
system only at certain times. The user of this code should n ot use the “Quick
Arming” feature.

Duress Code:
Intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under
threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the
Central Monitoring Station of your situation, if that service has been
provided.
Partition Master
(VISTA-20P Series) Can do everything a standard user can do, and
can assign security codes to users in their partition.

u ser a t tr ib u tes a n d to k eep a r ecor d of u ser p r ogr a m m in g.
NOTE: Partition Master codes (VISTA-20P Series only) apply only to those user numbers
previously assigned (by the system master/installer) to the partition master’s partition.
Ad d Secu r ity Cod e:
System/Partition Master code + [8] + user no. + new user’s security code
(Users 03/33 are preset
to partition programmers,
but can be changed.)
User 01 = installer
User 02 = master
The Keypad beeps once to confirm that new user was added.
User 03 = partition 1 master
User 33 = partition 2 master
Delete Secu r ity Cod e: System/Partition Master code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [0]
The security code and all attributes* set for this user number,
including any associated RF keys, are erased from the system.
(*except assigned partition)
Au th or ity Level:
System/Partition Master code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [1]+ auth. level
Factory Defaults:
users 04-32/34-49 = 0
users 03/33 = 4
Authority Levels (see definitions on previous page):
0 = standard user
1 = arm only
2 = guest
3 = duress
4 = partition master (VISTA-20P Series
only)
Access Gr ou p :
System/Partition Master Code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [2]+ group (1-8)
Factory Defaults:: none
You can assign users to a group, then set an access schedule that
defines the times this group of users can operate the system. The
system ignores these users outside the scheduled times.
User ’s P a r tition :
System Master Code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [3] + [0] + partition(s) + [#]
(VISTA-20P only)
Factory Defaults:
Part. 1 = users 03-32
Part. 2 = users 33-49
This command assigns the partitions the user can access. If more
than one, enter partition numbers sequentially, then press [#] to end.
E.g., master code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [3] + [0] + [1] [2] + [#] gives
the user access to partitions 1 and 2 and the common partition.
Partition Entries: 1 = partition 1 and common
2 = partition 2 and common
3 = common partition only
R F User Nu m b er :
Master/Part. Prog. Code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [4]+ zone no.
Factory Defaults:: none
Use this command to assign a wireless button device (keyfob) to this
user (keyfob must be enrolled in system first; see installer).
Zone number: enter the zone number assigned to a button on the
keyfob that will be used for arming/disarming by this user.
P a ger On /Off:
Master/Part. Prog. Code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [5] + 0 or 1
Factory Defaults:
users 01-49 = 1 (on)
You can program a user so that a message is sent to a pager
whenever this code is used to arm or disarm the system.
Paging On/Off: 1 = allow paging; 0 = no paging for this user

Some users can be given Multi-Partition arming ability by being assigned to both
partitions when programming user attributes.
When attempting to arm multi-partitions:
• You must use an Alpha keypad.
• The system arms only if all partitions are “ready to arm.”
• If any partition is “not ready,” the system does not arm at all.
• You can use the GOTO command to bypass open zones before arming.
• If any partition is already armed when global arming is attempted, that
partition remains in its existing armed state.

Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d)
Common Zone Operation (VISTA-20P)
Your system may have been set up to use a common zone, which is
an area shared by users of both partitions, such as a foyer or lobby.
If so, please note the following:
Ask your installer if a
"common zone" was
assigned. If so, check
this box
• The common zone will sound and report alarms only when b oth
partitions are armed. If only one partition is armed, the system
ignores faults on the common zone.
• Either partition may arm its system if the common zone is
faulted, but once armed, the other partition w ill n ot be able to
arm unless the common zone is first bypassed or the fault is
corrected.
• Faults on the common zone are displayed on common partition
keypads, and will also appear on another partition’s keypad when
the alternate partition is armed.
• Either partition can clear and restore the common zone after an
alarm.
• Entry/exit time for the common zone is the same as for partition 1.

12:34AM 01/02/00
• type of event, identified by its corresponding code
(refer to the code table that follows)
• zone or user number (depending on type of event)
• partition in which event occurred
• time and date of the event’s occurrence.
3. Pressing [∗] displays previous events (back in time).
Pressing [#] displays events forward in time.
4. Exit the event log by pressing any key other than [∗]
or [#].

In The Event Of Telephone Operational Problems
In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the control from the phone line by
removing the plug from the phone wall jack. We recommend that your installer demonstrate this
disconnection on installation of the system. Do not attempt to disconnect the phone connection
inside the control. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines. If the regular phones work
correctly after the control has been disconnected from the phone wall jack, the control has a
problem and you should immediately call for service. If upon disconnection of the control, there is
still a problem on the phone line, notify the Telephone Company that they have a problem and
request prompt phone repair service. The user may not under any circumstances attempt any
service or repairs to the security system. Repairs must be made only by authorized service (see
the LIMITED WARRANTY statement for information on how to obtain service).

Maintaining Your System
The components of your security system are designed to be as
maintenance-free as possible. However, to make sure that your
system is in reliable working condition, do the following:
1. Test your system weekly.
Taking Care of
Your System
2. Test your system after any alarm occurs.
Silencing Low
Battery Warning
Tones at the
Keypad
You can silence the keypad’s warning tones by pressing the OFF key,
but the keypad's low battery message display will remain on as a
reminder that you have a low battery condition in one or more of your
wireless sensors. When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one,
the sensor sends a "good battery" signal to the control as soon as the
sensor is activated (opening/closing of door, window, etc.), causing the
low battery display to turn off. If the sensor is not activated, the
display will automatically clear within approximately 1 hour.
Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery.
The system detects a low battery in wireless sensors, including smoke
detectors, the personal emergency transmitter, and the portable
wireless keypad and displays a low battery message*. (A low battery
in a portable wireless keypad is detected as soon as one of its keys is
pressed, and displayed as 00.). Battery-operated smoke detectors with
a low battery also emit a single "chirp" sound approximately once
every 20–30 seconds.
Replacing
Batteries in
Wireless Sensors
Wireless sensors
may not have
been used in your
security system
Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in
most units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service. 3-volt
lithium batteries provide up to 4 or more years of operation. Actual
battery life will depend on the environment in which the sensor is
used, the number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor has had
to send, and the specific type of sensor. Factors such as humidity, high
or low temperatures or large swings in temperature, may all lead to
the reduction of actual battery life in an installation.
IMPORTANT:
Use only batteries
recommended by
your installer as
replacement.
* The low battery message comes on as a warning that battery replacement
in indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the meantime, a sensor
causing a low battery indication is still fully operational.
• Treat the components of your security system as you would any
other electrical equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors or
windows.
Routine Care
• Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective
sensors, particularly on motion sensors and smoke detectors.
• The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft
cloth. Do n ot sp r a y w a ter or a n y oth er flu id on t h e u n its.

Fire Alarm System
THIS SECTION AP P LIES ONLY TO RESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for
continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the
strategically located smoke and heat detectors will sound their
alarms and automatically send signals to your system, triggering a
loud, interrupted pulsed sound* from the Keypad(s) and any
external sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your Keypad and
remain on until you silence the alarm (see below for silencing fire
alarms).
General
* Temporal pulse sounding is produced for Fire alarms, as follows:
3 pulses–pause–3 pulses–pause–3 pulses–pause. . . , repeated.

2. If the Keypad's FIRE display does not clear after the second OFF
sequence, smoke detectors may still be responding to smoke or
heat producing objects in their vicinity. Investigate, and should
this be the case, eliminate the source of heat or smoke.
3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in
the detector. Clear it by fanning the detector for about 30 seconds.
When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by
entering your code and pressing the OF F key.
Depending on the type of smoke detectors in your system, it may be
necessary to "reset" the smoke detectors after a fire alarm has been
turned off. Check with your installer. This "reset" is accomplished at
a keypad, as follows:
Smoke Detector
Reset
Enter security code ( except “arm only” user), then press the [1] key.
NOTE: During smoke detector reset, “FAULT xx” appears (about six
seconds) and should disappear if the detector is clear.

National Fire Protection Association
Recommendations on Smoke Detectors
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we
subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection
Association's National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72) noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A
smoke detector installed outside of each separate sleeping area, in the
immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the
family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and
unfinished attics.
In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors
in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic,
furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.

2. Determine two means of escape from each room.
One path of escape should lead to the door that
permits normal exit from the building. The other
may be a window, should your path be impassable.
Station an escape ladder at such windows if there
is a long drop to the ground.

these routes free from obstruction and post copies
of the escape routes in every room.
BA
BEDR
1ST FLOOR
•
4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you
are asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from
entering while you escape.
•
5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your
alternate escape route. If the door is cool, open it
cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door if smoke
or heat rushes in.
BACK
6. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do
not walk upright, since smoke rises and may
overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor.
•
7. Escape quickly; don't panic.
FRONT
8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away
from your house, where everyone can meet and
then take steps to contact the authorities and
account for those missing. Choose someone to
assure that nobody returns to the house — many
die going back.

LIMITATIONS OF THIS SYSTEM
WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or other
emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety
of reasons. For example:
•
Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor
or disconnect an alarm warning device.
•
Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work
without power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not
put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however
briefly.
•
Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if
the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the
path.
•
•
A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not
activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this
System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke
detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs,
or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or
building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors
have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not
always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping
gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.
Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as
anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.
•
Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their
installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple
beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot
detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or
windows.
Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical
system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the
ambient temperature of protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F, the detection performance
can decrease.
•
Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the
other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on
a
different level of the residence from the
bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not
hear the warning if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic.
Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service
or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.
Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect
themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond
appropriately.
•
•
•
This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to
last as long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance.
This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly.
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for
insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and
continue to insure their lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved
ones to learn about these developments.

ONE YE AR LIMITED WARRANTY
Honeywell International Inc., acting through its Security & Custom Electronics business ("Seller"), 2 Corporate
Center Drive, Melville, NY 11747, warrants its security equipment (the "product") to be free from defects in
materials and workmanship for one year from date of original purchase, under normal use and service. Seller's
obligation is limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, free of charge for parts, labor, or transportation, any
product proven to be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and service. Seller shall have no
obligation under this warranty or otherwise if the product is altered or improperly repaired or serviced by anyone
other than the Seller. In case of defect, contact the security professional who installed and maintains your security
equipment or the Seller for product repair.
This one year Limited Warranty is in lieu of all other express warranties, obligations or liabilities. THERE ARE NO
EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE HEREOF. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES MADE BY SELLER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PRODUCT, INCLUDING
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
OTHERWISE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL
PURCHASE. ANY ACTION FOR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN 12 MONTHS FROM DATE OF
ORIGINAL PURCHASE. IN NO CASE SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL
OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
OR UPON ANY OTHER BASIS OF LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED
BY THE SELLER'S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied
warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you.
Seller does not represent that the product may not be compromised or circumvented; that the product will prevent
any personal injury or property loss by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; or that the product will in all cases pro-
vide adequate warning or protection. Buyer understands that a properly installed and maintained alarm may only
reduce the risk of a burglary, robbery, fire or other events occurring without providing an alarm, but it is not insur-
ance or a guarantee that such will not occur or that there will be no personal injury or property loss as a result.
CONSEQUENTLY, SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY
DAMAGE OR OTHER LOSS BASED ON A CLAIM THE PRODUCT FAILED TO GIVE WARNING. HOWEVER, IF
SELLER IS HELD LIABLE, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING
UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE OR ORIGIN, SELLER'S
MAXIMUM LIABILITY SHALL NOT IN ANY CASE EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT,
WHICH SHALL BE THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. No increase or alteration,
written or verbal, to this warranty is authorized.
