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, 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.
This manual is designed to help you become comfortable operating
your system. Each function is explained in step-by-step detail. We
recommend you read the SYSTEM OVERVIEW section to become
familiar with the terminology and the basic features of the system.
NOTE: All references in this manual for number of zones, user codes,
partitions, VistaKey modules, the master partition and the event log
capacity, use the VISTA-128FB’s features. The following table lists
the differences between the VISTA-32FB and the VISTA-128FB
control panels. All other features are identical for both panels.
Also, all procedures in this guide for entering zone numbers or user
numbers show 3-digit entries, which is valid for the VISTA-128FB.
For the VISTA-32FB these entries are only 2-digits.

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.
Zones
Your system’s sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For
example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned
to zone 001, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 002,
and so on. These numbers will appear on the display, along with an alpha
descriptor for that zone (if programmed), when an alarm or trouble condition
occurs.
Fire Protection
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on 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 your facility.

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 disarmed. Refer to the other sections of this manual for procedures
for using these features.
The following table lists the four different arming modes and the results of
each.
Features For Each Arming Mode
Arming Mode Exit Delay Entry Delay Perimeter Armed
AWAY Yes Yes Yes
STAY Yes Yes Yes
INSTANT Yes No Yes
MAXIMUM Yes No Yes
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.
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 (ex. FIRE,
ALARM). It remains displayed until it is cleared by disarming the system
(see DISARMING THE SYSTEM section).

System Overview (cont’d)
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.
Using Schedules
Your system may have been programmed with schedules for automatically
arming, disarming and activating various devices and/or performing other
system functions at predetermined times. Users can modify some of these
schedules by manually delaying a closing time, using temporary schedules, or
by programming special user schedules. Refer to the USING SCHEDULES
section at the end of this manual for scheduling related procedures.
Device Timers
The system provides up to 20 "timers" that can be used to control various
devices, such as lights or appliances. These timers are similar in concept to
the individual appliance timers that might be purchased at a department
store. The devices that can be controlled are programmed into the system by
the installer. Up to 96 of these devices can be programmed. Refer to the
PROGRAMMING DEVICE TIMERS section for procedures.
To Access Another Partition (GOTO Command)
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will
show only that partition’s information. But, if the user is authorized, a
keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in another
partition, by using the GOTO command. Note that only those partitions
authorized and programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.
To GOTO another partition, enter your security code, then press [✳]followed
by the desired partition number.
The keypad will remain in the new partition until directed to go to another
partition, or until 120 seconds has elapsed with no keypad activity. Entering
your security code, pressing [✳]followed by [0] will return the keypad to its
original partition.

–9 –
System Overview (cont’d)
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.
Self-Help Feature
Abbreviated user’s instructions are built into the system that can be easily
viewed on the alpha keypad’s message display screen. This feature will prove
particularly useful if this manual is not conveniently accessible when you
need to perform a system procedure with which you are not familiar.
To view the abbreviated instructions:
Simply press and hold down the function key of interest until the description
starts to appear (about 5 seconds) and then release it. The system must be
“READY TO ARM”to perform this function.
Refer to the FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD section for descriptions of each
key function.
Phone Access & Voice Response Capability
Your system may include a 4285 or 4286 VIP module that will permit you to
access the system via a Touch-tone 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.
• Control 4204/4204CF relays devices and lights and appliances through
the #70 Manual Relay Activation mode.
Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a
separate manual entitled PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which
accompanies the 4285 or 4286 VIP module.

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 or to light only when a key is
pressed, then turn off a few minutes later.
The keypads also feature a built-in sounder that will sound during alarms
and troubles. It will also "beep" during certain system functions, such as
during entry/exit delay times, during CHIME mode, and when depressing
keys to perform system functions (to acknowledge the key press). These
sounds can be optionally suppressed in some of your keypads (so as not to
disturb other users of the system). Ask your installer if this has been done.
The Alpha Keypad
Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) that can display system messages in user-friendly English.
Abbreviated user’s instructions can also be displayed (see Self Help
paragraph in the SYSTEM OVERVIEW section). These keypads can also be
programmed with custom zone descriptors.
