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 that 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.

Panel Linking

Panel Linking networks up to eight VISTA-128BP/VISTA-250BP control

panels, enabling a user to control the features of all control panels from a

single location. The Panel Linking is ideal for multi-building environments

(e.g. a shopping mall, college campus, etc.).

The system provides the following three modes to access other “linked”

control panels:

• Single-Partition, Single-Panel − displays status of a partition on a remote

control panel and allows control of that remote control panel.

• Multi-Partition, Multi-Panel Mode − displays status and allows

arming/disarming of multiple partitions at once on a remote control

panel.

• Multi-Panel View Mode − displays status and allows arming/disarming of

multiple remote control panels at a time.

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 house.
