Honeywell Vista 40 Security System Details

The Honeywell Vista 40 Security System is engineered with advanced microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones and system statuses. It provides comprehensive information on its alpha keypads, initiating appropriate alarms and optionally transmitting messages to a central monitoring station. This system offers a sophisticated yet user-friendly interface for managing your security needs.

The system features versatile arming options to suit different situations. The AWAY mode activates both perimeter and interior burglary protection, ideal when no one is on the premises. It includes both exit and entry delays, allowing occupants to leave and re-enter without triggering an alarm if disarmed promptly.

For those staying at home, the STAY mode arms only perimeter protection, permitting free movement within the interior while guarding doors and windows. This mode also incorporates exit and entry delays, making it convenient if someone is expected to use the entrance door later. Certain areas are automatically bypassed for convenience.

Increased security while at home is offered by the INSTANT mode. Similar to STAY, it only arms the perimeter but eliminates the entry delay, causing an immediate alarm if any protected point is opened. This is best when no late arrivals are anticipated.

For maximum protection, especially when premises are vacant for extended periods, the MAXIMUM mode arms all protection points and removes the entry delay. Any entry will trigger an immediate alarm, providing the highest level of deterrence. Exit delay is still active to allow safe departure.

A valuable built-in Self-Help Feature provides abbreviated user instructions directly on the alpha keypad's message display. By pressing and holding a function key for about five seconds, users can quickly access guidance on unfamiliar procedures, enhancing ease of use.

Optional Phone Access and Voice Response capabilities are available with a 4285 or 4286 VIP module. This feature allows users to access the system via a Touch-tone phone, receiving synthesized voice messages regarding system status, and performing arm/disarm functions remotely with voice confirmation.

The system can also integrate with a Keyswitch for simplified arming and disarming. This keyswitch features red and green indicator lights to quickly show the system's armed status or if there's a memory of alarm, offering a visual cue for system users.

The Chime Mode is a convenient feature that, when activated and the system is disarmed, sounds three tones at the keypad whenever a protected perimeter door or window is opened. This provides an audible alert for entries and exits without fully arming the system.

Users can view messages sent from their monitoring agency or installer directly on the keypad display. A "MESSAGE. PRESS 0 FOR 5 SECS." prompt indicates a waiting message, which can span up to four screens for comprehensive information.

For enhanced control, the system supports Access Door Control, allowing a locked access door to be momentarily or timed-unlocked via a simple keypad command. Additionally, the #70 Relay Menu Mode enables manual activation of lights or other devices, either from the keypad or a phone keypad with the VIP module.

The sophisticated Event Log Procedures record up to 100 historical events, categorized into Alarm, Check, Bypass, Open, and System events. Each event includes its time and date, and can be viewed by category, partition, or chronologically, offering a detailed audit trail for system activity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Honeywell Vista 40 Security System, and we answer them below.


What types of protection does the Honeywell Vista 40 Security System offer?
The Honeywell Vista 40 offers three primary forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency.

What are the main arming modes available on the system?
The system provides four distinct burglary arming modes: AWAY, STAY, INSTANT, and MAXIMUM, each with specific protection features like entry/exit delays.

How do I disarm the system and silence alarms?
To disarm the system and silence any burglary or fire alarms, simply enter your security code followed by pressing the OFF (1) key.

What does 'Memory of Alarm' mean, and how do I clear it?
'Memory of Alarm' indicates that an alarm condition occurred while the system was armed. The keypad displays the zone(s) that caused the alarm. To clear it, disarm the system by entering your security code and pressing OFF (1). If the system was armed during the alarm, you may need to repeat this sequence twice.

Can I bypass specific zones of protection?
Yes, you can bypass individual protection zones. Enter your security code, press the BYPASS (6) key, and then enter the 2-digit zone number(s) you wish to bypass. This allows you to arm the system with certain areas intentionally unprotected.

What is the 'Duress Code' and when should it be used?
The Duress Code is a pre-assigned security code that, when used to arm or disarm the system, silently notifies the central monitoring station of a threat situation. It should only be used if you are being forced to operate the system under duress.

How do I add a new user to the system?
To add a new user, a Master or Manager code is required. Enter your code, press the CODE (8) key, then follow the keypad prompts to enter the new user's 2-digit user number, 4-digit security code, and assign their authority level.

What is the 'GOTO' command for?
The GOTO command allows an authorized user to access and perform system functions in another partition from their current keypad. Enter your security code, then press the READY (*) key followed by the desired partition number (1-2).

How often should I test my security system?
It is recommended to test your Honeywell Vista 40 system weekly using the TEST (5) key to ensure all protection points and alarm sounders are functioning correctly.

What does 'CHECK' on the keypad display signify?
The word 'CHECK' accompanied by rapid beeping on the keypad indicates a trouble condition within the system, such as an open zone, communication failure, or a low battery in a sensor.

How do I silence a fire alarm?
To silence a fire alarm, enter your security code and press the OFF (1) key. If the fire condition persists, you may need to repeat this to clear the display after addressing the cause of the alarm.

What happens if a wireless sensor has a low battery?
If a wireless sensor has a low battery, the keypad will display 'LO BAT' along with the zone descriptor, and emit a beep once per minute. The sensor remains operational, but the battery should be replaced within 30 days.

Can I control other devices or lights with my security system?
Yes, if programmed by your installer, you can control certain lights or devices using the #70 Relay Menu Mode from either a keypad or a Touch-tone phone (with the optional VIP module).

What is the 'Chime Mode' used for?
The Chime Mode alerts you to the opening of protected doors or windows with a three-tone sound at the keypad when the system is disarmed. To activate or deactivate, enter your security code and press the CHIME (9) key.

Does the system support multiple users with different access levels?
Yes, the system supports up to 69 users, each with their own unique four-digit security code and one of six authority levels, defining the system functions they are permitted to perform.
