Honeywell Vista-128BPT/250BPT- Quick User Guide Part 2

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

IMPORTANT! PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION

For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at
every possible point of entry
to a home or commercial premises. This would include
any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi
-level building.

In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the Centr
al Monitoring
Station in the event that the telephone lines ar
e out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines).

EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION

Early warning fire detection
is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors have played a key role in reducing fire deaths in the United States.
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the Nationa
l Fire
Protection Association's National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72).

These
recommendations can be found
later in this document.

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 Fi
re Protection
Association's National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72).

Early warning fire detection
is best achieved by the installation of fire detection
equipment
in all rooms and areas of th
e 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 attic
s.

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.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION

Establish
and regularly practice a plan of escape
in the event of fire. The following steps are recommended
by the National Fire Protection Association
:
1. Position your detector or your interior an
d/or exterior sounders so that they can be heard by all

occupants.

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, s
hould your path be impassable.

Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the ground.

3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs and rooftops that can be used to escape.

Indicate escape routes for each ro
om. Keep these routes free from obstruction and post copies of the

escape routes
in every room.

4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from entering

while you escape.

5. Try th
e 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.

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.

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 some
one to assure that nobody
returns to the house —
many die going back.

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 fire or other emergency. Any
alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons. For ex
ample:

• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication t
o 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 pro
vide early
warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the Federal Emergency Ma
nagement Agency.
Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may hav
e been
improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reac
h 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 leve
l 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 ca
relessness and
safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosion
s, 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, t
he detector, even if
it operates as antic
ipated, 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 ma
nual. Passive
Inf
rared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can onl
y be detected
in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, c
eilings, 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 Det
ectors 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 decreas
e.
• 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 likel
y to waken or alert
people inside the bedrooms. Even person
s 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 temp
orarily 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 inadequat
e 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 insur
ance. Home
owners,
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.


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 phon
e 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 dis
connection 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)
.
