ADEMCO 6137 User Manual

Ademco Vista-20SE/Vista-20HWSE
General
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency. Your system consists of at least one
keypad that provides control of system operation, and includes various sensors that provide perimeter and interior
burglary protection, plus smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire.
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 01, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 02, and so on.
These number will appear on the display, along with a description for that zone (if programmed), when an alarm or
trouble condition occurs.
Burglary Protection
Your system provides four modes of burglary protection: stay, away, instant and maximum, and allows you to bypass
selected zones while leaving the rest of the system armed. You must turn on or “arm” the burglary protection portion of
your system before it will sense burglar alarms. The system also provides a chime mode, for alerting users to the
opening of protected 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:
