Capabilities and Functions
Feature/Function Description
Partitions
• 2 partitions, can protect two independent areas
• Common zone option allows either partition to arm, while leaving a common area
(ex. lobby or foyer) disarmed for access into the other partition.
Zones Up to 48 protection zones plus 16 keyfob zones (zones 49-64) for total of 64 zones:
• 8 basic hardwired zones (zones 1-8) with optional zone-doubling feature
• Up to 40 additional wired zones (zones 9-48) using up to 5 4219/4229 modules
• Up to 40 wireless transmitter zones (5800 series; zones 9-48)
• Up to 4 configurable zone types
Security Codes Up to 48 Security Codes, with separate authority levels and partition access
One-button arming Dedicated keys can arm the system.
Schedules Up to 32; can control devices and/or auto-arm/disarm
Keypad macros Up to 4; activated by wired keypads
Paging Up to 4 pagers; certain system conditions can report to pagers; can use a dedicated
key on keypads to send a signal to a pager
Event Logging 100 events; log display is done via Compass Downloader software or installer/master
code at Keypad
Zone descriptors Can assign for all zones (for alpha display keypads and/or 4286 Phone Module).
Bell supervision Optional, detects external sounder wiring short (when in alarm) or open (when bell is
off); causes a trouble condition, keypad display, and sends a report to the central
monitoring station, if enabled (field ∗91, option 1).
RF jam detection Optional, for wireless systems detects a condition that may impede proper RF
reception (i.e., jamming or other RF interference); causes keypad display, and sends a
report to the central monitoring station (if trouble reporting is enabled).
Telephone Line
Monitoring
Built-in option can monitor the telephone line voltage and can cause a local display,
or a display and trouble/alarm sound
Downloading via
Phone Line or
Internet
• Via Standard Phone Line: Using an IBM compatible computer, Compass
downloading software, and a compatible HAYES or CIA modem specified by
Honeywell.
• Via Internet: Supports upload/download programming capability via the Internet
using the AlarmNet network and Compass downloading software. This allows site
maintenance independent of central station monitoring, and modification to sites
globally via the Internet. Also see Internet Reporting below and Internet
Connection on the next page.
Internet Reporting Primary telephone number messages can be reported over the Internet via hardwired
high speed Internet connection and/or via an optional on-board VISTA-GSM4G
module (using the wireless GSM digital cellular network). The Internet connection
and optional module are collectively referred to as the Internal IP/GSM Device.
