Description

Honeywell-ADEMCO VISTA-250BP
Commercial Burglary/CCTV and Access Control Platform

The VISTA-250BP is an eight partition, 250 zone UL commercial burglary control panel that meets the demanding requirements of today’s commercial installations while simplifying end-user operation.

A revolutionary feature called Panel Linking allows multiple partitions, panels – even buildings – to be armed, disarmed and have status checked all from one location.

Up to eight VISTA-250BP panels can be linked together, and the control can be integrated with Honeywell-ADEMCO’s PassPoint system (via the Vista Gateway Module) to provide a fully integrated security and access control system. The VistaKey Access Control system and the VistaView-100 CCTV Switcher can also be seamlessly integrated with this powerful commercial platform.

Basic Hardwired Zones

Provides nine style-B hardwired zones with the following characteristics:

• EOLR supervision (optional for zones 2-8) supporting N.O. or N.C. sensors (EOLR supervision required for fire and UL burglary installations)
• Individually assignable to one of eight partitions
• Up to 16 two-wire smoke detectors on zone 1
• Four-wire smoke or heat detectors on zones 1-8 (power to four-wire smoke detectors must be supervised with an EOL device)
• Up to 50 two-wire latching glassbreak detectors on zone 8

Polling Loop Expansion

Supports up to 241 additional zones using a built-in polling (multiplex) loop interface. Current draw can total up to 128mA. Polling loop zones have the following characteristics:

• Must use RPM (Remote Point Module) devices
• Supervised by control panel
• Individually assignable to one of eight partitions

Wireless Expansion

Supports up to 250 wireless zones using 5881 RF receiver (fewer if using hardwire and/or polling loop zones). Wireless zones have the following characteristics:

• Supervised by control panel for check-in signals (except certain non-supervised transmitters)
• Tamper protection for supervised transmitters
• Individually assignable to one of eight partitions

Scheduling
Provides the following scheduling capabilities:

• Open/Close Schedules (for control of arming/disarming and reporting)
• Holiday Schedules (allows different time windows for open/close schedules)
• Timed Events (for activation of relays, auto-bypassing and unbypassing, auto-arming and disarming, etc.)
• Access Schedules (for limiting system access to users by time)
• End User Output Programming Mode (provides 20 timers for relay control)

Eight Partitions
Provides the ability to control eight separate areas independently, each functioning as if it had its own separate control. Partitioning features include:

• A Common Lobby partition (1-8), which can be programmed to arm automatically when the last partition that shares the common lobby is armed and to disarm when the first partition that shares the common lobby is disarmed
• A Master partition (9), used strictly to assign keypads for the purpose of viewing the status of all eight partitions at the same time (master keypads)
• All zones assignable to one of eight partitions
• Keypads assignable to one of eight partitions or to master partition 9 to view system status
• Ability to assign relays to one or all eight partitions
• Ability to display fire and/or burglary and panic and/or trouble conditions at all other partitions’ keypads (selectable option)
• Certain system options selectable for each partition, such as entry/exit delay and subscriber account number
• Panel Linking allows multiple control panels to be networked together and controlled from any keypad in the system:
• Control multiple zones, partitions, buildings from a central location
• Check status, arm and disarm any partition from any keypad in the system (based on user’s authority level)
• Users can have a different authority level in each partition and access to different partitions in each panel
• Global Arming – users can arm and disarm all the partitions in all the panels they have access to, with one set of keystrokes

Applications

The VISTA-250BP control is well suited for a variety of applications as a burglary control. A diverse line of ADEMCO initiating devices support this extremely powerful control. Some of the applications supported are medical and professional buildings, supermarkets, churches or synagogues, office buildings, schools, universities, strip malls, larger residences and factory or warehouse environments.

Installation
The VISTA-250BP alarm system has been designed to mount both quickly and easily. It meets all applicable requirements for UL-Commercial Burglary installations, use the Vista-ULKT kit when an attack resistant enclosure is required.
