Honeywell VISTA-250BPT Turbo-Series Alarm Control Panel

Honeywell VISTA-250BPT Turbo-Series Alarm Control Panel

The Honeywell VISTA-250BPT is a commercial alarm control panel that is even more robust than the Honeywell VISTA-128BPT Turbo Series commercial alarm control panel. Before Honeywell VISTA Turbo Series commercial alarm control panels were released, Honeywell offered VISTA Enhanced Series commercial alarm control panels like the VISTA-128BPE and VISTA-250BPE which were really just VISTA-128BP and VISTA-250BP alarm control panels that had a software revision of 4.0 or higher. The Honeywell VISTA Turbo Series commercial alarm control panels have many advantages over the VISTA Enhanced Series alarm control panels. The RS232 communications used when integrating your Honeywell commercial alarm control panel with Honeywell WIN-PAK or a third party interface and automation system are faster with the VISTA Turbo Series commercial alarm control panels (9600bps vs 1200bps) and the RS232 interface is integrated instead of having to add a 4100SM module like with the Enhanced Series commercial alarm control panels. You also don?t have to add the BSM module for the battery status monitor feature with the VISTA-250BPT like you did with the older VISTA-250BPE. The VISTA-250BPT features phone line cut detection which the VISTA-250BPE lacked. You can add up to (6) graphic touchscreen alarm keypads with the VISTA-250BPT while you could only use (3) graphic touchscreen keypads with the VISTA-250BPE. (Graphic touchscreen alarm keypads are Advanced User Interface (AUI) devices like the Honeywell Tuxedo Touch or Honeywell Tuxedo Touch WIFI.) The VISTA Turbo Series commercial alarm control panels fully support AlarmNet?s advanced Total Connect interactive service using Cal4 protocol while the Enhanced Series commercial alarm control panels had limited Total Connect support using the older Cal3 protocol. (You need to add a compatible AlarmNet alarm monitoring communicator to be able to sign up for the optional Total Connect service.) Finally, the VISTA-250BPT Turbo Series commercial alarm control panel has V-Plex? Smart Contact support while the VISTA-250BPE Enhanced Series commercial alarm control panel did not. Any one of these features would be reason enough to upgrade from the Honeywell VISTA Enhanced Series commercial alarm control panels. By choosing a Honeywell VISTA Turbo Series commercial alarm control panel, like the VISTA-250BPT, you can take advantage of all of these advanced features!

While the VISTA-250BPT supports the same (9) standard hardwired zones as the Honeywell VISTA-128BPT, you can use up to (241) advanced V-Plex zones with the VISTA-250BPT, instead of the (119) V-Plex zones supported by the VISTA-128BPT. V-Plex zones are different than typical hardwired zones in that you can connect devices that typically require 4-wire connections, like motion detectors and glass break detectors, using a simple twisted pair wire. V-Plex technology turns your commercial alarm control panel into a comprehensive scalable system that requires much less power and fewer auxiliary power supplies to cut down on cost and improve the ease of installation. You must make sure to use V-Plex alarm devices with V-Plex zones when setting up your Honeywell VISTA-250BPT commercial alarm control panel.
