Overview
Hardwired initiating device — wired PIR, glass break, or contact for direct connection to VISTA zone inputs (IS335, DT8050, FG1625, etc.).
On Honeywell systems, wireless devices are supervised zones on the panel — tamper, low battery, and missing signals appear as trouble conditions that may block arming depending on panel programming.
