8.0Personal Identification Numbers (PINs)

8.1General Information

When programming personal identification numbers, it is helpful to know these terms:

•PIN: Personal Identification Number. Users enter this four- or six-digit code at the keypad to gain access to the system. You can assign a PIN to each User Number 001 through 200.

•User Number: This number identifies each person using the system. There are 200 possible user numbers available (001 through 200).

•Authority Level: This number determines the functions each user can perform.

Your system can assign up to 200 PINs, each four or six digits long. You can only assign a PIN to one user number. Attempting to assign the same PIN to multiple user numbers results in the three-beep error tone, and the entry is not made.

User Number 001 is designated as a Master code. It can be used to add, delete, or change other PINs. It always has access to all areas regardless of how it is programmed.

User Number 001 is shipped from the factory with the PIN of 1 2 3 4. Change this PIN to one of your personal preference and program it as a Master code.

Never program PINs with common sequences such as 1 2 3 4, 1 1 1 1, or 2 4 6 8 because they are easily triggered.

8.2Removing a PIN

To disable (remove) a PIN:

1.Enter a [Master code] and press [#][0][0].

2.Enter the user number of the PIN to be cancelled and press [#].

You cannot disable User Number 001 using this method.

8.3Changing a PIN

Since you can only change PINs in Master Programming Mode, they are not programmable from an RF (wireless) keypad. Change PINs at a text keypad because no visual clues are provided by an LED keypad.

Record your entries so they are available before you enter Master Programming Mode. Enter the parameters promptly. If a delay of 15 seconds or more occurs between entries, the 3-beep error tone sounds and the control panel automatically exits from the programming mode.
