Your installer assigned a master code that is used to perform all system functions. In addition, you can assign different security codes for use by other users (FA168C provides 46 additional codes; FA148CP provides 30 additional codes).

•Only the System Master and Partition Master can assign user codes to users.

•Users are identified by 2-digit user numbers and are pre-assigned to either partition 1 or partition 2 (FA168C).

•Only the Installer or System Master can change user partitions.

•In addition to a security code, each user is assigned various system attributes.

•User codes can be used interchangeably within a partition when performing system functions (a system armed with one user's code can be disarmed by another user's code), with the exception of the guest code described below.

•User code programming involves these steps:

1.Choose a user number from the set of users assigned to the partition in which the user will be operating, and assign a 4-digit security code.

2.Assign an authority level to that user.

3.Assign other attributes as necessary (see attributes on the next page).

NOTE: The factory settings are designed to meet most normal user situations. Therefore, the only step you usually need to do when adding users is assign a user number (from the partition’s pre-assigned user numbers) and a security code.

Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can/cannot perform.

Level	Title		Explanation

N/A	System Master		Reserved for user 02; Can perform all system functions and assign codes in
			both partitions; can change its own code as follows:
			Master code + [8] + 02	+ new master code + new master code again

0	Standard User	Can only perform security functions in assigned partition.
			Cannot perform other system functions.
1	Arm Only	Can only arm the system. Cannot disarm or do other functions.

2	Guest		Can arm the system in assigned partitions, but cannot disarm the system
			unless the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to
			someone (e.g., babysitter or cleaner) who has a need to arm/disarm the system
			only at certain times. The user of this code should not use the “Quick Arming”
			feature.

3	Duress Code	Intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under
			threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the
			Central Monitoring Station of your situation, if that service has been provided.

Partition Master

(FA168C) Can do everything a standard user can do, and can assign user codes to users in their partition.

FA168C-CN, FA148CP, FA168C, FA148CP-CN specifications

The First Alert FA168CP-CN, FA168C-CN, FA168C, and FA168CP are standout models in the realm of fire alarm technology, presenting an effective blend of advanced features, reliable performance, and user-friendly design.

A hallmark of these models is their dual-sensor technology, which combines both photoelectric and ionization sensors. This innovative approach allows for quicker detection of a wide range of fire types, from smoldering fires that typically produce more smoke to fast-flaming fires that generate more heat. This dual capability enhances the efficiency and response time of the alarm, ensuring users receive timely alerts.

Another prominent characteristic of these First Alert models is their comprehensive connectivity. Most models are equipped with a wireless interconnect feature, which allows multiple alarms throughout the home to communicate with one another. When one unit detects smoke or carbon monoxide, all interconnected alarms will sound, maximizing alertness across the property. This feature is particularly beneficial in larger homes or multi-story buildings, where sound may not travel freely.

The FA168 series also includes a built-in, non-replaceable lithium battery, providing up to 10 years of power. This design not only eliminates the need for constant battery replacements but also ensures that the unit remains functional for an extended period without hassle. A convenient low battery notification alerts users when it’s time to replace the entire unit, adding an extra layer of safety.

In terms of installation, these models offer a user-friendly design that makes setup and maintenance straightforward. The unit typically features a single test/silence button, allowing users to quickly test the alarm's functionality or silence false alarms with ease.

Furthermore, the clear LED indicators provide visual confirmation of the alarm status, keeping users informed about potential threats. Design-wise, the FA168 series models boast a sleek and modern aesthetic that can seamlessly blend into various interior environments.

Overall, the First Alert FA168CP-CN, FA168C-CN, FA168C, and FA168CP serve as reliable guardians against fire hazards, employing cutting-edge technology to offer peace of mind to users. With their formidable features, easy installation, and efficient power management, these fire alarm models stand as excellent choices for both homes and businesses seeking enhanced safety measures.
