General

To Assign, Change, or Delete User Codes

It is recommended that obvious codes such as 1-1-1-1 or 1-2-3-4 not be assigned.

Temporary users should not be shown how to use any system function that they do not need to know (e.g., how to bypass pro- tection zones).

Duress Code

SECURITY CODES

At the time of installation, your installer programmed a personal four-digit Master code, known only to you and yours. This code is used to perform most system functions, including arming and disarming of the system. As an additional safety feature, up to 4 temporary User Codes can be assigned for use by those not having a need to know the Master code. Note that the Master code remains in effect even when other user codes are assigned.

IMPORTANT! When performing any of the procedures that follow, do not allow more than 2 seconds to elapse between steps, otherwise the entry will be aborted, and the procedure must be repeated from its beginning.

The Master security code can be used to assign up to 4 secondary User codes (up to 5 if no Duress code is assigned). The Master code can also be used to change any User code or to remove (delete) any secondary User code from the system.

To Assign or Change a User Code:

1.Enter your Master code and press the CODE [8] key.

2.Enter the single-digit User No. for whom a code is to be assigned or changed. Codes for User Nos. 3 to 6 may be assigned; however, if a Duress code (User No. 8) has not been assigned (either by your installer, or by yourself), an additional user code may be assigned to user No. 8 .

3.Enter the desired 4-digit code for use by that User Number. The keypad will beep once when a User code has been successfully entered.

To Delete a User Code:

Perform steps 1 and 2 above and then stop. In a few moments, the keypad will beep once, indicating that the existing code has been deleted.

This feature is 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 station of your situation, if that service has been provided.
