7.5Personal Identification Numbers

7.5.1 General Information

APIN (Personal Identification Number) is the 4- or 6-digit code users must enter at the keypad to gain access to the system. Your system has the capability to assign up to 200 PINs, each four or six digits long. A PIN may be assigned to each User Number.

PINs should never be programmed with common sequences such as 1 2 3 4, 1 1 1 1, or 2 4 6 8 because they are easily violated.

A User Number is the number that identifies each person using the system. There are 200 possible User Numbers available for use (001 through 200).

Each User Number can have only one PIN assigned to it. Attempting to assign the same PIN to multiple User Numbers will result in the three-beep error tone, and the entry will not be made.

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

User Number 001 is shipped from the factory with the PIN of 1 2 3

4.If your system has been reprogrammed for 6-digit PINs, the PIN for User Number 001 will be 123456. This PIN should be changed to one of your personal preference and must be programmed as a Master code.

A Master code is one of the available authority levels which can be assigned to a user to determine which functions that user will be able to perform. The available authority levels are:

0 = Master: Can enter all commands, add or change PINs in assigned partitions, change the time and date, bypass, arm, disarm, perform system tests, system reset and view history. User Number 001 must have the Master authority level. Any or all PINs can behave as a Master code.

1 = Unlimited: Can enter all commands, bypass, arm, disarm, system reset and perform system tests. It can not change PINs.

2 = General: Can bypass, arm and disarm. It can not change PINs, system reset, enter [#] [7] or any of the [#] [8] functions.

3 = Arm Only: Can arm the system with [PIN] + [ON] arming sequence only. It can not perform any other functions, including disarming.

4 = Temporary: Valid only for a specified time (the PIN will disappear upon expiration date). It can arm and disarm the system, but can not perform any other functions. If this is done from a Master keypad, you must be in Single Partition Mode. If access is assigned to more than one partition, you must enter a Temporary PIN expiration date for all assigned partitions (see Changing the Expiration Date for Temporary PINs).

5 = Duress: When the system is disarmed using the duress code, a silent report is sent to your monitoring service. The Duress code is intended to be used when the user is forced to disarm the system.

6 = Access Code: When a PIN with an Access Code is entered, any output programmed for Access Output (i.e. door strikes) will pulse on for 10 seconds (works when the system is armed or disarmed).

7.5.2 Programming PINs

PINs can only be added, changed, or removed in Master Programming Mode, so they are not programmable from an RF (wireless) keypad.

You should write down your entries before you enter the Master Code Programming Mode and have them with you as you begin programming. Make your entries promptly. If a long delay occurs in your entries, the 3-beep error tone occurs and exits you from the programming mode.

It is recommended that all PIN programming procedures be performed at a DS7447/DS7447E keypad since this keypad will provided visual prompts throughout the programming sequence. No visual clues will be given from a D7445/DS7445i keypad. When the programming sequence is successfully completed, both the DS7447/DS7447E and DS7445/DS7445i keypads will signal the seccessful completion with a long beep.

To add or change a PIN:

•Enter Master Programming Mode (press [Master PIN] + [#] [0]).

•Enter a 0 for PIN Setup programming (press [0]).

•Enter the User Number (enter a 3-digit number from 001 to 200).

•Enter the Authority Level (enter a number from 0 to 6).

•Enter the Area(s) (Partitions) to which this user will have access (press [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and/or [8] followed by [#]).

•Enter the PIN (enter any 4- or 6-digit number; do not press [#]).

•Enter the PIN again followed by [#].

To set the expiration date for an existing Temporary PIN:

•Enter Master Programming Mode (press [Master PIN] + [#] [0]).

•Enter a 3 for Date of Code Expiration Setup programming (press [3]).

•Enter the Expiration Month (press [0] [1] for January through [1]

[2]for December).

•Enter the Expiration Day (press [0] [1] through [3] [1]). The Tem- porary PIN will expire at Midnight on the day selected.

•Enter the Year (enter the last two digits of the year followed by [#]).

NOTE: Entering the command sequence [Master Code] [#] [0] [3]

[#]will cause the DS7447/DS7447E keypad to read back the temporary code expiration date.

To remove a PIN:

•Enter Master Programming Mode (press [Master PIN] + [#] [0]).

•Enter a 0 for PIN Setup programming (press [0]).

•Enter the User number of the PIN to be cancelled, followed by [#] (enter a 3-digit number from 001 to 200, then press [#]).
