Even though reaching the time-out stops the sirens, the alarm will still be in progress until the system is manually disarmed.

Access Codes

The system requires a valid access code before it will process most commands.

There is one System Master code which serves as the primary User Programming code for your system. Only a very limited number of users will need to know this code.

Concord 4 systems have six Partition Master codes (one for each partition) which allow access to system operations in their respective partitions. Concord Express V4 systems are single partition systems with no partition master codes.

Note

Partitions are individual security systems within the same control panel. Partitioned systems are typically used for large buildings with several entry/exit points and different access/operating hours. They also work well for small strip malls, duplexes, and quad-homes where one control panel can provide individual security for six different tenants.

Concord 4 systems have 230 Regular User codes (000-229), while Concord Express V4 systems have 16 Regular User codes (00-15). These codes act like keys to arm and disarm the system. If necessary, they can be assigned to neighbors, baby-sitters, or repair persons for temporary use.

Regular user codes can be changed in User Programming and are easily deleted from the system when no longer necessary.

Programming Access Codes

The code you use to enter User Programming determines which features such as codes and code attributes you’ll be able to change.

A user code can be given certain attributes that limit what the user can do within the system. Attributes may be changed by you, or by a dealer over the phone using downloading software.

The User Sheets in Appendix A provide a location for you to record the actual user codes and the attributes of each. If you need assistance in changing any code attributes contact your dealer.

Access Code Integrity

To preserve the integrity of your system, keep access codes confidential and delete extra codes as soon as they are no longer needed.

Avoid using obvious code patterns such as 1234, 1111, 2222, etc.

System Master Code Privileges

Using the System Master code to enter User Programming lets you:

•Change the System Master code.

•Change or delete the Partition Master code in the current partition.

•Change or delete Regular User codes in the current partition.

The default System Master code is 1234. It is important that you change this default and record the new code on the User Sheets in Appendix A.

Partition Master Code Privileges

Using the Partition Master code to enter User Programming lets you:

•Change the Partition Master code in the current partition.

•Change or delete Regular User codes in the current partition.

There are no default Partition Master codes. Record all codes on the User Sheets in Appendix A.

Regular User Code Privileges

You cannot enter User Programming with a Regular User code.

The Touchpad Tamper Feature

The installer can program your system to activate a Police alarm in the case of possible touchpad tampering.
