Security Codes & Authority Levels
About Security Codes
Your installer assigned a master code that is used to perform all system functions. In addition, you can assign up to 47 different security codes for use by other users.
•Only the System Master and Partition Master can assign security codes to users.
•Users are identified by
•Only the System Master can change user partitions.
•In addition to a security code, each user is assigned various system attributes.
•Security 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 Arm Only code described below.
•Security 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
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
Authority Level Definitions
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 | |
| (default = 1234) |
| 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 system functions reserved for the master user. | |
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. | |
4 | Partition Master |
| Can do everything a standard user can do, and | |
|
|
| can assign security codes to users in their partition. | |
