Level 6: Duress Codes
•Sends a silent alarm to a central monitoring station if the user is being forced to disarm (or arm) the system under threat (system must be connected to a central station).
•When the system’s Auxiliary Voltage Triggers are connected to another communication’s media (Derived Channel/Long Range Radio), note that duress is signaled on the same trigger that signals silent panic (whereas duress has its own unique report when digitally communicated).

General Rules on Authority Levels and Changes
The following rules apply to users when making modifications within the system based on the user code authority levels:
•Master Codes and all
•A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME or HIGHER authority than that which he is assigned.
•A user (levels 0, 1 and 2 only) may only ADD users to a LOWER authority level.
•A user may assign other users access to only those partitions to which he himself has access.
•A user code can be DELETED or CHANGED only from within the partition it was created in.
•User numbers must be entered in

Open/Close Reporting Note: When a user is added, the system prompts for Open/Close reporting capability only if the installer is adding the new user. When a Master or Manager adds a new user, the new user’s Open/Close reporting is the same as that of the Master or Manager who is adding the user. If Open/Close reports are required to be selectable by the Master or Manager, the Installer should assign two Master or Manager user codes: one with Open/Close reporting enabled, and one without.
Note that Open/Close reporting of Quick Arm is enabled if User 02 is enabled for Open/Close reporting, and that Quick Arm reports as User 00. In order for Quick Arm reports to be sent for all partitions, User 02 must have authority and Open/Close must be enabled for all partitions. If a code with access to all partitions is not desired, it is suggested that user 02 be assigned authority level 5 in all partitions, and that the code be kept secret. Authority level 5 cannot disarm the system unless armed by that user.

Multiple Partition Access
Each user is programmed for a primary (home) partition. A user can also be given access to operate one or both partitions. Within each partition, each user may be programmed to have different levels of authority. For example, User 03, the VP of Engineering, could be assigned to work within the Engineering Department (Partition 1) of ABC Manufacturing. Because he needs the full capabilities in his area, he is assigned as a MASTER with Level 1 authority.
He must also be able to gain access to the manufacturing area (Partition 2) on an emergency basis. You can set this up easily by requesting that he also be assigned to Partition 2, with a level of authority set lower, such as Level 4 (OPERATOR Level B).
The control automatically assigns him the same user number within Partition 2.
EXAMPLE OF MULTIPLE PARTITION ACCESS
Part 1 | Part 2 |
User 3 | User 3 |
Level 1 | Level 4 |
Master | Oper B |
In the above example, User 3 has MASTER authority in Partition 1 and OPERATOR B authority in Partition 2. His user number is the same for both partitions.
