Security Codes & Authority Levels
How to Assign Security Codes and User Attributes
The following lists the various command strings for adding security codes and attributes.
Refer to the User Setup chart at the back of this manual for factory defaults of user
attributes and to keep a record of user programming.
NOTE: Partition Master codes (VISTA-20P Series only) apply only to those user numbers
previously assigned (by the system master/installer) to the partition master's partition.
Add a User:
(Users 03/33 are preset
to partition programmers,
but can be changed.)
Delete a User:
Authority Level:
Factory Defaults:
users 04-32/34-49 = 0
users 03/33 = 4
Access Group:
Factory Defaults:: none
User's Partition:
(VISTA-20P only)
Factory Defaults:
Part. 1 = users 03-32
Part. 2 = users 33-49
RF Zone Number:
(adding a Key Fob)
Factory Defaults:: none
Pager On/Off:
Factory Defaults:
users 01-49 = 1 (on)
System/Partition Master code + [8] + user no. + new user's security code
User 01 = installer
User 02 = master
The Keypad beeps once to confirm that new user was added.
System/Partition Master code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [0]
The security code and all attributes* set for this user number, including any
associated RF keys, are erased from the system.
(*except assigned partition)
System/Partition Master code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [1]+ auth. level
Authority Levels (see definitions on previous page):
0 = standard user
1 = arm only
2 = guest
System/Partition Master Code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [2]+ group (1-8)
You can assign users to a group, then set an access schedule that defines the
times this group of users can operate the system. The system ignores these
users outside the scheduled times.
System Master Code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [3] + [0] + partition(s) + [#]
This command assigns the partitions the user can access. If more
than one, enter partition numbers sequentially, then press [#] to end.
E.g., master code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [3] + [0] + [1] [2] + [#] gives
the user access to partitions 1 and 2 and the common partition.
Partition Entries: 1 = partition 1 and common; 3 = common partition only
2 = partition 2 and common
Master/Part. Prog. Code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [4]+ zone no.
Use this command to assign a wireless button (key fob) to a user for arming/
disarming functions (key fob must be enrolled in system first; see installer).
Zone number: enter the zone number assigned to a button on the key fob that
will be used for arming/disarming by this user.
Deactivating a key fob: You can deactivate the arming/disarming functions
for a key fob (ex. if lost or stolen) by deleting the associated key fob user. See
"Delete a User" above. Other key fob functions such as panic or device
activation (if programmed) remain active. To fully remove the programming
for a key fob, see your installer.
Master/Part. Prog. Code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [5] + 0 or 1
You can program a user so that a message is sent to a pager
whenever this code is used to arm or disarm the system.
Paging On/Off: 1 = allow paging; 0 = no paging for this user
National Security Systems (800) 457-1999
User 03 = partition 1 master
User 33 = partition 2 master
3 = duress
4 = partition master (VISTA-20P Series only)
