Section 5: Programming; Security Access; 1: Master Password; 2: User Password - Honeywell NOTIFIER NCA-2 Instruction Manual

5.1 Security Access

The NCA-2 has two password levels: master and user. There is one master password, which grants access to all system programming.
There are nine user passwords, each of which may be assigned access to the programming change menus, the alter status menus, or both.
A user password does not give access to or allow change to any password parameters, not even its own. Only the master password will
allow access to all password change screens.
The panel arrives with factory default settings of 00000000 for the master password, and 11111111 for one user password. These should
be changed immediately.
Follow the steps below to change the factory settings:
1. Press PROGRAM/ALTER STATUS at the Main Menu screen.
2. Using the keyboard, enter eight zeros (00000000) after ENTER PASSWORD.
3. Press the ACCEPT soft key.
4. Press the PANEL PROGRAM MENU soft key.
5. Press the PASSWORD CHANGE soft key.
6. Select MASTER PASSWORD to set the primary password, or select USER PASSWORD to set user permission levels. NOTE:
Only the master password can be used to create or change passwords.
