Security Codes And Authority Levels - Honeywell ADEMCO VISTA-12A User Manual

Security Codes and Authority Levels

You can assign different security codes for use by other users.
• Only the System and Partition Masters can assign user codes to users and change user
Rules for
Assigning partitions.
• User code programming involves these steps:
Codes
1. Choose a user number from the set of users assigned to the partition in which the user
2. Assign an authority level to that user.
3. Assign other attributes as necessary.
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 to assign a user
number (from the partition's pre-assigned user numbers) and a security code.
Authority Levels (define the system functions a particular user can/cannot perform)

Explanation
Reserved for user 02; Can perform all system functions and assign codes in
(default = 1234) all partitions; can change its own code as follows:
Master code + [8] + 02 + new master code + new master code again
Can only perform security functions in assigned partition. Cannot perform
other system functions
Can only arm the system. Cannot disarm or do other functions.
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.
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.
Can do everything a standard user can do, and can assign user codes to users
in their partition and can change its own code as follows:
Partition master code + [8] + user number + new master code + new
master code again
