•
Operator C (sometimes known as the Babysitter Code) cannot disarm the system unless
the system was armed with that code. This code is usually assigned to persons who may
have the need to arm and disarm the system at specific times only (e.g., a babysitter
needs to control the system only when babysitting).
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 (only useful if the system is 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).
•
Assigned on a partition-by-partition basis, and can be any code or codes desired.
•
Will disarm (or arm) the system, but will also send a silent alarm to the central station
(if service is connected). There will be no indication at the keypad that an alarm was
sent.
Duress Reporting Note: A non-zero report code for zone 992 (duress) must be programmed, and
partition-specific field 85 duress location enabled, to enable Duress reporting.
•
The Duress report-triggering logic activates on the 5th key depression (such as OFF), not
the 4th key depression (last digit of code). Duress reports will not be triggered if the 5th
key is a [ ], such as when performing a GOTO or viewing the capabilities of a user.
The following rules apply to users when making modifications within the system based on
the user code authority levels:
•
Master Codes and all lower-level codes can be used interchangeably when performing
system functions within a partition (a system armed with a user's temporary code can be
disarmed with the Master Code or another user's temporary code), except the Operator
Level C Code described above.
•
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 only be DELETED or CHANGED from within the partition it was
created in.
•
User numbers must be entered in 2 digits. Single-digit user numbers must, therefore,
always be preceded by a 0 (e.g., 03, 04, 05, etc.). Make sure the end user understands this
requirement. Temporary codes are entered as 4-digit numbers.
