To Add A Master, Manager, Or Operator Code - ADEMCO VISTA-32FB Installation And Setup Manual

VISTA-32FB Installation and Set-Up Guide
Open/Close Reporting Note: When adding a user, the system will only prompt for
Open/Close reporting capability if the user is being added by the Installer. When a Master or
Manager adds a new user, the new user's Open/Close reporting enable will be 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.
ADEMCO Contact ID format is capable of reporting Users 01-75 uniquely. If any other report
format is used, only user numbers 01 - 15 can uniquely report to the central station. Users 16 - 75
will report as User 15.
Multiple Partition Access Examples
Each user is programmed for a primary (home) partition. A user can also be given access to
operate one or more additional partitions. Within each partition, each user may be
programmed to have different levels of authority. For example, User 3, the VP of
Engineering, could be assigned to work within the Engineering Department (Partition 1) of
ABC Manufacturing. Since the full capabilities in the area are required, User 3 is assigned
as a MASTER with Level 1 authority. This means User 3 may arm, disarm, bypass, add, or
modify users in Partition 1.
User 3 must also be able to gain access to the manufacturing area (Partition 2) on an
emergency basis. This can be easily set up with the partitioned system by requesting that
User 3 also be assigned to Partition 2, with a level of authority set lower, such as Level 4
(OPERATOR Level B), which allows the user to arm and disarm, but nothing else. The
control will automatically assign User 3 the same user number within Partition 2, and does
not require reprogramming of the already-existing 4-digit security code.
In the above example, User 3 has MASTER authority in Partition 1 and OPERATOR B
authority in Partition 2. The user number is the same for both partitions. Note that if a
user number is already being used in a partition, the system will automatically assign a
new user an unused number.

To ADD a Master, Manager, or Operator Code

During user code entry, normal key depressions at other keypads in a partition will be ignored.
However, panic key depression will cause an alarm and terminate user entry.
