General Information
The VISTA-50P/VISTA-50PUL allows a total of 75
security access codes to be allocated. Each security
access code is identified by a user ID number.
Regardless of the number of partitions each code
has access to, it occupies only one user slot in the
system. If a particular code is not used in all
partitions, that user ID number cannot be used
again.
User Codes & Levels of Authority
Each user of the system can be assigned a level of
authority, which authorizes the user for certain system
functions. A user can have different levels of authority
within different partitions
Level 0: Installer (User 1) Code
•
Programmed in field *00 (default = 4-1-4-0).
Installer Open/Close reporting selected in field *39.
•
Can perform all system functions (arm, disarm,
bypass, etc.), but cannot disarm if armed by
another code (or by Quick Arm).
•
Can add, delete, or change all other codes, and can
select Open/Close reports for any user.
•
Is the only code that can be used to enter program
mode. The Installer Code can be prevented from re-
entering the Program Mode by exiting using ∗98.
•
Must program at least one Master Code during
initial installation. Master Codes are codes
intended for use by the primary user(s) of the
system.
Level 1: Master Codes
•
Can perform all normal system functions.
•
Can be used to assign up to 73 lower-level codes,
which can be used by other users of the system.
•
Cannot assign anybody a level of 0 or 1.
•
May change his own code.
•
Can add, delete, or change Manager or Operator
Codes. Each user's code can be individually
eliminated or changed at any time.
•
Open/Close reporting is automatically the same as
that of the Master who is adding the new user.

User Access Codes
The Quick Arm feature can also be programmed
(partition-specific program field *29). The Quick Arm
feature allows the user to arm the system by pressing
the [#] key instead of the security code. The security
code must always be entered to disarm the system.
A user code other than the installer code must be
programmed in order for the Quick Arm feature
to function.
Use the "View Capabilities" keypad function (User
Code + [✳] + [✳]) to view the partitions and authority
levels for which a particular user is authorized. These
levels are described below.
Level 2: Manager Codes
•
Can perform all system functions (arm, disarm,
bypass, etc.) programmed by Master.
•
May add, delete, or change other users of the
system below this level (Manager cannot assign
anybody a level of 0, 1, or 2).
•
May change his own code.
•
Open/Close reporting is automatically the same as
that of the Manager who is adding the new user.
Levels 3-5: Operator Codes
•
Can operate a partition, but cannot add or modify
any user code (see table below).
Level
Title
Functions Permitted
3
Operator A
Arm, Disarm, Bypass
4
Operator B
Arm, Disarm
5
Operator C
Arm, Disarm only if armed with
same code
•
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 need to arm and
disarm the system at specific times only (e.g., a
babysitter needs to control the system only when
babysitting).
