Section 4 - What Is A Program Code, User Code Or Hard Code - Assa Abloy DK-16 Manual

DOUBLE FLASH – Is displayed while in the PROGRAM mode when you are entering
codes. It is an indication that the Digital Keypad has accepted your entry.
LONG SINGLE FLASH – Is displayed when you are entering codes. It is an
indication that the Digital Keypad did not accept your entry.
QUICK FLASH – This is a function called Echo. Each time you press a key the LED
will flash and the sounder should beep. It is the Digital Keypad's way of telling that
you have properly pressed that key.

SECTION 4 - WHAT IS A PROGRAM CODE, USER CODE OR HARD CODE?

There are three types of numbers or codes that can be stored in your Digital
Keypad. They function as described below.
PROGRAM CODE - The program code is your password. It must have between 5
and 7 digits. It does not unlock the door. It is only used to get into programming.
The program code is stored in address location 00 on standard DK-16's and DK-
26's. It is stored in address location 000 on the expanded version. More on this in
the ADD/DELETE section to follow. Initially to program this code requires access to
the CPU board. After initial programming the code can be changed from the
keypad.
USER CODE – The user codes are codes that actually unlock the door and are
probably the ones you will be changing the most (when adding or deleting users).
In the standard DK-26 or DK-16 there can be up to 59 individual user codes. In an
expanded version of the DK-26 or DK-16 there can be up to 119 individual user
codes. A user code can be 2 to 7 digits in length. Each of the user codes is stored
in its own individual numbered address. The user code addresses on the standard
system begin with 01 and continue through 59. The user code addresses on the
expanded versions begin with 001 and continue through 119. More on this in the
sections to follow. The user codes can be added or deleted either by accessing the
CPU board to initiate programming or preferably by using the program code at the
keypad to start the programming sequence.
HARD CODE – The hard code in most systems is simply used as a "fixed code". It
is difficult to change on a regular basis, so it typically used in systems were codes
are rarely changed. It can only be changed by accessing the CPU board to initiate
programming then changing the code at the keypad.
