System Security Codes - Honeywell ADEMCO VISTA SERIES Programming Manual

SYSTEM SECURITY CODES

The systems provides one Installer code, one System Master code, plus a set of other user codes intended for other users of
the system. These codes can each be assigned one of 5 authority levels, which determine the functions each code can
perform as listed in the table below.
VISTA-20P: Provides 48 security codes (plus Installer code), including one System Master code, two Partition Master
codes, and 45 general user codes.
VISTA-15P: Provides 32 security codes (plus Installer code), including one System Master code and 31 general user codes.
Authority Levels (can be assigned to users 03-49 only; users 1 and 2 cannot be changed)
Level User No.
Installer 01
System Master 02
Partition Master P1 = 03
(default)
P2 = 33
0-User 03-49 (V20P)
03-33 (V15P)
1-Arm Only see "user"
2-Guest see "user"
3-Duress see "user"
4-Partition Master see "user"
Refer to the user guide for detailed procedures on adding/deleting security codes and changing user attributes.
The following is a brief description of how to add user codes.
Changing the System Master code...
Using Installer code: Installer code + [8] + 02 + new code
Using current System Master code: System Master code + [8] + 02 + new code + new code again
Adding a User Code:
Deleting a User Code:
Assigning Attributes:
Attributes:
1 = Authority Level
2 = Access Group
3 = Active Partition(s)
for this user;
4 = RF Zone No.
5 = Open/Close Paging
Functions
(default=4112) perform all security functions except can disarm only if used to arm; can
enter program mode; can change System Master code; cannot assign any other user codes
NOTE: For security purposes, the factory default installer code should be changed.
(default 1234) only one system master code per system; can perform all security functions,
add/delete users in either partition, change system master code, view event log, set system
clock, program keypad macro, program scheduled events, activate output devices
(triggers/relays)
VISTA-20P. Same as Master, except add/delete users limited to assigned partition only,
(these users can be assigned different authority levels, if desired; any user can be
assigned the partition master authority level)
perform security functions (arm, disarm, etc.) only; cannot add/delete users, view event log,
set system clock or program scheduled events
arm system only
can disarm the system only if it was used to arm the system
performs security functions, but also silently sends a duress message to the central station;
reports as duress code user number.
VISTA-20P. See Partition Master paragraph above; used to assign other user numbers as
partition masters
Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + user's code
Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + [#] [0]
Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + [#] [attribute no.] + value
Values
0-4 (see Authority Level table above)
0-8 (0 = not assigned to a group)
1, 2, 3 (common)
Enter partitions consecutively if more than one and press [#] to end the
entries.
Assigns user number to button type zone for arm/disarm (keyfob must be
enrolled in system first; see Wireless Key Templates section).
1 for yes, 0 for no
