User Codes - Electronics Line Penta Installation Manual

3.6: User Codes

The Penta is capable of maintaining four user codes, a duress code and an installer
code. Each of these codes are four digits long. Of the four user codes, only User
Code 1 (default 1111) has authorization to modify other user codes and the duress
code. The installer's code (default 1234) is the only user code which grants access to
the programming parameters and is programmable at address 59.
