4.1 INTRODUCTION

Your system is equipped with a partitioning feature that can
divide your alarm system into four distinct areas identified
as Partition 1 through 4. Partitioning can be used in
installations where shared security systems are more
practical, such as a home office or warehouse building.
When partitioned, each zone, each user code and many of
your system's features can be assigned to Partition 1 to 4.
Note: If the partition feature is disabled, all zones, user
codes, and features of the PowerMax Pro will operate as in
a regular unit.

4.1.1 General Guidance

We recommend to program the PowerMax Pro on the work
bench before actual installation. Operating power may be
obtained from the backup battery or from the AC power supply.
The installer's menu is accessible only to those who know
the installer's 4-digit code, which is 9999 by factory default.
Note: Access to the installer menu, in PowerMax Pro that
has "User Permission" enabled (for example in UK) is
accessible only at the end of the user menu. This option
can be changed if necessary (see par. 4.4.36).
For PowerMax Pro that has 2 installer codes (not
applicable in UK), the default INSTALLER code is 8888
and the default MASTER INSTALLER code is 9999.
The following actions can be done only by using the
master installer code:
• Changing master installer code.
• Resetting the PowerMax Pro parameters to the default
parameters,
• Defining
specific
detailed in a note in Figure 4.5.
Obviously, you are expected to use this code only once for
gaining initial access, and replace it with a secret code
known only to yourself.
You will mainly use 5 control pushbuttons during the entire
programming process:
- to move one step forward in a menu.
- to move one step backward in a menu.
- to enter the relevant menu or confirm data.
- to move one level up in a menu.
- to return to the "OK TO EXIT" state.
The sounds you will hear while programming are:
- Single beep, heard whenever a key is pressed.
- Double beep, indicates automatic return to the
normal operating mode (by timeout).
☺
- Happy Melody (- - - –––), indicates successful
completion of an operation.
- Sad Melody (–––––), indicates a wrong move
or rejection.

4.1.2 Entering an Invalid Installer Code

If you enter an invalid installer code 5 times, the keypad
will be automatically disabled for 90 seconds and the
message WRONG PASSWORD will be displayed.

4.1.3 Installer's Menu

The installer's menu is shown in Figure 4.1a. The text in
rectangles represents the current PowerMax Pro display.

4.1.4 Setting a New Installer Code

To set an installer code, perform the actions that are
presented in Figure 4.1b. When you are instructed to enter
code, enter a 4-digit code.
4.1.5 Setting a New Installer Code in
PowerMax Pro that has 2 Installer
Codes
For PowerMax Pro with 2 installer codes, INSTALLER
code (default 8888) and MASTER INSTALLER code
(default 9999), set new codes as shown in Figure 4.1c.
For details regarding the different authorization levels
when logging in with installer code and master installer
code, refer to the note inside Figure 4.5 (DEFINE COMM).
By using the master installer code, the menu enables
changing both master installer code and installer code.
By using the installer code, the menu enables changing
the installer code only.
