Chapter 9: Two Download Codes

This document explains the use of two download login codes - located in the control panel
(for further details, see PowerMax User Guide) - used for the two types of access codes, as
follows:
• Master Installer – used to gain access to all the data in the PowerMax control panel
(usually used by the central station).
• Installer – used to gain access to all the data in the PowerMax control panel except
for central station data.

9.1 How It Works

Although Installers and Master Installers use the same software, access levels are
determined by the PowerMax control panel.
There are two Download code types, as follows:
• Master Download code
• Installer Download code
When performing login using the download codes, the PowerMax control panel will check
the download code to verify whether it is a Master download code or an Installer download
code.
In the event that the two download codes are identical, the PowerMax control panel will
respond using the lower privilege (in this case the Installer privilege).
If the PowerMax control panel responds with the Master privilege, the software is assigned
master privilege and will display all the fields.
If the PowerMax control panel responds with the Installer privilege, then the software is
assigned Installer privilege and will hide all the central station data.
