7.7 Special Codes

The following codes are special codes. Selecting the corre-
sponding user option will program each code (see section
7.5 "Change User Code Options").
System Master Codes
System Master codes have access to all partitions on the
system. These codes can be used to program other access
codes, except for other System Master codes. For a list of the
other user options that are enabled for this code, see the
Access Code User Options Table.
Supervisor Codes
The supervisor code can be used to program other access
codes that are only to be active on the supervisor's parti-
tion. Users with Supervisor codes cannot program other
Supervisor codes, or System Master codes. For a list of the
other user options that are enabled for this code, see the
Access Code User Options Table.
Duress Codes
If the 'Duress' user option is enabled, the code will become
a Duress code. When this code is entered, the system will
send a duress signal to the monitoring station. Make sure
that the Arm and Disarm user options are also enabled for
this code.
NOTE: When disarming with an access card, a duress signal
is not reported.
One-time Use Codes
If the 'One-time Use' option is enabled, the code will
become a One-time Use code. The code can be used to dis-
arm assigned partitions. When a user arms the system
using a One-Time Use code, the panel will erase the code
once the Exit Delay expires; after this time, the code cannot
be used again. Make sure that the Arm and Disarm user
options are also enabled for this code.
Log Only Codes
A 'Log Only' code will only create an entry in the event
buffer when entered at a keypad. Example: a log-only code
may be used by a guard to record the time that they
checked each area of the premises.
To create a log-only code, disable all the access code options
for the code.
26
Temporary Codes
A 'Temporary code' is an access code that can be turned on
or off by partition using the 'T-Code' function key. (See 6.11
'Function Key Programming'.) Any code with the tempo-
rary code attribute enabled will work this way.
To turn temporary codes on for a partition, press and hold
the 'T-Code' function key at a keypad assigned to the parti-
tion. Users may need to enter an access code after pressing
the 'T-Code' key, depending on how the function keys are
programmed.
NOTE: This feature must not be used with PC4820 access
control.

7.8 Guard Code

Ref #: [000004]
The Guard code can only be changed in this section and
cannot be altered by the user.
The Guard code can always be used to silence alarms and
arm all partitions. The code can only be used to disarm par-
titions the code is assigned to.
In addition, the Guard code can also be used to bypass
zones, activate command outputs and access the [*][6] Sys-
tem Master Options Menu when the code is active.
The Guard code will be active when any of the following
conditions occur:
• While a partition is disarmed
• After arming a partition using the Guard code, the code
will remain active for five minutes after the exit delay
expires. If the Guard code is not enabled for the armed
partition, it will only remain active for the duration of
the exit delay.
The Guard Code will become active after the 'Guard Delay'
time when any of the following conditions occur. The code
will remain active for the 'Guard Duration':
• If an alarm, tamper or fault occurs
• When a trouble occurs (each new trouble restarts the
timer)
• When a partition has been force armed
Guard Delay
Ref #: [00020306]
Program the time delay before the Guard code will become
active after one of the conditions described above occurs.
Valid entries are from [000] to [255] minutes. If [000] is
entered, the code will be active immediately (Default = 000)
Guard Duration
Ref #: [00020307]
Program the time the Guard code will remain active after
one of the conditions described above occurs. Valid entries
are from [000] to [255] minutes. If [000] is programmed, the
Guard Code will have no end time. (Default = 000)

7.9 Access Code Options

Access code options determine how codes are programmed
and which functions require an access code entry.
System Options
Ref #: [000200]
The following system toggle options pertain to the pro-
gramming and operation of access codes. These options
apply to every access code programmed on the system.
• New Grand Mastr New Grand Mastr: If enabled, the user can program the New Grand Mastr New Grand Mastr
Grand Master code (access code 1) through [*][5] access
code programming. If disabled, the Grand Master code
can only be changed via installer's programming
(default=Yes).
