Your system is equipped with an integrated Partition Mode
that can divide your alarm system into as many as three
distinct areas called partitions. If Partition Mode is enabled
additional menus become available and several system
features such as the LCD display behave differently. For
further details on Partition Mode see Appendix A.

4.1.1 General Guidance

We recommend to program the PowerMaxComplete 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 PowerMaxComplete
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 PowerMaxComplete that has 2 installer codes, the
default MASTER INSTALLER code is 9999 and the default
INSTALLER code is 8888.
The following actions can be done only by using the
master installer code:
 Changing master installer code.
 Resetting the PowerMaxComplete parameters to the
default parameters,
 Defining

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.
