Section 2: Access Codes

Access codes are used to arm and disarm the system as well as to access
system functions. There are many different codes available on the system.
The Grand System Master Code will be able to perform all system
functions. This includes zone bypassing, activating outputs enabling user
options and programming access codes. The Grand System Master Code
is access code 0001. Normally, only your installer can change this code.
Please ask your installer if you wish to be able to alter this code.
The following sections explain how to program new codes and modify
existing codes. All access code options will also be described.
