Programming; User Access Codes - GE Allegro User Manual

Programming

In program mode, panel keypad buttons let you navigate to all panel user
programming menus for configuring the system. Table 5 below describes the panel
keypad button functions in program mode. The system requires a valid access code
before it processes most commands.

User access codes

To preserve the integrity of your system, keep access codes confidential and delete
extra codes as soon as they are no longer needed. We recommend that you avoid
using obvious patterns such as 1111, 2222, etc.
Use Table 8 on page 26 to record the actual user names and codes.
Primary user code
The primary user code allows you to perform all system operations and user
programming. Only the primary user code can program, change, or delete a regular
user code from the system and directly bypass sensors.
To enter user programming mode:
1. Make sure the system is disarmed. Press 8.
The panel displays ENTER CODE FOR SETTINGS.
2. Enter the primary user code (the default is 1234).
The first menu item displays (CODES).
The primary user code can be changed, but not deleted.
To change the primary user code:
1. Press # once.
2. Press # to display the current primary user code.
