Everyday Operation; Access To The System; Entering And Leaving The Protected Area - Cooper Security i-on16 User Manual

2. Everyday Operation

Everyday operation involves setting and unsetting the alarm
system and occasionally dealing with alarms. If you need to know
how to set up new users, or change the way the system operates
then please read the "Administration" section.

Access to the System

To operate the system a user must identify themselves, either by
entering an access code on the keypad or by presenting a
proximity tag to the front of the keypad.
Access code and tag act as unique identifiers for each user, and
may be used interchangeably at any time.
When delivered from the factory the control unit recognises just
one user, and this user has Administrator privileges (see page
15). This user's default access code is "1234", and they do not
have any tag or other device registered to their account.
Cooper Security Limited recommend that you change the
default access code as soon as possible (see page 16).
The installer has a separate access code which they cannot use to
set or unset the alarm system. Neither can they use that code to
change details of other users registered to the system. Similarly,
the Administrator code has no access to any installer
programming menus.

Entering and Leaving the Protected Area

In many alarm systems the keypad is inside the protected area.
To make sure that you can get to the keypad when the system is
set without starting an alarm the installer programs the control
unit to pause for a few moment if it detects activity on specific
entry/exit routes. The installer chooses the length of the pause to
enable you to get to the keypad if you are entering, or leave the
protected area if you are setting the system. During the pause
the keypad will give a warning tone. When you hear the warning
tone do not stray off the entry/exit route chosen by the installer
or you will start an alarm.
