System Operation

Security Codes
Installer Code
The installer programs the 4-digit Installer Code initially as part of the programming procedure. The factory default
Installer Code is 4-1-1-2, but may be changed in field
The Installer Code is the only code that can enter Programming mode and also, in normal operation mode, is used to
enter the Master Code, which allows access to the normal functions of the system.
Master Code
In normal operation mode, the Installer Code is used to enter the 4-digit Master Security Code using the keypad:
To enter/change the Master code by installer, enter:
To change the Master code by master, enter:
Secondary User Codes
In normal operation mode, the Master Security Code can be used to assign up to 6 secondary 4-digit security
codes, including a Babysitter Code and a Duress Code. The Master Code can also be used to remove secondary
codes from the system (individually).
To assign (or change) a secondary security code, enter:
The system will emit a single beep when each secondary code has been successfully entered.
To delete a secondary security code, enter:
Notes:
All Master and Secondary security codes permit access to the system for arming, disarming, etc.
• The Installer Code can disarm the system only if it was used to arm it.
• Babysitter Code is User Code No. 7; i.e., it can disarm the system only if it was used to arm it.
• Duress code is User Code No. 8. When this is used to perform any system operation, a special code is sent to the
monitoring station. Instruct users to be careful not to use this code for normal usage.
• If a secondary code is inadvertently repeated for different users, the lower user number will take priority.
• Opening and closing reports are sent for the Installer Code as No. 01, with the appropriate subscriber number.
Master Code and set of secondary user codes are sent as Nos. 02 and 03–08, respectively, in Contact ID format
(with the appropriate subscriber number); in 4+2, it is 1–F, "F" for anything greater than 14.
Panic Keys
There are three panic key pairs that, if programmed, can be used to manually initiate alarms and send a report to the
central station.
Each can be individually programmed for 24-hour silent, audible, personal or fire emergency responses. The panic
function is activated when both keys of the appropriate key pair are pressed at the same time, or the appropriate
lettered key is pressed for at least 2 seconds.
The panic functions are identified by the system as follows:
Keys
[1] & [
[ ] & [#]
*
[3] & [#]
Important: For the silent panic functions to be of practical value, the system must be connected to a central station.
