Section 23. SYSTEM OPERATION

Security Codes

Installer Code
Master Code
Secondary User Codes
Notes:
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 for each
partition, which allows access to the normal functions of the system.
In normal operation mode, the Installer code is used to enter the 4-digit
Master security code for each partition, using the keypad connected to
Partition 1 :
To enter the Master code for Partition 1, enter:
Installer Code + [8] + [01] + desired 4-digit Master code for Partition 1
To enter the Master code for Partition 2, enter:
Installer Code + [8] + [02] + desired 4-digit Master code for Partition 2
To change the Master code, enter:
Current Master code + [8] + [02] + new Master code + new Master code again
In normal operation mode, each partition's Master security code can be
used to assign up to 12 secondary 4-digit security codes plus a babysitter code
and a duress code for that partition. The master code can also be used to
remove secondary codes from the system (individually).
To assign (or change) a Secondary security code, enter (via partition's
keypad):
Partition's Master Code + [CODE key] + User # (03–16)
+ desired Secondary Code
The system will emit a single beep when each secondary code has been
successfully entered.
To delete a Secondary security code, enter (via partition's keypad):
Partition's Master Code + [CODE key] + User # (03–16)
• 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. 15;, i.e., it can disarm the system only if it
was used to arm it.
• Duress code is User code No. 16. 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. Each Master code and set of secondary
user codes are sent as Nos. 02, and 03–16 respectively in Contact ID
format (with the appropriate subscriber number); in 4+2, it is 1–F, "F" for
anything greater than 14.
