Levels 3-5: Operator Codes
Level 6: Duress
– 146 –
• Can arm and disarm the system to the authority assigned, but cannot add or
modify any user code.
• May operate a partition with one of the three OPERATOR authority levels A
through C listed below.
Level Title
3 Operator A
4 Operator B
5 Operator C
• Operator C (sometimes known as Baby-sitter code), cannot disarm the system
unless the system was armed with that code. This code is usually assigned to
persons who may have the need to arm and disarm the system at specific
times only (ex. a baby-sitter needs to control the system only when baby-
sitting).
• Sends a silent alarm to a central monitoring station if the user is being forced
to disarm (or arm) the system under threat (only useful if the system is
connected to a central station).
• When the system's Auxiliary Voltage Triggers are connected to another
communication media (Derived Channel/Long Range Radio), note that duress
is signaled on the same trigger that signals silent panic (whereas duress has
its own unique report when digitally communicated).
• Assigned on a partition by partition basis and can be any code or codes
desired.
• Will disarm (or arm) the system, but will also send a silent alarm to the
central station (if service is connected). There will be no indication at the
keypad that an alarm was sent..
Duress Reporting Note: The Duress report triggering logic activates on the 5th key
depression (such as OFF), not the 4th key depression (last digit of code). Duress
reports will not be triggered if the 5th key is a [*], such as when performing a GOTO or
viewing the capabilities of a user.
General Rules on Authority Levels and Changes
The following rules apply to users when making modifications within the
system based on the user code authority levels:
• Master Codes and all lower level codes can be used interchangeably when
performing system functions within a partition (a system armed with a
user's temporary code can be disarmed with the Master Code or another
user's temporary code), except the Operator Level C Code described above.
• A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME or HIGHER
authority than which he is assigned.
• A user (levels 0, 1 & 2 only) may only ADD users to a LOWER authority
level.
• A user may assign other users access to only those partitions to which he
himself has access.
• A user can only be DELETED or CHANGED from within the partition he
is assigned.
• User numbers must be entered as 3-digit entries. Single digit user
numbers must, therefore, always be preceded by a "00" (example, 003, 004,
005, etc.). Make sure the end user understands this requirement.
Temporary codes are entered as 4-digit numbers.
