Setting Installer Codes; Identical Installer And Master Installer Codes - Visonic PowerMaster-10 Installer's Manual

The system exits the "INSTALLER MODE" menu and returns to the normal disarm state while showing the
[3]
READY display.

5.3 Setting Installer Codes

The PowerMaster system provides two installer permission levels with separate installer codes, as follows:

Master Installer: The "Master Installer" is authorized to access all Installer Menu and sub-menu options. The
default code is: 9999 (*).

Installer: The "Installer" is authorized to access most but not all Installer Menu and sub-menu options. The default
code is 8888 (*).

Guard Code: Enables an authorized guard to only Arm Away / Disarm the control panel. The default code is 0000 (*).
The following actions can be performed only by using the Master Installer code:

Changing the Master Installer code.

Defining specific communication parameters – see "3:C.S REPORTING" in sections 5.6.1 and 5.6.4.

Resetting the PowerMaster parameters to the default parameters – see "09:FACTORY DEFLT" in section 5.11.
Note: Not every system includes a Master Installer code feature. In such systems, the Installer can access all Installer
Menu and sub-menu options the same as a Master Installer.
(*) You are expected to use the default codes only once for gaining initial access, and replace it with a secret
code known only to yourself.
To change your Master Installer or Installer Codes proceed as follows:

Notes:
1. Code "0000" is not valid for Master Installer. It is recommended NOT to use it also for the Installer.
2. Warning! Always use different codes for the Master Installer, for the Installer and for the Users.
A. If the Master Installer Code is identical to the Installer code, the panel will not be able to recognize the
Master Installer. In such a case, you must change the Installer code to a different code. This will re-
validate the Master Installer code.
B. If a User code is identical to the Master Installer or Installer codes, the system will no longer be able to
recognize the Installer code. In such a case, you must enter the "User Settings" menu and change the
User code to a different code. This will re-validate the Installer code.
5.3.1

Identical Installer and Master Installer Codes

In a 2-installer code system, the non-master installer may inadvertently change his Installer Code to that of the Master
Installer Code. In this case, the panel will allow the change in order to prevent the non-master installer from realizing
the discovery of the Master Installer's Code. The next time the Master Installer enters the Installer Mode the Master
Installer will be considered as an Installer and not as a Master Installer. In such a case the Master Installer should use
one of the following solutions:
(a) Access the panel using the Remote Programmer PC software application and change the Master Installer Code to
a different code than the one programmed by the Installer.
(b) i) Change the Installer Code to a temporary code, ii) exit the Installer Mode, iii) enter the Installer Mode again
using the Master Installer code (the Master Installer Code will now be accepted), iv) change the Master Installer
