Siren Time-out

If the system is not disarmed after an alarm, the sirens will
continue to sound until the time-out period is reached. The
time-out period can be programmed only by your installer
or dealer.
Even though reaching the end of the time-out period stops
the sirens, if your system is monitored, the central station
will consider the alarm in progress until the system is man-
ually disarmed.

Access Codes

The system requires a valid access code before it will pro-
cess most commands. The Appendix A User Sheets pro-
vide a location for you to record the System Master and
User codes.

System Master Code

There is one System Master code. The System Master
code is used to enter the programming menus for your sys-
tem. The default System Master code is
important that you change the default code and record the
new code in the Appendix A User Sheets.
To change the System Master Code:
1. Enter the programming menus by pressing
current System Master Code.

Regular User Codes

There are 16 Regular User codes which act like keys to
arm and disarm the system. If necessary, they can be
assigned to neighbors, babysitters, or repair persons for
temporary use. Regular user codes can be changed in the
programming menus and are easily deleted from the sys-
tem when no longer necessary.
Good User Code Hygiene
To preserve the integrity of your system, keep user codes
confidential and delete extra codes as soon as they are no
longer needed.
We recommend that you avoid using obvious code patterns such

Using the Programming Menus

Some system settings can be changed by you, the user,
while other settings must be changed by the installer.
To change system settings, you'll use the System Master
code to enter a series of programming menus. Appendix C
gives a detailed explanation of how to use the menus or, if
desired, how to use programming shortcuts.
