5. Supervisor
Introduction
This section describes the facilities available to the alarm system supervisor.
To be a supervisor you must use a special access code (see below). The
supervisor can allow or deny access to all the special functions described in
section 4. In addition, the supervisor can change access codes, set up
Duress Codes, and restrict users so that they can set the system but not
unset it.
Access codes
The 808 can store up to 8 different user access codes. For security you
should give one code to each person who has responsibility for setting and
unsetting the system. Do not allow users to share codes.
Every time someone enters an access code on the keypad the system
records the event in its log. To distinguish all the users and keep their access
codes hidden, the log shows each user as a number, for example "User 02",
"User 03" and so on.
The supervisor's access code is always "User 01". User 01 has access to
menu 8, which is used to change access codes and other user privileges. No
other user has access to menu 8.
Duress Code
If your system is connected to a central monitoring station, you may want to
give some of the users a Duress Code. If a user enters the Duress Code
while the system is set, then the end station unsets the system, but at the
same time sends a silent alarm call to the central monitoring station. This
facility is designed for times when a user is being forced to unset the alarm
system by an intruder.
Note that a Duress Code occupies one user number. The duress code
cannot operate any of the special functions described in "4. Special Func
tions".
Restricting users to Arm Only
Some of the people who enter your premises may not need full access to all
the alarm system functions. You can give these users Arm Only status. This
means that the user can set the system, but not unset it or use any special
functions. This facility is designed for people like cleaners who may need to
secure your premises after the daytime occupants have left.
