Security Codes

The VISTA-20P system supports up to 48 security codes (VISTA-15P supports 32 codes), which can
each be assigned one of 5 authority levels. The authority level determines the functions each code
can perform as follows:
Authority Levels
Level User No.
Installer 01
System 02
Master
Partition P1 = 03
Master P2 = 33
(default)
0-User
03-49
03-33
1-Arm Only see "user"
2-Guest see "user"
3-Duress see "user"
4-Partition see "user"
Master
Refer to the user guide for detailed procedures on adding/deleting security codes and changing user
attributes.
The following is a brief description of how to add user codes.
Adding a User Code:
Deleting a User Code: Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + [#] [0]
Assigning Attributes: Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + [#] [attribute no.] + value
(authority levels can be assigned to users 3-49 only; users 1 and 2 cannot be changed)
