User Codes
When the system is installed, you select a code number to turn the
system on and off. This is your
master user code , and it may be three
or four digits long. To change this code, contact Brink’s Customer Care
at 1-800-445-0872.
You can create a separate auxiliary user code for anyone who needs
access to your home. See page 19 for more information. You can
change or delete the auxiliary code whenever you like.
If you have questions about the system’s user codes, visit our website or
contact Brink’s Customer Care.
Entering and Exiting
Designated Doors
The designated entry/exit doors are those doors that you must use to
enter and leave your home while the system is on. These doors may be
equipped with the door sensors described on page 4. If you use a
different door to enter your home, an alarm may sound.
Entry Delay
When you enter your home while the security system is on, the keypad
beeps. This beeping reminds you to turn the system off. You must enter
your user code before the beeping stops. In most systems, that delay is
40 seconds long. If you do not enter your code before the delay ends,
an alarm is triggered.
Exit Delay
When you turn the system on in normal mode, you must exit the building
and close the door before the exit delay ends. For most systems, the
exit delay is 80 seconds; however, that number may vary if local agency
or regulator restrictions apply. Once that delay has ended, you will
trigger an alarm if you open a protected door or window, or move past a
motion detector.
Note: The length of the system’s entry and exit delays can be adjusted
(within certain limits). If you find it difficult to enter or exit your home
