Programming Additional Access Codes
Using a System or Partition Master Code
1 Press the [
✱
], then [5] key to enter the User
Programming Commands. The keypad will display
‘Enter Master Access Code’. Either a System Master
or Partition Master Access Code may be entered.
■
If a System Grand Master Code is entered, the user
will have the option of programming System Master
Codes or Access codes in any partition.
■
If any other System Master Code is entered, the user
will have the option of programming Access Codes in
any partition.
■
If a Partition Master Code is entered, only the Access
Codes in the same partition can be programmed.
2 Upon entering the partition of codes to program, the
display will show for 3 seconds the number of free
codes and the total number of codes for that partition.
For example, if 10 codes have been assigned to a
partition by the installer, and the user has 4 access
codes already programmed, the display will say ‘6
codes free, 10 codes total’.
3 Next, ‘Sel Code (1) <>’ will be shown on the top line
of the LCD display. The number in brackets
represents which of the codes in that partition is being
programmed. For example, if 10 access codes were
assigned to the partition, the number in the brackets
would range from 1 to 10 as you toggle through the
codes using the [<][>] keys.
‘Access Code’ along with a number showing which of
the 128 access codes is being programmed will be
shown at the bottom line of the LCD display. For
example, if you have 5 codes assigned to be System
Master codes, and 10 codes assigned to partition 1,
when programming the System Master Codes the
display will show ‘Access Code 1’ to ‘Access Code 5’.
When programming codes in partition 1, the display
will show ‘Access Code 6’ to ‘Access Code 15’.
The Installer must be careful whenever he reassigns
additional codes to a partition or assigns System Master
codes after the Access codes have been programmed.
For example, if the system originally had 5 System
Master Codes and 10 codes in Partition 1, with the
access codes programmed and he then assigns 10
codes to be System Masters, 5 of the codes in Partition
1 will now be assigned to System Masters, and 5 codes
from Partition 2 will now be Partition 1 Codes, and so on.
NOTE: If the installer changes the number of codes
assigned to a partition, he must also reprogram all the
access codes.
4 Use the [<][>] keys to toggle to the code to be
programmed, and press the [
✱
] key to select. A menu
for editing access codes will be displayed. The menu
selections are:
[0] Program Code
- When selected, the keypad will
display ‘Enter Digits’ and what is currently programmed
for that access code. Enter in the 4 digit code. Do not
press [
✱
] or [#] while entering the access code. If you
do not wish to change the code, use the [<][>] keys to
exit. When you have finished entering the code, if you
are programming System Master codes, the keypad will
return to selecting which System Master code to
program. If you were programming Access Codes for a
partition, the keypad will ask you to select the class of
the code being programmed. See ‘Edit Code Class’.
[1] Erase Code - If a code is no longer needed, this
selection will erase the code. It does not erase the code
name.
[2] Edit Code Class - Do not select this section when
programming System Master Codes, only when
programming partition access codes. Your selections of
code class types are Partition Master codes, Arm/
Disarm/Bypass, Arm/Disarm, Arm Only, Door Strike, Log
Only, Arm/Disarm/OTU, Arm Only OTU and Door Strike
OTU.
[3] Edit Code Name - This section is for editing the
access code name. If a PC4400 RS-232 module is
enrolled on the system, the access code name is
printed out when the code is used to arm and disarm.
Also, the access code name helps keep track of which
access code belongs to who when programming
codes. See ‘Custom Zone ID’ in the programming
manual for letter entry and options menu.
[4] Edit Part. Mask - Only System Master codes can
program the Partition Mask for access codes.
The Partition Mask is used to enable a code to work on
more than one partition, so that the access codes do
not have to be repeated if you want them to work on
more than one partition. For example, if an arm, disarm
or bypass access code is programmed under partition
2, and set in the partition mask to work on partitions 1,
2 and 3, the code can be entered on any keypad
belonging to partitions 1, 2 or 3. Whichever partition
the code is entered, will be armed or disarmed.
Access codes cannot be used to arm and disarm other
partitions from one keypad, like System Master codes.
DO NOT SELECT THIS SECTION WHEN
PROGRAMMING SYSTEM MASTER CODES.
It is not necessary to program the partition mask for the
partition that the access code has been programmed in.
For example, if the code has been programmed in
partition 4, and it is not going to have access to any other
partition, none of the partition mask settings need to be
programmed including partition 4. The only place it will
make a difference is viewing partitions in the [
✱
][6] User
Function Commands. The user can only view the status of
partitions that their codes have been enabled for.
[5] (#) To Exit - select this option to exit this menu, or
press the # key to exit this menu.
5 To exit the code programming mode press [#].
