Saving Changes
When you make changes to the Installer Menu the
control unit holds those changes in temporary
memory until you leave the Installer Menu. As you
leave the Installer Menu the control unit writes
those changes into a permanent store. If you
remove all power BEFORE you leave the Installer
Menu then the control unit will lose your changes.
Note that this does not apply if you restore
Factory Defaults, that change takes place
immediately.
Re-Entering the Installer Menu
When you enter the Installer Menu from a keypad,
the alarm system is effectively disabled. While the
system is in Installer Menu:
Any other user trying to set the system from a
keypad will see the message “Installer on
Site”.
All HUDs (including radio HUDs), fire alarm
zones, 24 hour zones and tampers are
disabled.
Note that this also applies if you are using the web
browser interface from a PC. If you have logged
into the system from a PC then the alarm system
is inactive.
If you need to re-enter the Installer Menu:
1. Make sure the system is unset and showing
the standby screen (time and date).
2. Key in the Installer access code. At Security
Grade 2 the default Installer access code is
“7890”.
At Security Grade 3 the default Install access
code is
“567890”.
As you start to key in the code the display
shows:
When you key in the last digit of the Installer
access code the display shows:
Notes:
1. You will see this screen the first time you enter
the Installer menu on a new control unit, or if you
have restored Factory Defaults. You can disable
this feature by using the Installer menu option
System Options - User Access – User Code Required
.
2. If you set
User Code Required
to NO then the
control unit no longer complies with EN50131.
This option complies with BS8243 only if the user
has given written consent.
3. If you key in an access code incorrectly, the
display shows four “stars”. Key in the code again.
If you key in a total of four incorrect codes then
the system locks you out for 90 seconds.
3. Key in the default user code (see Note
below).
At Security Grade 2 the default user access
code is “1234”. At Security Grade 3 the code
is “123456”.

Defaulting Access Codes
If the User 1 and/or Installer codes are lost then
you must restore all user information to its factory
defaults. All prox tags, remotes and radio HUDs

Note: If you cannot enter Installer Menu then the
control unit will start a tamper alarm when you
open the control unit lid.
2. Remove mains power, then open the case
and disconnect the battery.
Note: This procedure will not work if the control
unit lid tamper remains closed.
3. Identify the Reset Codes pins on the main
PCB (see item 8 in Figure 3).
4. Short the Reset Codes pins together using a
screwdriver or jumper link. (Keep the short on
until step 6.)
5. Apply mains power.
The control unit loads the factory default
access codes:
Grade 2: User 1=1234, Installer=7890.
Grade 3: User 1=123456, Installer=567890
After a short pause the system starts a a
tamper alarm and the display shows the
words “Please wait...”. The red LEDs glow to
show an alert that the control unit lid is open.
6. Remove the short from the Reset Codes pins.
