Entering the Installer menu
Entering the Installer menu allows you to configure the system using the options provided.
While you are logged in:
The system will not generate alarms. You are, for example, able to open the lid of
the control unit without generating an alarm. All Hold-Up Alarms (HUAs), fire-alarm
zones, 24-hour zones and tampers are disabled.
Any other user trying to set the system from a keypad or access the user menu will
see the message “Installer on Site”.
Entering the Installer menu from a keypad

You may prompted to enter a user code (default 1234):
This is displayed if you have not used the Installer menu with the previous 30

disable this feature using
System Options

or
to select
that option. Continue this process until you have reached the sub-option you require.
Saving changes
Changes are saved only when you leave the Installer menu. If you remove all power
before leaving the Installer menu, changes will not be saved. Note that this does not apply
if you restore factory defaults; that change takes place immediately.
Code lockouts
If you (or any user) enter your code incorrectly or present an unrecognised proximity tag,
the keypad shows the time and date again, gives an error tone and you can try again.
If there are four consecutive incorrect access codes or proximity tags, the system starts a
tamper alarm and locks all users out of all keypads for 90 seconds. This event is recorded
in the log as “Excess Keys Tamper”.
Once the lock-out time has expired, you can try again. If the next attempt is also invalid,
system locks all keypads for another 90 seconds, but will not start another tamper alarm.
An “Excess Keys Tamper” can also occur while attempting to gain access from the web
interface.
