Security Codes and Authority Levels
You can assign different security codes for use by other users.
Rules for
Assigning
Codes
•
Only the System and Partition Masters can assign user codes to users and change user
partitions.
•
User code programming involves these steps:
1. Choose a user number from the set of users assigned to the partition in which the user
will be operating, and assign a 4-digit security code.
2. Assign an authority level to that user.
3. Assign other attributes as necessary.
NOTE:
The factory settings are designed to meet most normal user situations. Therefore,
the only step you usually need to do when adding users is to assign a user number (from
the partition’s pre-assigned user numbers) and a security code.
Authority Levels
(define the system functions a particular user can/cannot perform)
Level Title
Explanation
N/A
System Master
Reserved for user 02; Can perform all system functions and assign codes in
(default = 1234) all partitions; can change its own code as follows:
Master code + [8] + 02 + new master code + new master code again
0
Standard User:
Can only perform security functions in assigned partition. Cannot perform other
system functions.
1
Arm Only:
Can only arm the system. Cannot disarm or do other functions.
2
Guest:
Can arm the system in assigned partitions, but cannot disarm the system
unless
the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to someone
(e.g., babysitter or cleaner) who has a need to arm/disarm the system only at certain
times. The user of this code should
not
use the “Quick Arming” feature.
3
Duress Code:
Intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under threat.
When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the Central
Monitoring Station of your situation, if that service has been provided.
4
Partition Master Can do everything a standard user can do, and can assign user codes to users in
their partition and can change its own code as follows:
Partition master code + [8] + user new master code + new master
code again.
