General Information
This system allows a total of 150 security access codes
to be allocated, each identified by a user ID number.
Regardless of the number of partitions each code
has access to, it occupies only one user slot in the
system. If a particular code is given access to
only some partitions, it’s user ID number cannot
be used again for a different code in the other
partitions.
The Quick Arm feature can also be programmed
(partition-specific program field *29). The Quick Arm
feature allows the user to arm the system by pressing
the [#] key instead of the security code. The security
code must always be entered to disarm the system.
User #2 must be programmed for the Quick
Arm feature to function.
In order to protect the system from attempts to
defeat the security access code by trying many
possible codes in sequence, the system has
code tampering protection. If someone enters
20 keystrokes at a keypad within a 15 minute
time period, all further keypad entries from
keypads in this partition will be ignored for the
15 minute time period. This protection will then
be repeated indefinitely.
User Codes & Levels of Authority
Each user of the system can be assigned a level of
authority, which tells the system what system functions
that user is authorized to do. A user can have different
levels of authority within different partitions.
Use the “View Capabilities” keypad function ( User
Code + [
✳
] + [
✳
]) to view the partitions and authority
levels for which a particular user is authorized. These
levels are described in the following table in order from
highest to lowest ranking.
Level 0: Installer (User 1) Code
•
Programmed in field *00 (default = 4-1-4-0).
Installer Open/Close reporting selected in field *39.
•
Can perform all system functions (arm, disarm,
bypass, etc.), but
cannot disarm if armed by
another code (or by Quick Arm).
•
Can add, delete, or change all other codes, and can
select Open/Close reports for any user.
•
Is the only code that can be used to enter program
mode. The Installer Code can be prevented from re-
entering the Program Mode by exiting using
∗
98.
•
Must program at least one Master Code during
initial installation. Master Codes are intended for
use by the primary user(s) of the system.
Level 1: Master Codes
•
Can perform all normal system functions.
•
Can be used to assign up to 148 lower-level codes,
which can be used by other users of the system.
•
Cannot assign anybody a level of 0 or 1.
•
May change his own code.
•
Can add, delete, or change Manager or Operator
Codes. Each user’s code can be individually
eliminated or changed at any time.
•
Open/Close reporting is automatically the same as
that of the Master who is adding the new user.
Level 2: Manager Codes
•
Can perform all system functions (arm, disarm,
bypass, etc.) programmed by Master.
•
May add, delete, or change other users of the
system below this level (Manager cannot assign
anybody a level of 0, 1, or 2).
•
May change his own code.
•
Open/Close reporting is automatically the same as
that of the Manager who is adding the new user.
Levels 3-5: Operator Codes
•
Can operate a partition, but cannot add or modify
any user code (see table below).
Level Title Functions Permitted
3 Operator A Arm, Disarm, Bypass
4 Operator B Arm, Disarm
5 Operator C Arm, Disarm only if armed with
same code
•
Operator C (sometimes known as the Babysitter
Code) cannot disarm the system
unless the system
was armed with that code. This code is usually
assigned to persons who may need to arm and
disarm the system at specific times only (e.g., a
babysitter needs to control the system only when
babysitting).
