used to create, modify or delete user access codes (see
page 25) that are assigned to Area 1.
Master Code 2 is permanently assigned to Area 2 (except
when partitioning is disabled, in which case Master Code 2
will be assigned to Area 1) and can be used to create, modify
or delete user access codes
that are assigned to the same
area (see Programming Access Codes on page 25).
Master codes cannot modify or delete user access codes
assigned to both areas. Only the System Master Code can
modify or delete user access codes assigned to both areas.
5.3 Duress Code
If you are forced to arm or disarm your system, entering the
access code assigned to User 048 will arm or disarm the
system and immediately transmit a silent alert (Duress Code)
to the monitoring station.
This option must be enabled by your installer.
5.4 Programming Access Codes
Your system can use either 4- or 6-digit access codes (see
Access Codes on page 32), where each digit can be any
value from 0 to 9. Six-digit codes are considered more
difficult to “crack” and therefore, more secure. Avoid
programming simple or obvious access codes, such as your
telephone number, address or codes such as 1234.
