Menus and codes
FORCE
has two separate menus, User and Technician, with two matching Master codes. In
addition, there are up to 144 user codes (
FORCE Lite
: up to 64). The Master user code allows
setting all the user menus. Other user codes can be restricted by permissions.
The Master technician code allows entering the Technician menu. Monitoring stations’ menus
can have lock codes. Refer to the technician.
3.1.1
Code setting guidelines
Note the following, when setting codes:
All codes are made of 4-6 digits, except the Quick Arm (2-digit) code.
Codes cannot start with the digits of other defined code, including the Quick Arm 2-digit
code. For example, a 5-digit user code cannot start with the digits of a 4-digit user code.
Every code is unique. Do not use easy-to-guess codes, like 3333.
After saving a code, it can
not be revealed or restored in any way.
The codes 1234 and 5555 are reserved.
