Protege™ Integrated System User Manual
5.0 USER CODES
User Codes are personal identification numbers that allow you to
enter certain programming modes, arm or disarm your Protégé
system as well as activate or deactivate automation functions. The
Protégé system supports multiple master codes and over two
thousand user codes.
5.1 MASTER CODE
The master code can perform all functions within the protégé system
and is used to program and configure all user functions. The default
master is followed by the enter key.
5.2 DURESS CODE
If you are forced to arm or disarm your system, entering the user
code assigned with the duress code option will arm or disarm the
system and immediately transmit a silent message (Duress Code) to
the security monitoring station.
Duress Codes MUST be programmed by your security
professional or installation company who will provide
you with the operating instructions. Please refer to
the System Configuration Section on Page 88.
5.3 PROGRAMMING USER CODES
Your Protégé system uses one to eight digit user codes, where each
digit can be any value from 0 to 9. Avoid programming simple or
obvious user codes, such as part of your telephone number or
address and codes such as 1234, 1111 or 1212.
