Enrolling Primary and Secondary Codes
11.10.1
Primary Codes
Primary codes can only be enrolled to an empty user slot,
meaning a slot where there is no existing Primary code.
Primary codes must be unique, meaning that one user's Primary
code cannot be the same as another user's Primary code.
Primary codes cannot be the same as any system codes, such as
the Normal/Secure code or Open code.
Users who hold a Primary code can gain entry only during Normal
mode.
11.10.2
Secondary Codes
Secondary codes can only be enrolled to a user slot that already
has a Primary code enrolled, but no Secondary code.
Secondary codes do not have to be unique, meaning that
multiple users can all hold the same Secondary code.
Secondary codes cannot be the same as any system codes, such
as the Normal/Secure code or Open code.
Users who hold Secondary codes can gain entry in any mode of
operation.
11.10.3
Enrolling Primary and Secondary Codes
There are two methods to enroll Primary and Secondary codes:
Standard Method
Mainly used when the user slot number for the user that you
want to program is known. You can program both Primary and
Secondary codes using the Standard method (see Section
11.10.4).
Code Search Method
Mainly used when enrolling a user's Secondary code and the user
slot code is unknown. The Code Search method only works if a
user’s Primary code is already enrolled but the Secondary code is
not (see Section
11.10.5).
