Working with multi-area systems
New or defaulted Challenger panels can arm and disarm areas 1 to 99. This
functionality is accomplished via Area Group 1, which contains all areas. Area
Group 1 is used in the following Alarm Groups:
• Alarm Group 2–Master RAS or Door
• Alarm Group 3–Master Code (Installer)
• Alarm Group 11–High Level User Master
• Alarm Group 12–Low Level User Master
• Alarm Group 13–All Area User Code
The default installer user 50 (PIN 4346) is assigned Alarm Group 3, which
controls the areas contained in Area Group 1. Alarm Group 3 cannot be edited,
but Area Group 1 can have areas removed.
Note:
If the Challenger panel does not need all areas, we recommend removing
unneeded areas from Area Group 1.
Default installer PIN
Changing the default installer PIN
The default panel programming includes PIN 4346 for user 50. The default PIN
must be changed to keep unauthorised persons from modifying your
programming or using the system without authorisation.
To change the default installer PIN:
1. From the User menu prompt, press [2] [5] [ENTER] to change PIN for the
master user.
2. Enter the old code.
3. Enter the new code.
4. Re-Enter the new code.
5. Press Enter
Note:
Unlike
previous versions of Challenger panels, you can’t actually delete
user 50 from the panel (however, user 50 can be deleted from management
software and from 4-Door or 4-
Lift Controllers). When you ‘delete’ user 50 from
the panel, the user record is voided and not deleted. Doing so can create a user
tally that differs between the panel and management software or 4-Door or 4-Lift
Controllers.
Restoring the default installer PIN
If the installer PIN for user 50 has been changed and lost, you may need to reset
the PIN to default (4346). This is easily accomplished via management software.
However, if necessary, it can be done from the Challenger panel PCB.
Note:
This also defaults area group 1 back to areas 1 to 99, and defaults RAS 1
on LAN 1.
