User identification
All users of the Advisor Advanced system need a PIN and/or a card that is set up
in a user account. A PIN is unique code and has between 4 and 10 digits. It is a
combination of numbers between 0 and 9.
PINs and/or card details are part of the setup of a user account. The user
account is set up to allow users to perform specific tasks, such as set or unset
the system. These task or options are defined in user groups.
Predefined users
There are two predefined users in the system:
• Installer is used to enter the Advisor Advanced system configuration. It has
user group “Installer group” assigned.
• Supervisor is used to grant access for a service engineer. It has user group
“Supervisor group” assigned. The default PIN is 1122.
Note: If the PIN length is configured for more than four digits, zeroes are added
to the default PIN values. For example, if the system is configured for a six-digit
PIN, the supervisor PIN is 112200.
User groups
A user group allows users to control the Advisor Advanced system alarm options
(also called alarm
control). This provides flexibility when determining a user’s
access to, and control of, the system.
A user can have more than one user group assigned. In this case, if any of those
groups grants permission to a particular option, the user has this permission.
For example: A user has two user groups assigned: “R&D” and “Managers”. If
“Managers” user group allows inhibiting but the “R&D” group does not, the user is
able to inhibit a zone.
Note: The system always includes an installer group. This group can be
assigned to only one user, the default installer user.
Using a PIN and/or a badge
When you enter your PIN on the Advisor Advanced keypad, each key pressed is
indicated by * on the display.
If you enter the wrong PIN, or present a card with a PIN that is not valid at the
particular keypad, the keypad beeps quickly seven times. Correct a wrong code
by pressing Clear and enter the correct code. If you access a menu and do not
press any key for three minutes, the system time out function automatically exits
from the menu. It is good practice to exit the menu using the Clear button rather
than using this time out facility. If someone else uses the menu before it times
out, the option used is logged against your user account.
