Access codes
The access code determines which functions of the control panel a user can access. The types of access
code available are:
•
User code
. This code is enabled by the Master code and will remain valid until it is deactivated by the
Master code by a timer programmed control. The code is used by users for normal operations, such
as arming and disarming the system, displaying system status, reading event history and changing
the access code.
•
Master code
. This code is always enabled. It is univocal and is the only code authorised to enable
other users, keys, remote controls, timer programming and remote access. It can reset the other
access codes to default defaults.
•
Installer code
. The code is enabled by the Master code. It can be programmed to never be enabled,
to always be enabled, to be automatically disabled two hours after being enabled or to be automatically
disabled as soon as a valid user code is entered. This is to program the system and for maintenance.
This code is used by the installer. It can reset the other access codes to default defaults.
•
Technical Manager code
. The code is enabled by the Master. It can be programmed to never be
enabled, to always be enabled, to be automatically disabled two hours after being enabled or to be
automatically disabled as soon as a valid user code is entered. It can be used to access a limited
number of system configuration functions.
Each access code is freely programmable with a variable length from a minimum of 4 to a maximum of 6
digits. Each user can change their access code at will.
IMPORTANT!
Any access code shorter than six digits will cancel EN 50131 Grade 3 compliance of
the entire intrusion alarm system.
If there are no other limiting factors, 5 or 6 digit access codes allow EN 50131 Grade 2 compliance.
Four digit codes will cancel EN50131 compliance.
TIP
: All users, including the Master and Installer, should change their code before commissioning
the system.
The possible actions are shown on the keypad display after entering the access code.
If the hold-up function is enabled, a user code must also be assigned for this function. The code can be
freely set from a minimum of 4 to a maximum of 6 digits, it has no default value.
IMPORTANT!
Enabling the hold-up function invalidates compliance with EN50131 standards.
