SYSTEM SECURITY CODES
The systems provides one Installer code, one System Master code, plus a set of other user codes intended for other users of
the system. These codes can each be assigned one of 5 authority levels, which determine the functions each code can
perform as listed in the table below.
VISTA-20P: Provides 48 security codes (plus Installer code), including one System Master code, two Partition Master
codes, and 45 general user codes.
VISTA-15P: Provides 32 security codes (plus Installer code), including one System Master code and 31 general user codes.

Refer to the user guide for detailed procedures on adding/deleting security codes and changing user attributes.
The following is a brief description of how to add user codes.
Changing the System Master code...
Using Installer code: Installer code + [8] + 02 + new code
Using current System Master code: System Master code + [8] + 02 + new code + new code again
Adding a User Code:
Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + user
’
s code
Deleting a User Code:
Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + [#] [0]
Assigning Attributes:
Master code + [8] + 2-digit user no. + [#] [attribute no.] + value
Attributes:
