How to change your PIN code
The following terms: Password, PIN, Usercode and Access
code mean the same and are used interchangeably.
A Customer user PIN code (password) is normally set up by
the servicing organisation during commissioning of the
fi
re
alarm system. The customer PIN code is set up for the end
user. The person responsible for the
fi
re alarm system should
be aware of this PIN code. For security the PIN should be
changed on a regular basis.
A previously created PIN can be changed:
a. Press the
MENU ON/OFF
button.
b. Press the F4 button to select
[Test/Eng]
.
c. Press the F4 button to select
[UserCode
]. Use the keypad
to input your existing access code and then press the
Enter
button.
d. Press the F1 button to select
[NewPass]
. At the
fl
ashing
cursor using the keypad input the PIN code and press the
Enter
button. Notice ‘New access code set up’ appears on
the display.
Any changes made to the PIN code must
be backed-up to the panel memory. If this is
not done then the previous PIN is restored
on resetting the panel, see section on
‘
How to save changes to memory’
. It is not
necessary to backup the password at a
repeat panel.
