First Alert FA134OC-UL Home Security System User Manual


 
SECURITY CODES & AUTHORITY LEVELS
General
Information
Duress Code
Quick Arming
At the time of installation, you were assigned an authority level and a personal fourdigit
security code, known only to you and yours. The security code must be entered when
arming and disarming the system. The authority level defines the system functions that
you can perform.
As an additional safety feature, other users that do not have a need to know your code
can be assigned different security codes, and each user can be given a different
authority level. Users are identified by ‘user numbers’, which are assigned when
assigning a user’s security code.
All codes can be used interchangeably when perfom-ring system functions within the
limits of each code’s authority level (a system armed with one user’s code can be
disarmed by another user’s code), with the exception of the Operator Level C code.
See AUTHORITY LEVELS section on the following page for detailed information
regarding user authority levels,
This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under
threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the’central station
of your situation, if that service has been provided. The duress code is pre-assigned
by the installer during installation (authority level 6).
important: This code is useful only when the system is connected to a central station.
Note that if ‘Quick Arming” was programmed by the installer, the m key can be
pressed in place of the security code when arming the system. The security code must
always be used to disarm the system, however.
