About Security Codes
Your installer assigned a master code that is used to perform all system functions.
In addition, you can assign up to 15 different security codes for use by other users.
• Only the System Master can assign security codes to users.
• Users are identified by 2-digit user numbers (03-17 [users 01 and 02 are reserved]).
• In addition to a security code, each user is assigned various system attributes.
• Security codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions (a system
armed with one user's code can be disarmed by another user's code), with the exception of
the Guest code and Arm Only code described below.
• Security code programming involves these steps:
1. Choose a user number and assign a 4-digit security code.
2. Assign an authority level to that user.
3. Assign other attributes as necessary (see attributes on the next page).
NOTE: The factory settings are designed to meet most normal user situations. Therefore,
the only step you usually need to do when adding users is assign a user number and a
security code.

Authority Level Definitions
Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can/cannot perform.
Level Title Explanation
N/A System Master Reserved for user 02; Can perform all system functions and assign codes; can
change its own code as described on the following page.
The default System Master code is 1234.
0 Standard User Can only perform security functions. Cannot perform system functions
reserved for the master user.
1 Arm Only Can only arm the system. Cannot disarm or do other functions.
2 Guest Can arm the system, but cannot disarm the system unless the system was
armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to someone (e.g.,
babysitter or cleaner) who has a need to arm/disarm the system only at certain
times. The user of this code should not use the “Quick Arming” feature.
3 Duress Code 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 Monitoring Station of your situation, if that service has been provided.
