SECURITY CODES
General At the time of installation, your installer programmed a personal four-digit Master code,
known only to you and yours. This code is used to perform most system functions,
including arming and disarming of the system. As an additional safety feature, temporary
User Codes can be assigned for use by those not having a need to know the Master
code.
Note that the Master code remains in effect even when other user codes are
assigned.
IMPORTANT! When performing any of the procedures that follow, do not
allow more than 2 seconds to elapse between steps, otherwise the entry
will be aborted, and the procedure must be repeated from its beginning.
To Assign, Change, or
Delete User Codes
It is recommended that
obvious codes such as
1-1-1-1 or 1-2-3-4 not be
assigned.
Temporary users should
not be shown how to use
any system function that
they do not need to know
(e.g., how to bypass pro-
tection zones).
The Master security code can be used to assign up to 4 secondary User codes. It can also
be used to change any User code or to remove (delete) any secondary User code from
the system.
To Assign or Change a User Code:
1. Enter your Master code and press the CODE [8] key.
2. Enter the single-digit User Number for whom a code is to be assigned or changed
(User Nos. 3 to 6 may be assigned.)
3. Enter the desired 4-digit code for use by that User Number. The keypad will beep
once when a User code has been successfully entered.
To Delete a User Code:
Perform steps 1 and 2 above and then stop. In a few moments, the keypad will beep
once, indicating that the existing code has been deleted.
Duress Code 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 may be any 4-digit code assigned to User Number 8.
