Access Codes
The system requires a valid access code before it will process most commands.
The Appendix A User Sheets provide a location for you to record the System
Master and User codes.
System Master Code
There is one System Master code. The System Master code is used to enter the
programming menus for your system. The default System Master code is 1234. It
is important that you change the default code and record the new code in the
Appendix A User Sheets.
To change the System Master Code:
1. Enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + the current System Master
Code.
2. Press 110.
3. Enter the desired 4-digit System Master Code, then press #.
4. Press * + 4 + # to exit the programming menus.
Regular User Codes
There are 16 Regular User codes which act like keys to arm and disarm the
system. If necessary, they can be assigned to neighbors, baby-sitters, or repair
persons for temporary use. Regular user codes can be changed in the
programming menus and are easily deleted from the system when no longer
necessary.
Good User Code Hygiene
To preserve the integrity of your system, keep user codes confidential and delete
extra codes as soon as they are no longer needed.
We recommend that you avoid using obvious code patterns such as 1234 or
1111, 2222, etc.
Using the Programming Menus
Some system settings can be changed by you, the user, while other settings
must be changed by the installer.
To change system settings, you’ll use the System Master code to enter a series
of programming menus. Appendix C gives a detailed explanation of how to use
the menus or, if desired, how to use programming shortcuts.
