Changing Your Own PIN 
The person who is logged in can change their 
PIN number at any time. 
Steps: 
1.  Enter your user ID 
and/or PIN to log 
into the keypad. 
2.  Press ► to scroll 
to the PIN option. 
3.  Select PIN to 
change your PIN. 
4.  Enter your new 4-
digit or 5-digit 
PIN. 
Hint: You can use the letters on the keypad to 'spell' 
a word as a reminder of your PIN. 
Re-enter the new PIN a second time when 
prompted for this (this helps to protect against 
typing errors). 
Note: The last two digits of the PIN can not be 
identical. Do not use consecutive numbers such as  
1234. For security reasons, duplicate PINs are not 
allowed on systems with a PIN only user code. If the 
message “PIN not allowed” appears, select a 
different PIN. 
The “PIN changed” 
screen displays and 
then returns to the 
system standby screen. 
Adding a User to the System 
New users can be added to the system as 
needed. 
User (Definition): A person who can use system 
keypads, and/or gain entry at access-controlled

Security keypads (allows viewing the user-to-suite 
assignments for your selected user number). Note:

through the MONITOR ISM Director software. 
Refer to the details that follow while working with 
any of the listed topics:

authority profile for the user. (Select Ok when

to perform at system keypads. Cannot be Undfnd. 
User authority profiles themselves are normally set 
up by your service technician (service PIN needed). 
System

Use the Next and Prev buttons to select an 
authority profile for the user. (Select Ok when 
finished).

"Master" authority).
