User Codes & Levels Of
Authority (cont.)
Open/Close Reporting
Note: When adding a user,
the system will only prompt for
Open/Close report capability if
the user is being added by the
Installer. When a Master or
Manager adds a new user, the
new user's Open/Close report-
ing enable will be the same as
that of the Master or Manager
adding the user. If Open/Close
reports are required to be
selectable by the Master or
Manager, the Installer should
assign two Master or Manager
u s e r c o d e s : o n e w i t h
Open/Close reporting enabled,
and one without Open/Close
reporting.
Manager (Level 2) ¥ Can perform all system functions (Arm, Disarm, Bypass,
etc.) programmed by Master.
¥ May create other users of the system below this level
(Manager cannot assign anybody a level of 0, 1, or 2).
¥ May change his own code.
¥ May add, delete, change operators.
¥ Open/close reporting of added users will be same as his
own (enabled/disabled as set by installer or master).
¥ May operate a partition.
Operator ¥ Operators can arm and disarm the system to the authority
(Levels 3-5) assigned, but cannot add or modify any user code.
¥ May operate a partition with one of the three
OPERATOR authority levels A through C listed below.
L e v e l
Title Functions Permitted
3 Operator A Arm, Disarm, Bypass
4 Operator B Arm, Disarm
5 Operator C Arm, Disarm only if armed with
same code
¥ Operator C (sometimes known as Baby-sitter code),
cannot disarm the system unless the system was armed
with that code. This code is usually assigned to persons
who may have the need to arm and disarm the system at
specific times only (ex. a baby-sitter needs to control the
system only when baby-sitting).
Duress (Level 6) ¥ The duress code is a means of sending a silent alarm to a
central monitoring station if the user is being forced to
disarm (or arm) the system under threat. This feature is
only useful if the system is connected to a central station.
¥ When the system's Auxiliary Voltage Triggers are
connected to another communication's media (Derived
Channel/Long Range Radio), note that duress is
signaled on the same trigger that signals silent panic
(whereas duress has a unique report when digitally
communicated).
¥ The duress code is assigned on a partition by partition
basis and can be any code desired.
¥ When used, the system will disarm (or arm), but will also
send a silent alarm to the central station (if service is
connected). There will be no indication at the keypad
that an alarm was sent.
¥ Duress Reporting Note: The Duress report triggering
logic activates on the 5th key depression (ex. OFF) , not
the 4th key depression (last digit of code) . Duress reports
will not be triggered if the 5th key is a [*], such as when
performing a GOTO or viewing capabilities of users.
General Rules on Authority Levels and changes
The following rules apply to users when making modifications within the system
based on the user code authority levels:
¥ Master Codes and all lower level codes can be used interchangeably when
performing system functions within a partition (a system armed with a user's
temporary code can be disarmed with the Master Code or another user's
temporary code), except the Operator Level C Code described above.
¥ A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME or HIGHER
authority than which he is assigned.
¥ A user (levels 0, 1 & 2 only) may only ADD users to a LOWER authority level.
¥ A user may assign other users access to only those partitions to which he
himself has access.
