1.4 Programmer Lockout Codes
Although the XTL/XTLC panel allows access to Programming without a lockout code, it is available to
program one to restrict programming access to authorized individuals only. You can do this by using SET
LOCKOUT CODE at the end of the programming menu.
Installing a lockout code
1. After entering the Programmer menu, the keypad displays PROGRAMMER. Press the COMMAND key
until SET LOCKOUT CODE is displayed (after STOP).
2. Press any Select key. At the ENTER CODE: - display, enter a 1- to 5-digit programmer lockout code.
Press COMMAND.
3. The display shows ENTER AGAIN. Enter the same lockout code again and press COMMAND. The
display shows CODE CHANGED. The new code number must now be entered before the Programmer
menu can be accessed.
The lockout code should be written down and kept in a secure place with access limited to authorized
persons only.
Lost Lockout Code requires factory reset: If you lose or forget the lockout code, the panel must be sent
back to the factory to be reset. There is no eld option for gaining access to the panel without a valid
lockout code.
1.5 Reset Timeout
The XTL/XTLC has a feature that requires you to enter the Programmer within 30 minutes of resetting
the panel. After 30 minutes, if you attempt to program by entering the 6653 (PROG) code, the keypad
displays: RESET PANEL. You must reset the panel and enter the program code within the next 30 minutes.
If you are already in the Programmer and do not press any keys on the programming keypad for 30
minutes, the panel terminates programming. All data entered up to that point is saved in the panel’s
memory.
To exit the panel’s Programmer you must use the Stop function. The STOP option is the second to the last
option in programming. The programming session is then terminated and the keypad returns to the Status
List.
