Users and Security Codes
Home > Security > Tools > Users
Lyric™ uses 4-digit codes to restrict certain functions to selected users. A special 4-digit code can be
set to trigger the system’s
Duress function.
User codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions (a system armed with
one user's code can be disarmed by another user's code), with the exception of the Guest Code
described below.
All users are automatically assigned a user number, which cannot be changed. Do not confuse these
user numbers with user
codes.
User Codes
Master User This code is usually set when the system is installed, and can be
changed later. Typically, the Master User is a household member
who can perform all system functions.
the Master User can add and remove users or modify their
settings. Settings include assigning security codes and user names.
the Master User can create
. Access to Smart
Scenes for other users is controlled by the Master User.
User Typical users are household members and other authorized persons
who can arm and disarm the security system, with controlled access
to other system features.
Guest Visitors and others who are authorized to arm/disarm the system
only at certain times or on a temporary basis.
The Guest’s user code can be used to
the system, but cannot
it unless the system was armed using the Guest code. The
Guest’s user number is
.
Duress Code
IMPORTANT
The Duress function requires connection to an alarm monitoring service.
Household members and authorized visitors can enter this code if forced to disarm or arm the
system under threat. When the Duress code is entered, Lyric Controllers and keypads appear to
behave normally, but the system silently notifies your alarm monitoring service. The Duress
Code’s user number is
48.
NOTES • A security code cannot be assigned more than once. If an existing code is entered,
the system displays the warning
User code not accepted! If this occurs, press OK to
return to user settings and assign a different code.
• The system should be disarmed before you work with user codes.
• Limited-access users such as guests and cleaning staff should not be instructed on
system functions other than those they will be using.
• The number of user codes supported by a Z-Wave® door lock can vary between
manufacturers. To ensure compatibility with Lyric, set the length of the Master User
code on the door lock to be greater than four digits.
