54 NCA-2 Manual — P/N 52482:M5 03/20/2019
Section 5: Programming
5.1 Security Access
The NCA-2 has two password levels: master and user. There is one master password, which grants access to all system programming.
There are nine user passwords, each of which may be assigned access to the programming change menus, the alter status menus, or both.
A user password does not give access to or allow change to any password parameters, not even its own. Only the master password will
allow access to all password change screens.
The panel arrives with factory default settings of 00000000 for the master password, and 11111111 for one user password. These should
be changed immediately.
Follow the steps below to change the factory settings:
1. Press PROGRAM/ALTER STATUS at the Main Menu screen.
2. Using the keyboard, enter eight zeros (00000000) after ENTER PASSWORD.
3. Press the ACCEPT soft key.
4. Press the PANEL PROGRAM MENU soft key.
5. Press the PASSWORD CHANGE soft key.
6. Select MASTER PASSWORD to set the primary password, or select USER PASSWORD to set user permission levels. NOTE:
Only the master password can be used to create or change passwords.

Press the MASTER PASSWORD Soft Key and type in the new password that will replace the factory default password: there can be up
to eight alphanumeric characters. Press the enter key on the keyboard. RE-ENTER PASSWORD will appear. Retype the password for

5.1.2 User Password

Press the USER soft key to scroll through the nine user password numbers. When this key is pressed, the rest of the display will update

Press the MODE soft key to select the user’s level of access. Levels are as follows:
PROGRAM/ALTER STATUS Gives access to both the Program Change Menu and the Alter Status Menu.
ALTER STATUS Gives access to only the Alter Status Menu
NONE Gives no access. Use to deactivate an existing password.
Press the REFERENCE soft key to enter an alphanumeric label to identify the user (maximum 20 characters). This is used only as a ref-
erence and is not used by the NCA-2 for any functions.
Press ENTER and type in a new password at the prompt (up to 8 alphanumeric characters). Press ENTER again and re-type the password
at the RE-ENTER PASSWORD prompt for verification.
