Levels 3-5: Operator Codes
• Can operate a partition, but cannot add or modify any user code (see table below).
Arm, Disarm, Bypass Burg Zones
Arm, Disarm only if armed with same code
• Operator C (sometimes known as the Babysitter Code) cannot disarm the system unless the system was armed with
that code. This code is usually assigned to persons who may need to arm and disarm the system at specific times
only (e.g., a babysitter needs to control the system only when babysitting).
Level 6: Duress Codes
• Sends a silent alarm to a central monitoring station if the user is being forced to disarm (or arm) the system under
threat (system must be connected to a central station).
• Assigned on a partition-by-partition basis, and can be any code or codes desired.
Duress Reporting NOTE: A non-zero report code for zone 992 (duress) must be programmed, and partition-
field
∗
85 duress location enabled, to enable Duress reporting.
• The Duress report-triggering logic activates on the 5
th
key depression (such as OFF), not the 4
th
key depression (last
digit of code). Duress reports are not triggered if the 5
th
key is a [

], such as when you perform a GOTO or view the
capabilities of a user.
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 that which he is assigned.
• A user (levels 0, 1 and 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.
• A user code can be DELETED or CHANGED only from within the partition it was created in.
• User numbers must be entered in 3 digits. Single-digit user numbers must, therefore, always be preceded by a “00” (e.g., 003, 004, 005,
etc.). Make sure the end user understands this requirement. Temporary codes are entered as 4-digit numbers.
Open/Close Reporting Note: When a user is added, the system prompts for Open/Close reporting capability only if the
installer is adding the new user. When a Master or Manager adds a new user, the new user’s Open/Close reporting is
the same as that of the Master or Manager who is 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 user codes: one with Open/Close reporting
enabled, and one without.
Note that Open/Close reporting of Quick Arm is enabled if User 002 is enabled for Open/Close reporting, and that Quick
Arm reports as User 000. In order for Quick Arm reports to be sent for all partitions, User 002 must have authority and
Open/Close must be enabled for all partitions. If a code with access to all partitions is not desired, it is suggested that
user 002 be assigned authority level 5 in all partitions, and that the code be kept secret. Authority level 5 cannot disarm
the system unless armed by that user.
ADEMCO Contact ID format is capable of reporting Users 001-150 uniquely. If any other report format is used,
only user numbers 001 – 015 can uniquely report to the central station. Users 016 – 150 will report as User 015.
Multiple Partition Access
Each user is programmed for a primary (home) partition. A user can also be given access to operate one or more
additional partitions. Within each partition, each user may be programmed to have different levels of authority. For
example, User 003, the VP of Engineering, could be assigned to work within the Engineering Department (Partition 1) of
ABC Manufacturing. Because he needs the full capabilities in his area, he is assigned as a MASTER with Level 1
authority.
He must also be able to gain access to the manufacturing area (Partition 2) on an emergency basis. You can set this up
easily by requesting that he also be assigned to Partition 2, with a level of authority set lower, such as Level 4
(OPERATOR Level B).
