PRT-KLCD Protege Alphanumeric LCD Keypad User Manual | April 2011 31
5 User Codes
User Codes are personal identification numbers that allow you to enter certain programming modes, arm or
disarm your Protege system as well as activate or deactivate automation functions. The Protege system
supports multiple master codes and over two thousand user codes.
5.1 Master Code
The master code can perform all functions within the Protege system and is used to program and configure all
user functions. The default master is [123456] followed by the [ENTER] key.
5.2 Duress Code
If you are forced to arm or disarm your system, entering the user code assigned with the duress code option will
arm or disarm the system and immediately transmit a silent message (Duress Code) to the security monitoring
station.
Duress Codes MUST be programmed by your security professional or installation company who will
provide you with the operating instructions. .
5.3 Programming User Codes
Your Protege system uses one to eight digit user codes, where each digit can be any value from 0 to 9. Avoid
programming simple or obvious user codes, such as part of your telephone number or address and codes such
as 1234, 1111 or 1212.
Programming User Codes
Enter your [USER CODE] to logon to the keypad.
In the example user configuration user number UN00010 is being edited. Modifying the master code or
other codes within the system is not advised as this may prevent access to the LCD Keypad if the
master code is deleted or modified from the default settings in error.
