Explanation of User Code Properties
8.3.5.1 Master User
When assigned to a user, this property allows the user to act as a Master User.
8.3.5.2 Duress Code
This is a special 4 (default) or 6 digit user code (check the code length with your installer) and
should only be used in the unique situation where an intruder forces one to disarm the system

When the [DURESS CODE] is entered, the control panel disarms normally - however a DURESS
REPORTING CODE is transmitted to the monitoring company to inform them that you have been

It is advisable to choose a code that can be easily remembered by all family (or staff) members.
8.3.5.3 Maid's Code
This code may be used to limit access to the premises. A maid's code will only disarm the system if the
same code was used for arming. If armed with a code other than this code, the system will view an
attempt to disarm using a maid's code as an invalid entry. Any valid user code will disarm the system if it
has been armed with a maid‟s code.
