6.1.2 Maid’s Code (Arm to Disarm Code)
This property 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.
6.1.3 Duress Code
This property denotes a user code as a special code to be used in the unique situation where an intruder
forces one to disarm the system "under duress".
When the [DURESS CODE] is entered, the Alarm Panel disarms normally - however a DURESS
REPORTING CODE is transmitted to the monitoring company to inform them that you have been forced
to disarm the Alarm Panel by an intruder.
It is advisable to choose a code that can easily be remembered by all family (or staff) members.
6.2 Installer Code
The Installer Code (location 197) is used by the installer to program and configure the Alarm Panel. It has
full access to all installer mode menus as listed in this manual.
6.3 Maintenance Code
The Maintenance Code (location 199) acts in a similar way to the Installer Code, but it has limited access
to installer menus. The default Maintenance Code is 8888, or 888888 for a 6-digit code. This code is used
to access the following locations:
Locations 17 – 18 : Siren Time and Delay
Locations 20 – 22 : Keypad Lockout and Sleep
Locations 25 – 31 : Daylight Savings
Locations 171 – 173 : No Movement, Auto Arm
Locations 174 – 176 : No Movement, Medical Alarm
Locations 180 – 190 : Auto Arm Times
The assignment of this property to a user allows the relevant user to perform certain “maintenance” tasks
that would ordinarily require the use of the installer code.
6.4 Download Code
The Download Code, location 198, (in conjunction with the Installer Code) is required for download
access via the IDS Download Software. The default Download Code is 9999 or 999999 for a 6-digit code.
NOTE:
It is possible to program location 34 to either allow or disallow defaulting of the Download Code.
