User Codes
Each User Code comprises a PIN for identification purposes and a group of parameters which
determine its rank in the system code hierarchy and the operations the user is entitled to
perform.
The PIN is made up of 4, 5 or 6 digits that the user must enter in order to allow identification.
The PIN of user code n. 1 is “0001” at default. The PINs of the successive user codes are
“0002”, “0003”, etc. up to “0050” for the Prime060S and Prime060L control panel models and
“0100” for Prime120L and Prime240L.
Note
The PINs of user codes can be changed by the installer or by other hierarchically superior code.
The installer provides the system users with default user PINs which they must change immediately to
PIN codes of their choice.
Each user code has the following parameters, to be programmed by the installer or by other
user codes of hierarchically superior level.
•The Partitions the user code can control.
If a user code is entered at a keypad, the user can control only the partitions which are
common to both the code and keypad concerned. For example, if a code enabled on
partitions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 is entered at a keypad which enabled on partitions 4, 5, 6 and 7,
it will be able to operate on partitions 4 and 5 only.
•The type of user code.
Each code can be assigned a specific level in the system hierarchy:
-User
- Manager
-Master
• Each code, in accordance with its assigned level in the system-hierarchy (the “User” being
the lowest level), is capable of carrying out the following operations on all other codes that
are hierarchically inferior:
- enable/disable
- change PIN
- change several programming parameters
•The way of accessing the user menu.
Each User code can access its customized menu in 3 different ways (refer to paragraph 3-2
Methods of accessing the user menu).
•The commands over the phone.
This option enables access to the system via remote telephone. If this option is enabled,
the User can send commands to the control panel over-the-phone. Commands can be sent
during calls to/from the control panel. After entry of a valid PIN on the telephone keypad
the user can activate the required shortcut (refer to paragraph 4-2 Shortcut with code).
This method of entering commands will affect the code partitions only.
• Time restriction of code operability
If a code is associated with one of the timers, it will be able to operate the system only
when the timer is On.
• Group of outputs which can be activated/deactivated manually
After accessing the Outputs ON/OFF section (user menu) you can activate/deactivate the
duly programmed outputs.
•The menu sections the user has access to (refer to paragraph 3-2 Methods of accessing
the user menu, Mode A).
• Customized shortcuts.
Each code can be programmed to manage:
- up to 12 customized shortcuts assigned to keys , ...,
- up to 10 customized shortcuts assigned to keys , ...,
These shortcuts are available to the code user only after accessing the user menu.
