4  Advisor Advanced ATSx500A User Guide 
Using your PIN and/or card to access the 
system 
You need a PIN and/or a card to use the Advisor Advanced system. A PIN is a 
unique number having between 4 and 10 digits. 
The manager of the security system has set up your user account with a PIN 
and/or card details. In addition, options have been assigned that allow you to 
perform specific tasks, such as set or unset the system. You can only access 
menu options that have been enabled for your user account. When you try to 
access an option that you are not authorised to access, you get the following 
error message: 
 
If you access the menu and do not press any key for three minutes, the system 
time out function automatically exits from the menu. It is good practice to exit the 
menu using the Clear button rather than using this time out facility. If someone 
else uses the menu before it times out, the option used is logged against your 
user account.
