Kidde ARIES

P/N 06-236530-001 3-97 August 2013
If alphanumeric passwords are necessary for a particular application, it is
recommended that the Level One password be numeric and the Level Two
password be alphanumeric so as to allow the user to retrieve system
information (system information lists) and also to prevent a user from
changing any programmed system parameters.
The ARIES System provides protection from unauthorized entry to the
system menus by utilizing two levels of default passwords–Level One and
Level Two. This feature provides two separate passwords which increases
the security of the system. Default passwords are set when the system is
shipped from KIDDE. Table 3-6 lists the default passwords.
Passwords can be changed following installation. Each password can be up
to eight alphanumeric characters in length. Use the menu to select the
“Set Programming Password” option to change the default numeric
passwords.
3-2.5.3 TROUBLE STATE
The ARIES enters the Trouble State when an event occurs such as an open in a
supervised installation conductor or a Level-1 or -2 Pre-Alarm reported by a high-
sensitivity smoke detector (HSSD) communicating through the Intelligent Interface
Module (IIM).
The upper line of the LCD display shows the trouble event by the device or circuit
address, the type of trouble event and its state change, and the device or circuit
type. The lower line indicates the up-to-40-character message assigned to the
device or circuit using the ARIES configuration program.

Password Level Description
1 Level 1 passwords permit the owner to isolate devices and circuits, view events and
system configuration, set certain parameters such as the time and date, and run low-
level tests such as a battery-voltage check.
2 Level 2 passwords permit the installer to access to all of the options available to the
owner, plus many more options that include changes to device configuration such as
smoke-detector sensitivity settings and expanded testing capabilities such as alarm-
simulation testing.
