A Duress-Disarming code is a common code to be used if needed by all system users – for
the purpose of disarming the system in an emergency situation only (typically when a user
is forced to disarm against their will). When activated, the monitoring station is notified, but
at the premises there are no visual or audible indications (no alarms will sound).
Both the installer and Grand Master have a role in defining the Duress-Disarming code:
1. Before performing the procedure below for the Grand Master, the installer must first
designate the duress "authority level" to one of the available user index numbers, and
then inform the Grand Master which user index number it is.
2. The Grand Master then defines the actual numerical code for that user index number (the
actual Duress Disarming code), and then notifies all system users of the code.
➢ To create or edit a numerical Duress-Disarming code:
1. If not known, find out from the installer which user index number was assigned the
"Duress" authority level, as well as the code length requirement.
2. Enter your Grand Master code, and then press OK.
3. Scroll to the Codes/Tags menu, and then press OK.
4. At Define press OK.
5. Scroll to the installer-provided user index number (user number) that had been defined
with the "Duress" authority level, and then press OK.
6. At Define, press OK.
7. At Edit Code, press OK.
8. Enter a unique code (cannot be the same as any existing user code) – with the same
length that was installer-set for the user codes, and then press OK; a single beep with
ACCEPTED displaying indicates a successful code designation, while 3 beeps with
REJECT CONFLICT displaying indicates an unsuccessful code designation.
9. If not defining a label, press Exit (see table in Keypad Buttons, page 12).
10. To define a label (such as "Duress"), scroll to Edit Label and press OK.
11. See the table below for instructions on editing a label. When finished, press OK, and
repeat the procedure for defining additional user codes.
