Working with multi-area systems
New or defaulted Challenger panels can arm and disarm areas 1 to 99 (1 to 16
for ChallengerLE). This functionality is accomplished via Area Group 1, which
contains all areas. Area Group 1 is used in the following Alarm Groups:
• Alarm Group 2-Master RAS or Door
• Alarm Group 3-Master Code (Installer)
• Alarm Group 11-High Level User Master
• Alarm Group 12-Low Level User Master
• Alarm Group 13-All Area User Code
The default installer user 50 (PIN 4346) is assigned Alarm Group 3, which
controls the areas contained in Area Group 1. Alarm Group 3 cannot be edited,
but Area Group 1 can have areas removed.
Note: If the Challenger panel does not need all areas, we recommend removing
unneeded areas from Area Group 1.
