34 Challenger Series Installation and Quick Programming Manual
Default installer PIN
Changing the default installer PIN
The default panel programming includes PIN 4346 for user 50. The default PIN
must be changed to keep unauthorised persons from modifying your
programming or using the system without authorisation.
Note: Unlike previous versions of Challenger panels, you can’t actually delete
user 50 from the panel (however, user 50 can be deleted from management
software and from 4-Door or 4-Lift Controllers). When you ‘delete’ user 50 from
the panel, the user record is voided and not deleted. Doing so can create a user
tally that differs between the panel and management software or 4-Door or 4-Lift
Controllers.
Restoring the default installer PIN
If the installer PIN for user 50 has been changed and lost, you may need to reset
the PIN to default (4346). This is easily accomplished via management software.
However, if necessary, it can be done from the Challenger panel PCB.
Note: This also defaults area group 1 back to areas 1 to 99, and defaults RAS 1
on LAN 1.
To restore the default installer PIN:
1. Access the Challenger panel PCB.
2. Fit test link 1 (Figure 7 on page 15, item 22 or Figure 9 on page 18, item 20)
momentarily, and then remove the link.
Enabling communications
Although basic programming and administration of the Challenger system can be
done via a LCD RAS on the RS-485 LAN, most systems use management
software such as Titan, Security Commander, or Forcefield after installation. The
Challenger panel may communicate with a management software computer by
an alternative path to provide backup reporting of alarms.
This section describes the RAS programming required to prepare for
communications between the Challenger panel and a Titan management
software computer. Refer to the documentation provided with the management
software for additional details, if required.
A new or defaulted Challenger panel is configured by default to communicate via
USB connection to a management software computer.
WARNING: Configuring IP communications requires consultation with the client’s
Network Administrator. Failure to gain the essential information from the client
may result in the Challenger panel not communicating with the IP Receiver,
management software, or introducing data collisions with parts of the client’s
existing IP network and possibly a total network shutdown.
