3.3 Setting Installer Codes
The PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 system provides two installer permission levels with separate installer
codes, as follows:
• Master Installer: The "Master Installer" is authorized to access all Installer Menu and sub-menu options.
The default code is: 9999 (*).
• Installer: The "Installer" is authorized to access most but not all Installer Menu and sub-menu options. The
default code is 8888 (*).
• Guard Code: Enables an authorized guard to only Arm Away / Disarm the control panel. The default code is
0000 (*).
The following actions can be performed only by using the Master Installer code:
• Changing the Master Installer code.
• Defining specific communication parameters - see in sections 3.6.1 and 3.6.4.
• Resetting the PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 parameters to the default parameters – see
in section 3.11.
Note: Not every system includes a Master Installer code feature. In such systems, the Installer can access all
Installer Menu and sub-menu options the same as a Master Installer.
(*) You are expected to use the default codes only once for gaining initial access, and replace it with a secret
code known only to yourself.
To change your Master Installer or Installer Codes proceed as follows:
Step 1
– Setting Installer Codes
[1]
Enter the Installer Menu and select the "01:INSTALL CODES" option (see section 3.2).
[2] Select the "NEW MASTER CODE", "NEW INST. CODE" or "NEW GUARD CODE". Some panels may
have only the Installer Code and New Guard Code option.
[3]
Enter the new 4-digit Code at the position of the blinking cursor and then press .
Notes:
1. Code "0000" is not valid for Master Installer. It is recommended NOT to use it also for the Installer.
2. Warning! Always use different codes for the Master Installer, for the Installer and for the Users.
A. If the Master Installer Code is identical to the Installer code, the panel will not be able to recognize
the Master Installer. In such a case you must change the Installer code to a different code. This will
re-validate the Master Installer code.
B. If a User code is identical to the Master Installer or Installer codes, the system will no longer be
able to recognize the Installer code. In such a case, you must enter the "User Settings" menu and
change the User code to a different code. This will re-validate the Installer code.
