4. PROGRAMMING 
4.1 INTRODUCTION 
Your system is equipped with a partitioning feature (in a 
PowerMax Pro Partition system) that can divide your alarm 
system into three distinct areas identified as Partition 1 
through 3. Partitioning can be used in installations where 
shared security systems are more practical, such as a 
home office or warehouse building. When partitioned, each 
zone, each user code and many of your system's features 
can be assigned to Partition 1 to 3. 
Note: When partition is disabled, all zones, user codes, and 
features of the PowerMax Pro will operate as in a regular 
unit. When partition is enabled, all zones, user codes, and 
features of the PowerMax Pro are automatically assigned to 
Partition 1. 
4.1.1 General Guidance 
We recommend to program the PowerMax Pro on the work 
bench before actual installation. Operating power may be 
obtained from the backup battery or from the AC power supply. 
The installer’s menu is accessible only to those who know 
the installer’s 4-digit code, which is 9999 by factory default.  
Note: Access to the installer menu, in PowerMax Pro that 
has "User Permission" enabled (for example in UK) is 
accessible only at the end of the user menu. This option 
can be changed if necessary (see par. 4.4.36). 
For PowerMax Pro that has 2 installer codes, the default 
MASTER INSTALLER code is 9999  and the default 
INSTALLER code is 8888.  
The following actions can be done only by using the 
master installer code: 
•  Changing master installer code. 
•  Resetting the PowerMax Pro parameters to the default 
parameters, 
• Defining specific communication parameters, as 
detailed in a note in Figure 4.5. 
Obviously, you are expected to use this code only once for 
gaining initial access, and replace it with a secret code 
known only to yourself. 
You will mainly use 5 control pushbuttons during the entire 
programming process: 
 
- to move one step forward in a menu. 
      - to move one step backward in a menu. 
 
-
 to enter the relevant menu or confirm data. 
      - to move one level up in a menu. 
      - to return to the "OK TO EXIT" state. 
The sounds you will hear while programming are: 
    - Single beep, heard whenever a key is pressed. 
  - Double beep, indicates automatic return to the 
    normal operating mode (by timeout). 
 
☺
 - Happy Melody (- - - –––), indicates successful 
    completion of an operation. 
 
   - Sad Melody (–––––), indicates a wrong move 
    or rejection.  
4.1.2 Entering an Invalid Installer Code 
If you enter an invalid installer code 5 times, the keypad 
will be automatically disabled for a pre-defined period of 
time and the message WRONG PASSWORD will be 
displayed. 
4.1.3 Installer’s Menu 
The installer's menu is shown in Figure 4.1a. The text in 
rectangles represents the current PowerMax Pro display. 
4.1.4 Setting a New Installer Code 
To set an installer code, perform the actions that are 
presented in Figure 4.1b. When you are instructed to enter 
code, enter a 4-digit code. 
4.1.5 Setting a New Installer Code in 
PowerMax Pro that has 2 Installer 
Codes 
For PowerMax Pro with 2 installer codes, MASTER 
INSTALLER code (default 9999) and INSTALLER code 
(default 8888), set new codes as shown in figure 4.1c. 
For details regarding the different authorization levels 
when logging in with installer code and master installer 
code, refer to the note inside Figure 4.5 (DEFINE COMM). 
By using the master installer code, the menu enables 
changing both master installer code and installer code. By 
using the installer code, the menu enables changing the 
installer code only.
