2.1 Introduction
For best operation during bench testing, all zones should be terminated with end of line resistors and the correct transformer
and battery should be connected to the unit. The control comes with factory default programming, allowing it to be bench
tested prior to installation. The factory default code for user 1 is 3456. This code is authorized to operate all user related
features of the system. The control is designed to accommodate the grouping of specific zones into partitions called areas
and by default, all zones are assigned to area #1. This is the most common mode in which the system operates. This section
of the manual gives an overview of powering up and basic keypad functioning.

2.2 Powering Up (One Keypad)
After all other connections have been made and checked thoroughly, the controls AC transformer and battery may be
connected. The Master Power Switch located on the lower left corner can then be turned on which will complete the AC and
battery connections into the control. Upon power up the control will perform self-diagnostics and auto-enroll the first keypad
(Keypad Address #1). Any additional keypads or expanders must be manually enrolled using Installer Level Programming.

See “Menu 01 - Bus Module Enrollment”.
NOTE: It is very important to make certain that every keypad, input expander, output expander, or any other data bus
device be assigned a unique data bus address within its type. See “MENU 01 - Bus Module Enrollment” for instructions
on setting keypad and expander addresses.

System Startup on Battery Only
Ordinarily, the control will not startup without AC power. However, if AC power is not available (new construction sites, field
testing, etc.) it is possible to start the control on battery ONLY! Locate the two silver pads on the lower left corner of the circuit
board. Take a small blade screwdriver and short these two pads. This will temporarily bypass the AC sensing circuit and
allow the control to startup. The On/Off power switch must be in the On position.

2.3 User Codes and Authorities
The control has 99 user passcodes plus one installer passcode. Each user code may be assigned specific authorities as to
what it is allowed to do. The authorities are assigned from the Installer level programming, however the code numbers and
user name is assigned from the keypad user menu 6 - Change User Codes. Only a Master authority level code or the
Installer code is allowed to access keypad user menu 6. The User’s Guide contains a description of panel
operations accessible to the user codes. Control operations accessed by the installer passcode are slightly different.

Installer code is allowed to access keypad user menu 6. The User’s Guide contains a description of panel
operations accessible to the user codes. Control operations accessed by the installer passcode are slightly different.
The Factory Default Code for User Code 1 is: 3 4 5 6 (Master Code)
(If the six digit code option is enabled, User Code 1 default will then be: 1 2 3 4 5 6)
The user code may be used for functions in a specific area or system-wide. Some options may be performed at any time,
even while the control is fully or partially armed. The menu system is designed to be next-step-oriented. After a brief
explanation of the options, the user should be able to begin operating the system immediately. For purposes of discussion,
the installer and the end consumer are both considered users, but have different capabilities.

2.4 Installer Program Code and Authorities
The installer code can access all the keypad user menus, including of course menu 9 - Installation Programming. The
Installer code also has limited arm/disarm privileges. It may be used to arm any area and may be used to disarm any area,
so long as that area was armed specifically by the installer code. The Installer code cannot disarm if an area was armed by
any user code. The Installer code may be used to silence 24hr alarms or a Burglary alarm in an area that was armed by the
installer or in an area that is not armed. The installer code may also be used to silence a trouble condition in a disarmed
area. See User’s Guide for a full description of arming and disarming procedures.
