Code Changes

Access Codes
Access codes are used to arm and disarm the system. There are 32 access codes available: 1 master code, 32
regular access codes, 2 duress codes and 2 partition master codes. Ask your installer for more information on
using the duress and partition master codes.
Only the Master Code can be used to program additional security codes and to change other system fea-
tures as well as to arm and disarm the security system. The Master Code will be supplied to you by your
installer. All keypad entries are made by pressing one key at a time.
NOTE: An access code can be a four or six digit number depending on how your installer has programmed
your system. Ask your installer for more information regarding access codes.
Programming Security Codes
Programming codes from an LED or LCD5501Z Keypad:
The Master Code
To program the Master Code, enter [*][5][current Master Code][40][new Master Code]. The Master Code must
