User Codes

There are three characteristics associated with each user code that define its capabilities within the system.

CHARACTERISTIC

EXAMPLE

User Number

22

User Code

3848

Authority Level

Master

User Number

Each user is numbered from 1 to 30 in an XT30 or 1 to 99 in an XT50 panel. This number identifies them to the system and can be transmitted to the central station when they arm or disarm the system.

User Code

Users also have a 4-digit user code they enter into the keypad when arming or disarming. This user code is kept secret from other users and is not transmitted to the central station when they arm or disarm. Users enter only their own user code when operating the system.

User Names

Each code may also be programmed with the user name. You may enter up to 16 characters for the name. The user is also assigned a level of authority (Master, Standard, Limited, or Scheduled) by the person administrating the system to determine the functions the user can access. The XT30 allows Master and Standard users while the XT50 allows all levels of authority.

The Scheduled authority level only functions during a valid schedule, except for arming which can be done at any time. Disarming is allowed outside of a schedule, but an UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY message is sent to the central station. All other authority levels function regardless of schedules.

The table below lists system functions users are allowed to access based on the authority level assigned to their codes at the time they are added to the system.
