42 - Codes (cont'd)
5 = Temporary Codes
Temporary Codes allows a PIN to be temporarily allocated to a user. On selecting this option, enter the
number of days (0 – 99) that the code is to remain active. The default setting of 0 indicates that the code is
permanent. A temporary code expires and is removed from the codes list at midnight after the assigned
number of days. A code that has been assigned as a Temporary Code is indicated on the user code display
by a ^ between the user number and the user name, for example 001^USER.
NOTE: The manager, engineer, or remote codes cannot be assigned as Temporary Codes.
PIN Change
If a user is assigned the PIN Change feature in the Temporary Code option, the user must assign a new PIN
after a predetermined period — refer to option 51.42 = PARAMETERS.PIN Change — otherwise the
user PIN expires and is no longer operational.
To program a user code to prompt for a PIN change select the Temporary Code and press the key
instead of entering a number of days for a temporary code; press the ent key to accept the programming and
return to the previous menu level. A code that has been assigned as a PIN Change code is indicated on the
used code display with a between the user number and the user name, for example 001 USER. The
Manager, Engineer, or Remote codes cannot be assigned as PIN Change Codes.
If the value entered in the PIN Change parameter is 0 then the code is assigned as a permanent PIN — a
warning message is briefly displayed to indicate that a Pin Change will not be requested. However, if PIN
Change is within the range 1 – 12, then the number entered is number of months after which the code must be
changed, otherwise it expires.
NOTE: The PIN expires on the first day of the following month.
A notification (1 – 28 days) that the PIN requires to be changed can be assigned using the PIN Warning
option (refer to option 42.2); this prompts the user to assign a new code whenever the expiring code is en-
tered - except when the system is unsetting - for the number of days in the PIN Warning before the day the
PIN expires. The new PIN must be six digits and must be different from any current PIN including the user's
existing one. The new PIN must be re-entered and, if confirmed, the user is returned to the banner. If the esc
key is pressed or the new PIN entered is invalid, the user may continue to use the panel as normal; the next
entry of the PIN will prompt for the PIN change.
NOTE: If the user has not assigned a new PIN by the end of the PIN Warning period, then the code is
erased on the next unsetting of the system.
6 = Modify Group
This option determines the system groups that the user has access to and operational control over. The
Modify Groups option is only available when the group mode is enabled.
Galaxy 3-520
The Galaxy 520 panel has 32 groups; these are displayed on the keypad in blocks of eight groups, sub-
divided into A, B, C and D:
Press keys 1 – 8 to assign the relevant groups in each block to the user.
Code has been enabled (refer to option 63.1 = OPTIONS.Groups); the system defaults to groups disabled.
