A Partitioned System; Usercodes And Authority Levels; Entry/Exit Delay S - ADEMCO 4140XMPT User Manual

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
A PARTITIONED SYSTEM
Simply stated, a partitioned system
shares one physical alarm system
among many different users, each with
their own requirements. Applications
range from a two family dwelling to a
factory/office complex.
For the most part, you as a user need
not know about other users and their
structure in the system, but from time
to time, you may see display
messages which indicate the system is
in use by another user. Do not be
concerned, this is normal.
USER CODES and
AUTHORITY LEVELS
At the time of installation, you were
assigned an authority level and a
personal four-digit code, known only to
you and yours. This code must be
entered when armingt and disarming
the system. As an additional safety
feature, other users that do not have a
need to know the master code can be
assigned different codes.
All codes can be used interchangeably
when performing system functions
within the limits of each code's
authority level (a system armed with
one user's code can be disarmed by
the Master Code or another user's
code), with the exception of the
Operator Level C code, described in
the PARTITIONED USER CODE
FUNCTIONS section.
Depending on the authority assigned to
you, there are certain system
functions you may be prohibited from
performing. To view your authority level
and capabilities, enter your code +

Note that if "Quick Arming" was
programmedby tie installer, the ~ key
can be pressed in place of the security
code when arming the system. The
securitycode must still be used to disarm
the system, however.
ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS
Your system is"programmed by the
installer with preset time delays,
during which the system must be
disarmed upon entering or an alarm
will occur. This feature allows you to
leave and reenter through the entry
delay door without setting off the
alarm. The entry delay feature can
also be turned off for greater security
when sleeping or while away for
extended periods of time (INSTANT&
MAXIMUM modes). See your installer
for your delay times.
SELF-HELP FEATURE
Abbreviated user's instructions are
built into the system that can be
easily viewed on the alpha console's
message display screen. This feature
will prove particularly useful if this
manual is not conveniently accessible
when you need to perform a seldom
used system procedure with which
you are not familiar.
To view the abbreviated instructions,
simply press and hold down the
function key of interest until the
description starts to appear (about 5
seconds) and then release it. Refer to
the FUNCTIONS OF THE CONSOLE
section for detailed
each key function.
