The first code programmed should replace the default (Level-3) code, “U01 123 • • • – • • – • • ”, (1,2,3), which should not be selected as a user code. Enter up to six digits (a minimum of four digits is recommended). The related Option Code and Authority Level are programmable in the Dealer Program Mode only.
Each user should be assigned his own dissimilar code and should be cautioned against divulging his code to anyone else. Thus should it become necessary to remove a user from the system, that one code may be cancelled without affecting other codes, and that user would then be prevented from entry.
NOTE: Napco’s PCD3000 Quickloader Software provides enabling and disabling User Codes at programmed times using the scheduling menus.
Changing or Canceling a Code
To change any code, merely program over the existing code as described in the Programming Instructions. Similarly, to cancel a code, blank out each number of the code.
Arm/Disarm Code
An Arm/Disarm Code may be used to arm/disarm the area in which it is programmed. Up to 6 digits may be programmed or it may be programmed as a two-digit code for the purposes of quick arming.
Arm-Only Code
An Arm-Only Code may only be used to arm the area in which it is programmed; it never has any disarm capability. Up to 6 digits may be programmed or it may be programmed as a two-digit code for the purposes of quick arming.
Service Code
A Service Code is an Arm/Disarm Code that is easily activated when needed, and dormant at other times. Intended for the occasional or temporary user (maid, repairman, etc.) who would otherwise be denied access to the premises, it is programmed in conjunction with the Authority Level when programming User Codes
It is activated by arming with it; an “S” will appear in the display (GEM-RP1CA/RP1CAe/RP1CAe2 only) after the exit-delay countdown, indicating that a Service Code has been activated. It may then be used to arm and disarm just as any other User Code. Service code can be armed/disarmed from a disarmed state, but it cannot be armed/disarmed from an armed state, after another user code has been entered.
Panel Access Code
The Panel Access Code will trip the panel’s Auxiliary Relay while disarmed if Access Control on Auxiliary Relay is programmed. The Panel Access Code is programmed as any other User Code but without an accompanying Priority Level.
Caution: Do not use the same code as any Arm/Disarm Code.
Note: These systems have not been investigated by UL for compliance with UL294 (Access Control Systems).
Keypad Access Code
Any User Code may have Keypad Access through a door with a striker by programming the keypad’s Access Byte. Program the Keypad Access Lug for the applicable keypads 1 through 8.
If the Access Byte is programmed, that User Code will function only an Access Code and not as an Arm/Disarm Code. Entering the code will cause a 5-second active-low output on the PGM line with a pulsing sounder at the keypad and “ ” (or other customized message) displayed. Note: (1) Keypads may be programmed for access only, eliminating their arm/disarm function (keypad will then normally display “ ”. (2) Keypad access may be logged into the event log by keypad.
Ambush Code
The Ambush Code is a two-digit code entered by the user just prior to disarming, typically to cause a silent report to be sent to the central station. Thus, should the user be forced to disarm by an assailant, he can silently signal an emergency while appearing to be merely disarming the panel. (Check the glossary for programming required to enable this feature.) Ambush Code should not contain digits used as the first two digits of any user code.
