The VISTA-250BPT allows a totalof 250 security access codes to be allocated. Eachsecurity access code is identified by a user ID number.Regardless of the number of partitions each codehas access to, it occupies only one user slot in thesystem. If a code is not used in all partitions, thatuser ID number cannot be used again.The Quick Arm feature can also be programmed(partition-specific program field ∗29). The Quick Armfeature allows the user to arm the system by pressingthe [#] key instead of the security code. The securitycode must always be entered to disarm the system.A user code other than the installer code mustbe programmed in order for the Quick Armfeature to function.The system is shipped with the following defaultsfor the user codes:User 4-Digit Code Alpha DescriptorUser 1 (Installer) 4140 INSTLRUser 2 1234 MASTERUser Codes & Levels of AuthorityEach user of the system can be assigned a level ofauthority, which authorizes the user for certain systemfunctions. A user can have different levels of authoritywithin different partitionsUse the “View Capabilities” keypad function (UserCode + [∗] + [∗]) to view the partitions and authoritylevels for which a particular user is authorized. Theselevels are described below.Level 0: Installer (User 1) Code• Programmed in field ∗00 (default = 4-1-4-0).Installer Open/Close reporting selected in field ∗39.• Can perform all system functions (arm, disarm,bypass, etc.), but cannot disarm if armed byanother code (or by Quick Arm).• Can add, delete, or change all other codes, and canselect Open/Close reports for any user.• Is the only code that can be used to enter programmode. The Installer Code can be prevented from re-entering the Program Mode by exiting using ∗98.• Must program at least one Master Code duringinitial installation. Master Codes are codesintended for use by the primary user(s) of thesystem.Level 1: Master Codes• Can perform all normal system functions.• Can be used to assign up to 148 lower-level codes,which can be used by other users of the system.• Cannot assign anybody a level of 0 or 1.• May change own code.• Can add, delete, or change Manager or OperatorCodes. Each user’s code can be individuallyeliminated or changed at any time.• Open/Close reporting is automatically the same asthat of the Master who is adding the new user.Level 2: Manager Codes• Can perform all system functions (arm, disarm,bypass, etc.) programmed by Master.• May add, delete, or change other users of thesystem below this level (Manager cannot assignanybody a level of 0, 1, or 2).• May change own code.• Open/Close reporting is automatically the same asthat of the Manager who is adding the new user.Levels 3-5: Operator Codes• Can operate a partition, but cannot add or modifyany user code (see table below).Level Title Functions Permitted3 Operator A Arm, Disarm, Bypass4 Operator B Arm, Disarm5 Operator C Arm, Disarm only if armed withsame code• Operator C (sometimes known as the BabysitterCode) cannot disarm the system unless the systemwas armed with that code. This code is usuallyassigned to persons who may need to arm anddisarm the system at specific times only (e.g., ababysitter needs to control the system only whenbabysitting).
