SECURITY CODES General At the time of installation, your installer programmed a personal four-digit Master code, known only to you and yours. This code is used to perform most system functions, including arming and disarming of the system. As an additional safety feature, temporary user codes can be assigned (see next page) for use by those not having a need to know the Master code. Note that the Master code remains in effect even when other user codes are assigned. Duress Code This feature is i

The keypad will beep slowly during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the sys
