Manager Menu

The Manager Menu provides advanced settings for managing your alarm system. Only the system manager (typically the homeowner or business owner) should have access to this menu.

To access the Manager Menu:

  1. Press 0 followed by your User Code
  2. Scroll through the User Menu using # / next until you reach Manager Menu ?
  3. Press REC / YES to enter the Manager Menu (if permitted)

Set Date & Time​

Set Date&Time? → Press REC / YES to Change the system's date and time

Allows you to correct the date and time on your system. Follow the on-screen prompts to enter the new date and time.

View Engineering Log​

View Eng. Log? → Press REC / YES to View up to 999 events logged in the system memory

Shows a detailed event log including alarm activations, arm/disarm events, fault conditions, and engineer visits. Use * / prev and # / next to scroll through entries.

tip

The Engineering Log records more detail than the User Log and can store up to 999 events. This is useful for understanding what has happened on your system over time.

User Codes​

User Codes ? → Press REC / YES to Add a new User Code or change an existing one

Allows you to:

  • Add new user codes for family members or staff
  • Change existing user codes

Follow the on-screen prompts to select a user number and enter the new code.

tip

Each person who uses the alarm should have their own unique code. This makes it easy to see who armed or disarmed the system in the event log.

User Options​

User Options ? → Press REC / YES to Change a User Code's features

Configure what each user code is allowed to do, such as:

  • Whether the user can unset the system
  • Whether the user can inhibit a zone
  • Other access permissions

Follow the on-screen prompts to select the user and adjust their options.

User Names​

User Names ? → Press REC / YES to Change a User Code's name

Give each user a meaningful name instead of the default (e.g. change U01User1 to U01Peter). This makes the event log much easier to read.

Use the number keys to type letters (like texting on an old phone):

  • Press 2 once for "a", twice for "b", three times for "c"
  • Press 0 for a space

User Block Assignment​

User Blk Assign? → Press REC / YES to Assign User Codes to Blocks

Assigns user codes to specific blocks (areas) in your system:

  • B0 = Common area (all blocks)
  • B1 = Block 1 only
  • etc.

This is useful in multi-area systems (e.g. shared buildings) where different users should only have access to certain areas.

Proximity Tag Assignment​

User ProxAssign? → Press REC / YES to Assign proximity tags to users

The display shows U01 Tag Unused. You can scroll to other users (U02, U03, etc.) and assign a tag to each one.

To assign a tag:

  1. Select the user you want to assign a tag to
  2. Bring the proximity fob/tag close to the keypad
  3. The tag is now activated for that user
note

You can assign a different proximity tag to each user. See Proximity Tag for how to use tags to arm and disarm.

System Config​

System Config? → Press REC / YES

The display shows Eng. Access No. If changed to YES, the engineer can enter the system in engineer mode using just their code — without needing a user code as well.

warning

When Engineer Access is enabled, the engineer can access your system without your code. However, when they do, the internal siren will activate and only stop if they press another key. This is a security measure.

tip

Only enable Engineer Access when your installer needs to service the system. Disable it again afterwards for maximum security.
