General Information
The VISTA-128BP allows a total of 150 security access
codes to be allocated. The VISTA-250BP allows a total
of 250 security access codes to be allocated. Each
security access code is identified by a user ID number.
Regardless of the number of partitions each code
has access to, it occupies only one user slot in the
system. If a code is not used in all partitions,
that user ID number cannot be used again.
The Quick Arm feature can also be programmed
(partition-specific program field *29). The Quick Arm
feature allows the user to arm the system by pressing
the [#] key instead of the security code. The security
code must always be entered to disarm the system.
• A user code other than the installer code
must be programmed in order for the Quick
Arm feature to function.
• Users 001-050 are the only users that can
perform panel linking and are automatically
assigned panel linking access.
The system is shipped with the following defaults
for the user codes:
User 4-Digit Code Alpha Descriptor
User 1 (Installer) 4140 INSTLR
User 2 1234 MASTER
User Codes & Levels of Authority
Each user of the system can be assigned a level of
authority, which authorizes the user for certain system
functions. A user can have different levels of authority
within different partitions
Use the “View Capabilities” keypad function (User
Code + [✳] + [✳]) to view the partitions and authority
levels for which a particular user is authorized. These
levels 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 by
another code (or by Quick Arm).
• Can add, delete, or change all other codes, and can
select Open/Close reports for any user.
• Is the only code that can be used to enter program
mode. The Installer Code can be prevented from
re-entering the Program Mode by exiting using
∗98.
• Must program at least one Master Code during
initial installation. Master Codes are codes
intended for use by the primary user(s) of the
system.
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 his own code.
• Can add, delete, or change Manager or Operator
Codes. Each user’s code can be individually
eliminated or changed at any time.
• Open/Close reporting is automatically the same as
that 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 the
system below this level (Manager cannot assign
anybody a level of 0, 1, or 2).
• May change his own code.
• Open/Close reporting is automatically the same as
that of the Manager who is adding the new user.
Levels 3-5: Operator Codes
• Can operate a partition, but cannot add or modify
any user code (see table below).
Level Title Functions Permitted
3 Operator A Arm, Disarm, Bypass
4 Operator B Arm, Disarm
5 Operator C Arm, Disarm only if armed with
same code
