User Number - Every user is numbered 1 through 9999. This 
number identiÞ es the user to the system and is transmitted to the 
central station when the user arms or disarms areas.
User Code - Each user also has a 3 to 5 digit number, below 65535, 
to enter into the Security Command keypad when arming or 
disarming the system. 
Note: A User Code cannot begin with zero and 3-digit codes cannot 
begin with 98.
For UL installations, avoid using repetitive (111) or sequential 
(123) codes.
User Names - Each code may also be programmed with the user 
name. You may enter up to 16 characters for the name.
User ProÞ le - The user is also assigned a ProÞ le (1 to 99) by the 
person administrating the system. The proÞ le number determines 
the areas and functions the user can access.
