DURESS CODE
Duress code is used to inform the monitoring station about a distress event. Each user has
his own duress code. User’s duress code is his standard code with last digit increased by
one. If the last digit is 9 it should be changed to 0. Example:
User’s code is 3446, his duress code is 3447
User’s code is 3449, his duress code is 3440
Whenever duress code is input, distress event will be sent. It can be used in every
command that requires user authorization, i.e. arming/disarming and every system option
that requires user code, like partition state checking.
Duress code is disabled by default. It can be enabled by the installer or by the configuration
program.
