Programming User Codes in the Ranger System
Your system can be operated by your Master Code and up to 5 other User Codes. User Codes can be assigned to employees, babysitters, workmen, or anyone that needs to arm and disarm your system. User Codes can be changed or deleted at any time without effecting your Master Code.
Each code in your system is assigned a sequential number. The Master Code is code number 1 and the User Codes are code numbers 2 - 6. When programming a User Code keep a record of which code number it is, as well as, the 4 digit code itself.
Code number 7 is your Duress Code. If your alarm system is monitored and this code is used to arm or disarm your alarm system, a silent signal will be sent to the monitoring station and the police will be dispatched immediately. This code is to be used in a durress or hold up situation. Typically this code is the same as the 4 digits of your address, but any 4 digits can be used.
Changing your Master Code:
Please Note: Changing your Master Code erases all User Codes and your Duress Code. You will have to reprogram these codes if you change your Master Code.
Your Master Code is always code number 1. Enter the following sequence of numbers:
