3.1 Menus and codes
Like all PIMA alarm systems, FORCE has two menus: User, and Technician, each accessed with
its own Master code. In addition, a new Central Monitoring Station (CMS) menu can have a
separate communication settings lock code.
Master technician code: allows accessing all the technician menus, including all CMSs
menus, as long as no CMS code was set; see next.
CMS lock code: an optional code for locking the CMS definitions from accessing it using the
Master technician code. This code only allows the technician/CMS to set and access the
CMS communication definitions, including the account ID and the communication paths.
