"if you dont disable high security engineer access then its not a problem as the engineer code wont work without a valid user code either set or unset. Its a good idea not to disable this feature anyway.
My reasoning for honeywell or texecom for most jobs is because they are easier to work on. The texecom manuals are the best out there."
Many thanks - a further hour or two with the manual and I now understand!!
Yes, the Scantronic manual at 84 pages is a bit daunting!! It doesn't help when they refer to the 'installer' and the 'engineer' as though these have different user profiles when in fact it seems they are one & the same!
I've been through the manual and, interestingly, find that although the index lists ''Guard Code" as being on page 40, page 40 makes no mention of it.
Page 40 does detail the procedure for changing the engineer code, programming command 20, and this is something I would expect installers would normally do. Only on reading the User Guide did I find any mention of having to input the User Code prior to inputting the engineer code - Special functions, Option 3. - but no mention of Factory default condition!! Not helpful.
