How to Change a Lost Code to a DSC Security System

The Maxsys security system from DSC Security holds up to 1,500 access codes. The individual codes are programmable to allow or disallow arming and disarming of the entire security system or specific zones within the system. Each code is assigned a user name. In the event a user does not remember his code, reprogram a new code for him using the system’s master code.

Instructions

    • 1

      Enter the master code by pressing “*," “5” and then the four-digit code.

    • 2

      Scroll to the User Name Search option by pressing “>," then press “*” or “1.”

    • 3

      Key the number on the keypad that corresponds with the first letter of the person’s name. Press the number button one time for each position of the letter on the key. For example, if the name is Alice, press “1” once since the letter A is in the first position of the number “1” key. If the name is Kevin, press “4” twice since the letter K is in the second position on the “4” key.
