8 Advanced Functions
This section describes advanced functions that you can perform from the operator interface.
8.1 Logging in and out of the system
The FACP system has four access levels. Level 1 is the lowest access level; level 4 is the highest access level. Each display function may be
programmed for any access level from the FACP Programming tool. By default, access level 1 is adequate for typical front panel operations,
such as Alarm Acknowledge, Signal Silence and System Reset. To see the access levels from within the FACP Programmer, select the "Panel"
tab. The third item is named "Access Levels." Select this tab to see a list of all display functions and the assigned access level.
Log-in at access level 4 causes a "Service Mode" trouble. This trouble requires a "warm-start" to clear. To warm-start the panel, either press
the reset switch (located on the edge of the CPU card) for approximately 1 second or activate the front panel menu option.
Procedure
Follow these steps to log into the system at access level two, three, or four. The keypad used to enter the passcode is located behind the
interface panel access door.

Obtain the passcode for the access level at which you want to operate.
2.
Press MENU on the entry keypad, located on the right side of the interface panel.

Press the direction keys until the cursor highlights “Access.” Press ENTER or the “Select Item” softkey.

5.
Enter the passcode for the access level. The passcode can be up to 10 numbers in length. Press the ENTER key on the Display/
Action keypad or the “Enter” softkey when you have finished entering the code. An asterisk is displayed for each digit of your
passcode, as shown above.
8.2
Log Out Procedure
Failure to log out allows unauthorized personnel access to the various passcode protected functions.
If no keypad activity is detected for ten minutes, the system returns to Level 1 access.
Perform the following procedure to log out and return the operator access level to Level 1.
1.
Press the MENU key.
2.
Scroll to the “Access” command, and press ENTER or the “Select Icon” softkey.
3.
Scroll to “Log Out” and press ENTER. The panel is at access level 1.
4.
Press CLR/Exit to go back to the normal operation screen.
8.3
Setting System Time and Date
Follow these steps to set the time and date used by the FACP. Ensuring that the current time and date are correct on the system is
important. In particular, the accuracy of historical logs and reports depends on the system time.
