2.3.1. Access Levels
Access is limited through the use of passcodes. An operator must enter a passcode at the front panel touch-pad to use the
AUTOCALL TFX-500M/800M control functions. After the passcode is entered, a menu is displayed. The operator then
selects a function from the menu. The menu that is displayed depends upon the access level of the operator’s passcode.
(See Table 2--2 .) Pressing
QUIT at any time will return to the preceding menu step or menu function.
A Special Passcode (default, 0911) may be assigned to allow quick access by
emergency personnel.

2.3.2. Initial Condition
At initial power--up, the AUTOCALL TFX-500M/800M display shows the following message until the power-up sequence
is completed:
TFX-500 or TFX-800
initialising... initialising...
Once the power-up sequence has completed, this message should not be seen because the AUTOCALL
TFX-500M/800M is connected to AC power. It also has battery backup power to provide an uninterrupted power supply.
Under normal operating conditions (that is, when there are no events present in the system) the display shows the date and
time. For example:
23 Jan 90 22:17:02
Time is shown in the 24-hour (military) format as HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS . For example, 1 PM would display as
13:00:00 . The clock has automatic leap-year correction until the year 2040.
2.3.3. Event Monitoring
The term “event”is used to describe a change in the system that must be acknowledged or one that causes an output.
Examples of events include AC power failure, detection of a fire condition, or operation of DRILL .
All events trigger a response. The events are classified by event type. One of the following occurs as a result of an event:
S
Full Alarm (EVACUATE)
