Setup and Button Functionality
The configuration of the detector is achieved by using a PC loaded with Xtralis VSC software or through the
display panel.
This section provides information on the button functionality in the display panel, and how to setup the
detector and navigate through the Main Menu options. A flow chart that shows a summary of these navigation
options may be found in Appendix A.

Access Codes
Access to some modes in the Main Menu and other configuration and control functions requires the user to
enter an Access Code.
There are several different access levels. Higher levels provide access to additional administration features.
The Operator Access Code is changeable as a parameter in Configuration Mode, which requires Level 1
Access. The default Access Codes are shown below.

How to Enter an Access Code via the Display Panel
When entering an Access Code, the alternative function LEDs above the ACCEPT and RESET buttons will
be lit, enabling these buttons to be used as UP and DOWN buttons to enter a 3-digit number.
If the UP or DOWN buttons are continually pressed, the 'units' digit on the Status Display will increment, then
the 'tens' digit, then the 'hundreds' digit. If the button is released, the flashing digit (units, tens or hundreds) is
the one that will change with further use of the UP and DOWN buttons. When the hundreds digit is correct,
wait about three seconds for the flashing digit to move to the tens digit, then set the tens to the required value.
Repeat for the units digit.
