ACCESS LEVEL 1 (General User) CONTROLS AND MENU OPTIONS
Access level 1 is the general user level which is accessible to everyone. At this level you can:
• Scroll through any fire or fault conditions (as described on pages 9 - 11)
• View any disablements, or zones that are being tested
• Test the panel’s lamps (LED indicators and display) to ensure they are working correctly
• Determine the total number of times the panel has been in a fire condition
• Gain entry to access level 2 (authorised user level) and, if you are an engineer, access level 3.
Press the Menu button on the panel’s front at access level 1. The panel’s general user menu is displayed
(see Fig.1 below) which can be navigated using the panel’s scroll (
56
), Accept (
4
) and Escape (
3
)
buttons as appropriate.
Each menu option available at access level 1 is explained in detail below.
Enter access level 2
Access level 2 is for authorised users only and access to it requires the input of a special four digit code
using the panel’s pushbuttons, or by turning the panel’s keyswitch to the armed position ‘I’.
When the ENTER ACCESS LEVEL 2? prompt appears, press the Accept
4
button and you will be asked
to enter the code:
Enter the access level 2 code using the
5
(1),
4
(2),
6
(3),
3
(4) buttons as appropriate. The default code
to access level 2 is
3 3 3 3
(four presses of the
6
button). If this does not work, the code may have been
changed by an authorised user/engineer. A record of any changes should appear on the System Set-Up
Data Chart on page 20 of this user manual. If they do not, contact your maintenance company.
As soon as the code has been entered correctly you will be taken into access level 2. Additional panel
controls and menu options will now be available (see pages 15 - 19).
Enter access level 3
Access level 3 is the panel’s engineering level. ON NO ACCOUNT SHOULD ACCESS LEVEL 3 BE ACCESSED
BY ANYONE BUT AN AUTHORISED SYSTEM ENGINEER. A FIRE PANEL IS A PIECE OF LIFE SAFETY
EQUIPMENT AND UNAUTHORISED ACCESS MAY AFFECT THE WAY THE PANEL FUNCTIONS, ENDANGER
LIFE AND VOID ITS WARRANTY. If you are an engineer, details of access level 3 can be found in the
panel’s separate engineering manual.
