ACCESS
____________________________________________________________
1. ACCESS
The control panel has 3 separate access levels with access level 1 being available to
user without entry of a special password. Each access level has its own operating
criteria as shown in figure 1.0, which restricts operation of the panel by the user. Levels
2 and 3 can only be accessed by entry of a separate user password, the password is
accessed via operation of the numeric keys on the membrane fascia.

To gain entry into the required access level, levels 2 or 3, operate any numeric key once
and the password prompt will appear on the display as shown in figure 1.2. Enter the
required access level password number and then operate the Enter key, the password
entry requires a four digit number. Once selected the panel will then verify the entry,
which will either be accepted or rejected. Each operation of a membrane key will be
confirmed by a short operation of the internal panel buzzer and entry of the number will
be shown on the display as a #, for security reasons.

When an alarm activation occurs on the control panel and the activation has timers T1
and T2 programmed, operation of the Silence Buzzer key will affect the operation.
Operation while timer T1 is counting down will cause timer to be accepted which will
then initiate timer T2. While timer T2 is counting down each operation of Silence
Buzzer will extend the countdown of the timer in 10 second increments to a maximum
of 600 seconds. Extending T2 will cause the display to confirm that the timer has been
extended by showing a Timers Extended message.
1.2 Scroll
When more than one activation is indicated on the control panel operation of the Scroll
membrane key will allow the activations to be shown on the display. Each operation
of the Scroll key will step through to the next activation in sequence of operation, this
will be for the selected area only. Once the last activation has been displayed operation
of Scroll key will continue to display from the first activation.

1.3 Silence Alarms

Operation of the Silence Alarms membrane key is only accessible at either access level
2 or 3 when operated a confirmation message will be shown on the display. Operation
will cause any audible alarms, any outputs which may of been programmed to
deactivate and cancel the operation of the countdown timers T1 and T2.
When an alarm condition is present on the control panel operation of this key will cause
the pulsing Alarm and relevant Zonal LEDS to operate in a constant mode. If the
Silence Buzzer key has not been operated then operation of the Silence Alarms key will
cause the internal panel buzzer to operate intermittently.
The Panel Reset membrane key will not be capable of being operated until the Silence
Alarm key has been operated.
1.4 Reset
Operation of the Reset membrane key is only accessible at access levels 2 and 3.
When operated any activation which is existing on the control panel will be cleared and
Status Normal will be reinstated.
1.5 Delay Override
The operation of the Delay Override is accessible at access level 1, and will when
operated override the operation of any time delays which have been programmed to
the panel (timers 0, 1 and 2). When operated a confirmation message will be
displayed and the relevant countdown timer will then be cancelled.
1.6 Evacuate
When the evacuate membrane key is operated the sounder circuits and other outputs
which are programmed to operate will activate. The display will have a confirmation
message of the operation as shown in figure 1.5

In Status Normal operation the Enter membrane Key will be used for the acceptance
of numeric data, access of menu selections and accepting the setting of system
information. During priority alarm activations the Enter membrane push button will be
used for the viewing of individual device data as shown in figure 1.6.
1.8 Cancel Key (
)
Operation of the Cancel membrane key will cancel/deselect the present access
menu selection and continued operation will eventually return the display to access
level 1. While the internal panel printer is printing operation of the Cancel key will
cause a prompt message to be displayed, this can only be operated while in access
levels 2 and 3. The message will request Cancel Print ? operation of Enter will
cause the printer to stop where as Cancel will continue the operation of the printer.
1.9 Numeric keys (0 to 9)
The numeric keys are mainly used to select the access level password number as
described in Access section (section 1.0). The numeric keys can be used to select
menu level options and the inputting of system data. To select the required menu
option press the number required and the highlight will move to the corresponding
option i.e. LIST = 1 and TEST = 4, operation of the Enter Key will access the menu.
1.10 Arrow Keys
The arrow keys UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT are used for the selection of the
access level menus, selection of activations, viewing priority pending activations
and also for the programming of the control panel parameters. The control panels
display will give basic operating instructions on how the arrow keys can be used.

Once entered a choice of ISOLATE or DE-ISOLATE is requested, by operation of
the arrow keys the required option can be selected. The selection of either option will
not depend upon the current status of the device i.e. if devices are already isolated and
the isolate option is made the devices will remain isolated.
If the isolation of a range of devices covers a full zone then the relevant zonal led will
be lit, if however the selection does not cover a full zone then the device isolate led will
be lit. Operation of the isolate will cause the common isolate led to illuminate.
Operation of the Cancel key will return the display through the menu selections and
continued operation will return the panel to access level 1, where the display will show
a devices isolated message as shown in figure 2.3.
2.3 Output Group
Isolation and De-isolation of Output Groups is similar in format to that of Zones as per
section 2.1, the significant difference is that the Zone reference is replaced with
Group. When an Output is isolated the Common Isolate" and Output Isolate LEDS
will be illuminated. Repeated operation of the Cancel key will return the display
through the menu selections and continued operation will return the panel to access
level 1 where the display will show a devices isolated message as shown in figure 2.3.

2.5 Plant
Upon the selection of this menu option and if the plant indications have not been setup
within the Panel Setup menu selection a message will appear stating Plants are not

Operation of the arrow keys will highlight either the Yes, No or List faults options
upon the display. Operation of the Enter key upon the Yes position will cause the
raised logon faults to be accepted and the configuration to be updated. Once accepted
this now becomes the new configuration of the control panels loop(s). Operation of
cancel at this point will cause the panel to carry out a configuration check, upon
completion the associated loggon faults will be cleared. If the Enter key is operated
TM0003

upon the No position the logon faults will not be accepted causing the logon faults to
remain. Selection of the List faults will cause the display to operate as described in
section 3.8.4 of this manual. Operation of the Cancel key will cause the display to be
cancelled and revert to the menu options.
4.8.2 Accept Config Count
This option works in the same manner as that of the Accept Logon Fault option as
explained previously. This option will accept the faults raised when their are
discrepancies between the panels stored configuration and the information transmitted
from the VIPER programming software, with respect to the loop device information only.
If theYes option is selected then the loop device information, which is stored in the
panels configuration, will not be updated by the discrepancies raised by the download
of the VIPER.
