Password or PIN code
"
The terms
Password, PIN (Personal
Identification Number), Usercode and Access code
mean the same and are used interchangeably.
A password restricts access to the controls available to the
user at the Repeat panel.
There are four access levels to the controls.
¨
The
Access
level 1
controls only allows
cycling through of multiple fire events
messages on the screen using the two
buttons on the outer door.
¨
Access level 2a
is for the CUSTOMER. Here
the person responsible for the system can
access the 'essential controls' by opening the
panel outer door using a key
¨
Access level 2b
is for the CUSTOMER. Here
the person responsible for the system can
access essential controls and some
configuration menus using the panel door key
plus a customer PIN.
¨
Access level 3
is for the ENGINEER. Here
the person responsible for the system can
access essential controls and all system
menus using the panel door key plus Engineer
PIN.
¨
Daily PIN
There is another PIN that changes daily,
which is available to the servicing
organisation. This daily PIN provides the same
access to controls as the Engineers' PIN. The
daily PIN is only used when the Engineer's
PIN is not known.
"
Always make a note of the Customer and
Engineering PINs once they are created. Ensure the
Customer PIN is passed on to the person responsible
for the fire alarm system on the site.
