The panel operation is protected from inadvertent and erroneous misuse by means of four access levels. These

ï‚· Level 2 Authorised User
ï‚· Level 3 Commissioning, Service and Maintenance
 Level 4 Commissioning, Service and Maintenance – Special Tools Required
This document covers the Level 1 and Level 2 User functions. For details on the installation, programming and
commissioning of the panel, refer to Manual 680-147. Full details are supplied with any special tools.
ï‚· A Level 1 Untrained User can view the current operational condition of the system and may MUTE the
internal buzzer.
ï‚· A Level 2 Authorised User can view the operational condition of the system and may MUTE the internal
buzzer. In addition, the RESOUND/SOUND ALARMS, SILENCE and RESET buttons are enabled and
access to the Level 2 Menu functions is available. This requires a password (or key-switch).
