About Logging in as an Engineer
Logging in as an engineer causes keypads connected directly to the same network or
XNode/MNode to display "System Busy". Keypads connected to a different network or
XNode/MNode display ”Engineer on Site", and other engineers or users can log on to these.
The factory default engineer code is 1234. If the system is set up for 6-digit codes (page 79),
the default is 123400.
You will not be able to log in as an engineer if:
Another engineer or user is currently logged in at the keypad that you using.
A user has fully set the system (i.e. all wards armed).
Note that you are able to log in if the system was set by an engineer or is partially set (i.e.
not all wards armed). This latter case enables you to log in if, for example, the site has
safes or other "strong" areas that are often armed throughout the day.
A user has prevented you from gaining access using User option 1-9.
The Hi Security Eng configuration option is selected (page 76) and you do not have a
"remote reset" code.
Logging Out
If you want to log out (i.e. exit from the Engineer menus completely), keep pressing ] until you
see the following, then press [.
Press [Ent] To
Leave Menus
Logging out also logs out any other engineer currently logged in at a different keypad. If you
have been using more than one keypad, this prevents you from having to check each keypad
before you leave the site.
About the Engineer Menus
The options in the Engineer menus enable you to perform tasks such as setting up the system,
performing tests and viewing logged information. It is essential to configure the intruder panel
using the Engineer menu options before you hand over the system to the end user.
There are two top-level Engineer menus:
Engineer Menu 1, as described in Chapter 3. Engineer Menu 1 contains the options
shown on page 23.
Engineer Menu 2, as described in Chapter 4. Engineer Menu 2 contains the options
shown on page 82.
A full list of options and their positions within the menu hierarchy is given in the Quick Reference
on page 126.
