Service Mode
Inception provides a service mode which is enabled/disabled via the web interface or an LCD Terminal.
Service mode allows one or more of the functions listed below to be disabled during installation &
commissioning or when testing, service or maintenance is required.
* V1.1.0 or later only.
In a new controller, service mode is enabled by default for an unlimited amount of time. Once disabled,
service mode can be enabled at any time for a limited period.
e.g. When needing to connect to Inception for onsite maintenance, the installer can enable Service Mode
from an LCD Terminal, open the controller cabinet and plug in a Wi-Fi Adapter for an access point or an
ethernet cable for direct connection to a laptop.
If using the web interface some additional features are provided.
• Enable: When enabling, the installer can select which functions to disable and the duration of
service mode (1 hour to 1 day).
• Update: While running, functions disabled can be updated & the duration timer re-started.
• Disable: When disabling, the installer can choose a ‘Delay Before Disable’ time so that service
mode will not be disabled instantly. e.g. The installer can disable service mode with a delay of 10
minutes allowing time for the Wi-Fi adapter or ethernet cable to be removed and the cabinet
secured before service mode actually ends.
• Current Status: Shows the functions disabled & the service mode expiry date & time.

Wireless Devices
Inception supports the Integriti Inovonics RF LAN Expander Module that provides an interface for RF
detection devices (e.g. Motion Detector, Door/Window Transmitter, etc), general purpose transmitters
(for reed switches, etc.) and wireless remote fobs.
When RF transmitter activity is saved to the Inception review log, a signal strength value is included in
the message. This allows the installer to assess the relative signal strength of different receiver and/or
transmitter locations and the effective range of portable transmitters such as remote fobs.
Note that the signal strength value for portable transmitters (RF fobs) is only available in the Inception
firmware release V2.0.2 or later.
Contact your Inception dealer for details of additional Wireless devices that may be supported by
Inception in your region.
