8.2 Engineer options 
 
The Engineer options are options that apply to maintenance and installation 
functions. 
8.2.1 User code required 
 
If the User code required option is set to Yes, a user is required to grant the 
installer an access to the programming menu. See Advisor Advanced User Guide 
for more information on Installer option. 
8.2.2 Tamper required 
 
If the Tamper required option is set to Yes, the installer must open the panel 
housing (initiating the tamper alarm) to be able to enter the programming menu. 
8.2.3 Engineer lockout 
 
If the Engineer lockout option is set to Enable, it is no longer possible to enter 
programming mode during power-up using the default installer code (jumper T1 
set during power-up). 
Caution: If this option is enabled, it is impossible to run the system recovery 
procedure. See “Recovery procedure” on page 296 for more information. 
8.2.4 Engineer reset 
 
The Engineer reset menu lets you define which conditions require an engineer 
reset, and also lets you perform this reset. 
8.2.4.1 Alarm 
 
If the Alarm option is set to Yes, the area in which the alarm occurred can not be 
set until an engineer reset has been performed, provided engineer reset prevents 
setting (see “8.4.1 RTS options”, page 242).  
This option is ignored in case AB alarm confirmation is enabled. For more 
information see “8.2.4.4 Confirmed alarm” on page 238.
