A valid  passcode  must  contain  a minimum  of 3 digits  and  not  more  than  10 digits.  The  available  digits  are  0 through 
9.  Passcodes  are  specified  during  order  entry;  then,  programmed  during  system  configuration.  When  passcodes 
are  not  specified,  the  following  default  passcodes  are  assigned.

LOWEST 
SECOND 
THIRD  (Highest  Operator  Access  Level) 
HIGHEST  (Normally  Used  By  Simplex  Personnel) 
The  operator  access  level  defaults  to  Level  1 when  power  is first  applied  to  the  system,  after  10  minutes  of  keypad 
inactivity,  and  when  the  user  elects  to  log  out.  The  <SYSTEM  RESET>  key  press  has  no  effect  upon  the  access 
level. 
The  only  way  to  increase  the  operator  access  level  in the  system  is to  select  the  “Change  Access  Level”  option  in 
the  Main  Function  Menu.  Decreasing  the  level  resets  system  access  level  to  1. Increasing  the  level  requires  a valid 
Level  2,  3,  or  4 passcode.  The  user  is prompted  to  enter  a passcode.  The  input  is compared  to  all  the  valid  system 
codes,  and  the  system  operator  access  level  is set  accordingly.  If an  invalid  code  is input,  you  will  be  notified  with 
the  message  “ERROR...INCORRECT  PASSCODE,”  and  will  be  allowed  up  to  three  chances  to  enter  a valid  code. 
After  three  unsuccessful  tries,  the  message  “ACCESS  DENIED”  will  be displayed  for  a short  time.  The  access  level 
will  not  be  altered,  but  you  will  no  longer  be  in the  ‘Change  Access  Level”  menu  option. 
If a correct  passcode  is entered,  the  message  “ACCESS  GRANTED”  is displayed.  The  new  operator  access  level 
will  be  in effect  until  the  keypad  is inactive  for  10  minutes,  or  until  you  manually  reset  the  level  through  the  “Change 
Access  Level”  option. 
While  entering  a passcode  with  the  keypad,  the  key  presses  are  acknowledged  by  a “beep.”  The  digits  entered  are 
not  displayed.  The  cursor  moves  along,  filling  the  position  with  an  X  to  indicate  that  a digit  has  been  entered.  The 
<DEL>  key  can  be  used  to  delete  the  last  digit.  The  <ENTER>  key  press  is required  to  enter  the  passcode  into  the 
system. 
The  Action  Keys,  ON,  OFF,  AUTO,  ENABLE,  DISABLE  and  the  five  Panel  Control  Keys  may  have  operator  access 
levels  associated  with  them.  If such  a  key  is  pressed  with  an  insufficient  access  level,  a  message  will  inform  the 
operator  that  the  action  was  not  taken,  and  the  key  press  is  ignored.  The  operator  must  then  select  the  Main 
Function  Menu  option  to  increase  the  access  level  before  using  the  key.  (See  Section  1,  Log  In  Procedure,  for 
details.) 
The  Acknowlege  Keys  may  also  require  passcodes  to  acknowledge  abnormal  conditions.  If you  press  an  cACK> 
key  with  insufficient  access,  an  error  message  will  be  displayed.  The  points  will  scroll  with  cACK>  key  pressing  to 
allow  you  to  view  the  points  on  the  list,  but  the  points  will  not  be  acknowledged.  (See  Section  1, Log  In  Procedure 
for  details.) 
POWER-UP  SEQUENCE 
Whenever  power  is applied  to the  panel,  or when  the  microprocessor  has  been  reset,  the  interface  panel  self-tests 
its  memory  integrity  and  verifies  card  configurations.  Next,  the  system  displays  the  SYSTEM  STARTUP  IN 
PROGRESS  message,  followed  by  a trouble  condition.  There  is always  one  trouble  condition  when  a warm  or  cold 
start  is performed  on  the  system.  Enter  time  and  date  to  clear  this  trouble.  Battery  trouble  conditions  normally  clear 
automatically,  approximately  90  seconds  after  system  power  is applied. 
The  green  POWER  ON  LED  illuminates  approximately  30  seconds  after  AC  power  is applied  to  the  system.  Make 
sure  that  the  green  LED  is illuminated  before  connecting  the  battery  power  harness. 
IMPORTANT 
To  power  up  the  4020  system,  apply  120  VAC  to  the  system.  Wait  until  the  GREEN  POWER  ON  LED 
has  illuminated.  Then  connect  the  battery  power  harness. 
To power  down  the  4020  system,  disconnect  battery  power  harness.  Then  turn  the  120  VAC  power  OFF.
