14 Starting the system
CAUTION: The SPC system must be installed by an authorised installation engineer.
1. Wire the keypad to the X-BUS interface on the controller.
2. Enter Engineer Programming by entering the default Engineer PIN (1111). For more details, see
Engineer PINs below.
14.1 Engineer modes
The SPC system works under 2 programming modes for authorised installation engineers: Full and Soft. In
the browser, log off is only permitted in Soft Engineer mode.
Full Engineer Mode
All alerts, faults and tampers must first be isolated or cleared before exit from the Full Engineer mode
is allowed.
Full Engineer mode provides extensive programming functionality. However, programming in Full Engineer
mode disables all alarm settings, reports and output programming for the system. For a full review of Full
Engineer menu options, see Engineer programming via the keypad on page112.
[Soft] Engineer mode
Soft Engineer mode provides fewer programming functions and does not affect any outputs programmed in
the system. For a full review of [Soft] Engineer menu options, see Soft Engineer programming via the
keypad on page111.
14.1.1 Engineer PINs
The start up Engineer default programming PIN is ‘1111’.
If an installation is changed from Grade 2 to Grade 3 at any time after start-up, all PINs are prefixed with a
0. Therefore, the default Engineer PIN will be ‘01111’.
Increasing the number of digits for the PIN (see Options on page252) will add the relevant number of zeros
to the front of an existing PIN (for example, 001111 for a 6 digit PIN).
NOTICE: If the default PIN 1111 is enabled, for example, a new SPC installation, you must change
the engineer PIN at the panel. If you do not change your PIN, you will get an information message
forcing you to change your default PIN before logging out of full engineer mode.
14.2 Programming with the keypad
The keypad provides quick onsite access to system menus and programming. The authorised installation
engineer must set initial default configurations using the keypad. Programming of proximity card/device
reader and assignment to users also must be done using the keypad.
