The SPC system must be installed by an authorised installation engineer. To do
so, wire the keypad to the X-BUS interface on the SPC Controller. To enter
Engineer Programming, enter the default engineer code (1111). The programming
tools to configure the system are available in engineer programming and are
accessible from the Keypad or SPC Pro.
The SPC system works under two Programming modes for authorised installation
engineers: Full and Soft.
Full Engineer Mode
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 full review of Full Engineer menu options, refer to
Appendix C: Keypad Full Engineer Menu.
All alerts, faults and tampers must first be isolated or cleared before exit from the
Full Engineer mode is allowed.
[Soft] Engineer Mode
Soft Engineer mode provides fewer programming functionality and does not affect
any outputs programmed in the system. For full review of [soft] Engineer menu
options, refer to Appendix B: Keypad Engineer Menu.
Once the SPC system has been installed, configuration and use may be done
using the keypad or the SPC Pro software. Both tools work independently.
The Keypad is quick onsite navigation of 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.
SPC Pro is a SDK application providing the ability to program configurations on or
offline. SPC Pro programming provides additional advanced communication and
X10 functionality not found on the Keypad.
