48 - Engineer Access
Option 48 – Engineer Access (Galaxy 512 only)
The engineer code is assigned a # in the PIN by default. This prevents the engineer from accessing engineer
mode unless authorised to do so by a valid code. To gain access to the engineer menu a level 6 user must
enter their code, and enable the Engineer Access option. This provides a 5 minute period during which a
single entry of the engineer code provides access to engineering mode without causing a tamper alarm. Once
the engineer mode has been accessed, there is no time limit on the access period.
If the Engineer Mode option has not been enabled, or the code is not entered within the 5 minute period,
then the Engineer code is invalid and has no effect.
If the PIN is programmed without the #, the Engineer Access option does not require to be enabled to allow
the engineer to gain access to engineer mode. The engineer code requires to be entered twice. The first entry
activates a tamper alarm which is cancelled by the second entry.
NOTES:
1. V1.18 or below: Only the remote code can remove the # from the engineer code. Both the
engineer and remote codes can assign the # to the code.
2. Dual entry of the engineer code in a system requiring user authorisation does not give access to
engineer mode.
