6.12 OPERATOR ACCESS LEVELS
There are four operator access levels available to support the system. They are levels 1
through 4. Level 1 is the lowest operator access level and does not require a passcode to
be entered to access functions identified at this level. Level 2 through 4 require a passcode
of the required level or higher to be entered prior to performing the passcode protected
function. Controlling actions may be classified with access levels 2 through 4. Routine
actions are assigned to low access levels while access level 4 is reserved for special, highly
sensitive operations (normally reserved for Simplex personnel). Entering a level 4 passcode
enables you to access all the functions of the system.
A valid passcode must contain a minimum of 3 digits and not more than 10 digits. The
available digits are 0 through 9.

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.
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. . . INVALID 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 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 you that the action was not taken and the
key press is ignored.
