Selecting Additional Lists; Operator Access Levels - Simplex 4100 Operating Instructions Manual

You have the choice of entering a point number or an address number. The format for entering a point identifier
address requires a hyphen. Only numbers and the hyphen keys are valid entries. The maximum number of digits
allowed in an identifier input is eleven (11), including the hyphens, excluding the <ENTER> key.

SELECTING ADDITIONAL LISTS

When an abnormal condition occurs, a record of the event is placed in one of two logs generated by the 4100 system,
depending on the nature of the condition. These logs are:
• Historical Alarm Log
• Historical Trouble Log.
The historical logs contain a time stamp of the events surrounding abnormal conditions in the system. The
information displayed with these lists are historical data only and will not contain any current point status. Separate
lists are maintained for alarms and for supervisories/troubles. These lists are displayed by selecting the "Display
Historical Log" option from the Main Function Menu.

OPERATOR ACCESS LEVELS

Operator access levels 1 through 4 are available to support the 4100 system. Level 1 is the lowest operator access
level and does not require a passcode to be entered to access functions identified at this level. Levels 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. Passcodes are specified during order entry; then, programmed during system configuration. When passcodes
are not specified, the following default passcodes are assigned.
LEVEL PASSCODE
1 NONE

4
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.
