7.1 User rights

Based on the operational features of the SPC system, described below, users have
rights attributed to the user profiles. The installation engineer will inform users of
their user rights assigned to each user profile. Depending on how the system has
been programmed, users may have rights to all or some of these features.

User rights

User Profile User type Description

Default

Fullset Limited The FULLSET [➙ 15] operation fully sets the alarm
Standard system and provides full protection to a building
Manager (opening of any alarm zones activates the alarm).
On selecting FULLSET, the buzzer sounds and the
keypad display counts down the exit time period. Exit
the building before this time period has expired.
When the exit time period has expired, the system is
set and opening of entry/exit zones starts the entry
timer. If the system is not Unset before the entry timer
expires, the alarm is activated.

Partset A Standard The PARTSET A [➙ 16] option provides perimeter

Manager protection to a building while allowing free movement
through the exit and access areas.
Zones that have been classified as EXCLUDE A
remain unprotected in this mode. By default, there is no
exit time; the system sets instantly on selection of this
mode. An exit timer can be applied to this mode by
enabling the Partset A timed variable.

Partset B Standard The PARTSET B option applies protection to all zones

Manager except those that have been classified as EXCLUDE B.
By default there is no exit time; the system sets
instantly on selection of this mode. An exit timer can be
applied to this mode by enabling the Partset B timed
variable.

Forceset Standard The FORCESET [➙ 16] option is presented on the

Manager keypad display when an attempt is made to set the
system while an alarm zone is faulty or still open (the
top line of the display shows the open zone).
Selecting this option sets the alarm and inhibits the
zone for that set period.

Unset Limited The UNSET [➙ 15] operation unsets the alarm. This
Standard menu option is only presented on the keypad after an
Manager alarm has been activated and a valid user code has
been entered.

Restore Standard The RESTORE [➙ 16] operation restores an alert

Manager condition on the system and clears the alert message
associated with that alert condition.
An alert condition can only be restored after the zone(s)
or fault(s) that triggered the alert condition have been
restored to their normal operating state and the

Use of this feature to deactivate faulty or open zones
should be considered carefully; once a zone is isolated,
it is ignored by the system and could be overlooked
when setting the system in the future, compromising
the security of the premises.

Inhibit Standard Inhibiting a zone [➙ 19] deactivates that zone for one
Manager alarm set period. Only alarm, entry/exit, fire exit and
line zone types can be inhibited.
This is the preferred method of deactivating a faulty or
open zone as the fault or open condition is displayed
on the keypad each time the system is being set to
remind the user to attend to that zone.
