The Service Tool requires a 6-digit password to be entered.
The password is different for each service tool and will be
issued by the respective branch office.
The password uses only the digits 1 to 4, and may be entered
by pressing the corresponding buttons F1 to F4; eg, button F1
to enter 1, button F2 to enter 2, etc.
The user has 3 attempts to enter the correct code. On the 4th
attempt the following screen is displayed:
The user must telephone the branch office to get the correct
6-digit password at this point.
WARNING:
FAILURE TO ENTER THE CORRECT
PASSWORD AT THE FOURTH ATTEMPT
WILL RESULT IN THE SERVICE TOOL
SWITCHING OFF AND ALLOWING ONLY ONE
ATTEMPT ON SUBSEQUENT POWERING UP
OF THE UNIT.
The password has an expiry time associated with it.
The hours left indicates the actual usage (switched on) time
remaining.
CAUTION:
ONCE THE HOURS LEFT REACHES ZERO,
THE SERVICE TOOL BECOMES
INOPERABLE AND MUST BE RETURNED TO
THE BRANCH OFFICE.
When there is less than 50hours, the expiry time appears. The

3.3 CONNECTING TO A DEVICE
Detectors are inserted as shown in Fig. 3. Use the marking on
the service tool (above F1 button) to align the detector. Place
detector in position 1 to engage and then twist clockwise to
position 2 to lock.
Ancillaries are connected to the ‘AUX’socket using the
ancillary connection lead connector lead as shown in Fig. 4.
Note:
1) It is good practice to connect either a detector or
ancillary at any one time. However, the Service
Tool is equipped with a port interlock feature.
This allows an ancillary and a detector to be
connected at the same time. In such a case, the
detector will have priority for communication.
When the detector is removed, the ancillary will
be able to communicate.
