Octaire Control Panel Operation

Locking & Unlocking

Locking the Octaire Control Panel prohibits access to the system and can prevent accidental switching. While the panel is locked, BCS commands still work; however, they cannot be used to unlock the panel. The panel remains locked if the power is cycled.

The password used to lock and unlock the panel consists of a sequence of five input keys. The factory default password is the first five Input Keys (1-2-3-4-5). A new password can be set using any combination of five keys from Input 1 through Input 8.

Important: We strongly recommend recording passwords in a secure place; the Octaire system cannot retrieve a lost password.

If the password is lost while the system is locked, contact technical support (see page 31).

If you enter the wrong password while attempting to lock the Control Panel, the LCD displays “Invalid Password” and the Cancel Key flashes. Press the Cancel Key to clear the error and enter the correct password.

To lock the Control Panel:

1.Press the Function Key. The Function menu appears.

2.Locate Lock Panel by scrolling with the Control Dial.

3.Press the Select Key.

The system is in Lock Mode (Input Keys 1 through 8 turn blue).
