34. How to check the User PIN Brute Force Limitation

The Administrator is able to observe and determine the number of consecutive times an incorrect User PIN is allowed to be
entered before triggering the Brute Force defence mechanism by simply noting the LED sequence as described below.
To check the brute force limitation setting, first enter the Admin Mode as described in section 5. Once the drive is in Admin

2 + 0 buttons
2. Press the KEY ( ) button and the following happens:
a. All LED's (RED, GREEN
b. Each RED LED blink equates to ten (10) units of a brute force limitation number.
c. Every GREEN LED blink equates to one (1) single unit of a brute force limitation number.
d. All LED's (RED, GREEN
e. LEDs return to solid BLUE
The table below describes the LED behaviour whilst checking the brute force limitation setting, for instance if you have set the
drive to brute force after 5 consecutive incorrect PIN entries, the
