Putting the cylinder into operation Putting the cylinder into operation The sections below describe the process of putting the cylinders into operation for the first time. The cylinders in the CY21 system families can be initialised, i.e. assigned to an object or a system, shortly before installation or after assembly. Initial commissioning with a master card is described below.

Deleting a transponder Deleting a transponder Proceed as follows to delete the transponder: Hold the master card in front of the respective electronic knob. One blue and two green LEDs light up once for a long time. Hold the master card in front of the respective electronic knob again. Then one green and two red LEDs light up once for a long time.
