1.1 General Guidance

We recommend to program the PowerMax on the work
bench before actual installation. Operating power may be
obtained from the backup battery or from the AC mains.
The installer's menu is accessible only to those who know
the installer's code, which is 9
default.
Obviously, you are expected to use this code only once for
gaining initial access, and replace it with a secret code
known only to yourself (see Section 2).
You will mainly use 5 control pushbuttons throughout the
entire programming process:
- to advance within a given menu.
- to retreat within a given menu.
- to go down one level in the programming
structure or to confirm data.
- to go up one level in the programming structure.
- instant return to the installer menu (top level).
The sounds you will hear while programming are:
- Single beep, heard whenever a key is pressed.
- Double beep, indicates automatic return to the
normal operating mode (by timeout).
☺
- Happy Melody (- - - –––), indicates successful
completion of an operation.
#
- Sad Melody (–––––), indicates a wrong move
or rejection.
