4.1 INTRODUCTION

4.1.1 General Guidance

We recommend to program the PowerMaxExpress on the
work bench before actual installation. Operating power
may be obtained from the backup battery or from the AC
power supply.
The installer's menu is accessible only to those who know
the installer's 4-digit code, which is 9999 by factory default.
Note: Access to the installer menu, in PowerMaxExpress
that has "User Permission" enabled (for example in UK) is
accessible only at the end of the user menu. This option can
be changed if necessary (see par. 4.4.36).
For PowerMaxExpress that has 2 installer codes (not
applicable in UK), the default INSTALLER code is 8888
and the default MASTER INSTALLER code is 9999.
The following actions can be done only by using the
master installer code:
 Changing master installer code.
 Resetting the PowerMaxExpress parameters to the
default parameters,
 Defining

gaining initial access, and replace it with a secret code
known only to yourself.
You will mainly use 5 control pushbuttons during the entire
programming process:
- to move one step forward in a menu.
- to move one step backward in a menu.
- to enter the relevant menu or confirm data.

normal operating mode (by timeout).

completion of an operation.
