The user password may be changed or recharged by the supervisor at any time. Each time a security opera-
tion is performed, a charge is debited against that supervisor password, with the remaining number of charges
advised via the scanner display. When this number reduces to 22 or less, the supervisor is advised to apply for
a new password, which cannot be done before this time. Application for a second, and subsequent supervisor
passwords, is made via the Password Renewal form, which should be completed and faxed to Omitech Instru-
mentation, together with a printout from the 'Set Up' menu which is required for security data analysis. A small
administrative charge will be made for the second and subsequent passwords.
System Check (Not applicable on Cobra cars)
This may be selected from the main menu in order to check the operation of the door switches and
immobilisation system. Select 'Level 2' from the subsequent menu, and follow the instructions displayed on
the scanner.
Note: 'Disarming alarm using key access codes/transmitter' - Key access codes are not applicable to the Elise;
Disarm using the transmitter.
ECM Matching
This facility is available from the 'Set Up' - 'User' menu, and is required if either a MEMS 1.9 ECM, or 5AS
Security ECM is replaced. The 5AS module sends a coded signal to the MEMS module in order for the
immobilisation feature to operate, and if either module is replaced, the MEMS module must be programmed to
recognise the signal.
Note that the last eight digits of the Vehicle Identification Number are required to be entered, but that the
third of these digits is called for as an alpha character rather than the actual numeric; For this purpose, disre-
gard the third character.
Transmitter Matching (Not applicable o n Cobra cars)
Each transmitter key has a unique coded signal which the 5AS unit must be programmed to recognise.
Up to four transmitters may be matched with a module, but all must be available and matched in the course of
one operation.
Select 'Set Up' - 'User', and after entering the password and VIN (see above), select 'Transmitter' and
follow the displayed instructions.
User Password Changing or Recharging
Select 'Set Up' - 'Supervisor', and enter the supervisor password. Follow instructions displayed.
