8.3 LEVEL 3: FEATURES

This section manages the extra operating features of the system.

SUB-LEVEL FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

This section defines the System Lock feature, which prevents unauthorized access to the control panel. The
code acts as a bypass (factory default is 247); once it has been entered, the control is fully accessible.
Once the deck is restored and/or the restraint released, the system lock reactivates. It also reactivates if the
code is entered but no further action occurs for 60 seconds.

0 Off Disable feature

1 By Restraint The shelter powers on after the restraint is engaged or bypassed, and continues until fully
inflated. Releasing the restraint deflates the shelter

2 By Deck The shelter powers on after the 'Deck' button is touched, and continues until fully inflated.
The deck can then be deployed. To deflate the shelter, park the dock.

• When the 'Standalone Wait' function setting is set to 'No Wait,' the shelter deflates
Auto immediately after the dock is parked
2 • When the 'Standalone Wait' function is set to 'Door Closed,' the shelter deflates after

2. Ensure that there is no ICC bar or obstruction in the path of the arm.

3. Enter the System Menu and navigate to DIAGNOSTICS - SVR LEARN

4. Press "*" to start the procedure.

The arm should rise to maximum travel, the lock should engage, the arm retracts to the lock position, lock disengages, and arm
returns to the home position.

If the procedure has been successful, the control will briefly display the Max and Lock positions it has learned. The settings will
automatically saved. The control will then return to the normal running mode and the restraint is ready for use.
