Note: The S-TAD has not been evaluated by UL.
The S-TAD (Secure Tag Activator/Deactivator)
is used to check the functionality of an Accutech
Tag. Accutech Tags operate by internal battery.
Over the course of normal operation, Tags
eventually lose battery power and the Tags will
need to be replaced. The Tag battery is not
replaceable. The S-TAD is used to determine if a
Tag has sufficient battery power to respond to an
activating signal. The S-TAD requires a 9-volt
lithium battery to operate.
Powering the S-TAD On/Off
The S-TAD includes a built-in power saving
feature that automatically turns off the S-TAD
after a period of inactivity.
1. Press the Power/Clear button
The Power/Clear LED illuminates (solid
green with wink).
The LED will remain lit for 1 minute.
While nearing the 1 minute mark, the
LED will begin to pulse until the LED
turns faster pulsing red and then
extinguishes while powering off the
S-TAD.
To extend the length of time, press the
Power/Clear button again anytime
before the LED turns off. Each press
will extend by 1 minute (up to 5 minutes
maximum).
2. Conversely you may manually power
off the S-TAD by pressing and holding
the Power/Clear button until the LED
turns solid red then let go and the Power
LED will extinguish.
Unlocking the S-TAD
For added security, access to
activating/deactivating Tags is locked via 4-digit
user codes. See Programming Mode for more
information about user codes.
1. Press the Power/Clear button.
The Power/Clear LED illuminates
(solid green with wink).
2. Using the number keypad, enter a valid
4-digit user code. Entering a valid code
will illuminate the Enter LED (solid
green) for about 5 seconds. Once the
Enter LED illuminates, press the Enter
button again. The WAIT LED will
illuminate (red) for 2 seconds to
confirm activation/deactivation action.
The Enter LED will then remain lit for 1
minute for the purpose of
activating/deactivating Tags.
Notes:
 The default user code is 7139.
See the Programming Mode section
to change the default user code.
 Entering an invalid code will
illuminate the Enter LED red.
Verify your user code is valid. Press
Power/Clear before reentering your
code to clear any inadvertent
previous entries.
 Once lit, each time you press the
Enter button will extend the Enter
LED life briefly (up to 1 minute by
default).
 Pressing the Power/Clear button will
clear out the user code. Otherwise,
after 1 minute of inactivity the Enter
LED will extinguish automatically.
