FINCH II Display Hardware Lock Setting

Each FINCH II display is equipped with a Hardware Lock feature that protects the configuration settings from unauthorized changes. As a result of this feature, operators will be unable to modify the FILL and FALL alarm settings while using the Titan truck in the field.

This security measure can be set by qualified technicians from the FINCH display circuit board, ensuring that the configured settings remain intact and unaltered.

This Hardware Lock feature is controlled through the following two B-DIP switches on the FINCH circuit board: 

• B-DIP 1 (B1)
• B-DIP 4 (B4) 

Setting Up the Hardware Lock Feature: 

1.  Power ON your Titan System. 

2.  Open the FINCH display enclosure by unscrewing the two screws securing the door.

3.  Locate the DIP switches on the circuit board. Ensure the power to the FINCH display is ON.

4.   Set DIP B-4 switch DOWN (OFF). This switch controls whether the other switches can be changed. It’s important that this switch is OFF during this process. 

5.  Set DIP B-1 switch UP (ON) to lock out the FILL and FALL configuration from the FINCH Display.  

6.  Now, set  DIP B-4 switch UP (ON) to ensure no other DIP switch change can be made by unauthorized operators. This switch also enables the FINCH display to connect with Titan's mobile applications.

Ensure your B-DIP switch matches the image below. 

7.   Once both the DIP B-1 AND B-4  switches are updated, ensuring they are updated in the order listed above, close the enclosure and secure the door by tightening the two screws. 

8.   Power down the Titan System and turn it back on. 

Once the power has cycled, no one will be able to make any alterations to the FILL and FALL alarm settings on the FINCH display.
