IEI PowerKey AC Programming Guide
Step 1. Install the IEI PowerKey AC following installation instructions.
Step 2. Make a list of users and the code numbers you wish to assign to each of them. The codes may be 1 - 6 digits long.
Users can be programmed with a “type” designation to perform different functions:
Type 1 - A normal user which may start and operate the controlled equipment
Type 3 - A lock out user code which prevents all Type 1 users from operating the equipment.
Users List:

Step 3. Defi ne the operating parameters of the controlled equipment. After a valid code is entered power is available to the
saw (for example). The operator may start or stop the saw as necessary. A timer in the PowerKey AC starts each time the
saw is stopped. If the saw is stopped for longer than the programmed time, the power will be turned off. The operator must
reenter the code to use the saw again. Determine a time from 10-990 seconds that you think would be required for the
operator to set up the saw between cuts.
PROGRAMMING:
Once you have prepared the information above you are ready to begin programming. To access the
programming mode on the PowerKey AC, press the following sequence on the keypad: 99 # Master code *
The master code is always assigned to user #1. This code comes from the factory as 1234. You should
change this to your own number. To enter programming mode for a new unit press: 99 #1234* When the
PowerKey AC is in programming mode, the Yellow LED fl ashes about once a second.
While you are in programming mode you may use the following command sequences to program functions.
To exit programming mode press the * key several times or wait 45 seconds and the unit will return to normal
