 Activating/Deactivating Tags
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 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 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.
Unlocking the S-TAD
For added security, access to
activating/deactivating Tags is locked via 4-digit
user codes.
1. Press the Power/Clear button.
The Power/Clear LED illuminates (solid
green with wink).

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

activating/deactivating Tags.
