Transmission to the IDEA electronic key-cutting machine
The Optika device is used to read then transmit the cuts of a bit key directly to the IDEA key-cutting
machine without the aid of a personal computer. Optika can be used as an alternative to the optic reader
on the IDEA key-cutting machine, considerably reducing reading times.
ATTENTION:
•
The cuts on a bit key read by Optika can be transmitted only to the IDEA
electronic key-cutting machine
•
Before transmitting the key to be cut, make sure that:
- the key-cutting machine is live
- the key-cutting machine is not in motion
- OPTIKA and the key-cutting machine are con-
nected with a serial cable with adapter found
in the OPTIONAL KIT (fig. 40).
