Case CX130 Security Code System

[MikePhua]

The Case CX130 excavator is equipped with an anti-theft security system that requires an access code to start the engine. This feature enhances equipment security, particularly for machines operating in open or unsecured environments.
Activating the Security System
To activate the security system:

1. Turn the Starter Switch: Place the starter switch key in the "ON" position.
   
2. Engage the Anti-Theft Device: Turn the starter switch from "ON" to "OFF" and back to "ON" repeatedly, approximately every two seconds. Continue this cycle until the audible alarm sounds, indicating that the anti-theft device is now active.
   
3. Shutdown Procedure: When shutting down the engine, turn the starter switch key to the "OFF" position. If the anti-theft device was activated during the shutdown, the system will require the entry of the access code upon the next startup.
   

Entering the Access Code
To start the engine after the anti-theft device has been activated:

1. Turn the Starter Switch: Place the starter switch key in the "ON" position.
   
2. Access Code Prompt: The display screen will show the message "Password" along with four blank boxes.
   
3. Input the Code: Using the control buttons:
   • Press button (1) the number of times corresponding to the first digit of your code. For example, press once for "1", twice for "2", and so on.
     
   • Press button (2) to move to the next digit.
     
   • Repeat this process for all four digits of your access code.
     
4. Confirm the Code: After entering all four digits, press button (2) to confirm. If the code is correct, the engine will start. If the code is incorrect, the system will not allow the engine to start.
   

Deactivating the Security System
To deactivate the security system:

1. Locate the Security Wire: Behind the operator's seat, there is a wire in the harness that must be connected to another wire to deactivate the security function.
   
2. Disconnect the Wire: If you prefer not to use the security system, disconnecting this wire will disable the feature. However, this is not recommended as it reduces the security of the equipment.
   

Important Notes

• Record the Access Code: It is crucial to keep a record of your access code in a secure location. If the code is forgotten, it may not be possible to enter a new one without consulting your Case dealer.
  
• Dealer Assistance: If you need to reset or change the access code, contact your authorized Case dealer for assistance.
  
• Security Considerations: While deactivating the security system may seem convenient, it is advisable to keep the system active to protect your equipment from unauthorized use.
  

In summary, the Case CX130's security code system is a valuable feature for safeguarding your equipment. Proper activation, code management, and understanding of the system's operations are essential for maintaining security and ensuring smooth operation.
