The settings for the Lock Counter/Timers are stored in a sepa-
rate EEprom. replacing it will immediately lock up the system (A
‘Dead Beef’ error will be displayed on the LCD). If a tampering
counter has been set, changing the main configuration EEprom
without also moving the Lock Counter/Timers EEprom will cause
the tampering sensor to be triggered. Changing, or even com-
pletely removing the real time clock chip will have no effect upon
the Lock Counter/Timers.
The counters all will expire as the decrement to a negative

years. A letter follows expired/cleared Lock Counter/Timers to show
what type of timer it was prior to being cleared/expired.
