Interrupting operation of equipment involves interrupting process before expiry of defined period by entering release code coinciding with reference code or returning to first activation state

摘要

The method involves storing a reference code (R1,R2), measuring the time from the first use of the device and interrupting the energy bearer and/or operating medium after a defined period. The process can be interrupted before the expiry of the defined period by entering a release code (C1,C2) coinciding with the reference code or returned to the state at first activation. If the release code is entered the energy bearer and/or operating medium continues to be provided. Independent claims are also included for the following: an arrangement for interrupting the operation of equipment and the application of the method to domestic, trade and industrial technical equipment.
