The end of milled channels must be beneath the illuminators in any case. So-
metimes the profile and the surface condition of the key do not allow it to ex-
tend completely (the left-hand bar could be half-way). With a left-hand bar below
70% of the total, key recognition is either not good and/or wrong.
If the upper bar is not a thin line on the display, turn the clamp/key slightly right
or left until it reaches the best possible condition.
However, it is important that the outline of the profile is well defined; at ti-
mes it is necessary to find a compromise between the thickness of the up-
per alignment bar and the image of the profile.

For bit keys, if the profile appears to slope (fig. 24), it must be aligned horizontally so that the
cuts can be read properly.
- If the key has been rotated a great deal to do this, the previous step MUST be repeated
(“view cuts”) so that cut sizes can be read properly.
- Then, turn the clamp/key slightly to the left or right until the top bar shows a thin line (fig.
23). Make sure the profile outline is well defined with reference to the “profile luminosity
bar”.

If the first search gives no results the display will show the following message:
The search has produced no results. Among possible causes:
-
incorrect positioning of the key,
-

ch.6.1.1) and read the key again.
If the second search produces no results, the following message will appear:
By pressing ENTER, a search with temporarily broader parameters will be
launched ( the original parameters are never modified).
If the broad search produces no results the following display will appear:
At this point the search has not been able to find any proper reference among Silca or User profiles.

SPECIAL CASES
a) SMALL FLAT KEY - HEAD STOP (WITH PLASTIC HEAD)
If the distance between the end of the plastic part and the stop is small, impeding proper viewing of the
stop cursor, proceed as follows:
1) Lower the clamp-opening lever (B) and without exerting pressure fit the key into the clamp until the
stop is visible (fig. 27-1) and the cursor is in the right position.
2) Align the upper bar and press ENTER; in this way the stem length reading is precise.
3) Pull the key out slightly (fig. 27-2), release the clamp-opening lever to keep the key in place, then with
the alignment bar centred and illumination bar up, press ENTER.
Fig. 27
b) VEHICLE KEY WITH LASER TYPE CUTS
With a cut key the profile is read properly and recognized only if the cuts have not touched or altered
the part used for recognition.

Key Matching
Function used to compare (assess) the difference in the cutting values of one or more cut keys with an
original key. The function also checks compatibility of the key profile with the original.
Note: the device detects and indicates the differences found, and does not give a result regarding
the functionality of the cut key.
ATTENTION:the key matching function is currently not available for key types:
•
Flat (for cylinders or vehicles) with double asymmetrical cuts (different cuts on the 2 sides).
•
Dimple keys
•
Laser type keys
•
Special bit keys (special female front stop and
special square stem) with unusual stems or bits:
•
Bit keys with shoulder stop
This type of key is run only in “Key matching” and “Key copy” modes and requires the use of a special
adapter. Use of the adapter is explained in ch. 5.4.4, page 14.
•
Special keys as indicated in the following chart:
Note: as these keys are duplicates, make sure they are carefully cleaned (profile and cuts) (use the
brush provided).
Note: for more accurate cut comparisons, follow all the key fitting procedures in ch.5 and all the
instructions in ch.6.

6.2.2
MATCHING FROM "LAST READING"
Last Reading: in Optika’s memory there is always the last key read (regardless of whether the “Key
Search” or "Key matching" functions have been used). Therefore, if with an “original” key the “Key
Search” function had been used to find the corresponding reference, the copy made can be compared
by using “Last Reading”. The same applies if a number of copies made from the same “original” have
to be compared.
The “New Reading” function is used if the “original” key to be compared with the copy was not the
subject of a search or already compared.
ATTENTION: if “Last Reading” has been chosen and a type of key different from that in the memory (e.g. bit and
head stop) is fitted into the clamp, the display shows an anomaly message:
6.2.3
POSSIBLE ERRORS DURING "CUT MATCHING"
ERRORS 13 and 14:
It happens when there isn’t a correct alignment between the two keys in terms of spaces and depths
references. The possible causes could be: keys too different or not compatible.
ERRORS 15 and 16:
It happens when the device SW can’t calculate the average error of spaces and depths of the cuttings.
The possible causes could be: the keys are too different or the gap between the two cuttings is too high.
The message indicates that there is too much difference between the cuts and they cannot be compared
within the limits defined by the program. Check that the two keys compared are similar and repeat the
procedure, if necessary. If the error remains try comparing the original key and copied key turned 180°.

Key copy
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).
Fig. 40
The cuts on the key to be read with Optika can be transmitted to the key-cutting machine in the
following ways:
6.3.1
Transmission from main menu
In the main menu select the “Key copy” icon:
1) press ENTER
2) select the type of bit key to be read
3) continue as with an ordinary search
In the place of the results of an ordinary search the material selection and num-
ber of pieces menu will appear.
4) Turn the ENTER knob to select the field.
•
the selected field will be highlighted in yellow.

•
press ESC to return to the main menu
•
press ENTER to transmit the cuts to the key-cutting machine
Note: the job will be received by IDEA in the “PC queue” and any jobs already in the queue will be
deleted.
6.3.2
Transmission at the end of a search
When the results of a search for a bit key profile are shown, press ENTER to access the following menu:
1) select the item “Key copy”
2) press ENTER.
3) the menu for entering material and number of pieces will appear
4) continue as described above
6.3.3
Possible errors during communication with the key-cutting machine
Appears during transmission, when the key-cutting machine is unable to receive data because it is on
start-up or in motion.
Appears if the key cutting machine connected to Optika is not the required one.
Appears if during transmission there is an interruption in the serial connection or an error in the

DISPOSAL
For correct disposal please refer to current standards.
INFORMATION FOR USERS OF PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT
From "Actuation of Directive 2012/19/EU regarding Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE)"
The symbol of a crossed waste bin found on equipment or its packing indicates that at the end of the
product’s useful life it must be collected separately from other waste so that it can be properly treated
and recycled.
In particular, separate collection of this professional equipment when no longer in use is organised and
managed:
a) directly by the user when the equipment was placed on the market before 31 December 2010 and the
user personally decides to eliminate it without replacing it with new equivalent equipment designed for
the same use;
b) by the manufacturer, that is to say the subject which was the first to introduce and market new equip-
ment that replaces previous equipment, when the user decides to eliminate equipment placed on the
market before 31 December 2010 at the end of its useful life and replace it with an equivalent product
designed for the same use. In this latter case the user may ask the manufacturer to collect the existing
equipment;
c)
by the manufacturer, that is to say the subject which was the first to introduce and market new equip-
ment that replaces previous equipment, if it was placed on the market after 31 December 2010;
Suitable separate collection for the purpose of forwarding discarded equipment for recycling, treatment
or disposal in an environmentally friendly way helps to avoid possible negative effects on the
environment and human health and encourages re-use and/or recycling of the materials making up the
equipment.
The sanctions currently provided for by law shall apply to users who dispose of products in unauthorised
ways.
