XDEFENCE™ Tool Management 40V max XGT® Communication Adapter

The Makita XDefence™ XGT® Communication Adapter (ADP13) is for use with XGT® equipment and tools (all sold separately) and is the key to unlock the XDefence Tool Management solution. XDefence allows users to code multiple functions to a fleet or a specific tool or battery including theft deterrence, notepad functions. Ownership information, battery timer setting, Tool and Battery Checker functions. Makita Tool Management software is required, which is free to download for PC and MAC compatible.

Theft-Deterrent function is enabled when a unique 4-digit PIN security code is set and registered to a specific tool and battery. The tool and battery will work like normal as long as the PIN-Coding matches and does not require any further operation. PIN Codes can be set for digit PIN security code for one tool and battery or an entire fleet of tools with Stand-Alone mode coding.

The Notepad Function allows for creating custom notes for a specific tool or battery, up to 52 characters for tools and 20 characters for batteries. The freeform Notepad Function allows for saving service dates, user assignments, job site information or more.

The Battery Timer Setting function allows setting up an expiration time on the battery by hours or a specific date up to two years later to control when tools and batteries can be used.

The Tool Checker function provides the tool operation counts, number of times a protective function has been activated on a tool such as overload protection, over heat, motor lock occurrence and AFT® (only for tools that are equipped with AFT®). Battery Information checker provides battery usage status, capacity, temperature and voltage information.

There are two Operation Mode settings that can be selected when coding your tool or battery, Stand-Alone and Communication Mode. Stand-Alone Mode is for batch coding of PIN codes and notes with quick-setting on batteries and tools. In Stand-Alone mode, users can code up to 10 batteries or tools in 1 minute. Communication Mode is used for tool checker and battery checker functions and for pairing specific tools and batteries together.
