On the Subject of Wireswords

These wires don't seem to meet PAT testing requirements: adequate insulation, up to date labelling, secure connections with grounding leak prevention.

  • A panel can have 2-5 wires on it, each of which is an encoded letter.
  • Use the buttons above and below each panel to cycle through the possibilities for each panel.
  • Only one combination of panels will match a password below with wires of the same colour.
  • Only the one correct wire on each panel in this combination needs to be cut to disarm the module.
  • Wire ordering begins with the first wire at the top of the left set of ports.

Cutting Wires:

2 wires:

  • If both encoded letters are present in the serial number, cut the wire that is not an encoded letter in the password.
  • Otherwise, if both wires are the same colour, cut the wire that is an encoded letter in the password.
  • Otherwise, if the panel number is even, cut the last wire.
  • Otherwise cut the first wire.

3 wires:

  • If all wires are different colours and are encodings of different letters, cut the second wire.
  • Otherwise, if there is more than one black wire, cut the first wire.
  • Otherwise, if there are no encoded vowels, cut the last wire that is not an encoded letter in the password.
  • Otherwise cut the wire that is an encoded letter in the password.

4 wires:

  • If the wire that is an encoded letter in the password is the only one of its colour, cut the third wire.
  • Otherwise, if there are less than three distinct wire colours, cut the last wire.
  • Otherwise, if there is exactly one blue wire, cut it.
  • Otherwise, cut the first wire that is not an encoded letter in the password.

5 wires:

  • If the position of the wire that is an encoded letter in the password is the same as the panel number, cut the last wire.
  • Otherwise, if there is more than one of the same encoded letter that is not the encoded letter in the password, cut the third wire.
  • Otherwise, if there are no red wires, cut the second wire.
  • Otherwise cut the fourth wire.

Letter-Wire Encodings:

  • Index into the table of the corresponding wire color using the port at the left set the wire is connected to as row and the port at the right set the wire is connected to as column.
