Security Levels
The controller’s initial security level, set at the factory, is Configuration . When you have completed configuring
the instrument, we recommend the security level be set to the most restrictive level suitable for your application.
The security level feature allows you to limit access to the menus, setpoint, and operating mode selection according to the needs of your application. The security levels provided are Key Lockout, Setpoint, Setpoint plus Mode, User, Configuration, and Factory. To view or change security level from the Process Variable display, press and hold the
Menu Access key for approximately 10 seconds. (Ignore the menu label that will appear in the upper display after approximately three seconds.) The controller will display (Access Level) and the current security level label,
e.g., . Use the Raise or Lower keys to index
through the security levels. Press the Mode/Enter key once to select the new security level desired and return to the Process Value display.
