PROGRAMMING A SECURITY CODE

Upon power up you are allowed to enter a security code to restrict access to programming functions. When the unit displays “SECURITY CODE”, press from one to four Day of the Week keys. This is your security code. The ERASE EVENT key can be used to clear the code for re-entry. Press the RUN key to advance the programming when you are satisfied with the security code. The unit will prompt “UNSECURED MANUAL FWD TO CHANGE.” If this selection is chosen, only the programming functions will require the security code to be accessed. MANUAL, START LUNCH, and START BREAK will be unsecured. Pressing the selection requires the security code to be entered prior to both accessing the programming functions and using the MANUAL, START LUNCH, and START BREAKS keys. The remote START LUNCH and START BREAK switches do not require the security code to activate Lunch or Break schedules. After choosing the level of security desired, press the RUN key to advance to the normal display.

If unlimited access to all functions is desired (no security), press the RUN key without pressing any Day of the Week keys when the unit prompts for the security code. The unit will advance to the normal display and no security code will be required to access any function.

To change or view the security code, remove the left side panel, toggle Dip Switch 2, and return it to the desired position. The current security code will be displayed. Replace the side panel. To change the code, press the ERASE EVENT key to clear the current code and program the new code in the same manner as described above. If you do not wish to change the code, press the RUN key until the normal display returns.
