ION Meter Security

 

 

ION Meter Security

Any configuration changes sent to the meter through its communications ports or its front panel must be validated with the meter’s password (in addition to your ION software password) before the change is set on the meter.

The Meter Password

The meter password is a numeric string of up to eight digits. If Standard security is enabled, the meter password is required when you attempt to make a change to the meter configuration through the front panel or using software such as Vista, Designer, Device Upgrader or ION Setup.

NOTE

The Front Panel Programming setup register in the Display Options module lets you lock out any changes through the front panel. You can set this register using Designer or ION Setup software.

Standard Meter Security

Standard meter security is enabled by default on all ION meters; all configuration functions in the front panel are password-protected. The password is factory-set to 0 (zero).

If you make configuration changes to the meter via the front panel, the meter prompts you for its password before accepting any configuration changes. Similarly, if you make any configuration changes via ION software you are prompted by the meter for its password (in addition to the password used to access ION software). Once you enter the correct meter password and confirm the new configuration, the change is set on the meter.

Note that the front panel will prompt you for the meter password before you make your first configuration change. You will not need to re-enter the password for each subsequent change. However, if you perform no additional configuration changes for five minutes, you will need to re-enter the Setup menu and provide the valid meter password to resume making changes. This is because the meter returns from setup mode to data display mode after five minutes of inactivity.
