Operator Password
If you define a password for operators, then a password will be required to carry out any function (other than reviewing station and pump status, silencing alarms, reviewing the alarm log, and looking at help screens). Entering the operator’s password will give the user access to the functions at the following screens:
•Station Status (to enable or disable a station, and start or stop system)
•Pump Status (to enable or disable a pump, and start or stop system)
•Station Operator (to adjust a station’s convey time and dump delay, activate priority convey, and review the station’s last convey time and pump assignment; depending on the options installed, the screen may also enable the operator to adjust the purge time.
Entering the setup password will give the user access to all functions.
Note: If you want to protect the operator’s functions with a password, you must also define a setup password. If you leave the setup password undefined, then all users will have access to all functions.
If you want two different levels of password protection, you must make the passwords different from each other. If the two passwords are the same. Then any user who enters the password will have access to all functions.
To set (or remove) password protections, complete the following steps:
1.Go to the “System Setup” screen by touching the SYSTEM button on any screen.
2.On the “System Setup” screen, touch the Operator Password button or the Setup Password button, depending on which password you want to set up. A keypad pops up, with an entry of 0.
3.Enter up to four digits. If you want to remove password protection, enter 0 as the password. Use CLR to erase any mistakes. Use ENT to enter the value. The keypad disappears, and the “System Setup” screen shows the password you entered.
Note: When entering a password, all four digits must be supplied. For example, if you enter a password of 2 here, you will need to enter 0002 when the controller prompts for the password.
If desired, you can also change the duration for which a password remains effective. During operation, the
Note: The password timer starts when the user logs on. It expires even if the user is actively using the screens when the chosen time is up. If the timer expires, the system goes to the “Station Status” screen. Your password duration should be long enough to allow authorized users to complete their tasks but short enough to provide adequate protection against tampering.
