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 (Figure 4), 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 password-
protected screens are available either until the user logs off
or until this time elapses, whichever comes first. This feature
prevents the password from remaining active if a user
forgets to log off.
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.
