CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS
The C70 provides a means to raise an alarm upon failed password entry. If password verification fails while accessing a
password-protected level of the relay (either settings or commands), the
The operand can be programmed to raise an alarm via contact outputs or communications. This feature can be used to
protect against both unauthorized and accidental access attempts.
The operand is reset with the
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS
command. Therefore, to apply this feature with security, password-protect the Command level. The operand does not
generate events or targets.
If events or targets are required, the
event logs or targets enabled.
The following table outlines access level timeout settings.

 DUAL PERMISSION
 SECURITY ACCESS
This feature provides a mechanism to prevent unauthorized or unintended upload of settings to a relay through the local
or remote interface.
The following settings are available through the local (front panel) interface only.
• — This setting is used for local (front panel or RS232 interface) setting access supervision. Valid
LOCAL SETTING AUTH
values for the FlexLogic operands are either "On" (default) or any physical "Contact Input ~~ On" value.
If this setting is "On," then local setting access functions as normal; that is, a local setting password is required. If this
setting is any contact input on FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (on) prior to providing the local
setting password to gain setting access.
If setting access is not authorized for local operation (front panel or RS232 interface) and the user attempts to obtain
setting access, then the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS message displays on the front panel.
If this setting is "Off," firmware upgrades are blocked. If this setting is "On," firmware upgrades are allowed.
• — This setting is used for remote (Ethernet or RS485 interface) setting access supervision.
REMOTE SETTING AUTH
If this setting is "On" (the default setting), then remote setting access functions as normal; that is, a remote password is
required. If this setting is "Off," then remote setting access is blocked even if the correct remote setting password is
provided. If this setting is any other FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (set as on) prior to
providing the remote setting password to gain setting access.
If this setting is "Off," firmware upgrades are blocked. If this setting is "On," firmware upgrades are allowed.
