VR2250

8.1.6. How to enable/disable the password

The instrument is provided with a protective routine to avoid the risk of being disturbed or
interrupted during a recording or an energy measurement. Once a recording or a direct
energy measurement has been started (with the option "PASSWORD" enabled), after
about 3 minutes from the last key pressure or switch rotation it won't be possible to press
START/STOP to stop the recording, "PASSWORD" will be displayed and it will be
necessary to insert the password.
In order to insert the password (which is not changeable), press the multifunction keys in
the following sequence (within 10 seconds):
F1, F4, F3, F2
If you wait more than about 10 seconds the display will return to the meter mode and the
instrument will continue recording. If you insert a wrong password the message "Password
error" will be displayed under "PASSWORD". After a few seconds the display will return to
meter mode and the instrument will continue recording. In order to enable/disable this
option the correct password will have to be entered. The display will return to meter mode
and START/STOP will have to be pressed again to stop the recording. You will then need
to re-enter the "ANALYZER CONFIG" menu and scroll up or down to the item
"PASSWORD: ON" using the multifunction keys F1 and F2. Then turn the password off by
pressing the multifunction keys F3 and F4.
