CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS
The following access supervision settings are available.
INVALID ATTEMPTS BEFORE LOCKOUT
within a three-minute time span before lockout occurs. When lockout occurs, the
FlexLogic operands are set to "On." These operands are returned to the "Off" state upon expiration of the lockout.

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
asserted. 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.

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.
