OPERATOR ACCESS LEVEL
In addition to the logged out features, Operator access level allows the user to acknowledge alarms, to edit
notes and to perform demand archive operations.
By default, no password is required in order to enter Operator level, but a password can be set either at
Supervisor level or at Engineer level.
If the Auditor feature is enabled, the Operator user is disabled and instead replaced by the 25 User accounts
(see section User Access Level below). However, the User 1 account defaults to a user with a user name of
"Operator" in this instance (with no additional permissions), which can be kept, disabled, modified or overridden
if necessary or desired.
SUPERVISOR ACCESS LEVEL
In addition to the logged out level function, this access level allows the user to view the recorder's configuration,
and to edit some values (such as alarm thresholds). By default, the default password for the Supervisor level is
'100' and this password can be changed in the Instrument area of configuration, either at Supervisor level or at
Engineer level.
When the Auditor feature is enabled, it is regarded as best practise that the Supervisor level is not used at all,
or, at the very least, locked down with a strong password. This can be enforced by disabling the Supervisor level
altogether (refer to the 'Sup Log Disabled' parameter in Section 6.1.6). With the Supervisor disabled, only the
Engineer level can view (and change) the instrument's configuration.
ENGINEER ACCESS LEVEL
This allows full access to all areas of the recorder configuration. The default password is 100, but this can – and
should – be edited in the Instrument area of configuration (Section 6.1.5). It is recommended that a strong
password be used.
Note: Recording is stopped for as long as the user is logged in at Engineer
level, even if the recorder is not being configured. This is indicated by
the Record icon at the bottom left corner of the process value display
screen being replaced by the Configuration (wrench) icon.
If the Auditor feature is enabled, it is recommended to only use the Engineering level within the context of a
formal change control procedure.
USER ACCESS LEVEL
If the Auditor feature is enabled, an additional 25 user accounts are available which can be configured to provide
customisable levels of permission on a per-account basis. When this is done, the standard Operator Access
Level is disabled, and the Logged Out user has no permissions. When logging in as one of these 25 user
accounts, the account number (1 to 25) is prefixed to the user name. Refer to Section 6.1.11 for details on how
to configure these user accounts and the permissions available to be assigned to each. Failed login attempts
are written to the history, as is the user being disabled if a maximum number of failed login attempts is
exceeded.
LOGIN PROCEDURE
From the top level menu, use the up or down arrow keys as often as necessary in order to highlight 'Login', and
then operate the Scroll key to produce the 'Access Logged out' display.
Note: This procedure describes how to login to an access level with a password associated with it.
For non-password protected logins, the user needs only to select the required access level,
and press the scroll key.
