For example the Level 1 Password provides a system operator with access to day-to-day system
operations, e.g. resetting alarms, checking the number of hours to the next Certified Sensor
calibration, etc.
Level 2 Password could be assigned to a technician who needs to carry out more difficult
operations such as calibrating the Certified Sensor.
Level 3 Password is for the system administrator to initially set and subsequently change
passwords.
Once the three levels of password are specified then they are assigned to users by the system
administrator depending on their access authority.
Each password consists of a sequence of control button presses.
When prompted during menu use, the user enters the current four-digit password required by pressing
the four buttons in the correct sequence.
The entered password is represented on the LCD screen using asterisk
characters (*).
Notes:
1. The last keystroke is not displayed on the screen. If the password is correct then the menu
action previously selected is implemented immediately. If it is not correct the asterisks are
cleared and the user must enter the correct password to proceed.
2. The default password supplied when the unit is first delivered is entered by pressing the
(ok, up, down and down) buttons in sequence. This provides initial access to all
of the menus.
The password level hierarchy allows the following:
• Functions available at Level 1 can also be accessed by using the Level 2 or
Level 3 passwords.
• Functions available at Level 2 can also be accessed by using the Level 3 password.
They cannot be accessed by Level 1.
• Functions available at Level 3 can only be accessed by using the Level 3 password.
They cannot be accessed by Level 1 or Level 2.
Note: After changing, the three passwords can also be reset to the default value. Resetting all the
passwords can only be carried out by the system administrator (see 4.3.2).
