About ApplicCFG and MonitorCFG Passwords

Access to the ApplicCFG and MonitorCFG menus is protected by a
password (passcode). The password prompt for the ApplicCFG menu is
"Passcode1?". The password prompt for the MonitorCFG menu is "Pass-
code2?".
The factory-default password is '– – – –' for both menus, but it can be
changed for each menu. If changing a password, it is limited to a four-but-
ton sequence and can only be changed for the current menu (ApplicCFG
or MonitorCFG) you are working in. A different password should be used
for each mode and access to either of these configuration modes should
be limited only to trained technicians. If you change the passwords for
each menu, be sure to record and keep them in a safe place.
As an example, to change the password for the ApplicCFG menu:
1. From the RUN menu, press  twice to view the ApplicCFG menu.
The "Passcode1?" prompt appears.
2. Enter '– – – –' or '****' (where '****' is the new password) to enter the
ApplicCFG menu. Note that '*' is displayed on the screen for each
character entered.
3. Press  repeatedly until the "Chng PSCD1?" prompt appears. Press
'+' to answer Yes. The message "NewPasscode?" appears.
4. Enter the new password using the , '+', or '–' buttons. The "New-
Passcode?" prompt appears. Enter the new password a second time.
The message "PSCD Changed" will be displayed.
If you enter the password incorrectly, the "Chng PSCD1?" prompt ap-
pears. Carefully re-enter the password twice in succession.
5. Press  to view the prompt "Save CFG?" and press '+' to save the
new password.

IMPORTANT
Pressing '+' will cause the new password to be saved to the EEPROM;
NOTE
the old password will be lost. If the new password is not saved, the pre-
vious password will be used following a system reset or power-up.
