Password protection

Password protection prevents write access via the device interface and the
communication interfaces, in particular:
• Changing of device settings, including password.
• Changing and deletion of values/parameters.
• Deletion of data and memory content.
• Setting and resetting of counts.
• Resetting to factory settings.
Reading out of measured values and memory content is still possible when password
protection is active.
As soon as the password has been entered in the device once, it is not requested again as
long as the "SETTINGS" menu level remains active.
The password policy is a four-digit number from 0000 to 9999. (Default password: 0000)
If no user-specific password has been assigned, the default password must be entered when
password protection is switched on. The currently valid password becomes visible on the
display when password protection is switched off. The password remains saved and becomes
effective again the next time password protection is switched on.
Note
Before switching on password protection, make sure that you and the group of authorized
users are
all in possession of the password.
If password protection is switched on, you need the password for all changes to the device
settings. You also require the password to call the "PASSWORD" dialog box
again in order to switch off access protection or to change the password.
Note
If you have forgotten the password, please contact Technical Support. You will receive a new
password from them.
