9.1 Confirmation ID (Password Feature)
The relay incorporates the confirmation ID for settings.
A confirmation ID (shown as Password in the device LCD display) serves to prevent users from carrying out
critical operations inadvertently. By entering the confirmation ID for settings, the chances of performing oper-
ations inadvertently with potentially failure-inducing effects are reduced.
The programmable confirmation ID feature enables the user to enter a 4-character alphanumeric code to
perform setting changes in the relay. The confirmation ID in factory supplied relay is set to NONE, that is, the
confirmation ID feature is disabled. The confirmation ID must be entered twice as a measure against acci-
dental changes. Once a confirmation ID is entered, then it is required thereafter to change the settings. Confir-
mation IDs can be deactivated by using the confirmation ID to gain access and by setting the confirmation ID
to NONE. To deactivate the confirmation ID feature, enter the confirmation ID twice.
As soon as the you attempt to change a setting or initiate control,the confirmation ID is requested before any
changes are allowed. Once the confirmation ID has been validated, the user is not prompted for the confirma-
tion ID for the next 1 hour. If no more changes are made within 1 hour, then the confirmation ID prompts are
automatically activated.
The confirmation ID prevents from unauthorized changes to settings from the front fascia or over the data
communication channels.
The confirmation ID validation screen also displays a numerical code. If the confirmation ID is lost or forgotten,
you can communicate this code to the Siemens customer support representatives and the confirmation ID can
be retrieved.
The 7SR45 Argus relay allows you to set the confirmation ID via SETTING MODE > SYSTEM CONFIG > Pass-
word. The length of the confirmation ID must be 4 characters.
NOTE

Only alphanumeric and 3 special characters such as +, –, and / are allowed.
The confirmation ID can be disabled by configuring it as NONE.
From the parameter view screen, you can enter the confirmation ID and press ENTER for validation. If the
entered confirmation ID is valid, the next screen appears. If the confirmation ID is invalid, LCD displays the
confirmation ID retry screen again.
After the successful log on and editing of parameter, the confirmation ID prompt screen does not appear until
the log on expires.
If you do not perform any operations for more than 1 min, the login expires and unsaved settings are
discarded.
