Emergency device code
VEGAPULS 6X • Two-wire 4 ... 20 mA/HART
To protect the parameterization, the device can be locked by the user
with the aid of a freely selectable device code. The settings (param-
eters) can then only be read out, but not changed. The device code
is also stored in the adjustment tool. However, unlike the Bluetooth
access code, it must be re-entered for each unlock. When using the
adjustment app or DTM, the stored device code is then suggested to
the user for unlocking.
The emergency device code allows unlocking the device in case the
device code is no longer known. It can't be changed. The emergency
device code can also be found on the supplied information sheet " Ac-
cess protection". If this document is lost, the emergency device code
can be retrieved from your personal contact person after legitimation.
The storage and transmission of the device codes is always encrypt-
ed (SHA 256 algorithm).

Storing the codes in myVEGA
If the user has a " myVEGA" account, then the Bluetooth access code
as well as the device code are additionally stored in his account under
" PINs and Codes". This greatly simplifies the use of additional adjust-
ment tools, as all Bluetooth access and device codes are automati-
cally synchronized when connected to the " myVEGA" account
