Setting a Password

Locking the Precis HT control panel can prevent accidental switching by disabling control access. The
control panel's Level Keys (FIG. 27) are used to enter the password for locking and unlocking the
control panel.
The numbers in the password correspond to the Level Keys. In order from left to right, the Level Keys
represent the numbers "0" to "7."
The factory default password is the first five Level Keys (corresponding to the digits, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4),
going from left to right. Using XNConnect, you can customize a password consisting of five digits
between 0 and 7 (inclusive) that are entered on the control panel using the Level Keys.

For information on using the password to lock and unlock the control panel, see page 43.
To set the control panel password:
1.
In the Hardware View, right-click the front panel icon.
(If the front panel icon is not displayed, double-click the Precis HT icon.)
2.
From the drop-down menu, select Set Password.
The Set Control Panel Password dialog box opens.
3.
Enter a single digit between zero and seven (inclusive) in each field.
4. To load the password to the system's configuration file now, check the box for Configure Password
Immediately.
Click OK.
The updated password information is immediately downloaded to the system, and the new
password sequence must be used to lock and unlock the control panel.
Or
Load the configuration file onto the system (see page 53).
If the password is the only modification that has been made to the file, select "Configure All
Passwords" (found under Configure \ Configure Special – Hardware). This selection only loads
control panel password configuration data to the system.
Important: Configure All will not load password information.
5.
From the File menu, select Save As, make a duplicate copy of the modified file with a new name,
and save it to the PC. (We strongly recommend making a duplicate copy every time the file is
modified.)
