Front Panel PIN
Controllers have the ability to restrict certain types of access from the front panel of the unit. It has the
ability to enforce a four-digit Power Identification Number (PIN) requirement for users of the front panel for
certain control/operations and configurable items. These control/operations and configurations are
generally considered the items that will only be done during initial install or by specific personnel. This
feature is shipped disabled from the factory in the standard controller offering and must be enabled by a
remote user with administrator level privileges. When the front panel PIN feature is enabled, the factory
default for the PIN is 0000. Each position of the password is configurable between 0-9. A sample screen like
that following is required for PIN access.
The up, down, left and right arrows are used to enter the appropriate password. Upon entering a correct PIN
the following momentary screen shows up and then disappears leaving the user at the menu location prior
to entering the PIN.
A user must enter the PIN for items that generally are not deemed as functions of a typical maintenance
routine. It is assumed that the majority of the configured thresholds and system operational features will
not be changed through a maintenance routine. Thus, entering the correct PIN will be required in order for
these specific types of parameters or features to be modified in the field. These same rules are implemented
when accessing through the Craft port. In addition to Configuration items, there are some
Control/Operations that also require the PIN. These are shown below.
