Security Levels
The security level feature allows you to limit access to the
menus, setpoint, and operating mode selection according to
the needs of your application. The security levels provided
are Key Lockout, Setpoint, Setpoint plus Mode, User,
Configuration, and Factory. To view or change security
level from the Process Variable display, press and hold the
Menu Access key for approximately 10 seconds.
(Ignore the menu label that will appear in the upper display
after approximately three seconds.) The controller will display
(Access Level) and the current security level label,
e.g., . Use the Raise or Lower keys to index
through the security levels. Press the Mode/Enter key
once to select the new security level desired and return to the
Process Value display.
The controller’s initial
security level, set at the
factory, is Configuration
. When you have
completed configuring
the instrument, we
recommend the security
level be set to the most
restrictive level suitable
for your application.
