Badger Meter M-Series M5000 - Manual (Page 21)

SECURITY
The M5000 security feature allows the option to restrict access to the meter by way of a 6-digit Personal Identification Number
(PIN) . The system administrator can set up a single PIN for each of the three different levels of access:
•
Administration – allows access to all M5000 menu configuration screens .
• Service – allows access to service-level and user-level menu configuration screens .
• User – allows access only to user-level menu configuration screens .
OTEE: N For a lost PIN, Contact Badger Meter Technical Support at 800-456-5023 for a replacement PIN .
Not all levels of access need to be set . If no PINs are set up, any M5000 user will have access to all functions .
OTEE: N The security settings will also apply to remote access . All remote writes via Modbus to the meter will be blocked
unless the user is remotely logged in .
