Using the Write-Protect Password to Ensure 
Program Security
Parameter values can be password-protected using the LCD OIM. 
When the password is enabled, parameter values can be displayed. 
However, if there is an attempt to change a parameter value, a 
password pop-up box will appear on the OIM screen to prompt for 
the user-defined password.
To set the write-protect password, select the Password icon from the 
main menu. See figure 11.6. The password value can range from 1 
to 9999. A value of 0 disables the password (factory default).
When the password is enabled, the lock symbol on the screen 
changes from 
to
.
When you enter the password, you can adjust parameters until you 
select Logout or return to the process display screen, which
re-activates the password. Refer to section 9.8 in chapter 9 for 
information about the process display screen.
This option is not supported in the VS Utilities software.

ATTENTION: It is the user’s responsibility to determine how 
to distribute the write-protect password. Reliance Electric is 
not responsible for unauthorized access violations within the 
user’s organization. Failure to observe this precaution could 
result in bodily injury.
