Function 64 Configure Passwords
Use function 64 to enter password data. The IDS 430/433 provides three
security passwords that can be activated and entered to protect configuration
data. Password 1 is used to protect I/O port configuration, setpoint, and event
monitor data. Password 2 is used to protect calibration and scale configuration
data. Security level 3 provides extra protection for password level 2 data.
Security level 3 requires the entry of password 2 and the Function Lock inside
the IDS 430/433 to be in the unlocked position. Password 3 will inhibit viewing,
changing, and uploading of Scale Basic functions to a PC when password is
active but will allow downloading a new Scale Basic program from the PC to the
indicator. All passwords will be disabled once the new program has been
downloaded into the indicator and should be reactivated.
The Operation Parameter Reference Table lists the configuration parameters and
the password/security level required to access them. The IDS 430/433 prompts
“PASS 1” when a parameter is selected that requires password level 1. If the
entered password is incorrect, the IDS 430/433 displays “Error”. Press the
ENTER key to try again. Press the CLEAR to exit from password entry.
IMPORTANT NOTE : Write down the passwords and put them in a safe place. If
you loose and forget a password, there is no way to access the protected
functions.
1. Hold the CLEAR key down and press the ENTER key to enter the configure
mode.
2. Enter CFG 64. The IDS 430/433 prompts “P1 xxxx” where xxxx is the current
password number. Enter a new password number or press the ENTER key
to use the displayed number. Enter a 0 (zero) for the password number to
disable the password.
3. The IDS 430/433 prompts “P2 xxxx”. Enter password 2 data.
