4.8. Con guring user levels and their passwords
As a factory default, no user level is locked with a password in an IED. In order to activate the different
user levels, click the Lock button in the device's HMI and set the desired passwords for the different
user levels.
NOTE!
Passwords can only be set locally in an HMI.
A number of stars are displayed in the upper right corner of the HMI; these indicate the current user
level. The different user levels and their star indicators are as follows (also, see the image below for the
HMI view):
Super user (***)
Con gurator (**)
Operator (*)
User ( - )
You can set a new password for a user level by selecting the key icon next to the user level's name.
After this you can lock the user level by pressing the Return key while the lock is selected. If you need
to change the password, you can select the key icon again and give a new password. Please note that
in order to do this the user level whose password is being changed must be unlocked.
As mentioned above, the access level of the different user levels is indicated by the number of stars.
The required access level to change a parameter is indicated with a star (*) symbol if such is required.
As a general rule the access levels are divided as follows:
User:
Can view any menus and settings but cannot change any settings, nor operate breakers
or other equipment.
Operator:
Can view any menus and settings but cannot change any settings BUT can operate
breakers and other equipment.
Con gurator:
Can change most settings such as basic protection pick-up levels or time delays,
breaker control functions, signal descriptions etc. and can operate breakers and other
equipment.
