Step 11 Reset the grand total to zero

Before completing commissioning  the
grand total counter should be reset to
zero.  Select 'CLr. Gtot' from the main
menu and press

 P

 which will cause the

instrument to display 'Clr. no'.   Toggle
this to 'CLr. YES' using the 

Up

 or

Down

 push-buttons and press 

P

 which

will result in a '0000' prompt.  Using the

Up

, and

 Down

 buttons and the

  P

button to move to the next digit,
confirm the request by entering the
password 'SurE'. Note: S is entered as
5.    Pressing

  E

 will then reset the

grand total counter to zero and return
the instrument to the 'CLr. Gtot' prompt
in the main menu.

Step 12 Define the security code

Defining a security code prevents
unauthorised access to the programme
functions.   Select 'COdE' from the
main menu and press 

P

 which will

reveal the existing security code.
Using the 

Up

 and 

Down

 buttons enter

the new code 1209 digit by digit.  The

P

 button will transfer control between

digits. When the new code has been
entered, press 

E

 to return to the main

programme menu.

Step 13 Return to the display mode

Following completion of programming
and calibration, return the BA538C to
the operating mode by pressing 

E

.  All

the  programming functions will now be
stored in permanent memory and will
be protected from accidental or
unauthorised adjustment by the
security code.
