System Setup Detail:
70 – Remote/Local mode password setup:
Enter the new four-digit password, not #-terminated. This password is used to remotely
toggle off/on the Sicon-8’s local mode. Its use can be dangerous & only senior management should
have access to the password.
71 – Passwords setup:
There are five password memories and four levels of passwords ranging from super-
administrator to meter reader. Administrator and super-admin can set any parameter and
operate any control. The administrator cannot set or change the passwords of the super-
admin, but that is the only difference. The controller can operate the Sicon & read meters,
but cannot change any setup parameters. The reader cannot control anything but can
operate the meters. Super-Admin is always assigned to memory location #1. Any other
location can be set to any password level. There are three user definable password levels:
Administrator = Level 3, Controller = Level 2 and reader is level 1.
72 – Set up phone dialer memories:
There are twenty phone number memories in the Sicon-8. Each memory can hold up to 32
digits. When programming critical alarms, memory locations can be used for as many
channels as desired. There are several special characters & functions related to the
telephone dialer memories:
Setup: The Sicon-8 beeps once. Enter a password location (1 thru 5). Sicon beeps. Enter access level (except for
memory #1). Sicon beeps. Enter password followed by the #. Sicon beeps twice ending this sequence.
