Activating Security
In order to prevent unauthorized tampering with the flowmeter’s
programming, the Model GS868 is equipped with a security feature
that locks out the following menus:
•
Program Menu
[PROG]
•
Calibration Menu
[CAL]
•
Log Menu
[LOG]
•
Clear Menu
[CLR]
When the system is locked, access to the above menus will be denied
unless the correct password is entered. The Model GS868 is shipped
with a
default password , which is given later in this section. For
increased security, the default password should be changed.
IMPORTANT:
Once the system has been locked, it can only be
unlocked by entering the password, because access
to the
SECUR
submenu is restricted.
To program the
SECUR
submenu, press [
→]
and
[F1]
at the
Global
PROGRAM
prompt. Refer to Figure A-3 on page A-3.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that all program parameters be
recorded before changing the password. (This
information should be recorded in Appendix B,
Data
Records , as a matter of routine.) If the password is
lost, the site data is not retrievable and will have to
be re-entered.
