 VARIO 2

Functional description

The second display [Password activation] appears:

 

Enter the password once again and press i‑OP to confirm your entry.

The display [Configuration] appears with the message [PASSWORD LOCK 

IS ACTIVE]. The station is now protected.

6.4.5 

Changing the password

The password is set in configuration mode. If a password has already been set, the code appears 

“hidden”.

If the user would like to change a password, the active password protection must first be revoked by 

entering the current password.

After a correct input, the new password can be set. If the numerical input is completed by means 

of the PUSH function, a note appears to inform you that the password protection will be activated. 

This note should once again inform the operator about the severity of this function. If the function is 

interrupted, the previous status will be maintained.

If the operator continues the dialog [>>>], the password needs to be repeated for activation.

If the password was repeated correctly, the station is protected by the code. If the code is entered 

incorrectly, you will receive a message stating that the previous condition will be maintained.

The symbol 

 signalizes that the station is protected.

6.4.6 

Password forgotten

If you have forgotten your password, this can only be reactivated by the Ersa Service for reasons 

of safety. In this case please consult Ersa by stating your address, name, invoice number and serial 

number of the soldering station (see type plate). The password protection can also be disabled with 

the i‑SET TOOL; see chapter 6.3.1 [i‑SET TOOL]. For this purpose follow the corresponding note in 

chapter 6.4.3 [Password protection].
