Operation manual
Transducer Lock Function
To ensure that no unauthorized personal are able to change transducer setup and parameters, the
transducer lock function can prevent direct access to parameter changes. Transducers delivered with pre-
configured custom specified parameters (special part number) are per default locked and will reply with
“NAK180”, if the user tries to change locked parameters. The unlock procedure must be executed to change
these parameters.
