If the device connected to the mA output is out of calibration,  and cannot be 
calibrated,  then  the  low  and  high  current  levels  can  be  trimmed  by  altering 

P838 (Low Trim)

 and 

P839 (High Trim)

. To do this, simply enter the value 

that ensures that 4 mA or 20 mA respectively are shown on the remote device. 
You  can  use  the  left/right  menu  keys  to  alter  the  value  until  the  correct 
reading is shown on the remote device, rather than typing in a value. 

Setting Security Passcodes 

A  passcode  is  used  to  switch  the 

IMP  Lite

  from 

Run  Mode

  into

  Program 

Mode

You can set a new passcode to prevent anyone changing any of your settings 
within your 

IMP Lite

. The default 

passcode

 is 

1997

, but this may be changed 

as follows. 

Additional Information 

The passcode is also used for remote access using the RS232, so if this is 
being used, be sure to ensure any additional equipment using this feature is 
changed accordingly. 

 

 

Using A Passcode 

If you don’t want to use a passcode, you can disable it as follows. First, enter 

Program Mode

 and go to the 

SyS1

 (System

)

 menu. Select 

P921

 which is the 

passcode enable

 parameter. 

As shown on the display, setting the passcode enable to ‘

0

’ will 

disable

 it, or 

1

’ will 

enable 

the use of passcode. 

Additional Information 

If the use of a passcode has been disabled, then you can move straight into 
Program Mode from Run Mode by pressing the ESC and 

ENTER

 button 

simultaneously. 

 

 

Changing the Passcode 

You  can  set  the 

passcode

  to  any  number  from  0000  to  9999.  To  do  this, 

enter 

Program Mode

 and go to 

SyS1

 (System) menu. Select 

P922

 which is 

the 

Passcode

 parameter which can be changed as required.
