Similarly, PAS 2 can be used to change the Level 2 password. After entering
new passwords, type
PAS <Enter> to inspect them. Make sure they are what
you intended and record the new passwords.
Passwords may include up to six characters. Valid characters consist of
“A–Z,” “a–z,” “0–9,” “-,” and “.” Passwords are case sensitive, i.e., upper-
and lowercase letters are treated as different characters. Strong passwords
consist of six characters, with at least one special character or digit and mixed-
case sensitivity, but do not form a name, date, acronym, or word. Passwords
formed in this manner are less susceptible to password guessing and
automated attacks.
If the passwords are lost or you wish to operate the relay without password
protection, install JMP22 on the main board (jumper JMP22 = ON). With no
password protection, you may gain access without knowing the passwords and
view or change current passwords and settings.
PUL (Pulse)
Access Level 2
Use the PUL command to pulse any of the output contacts for a specified
length of time. The command format is as follows:
PUL x y
where:
x is OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, OUT4, or ALARM
y is the pulse duration (1–30) in seconds
If y is not specified, the pulse duration defaults to one second.
To pulse OUT1 for five seconds type the following:
=>> PUL OUT1 5 <Enter>
Are you sure (Y/N) ? Y <Enter>
=>>
If the response to the “Are you sure (Y/N) ?” prompt is “N” or “n,” the
command is aborted.
The PUL command is supervised by the main board breaker jumper, JMP24.
If JMP24 is not in place (jumper JMP24 = OFF), the relay does not accept the
PUL command and responds “Aborted: No Breaker Jumper.”
The relay generates an event report if you pulse the OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, or
OUT4 contact.
