Toggling Parameter Security On/Off
(LK.ON)
To toggle the state of the lock, scroll to the LK.ON parameter and touch the
magnet to the E (Enter) key. Observe the display changes to 000. Hold the
magnet on the Up key until the display changes to the stored password
(000 by default) and touch the Enter key. Observe the display shows "SEt"
momentarily, and the lock icon appears (if enabling security) or disappears (if
disabling security). If the wrong password is entered, "ERR" will appear on
the display.
Changing the Password (LK.PW)
The password is located in the LOCK menu as the LK.PW parameter. When
the system is unlocked (no icon visible), the password may be viewed and
changed just like any other parameter. However, when the system is locked
the password is displayed as 000. Attempting to enter a new password will
result in a display of "Err" instead of "SEt".
Auto-Lock Timer (LK.tM)
As an option, parameter security is automatically re-enabled (after being
toggled off) by specifying a nonzero value in the LK.tM parameter. The value
appearing in the LK.tM parameter is the number of minutes (1 to 90) which the
transmitter remains unlocked before automatically re-locking itself (the feature
is disabled when LK.tM=0). The time-out period begins at the moment the
transmitter is unlocked and will re-lock only after the period has expired and
the mode has returned to RUN mode (the transmitter will not self lock during
parameter editing). Note that the instrument always returns to RUN mode if
no keys have been activated for two minutes. Additionally, if the transmitter
experiences a hardware reset (i.e., power cycle) with a nonzero value
programmed in the LK.tM parameter, it will immediately enable the security.
