As soon as the password has been entered once for the device, it is not requested again.
The set password can be deleted from the memory in menu item "Password management".
Two different password types are available:
● Device password: Valid for one device only
● Global password: Valid for multiple devices
(A global password simultaneously unlocks multiple devices in which the “Global
password” has been defined).
ON: Write access is password protected by means of communication.
OFF: Password protection deactivated
(default setting: OFF)
Password policy: Four-digit number between 0000-9999
(default setting 0000)
Activation or deactivation of the password protection must be confirmed on the device. The
request message "PRESS SW" appears on the display for 15 minutes. By pressing the SW
button on the device during this phase, the protection function is activated or deactivated.
If the button has not been pressed once 15 minutes have expired, the changes are not
applied and the request message on the device disappears.
If the password protection is entered incorrectly, this action can only be repeated after a
short delay.
Every repeated incorrect password entry results in an extension of the delay period between
entry possibilities.
Note
If you have forgotten the password, please contact Technical Support. There
you will receive a new password.
