a. The button icon will change to ‘unlocked,’ and the password level (number) will be displayed.
Password Levels
There are five password levels:
Level 0: Protected
When the unit is set to Level 0, only basic pattern settings can be entered or changed. Level 0 provides the ultimate
safety settings to prevent unauthorized and/or accidental changes. This level can be set as the “Default” level by
someone with a Level 2 (Supervisor) password.
Level 1: Operator (No password required)
This is the “Default” level of operation when the unit is first turned on (unless the “Default” setting has been changed
to Level 0 by a Supervisor). Level 1 allows Operators to set patterns, pressures, load jobs, and enter basic
parameters necessary to run jobs.
Level 2: Supervisor (Default Password = 1234)
This is the highest user password level. At this level, the “Default” password level can be set, individual valve settings
can be viewed and changed, jobs can be saved (as well as loaded), and the memory can be backed up. The Level 2
password can be changed (this is explained under the heading “Level 2 Password Options”).
Level 3: Service
This password level is reserved for Authorized Service Personnel.
Level 4: Programmer
This password level is reserved for Factory Programmers.
Level 2 Password Options
A Level 2 Supervisor has the ability to place the unit into the Protected Level Mode (Level 0) and to change the Level
2 password.
Protected Level Mode
The Protected Level Mode (Level 0) increases security by changing the Default Level of the unit from Level 1 to Level
0. This means that when the unit is turned on, it will automatically be in Level 0 instead of Level 1 (until the supervisor
changes the Default Mode to Level 1). Only someone with the Level 2 password can change the Default Level of the
unit.
