1.6 Passkey for write protection
To avoid accidental change, most of the properties are write-protected. There are four levels of access protection, refer
Table 1-4 .
A special property called Passkey() must be set according to the protection level before changing the value of
properties that are write-protected, refer Table 1-4 . After a period of inactivity at the serial input, the access level will
revert to default. This period corresponds to the Comm TimeOut setting, or 1 minutes it the Comm TimeOut is set to
Always On .
The access level needed to Read or Write each property is given in the last column of each table in the following
chapters. Please note that some properties are read only for operators, and only Aanderaa Service personal or trained
users can write to these properties.

1.7 Sensor Properties
When using AADI Real-Time Collector you don’t need to think about the command string sent to the sensor since this is
fully controlled by the software, see CHAPTER 3 and CHAPTER 4 .
Some properties of the ‘AiCaP’ sensor will not be applicable / visible when the sensor is connected to a SmartGuard
Datalogger, as these properties will be controlled by the instrument. For older versions of Motus a hardware upgrade
might also be needed. Please contact aanderaa.sales@xyleminc.com for assistance.
Please note that updating the Image might also require an Image update in the logger and update of AADI Real-Time
Collector.
All sensor properties are listed in chapters 1.7.1 through 1.7.4.
