DME32—Owner’s Manual
Restricting Access to the DME32
Access to the DME32 can be restricted by using the Protect function. Two levels of pro-
tection are available: Scene Recall Only and Full Protect. Scene Recall Only allows
scenes to be recalled while preventing access to all other functions. Full Protect prevents
access to all functions, although it can be disabled temporarily by entering the correct
password, allowing editing by authorized users. See “Temporarily Disabling the Protec-
tion System” on page 206 for more information.
In a multiple-unit system, protection functions need only be set on DME32 #1, as the
other DME32s are set accordingly via the cascade connections.
Note that this protection function is not the same as the protection functions offered
by DME Manager, which are explained on page 83.
Setting the Password
This procedure explains how to set the password for the first time, or after the DME32
has been initialized. To change or delete a password that has already been set, see
page 207 and page 208, respectively.
1
Press the [PROTECT] button.
The following display appears and the PROTECT indicator lights up.
2
Use the SCENE RECALL number keypad to enter a 4-digit password.
If you enter an incorrect digit, press the [PROTECT] button to start again. Note that if
you press the [RECALL] button after four digits have been entered, the password will
be set.
To cancel the Protect function and not set the password, press the [PROTECT] button.
The Protect function is cancelled and the PROTECT indicator goes out.
3
When you’ve entered all four digits, press the [RECALL] button to set the pass-
word.
The password is set and the protection system is enabled.
