5.4.2 Access permission (Xbutton)
The welding system offers two options to prevent unauthorised access to welding parameters or uninten-
tional reconfiguration.
1 Key switch (available depending on machine version). With the key switch in position 1 all functions
and parameters can be configured without any restriction. In position 0 certain predefined
welding parameters or functions cannot be modified (see relevant documentation).
2 Xbutton. With this function, permissions can be assigned to users to access those areas of the machi-
ne control defined for them. To do so, the user needs a digital key (Xbutton) to log on to the machine
via the Xbutton
interface. The key itself is configured by the system user (welding supervisor).
If the Xbutton
function is activated, the key switch/key switch function is deactivated.

To activate Xbutton rights follow these instructions:
1. Set key switch to position "1".
2. Log on with a Xbutton and administrator rights.
3. Set menu option "Xbutton rights active" to "yes".
By following these instructions you make sure not to inadvertently block your access while not owning an
Xbutton with administrator rights.
