Setting X and Manager Passwords
Setting X and Manager Passwords
Two Manager Passwords are available for added security:
• one password to go to the PRG and Z modes
• one password to go to the X mode.
After you program a password, you must use it every time you go to the
program mode or before every X or Z readings, depending on which you
set the password for.
When you enter a password, it appears as asterisks **** on the displays for
extra security.
