9. ENABLING & LOCKING OUT MENU ITEMS
For security reasons and ease of meter operation, any and all 
menu items may be disabled or "locked out" so that they are no 
longer directly accessible from the front panel. Each function to 
be disabled is set to "1" in menu items Loc 1, Loc 2 or Loc 3, and 
each function to be enabled is set to "0." The top menu items 
Loc 1, Loc 2 and Loc 3 can in turn be locked out by installing an 
internal hardware jumper. With the jumper installed, the operator 
only has access only to enabled menu items. With the jumper 
removed, the operator also has access to menu items Loc 1, Loc 
2 and Loc 3. 
 
SETTING HARDWARE LOCKOUT JUMPER
To access the lockout jumper, remove the rear panel per Section 
9 and locate jumper “a” in the lower portion of the power supply 
board next to the input connectors (see figure at right). 
 
SETTING SOFTWARE LOCKOUTS
When setting up the meter, it may be necessary to 
enable specific menu items by setting the corres-
ponding lockout digit to 0. Be sure to reset the lockout 
digit to "1" if you do not want the menu item to be 
changed by an operator. 
 
Loc 1 Loc 2 Loc 3
Press the
MENU key until Loc 1, Loc 2 or Loc 3

jumper must be removed (see above).
