Chapter Eight: Security and Locks

8

Overview

The Series F4 allows users to set separate security

levels for the Static Set Point prompt on the Main

Page, for all menus on the Operations Page, as well

as for the Profiles Page, Setup Page and Factory

Page. Four levels of security are available:

Full Access (operators can enter and change

settings);

Read Only (operators can read but not change

settings);

Password (operators can enter and change

settings after entering a password); and

Hidden (operators cannot see the menu or

page — it is not displayed). Set Point settings

cannot be Hidden.

Full Access is the default for all menus. Unless you

change the level of access, operators will be able to

read and change every setting in every menu in the

Series F4 software.

Set Lock Levels

To set levels of security, go to “Set Lockout,” on the

Factory Page. Press the Right Key .. This menu

lists the menus for which access can be limited:

Set Point on Main Page
Operations Page Autotune PID
Operations Page Edit PID
Operations Page Alarm Set Point
Profiles Page
Setup Page
Factory Page

After choosing the item to lock out, press . and

choose the level of access: Full, Read Only,

Password or Hidden. If you choose Password, you

must set the password — see below.

NOTE:

Full Access is the default for all menus. Unless you
change the level of access, operators will be able to read
and change every setting in every menu in the Series F4
software.
