SECURITY
The M5000 security feature allows the option to restrict access to the meter by way of a 6-digit Personal Identification Number
(PIN). The system administrator can set up a single PIN for each of the three different levels of access:
• Administration – allows access to all M5000 menu configuration screens.
• Service – allows access to service-level and user-level menu configuration screens.
• User – allows access only to user-level menu configuration screens.
OTE:N For a lost PIN, Contact Badger Meter Technical Support at 800-456-5023 for a replacement PIN.
Not all levels of access need to be set. If no PINs are set up, any M5000 user will have access to all functions.
OTE:N The security settings will also apply to remote access. All remote writes via Modbus to the meter will be blocked
unless the user is remotely logged in.
