CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP
F35 MULTIPLE FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 5-11
5
The following access supervision settings are available.
INVALID ATTEMPTS BEFORE LOCKOUT — This setting specifies the number of times that an incorrect password can be entered 
within a three-minute time span before lockout occurs. When lockout occurs, the LOCAL ACCESS DENIED or REMOTE ACCESS 
DENIED FlexLogic operands are set to “On.” These operands are returned to the “Off” state upon expiration of the lockout.
PASSWORD LOCKOUT DURATION — This setting specifies the time that the F35 locks out password access after the number 
of invalid password entries specified by the INVALID ATTEMPTS BEFORE LOCKOUT setting has occurred.
The F35 provides a means to raise an alarm upon failed password entry. If password verification fails while accessing a 
password-protected level of the relay (either settings or commands), the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS FlexLogic operand is 
asserted. The operand can be programmed to raise an alarm via contact outputs or communications. This feature can be 
used to protect against both unauthorized and accidental access attempts.
The UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS operand is reset with the 
COMMANDS  CLEAR RECORDS  RESET UNAUTHORIZED ALARMS 
command. Therefore, to apply this feature with security, password-protect the Command level. The operand does not 
generate events or targets.
If events or targets are required, the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS operand can be assigned to a digital element programmed with 
event logs or targets enabled.
The following table outlines access level timeout settings.

These settings allow the user to specify the length of inactivity required before returning to the Restricted access level. 
Note that the access level is set to Restricted when control power is cycled.
COMMAND LEVEL ACCESS TIMEOUT — This setting specifies the length of inactivity (no local or remote access) required to 
return to Restricted access from the Command password level.
SETTING LEVEL ACCESS TIMEOUT — This setting specifies the length of inactivity (no local or remote access) required to return 
to Restricted access from the Command password level.
Dual-permission security access
SETTINGS  PRODUCT SETUP  SECURITY  DUAL PERMISSION SECURITY ACCESS
This feature provides a mechanism to prevent unauthorized or unintended upload of settings to a relay through the local 
or remote interface.
The following settings are available through the local (front panel) interface only.
•
LOCAL SETTING AUTH — This setting is used for local (front panel or RS232 interface) setting access supervision. Valid 
values for the FlexLogic operands are either “On” (default) or any physical “Contact Input ~~ On” value.
