Section 11 Security Menu
Note: When the instrument is started for the first time, security is enabled. Refer to Section 5 Start up on
page 45. It is highly recommended that each user be entered into the system and given appropriate access
rights as soon as possible to avoid any unauthorized access. Details of this process are described in this
section.
11.1 Access rights management
Each user has a unique ID and password. The ID and password are used by the software to:
• Allow or deny a user to perform specific actions.
• To trace this action with his "ID" in a log file.
Once the ID and password are entered, the user is allowed to perform actions according to the
"Access level" that has been attributed to his ID by the Manager. Refer to Security level table on
page 16.
At startup all menus are locked and a valid ID and password combination is required to get
access beyond the standard measurement view. Refer to Section 5 Start up on page 45.
Note: If the instrument security is enabled and the login credentials are not known, contact Hach Service
support with the recovery code to get the login credentials. The recovery code shows on the login window.
The supplied login credentials expire in one day. Make sure to change the login credential with known
values.
