The value(s) of the counter(s) is written on the tamperproof trade label on the front or top of the
indicator for trade-certified applications and functions as an electronic seal. If any legal for trade
settings are changed on the instrument, the current value of the calibration counter(s) will be
different from the recorded value and the seal is broken. In this manual, items marked with 
indicate that the setting is legal for trade critical settings.
6.6. Passcodes
The instrument has two levels of passcodes to provide a security lock on accessing Setup via
the keypad.
• Full Setup Passcode
• Safe Setup Passcode
The Full Setup passcode can also be used to access Safe Setup.
6.6.1. Full Setup Passcode
Setting a passcode for Full Setup restricts any access to Full Setup. Refer to FULL.PC
(Full Security Passcode for Digital Setup) page 36.
6.6.2. Safe Setup Passcode
Setting a passcode for Safe Setup restricts access to Safe Setup functions. Refer to
SAFE.PC
(Safe Security Passcode for Digital Setup) page 36.
6.6.3. Setup Lock-Out
If an attempt is made to enter Full or Safe Setup using an incorrect passcode, the instrument
will respond with the message ENTRY DENIED and then the user will be returned to normal
operating mode. A passcode counter has been set so that only three failed attempts can be
made to access Full/Safe Setup. On the fourth attempt the user will be 'locked out' of
Full/Safe setup. Should this occur the ENTER PASS prompt will not display, but instead the
ENTRY DENIED message displays and returns the user to the normal operating mode. To
rectify this issue the instrument must be turned off. When the instrument is turned back on the
passcode counter is reset to zero (allowing the user to enter the correct passcode).
