Front-Panel Operations
Front-Panel Menus and Screens
If you did not enter a valid password, the relay displays the error screen shown
in Figure 5.15. Entering a valid password for an access level below the
required access level also causes the relay to generate the error screen. In both
password failure cases, the relay does not change the front-panel access level
(it does not reset to Access Level 1 if at a higher access level). The relay
displays the
PASSWORD INVALID screen for five seconds. If you do not want to
wait for the relay to remove the message, press any of the six navigational
pushbuttons during the five-second error message to return to the previous
screen in which you were working.
