7.1 Bluetooth radio interface
Devices with a Bluetooth radio interface are protected against un-
wanted access from outside. This means that only authorized persons
can receive measured and status values and change device settings
via this interface.
A Bluetooth access code is required to establish Bluetooth com-
munication via the adjustment tool (smartphone/tablet/notebook).
This code must be entered once when Bluetooth communication is
establishedforthersttimeintheadjustmenttool.Itisthenstoredin
the adjustment tool and does not have to be entered again.
The Bluetooth access code is individual for each device. It is printed
on the device housing with Bluetooth. In addition, it is supplied with
the device in the information sheet " PINs and Codes" In addition, the
Bluetooth access code can be read out via the display and adjust-
ment unit, depending on the device version.
TheBluetoothaccesscodecanbechangedbytheuseraftertherst
connection is established. If the Bluetooth access code is entered
incorrectly, the new entry is only possible after a waiting period has
elapsed. The waiting time increases with each further incorrect entry.
The emergency Bluetooth access code enables Bluetooth communi-
cation to be established in the event that the Bluetooth access code
is no longer known. It can't be changed. The emergency Bluetooth
access code can be found in information sheet " Access protection".
If this document is lost, the emergency Bluetooth access code can
be retrieved from your personal contact person after legitimation.
The storage and transmission of Bluetooth access codes is always
encrypted (SHA 256 algorithm).
7.2 Protection of the parameterization
The settings (parameters) of the device can be protected against un-
wanted changes. The parameter protection is deactivated on delivery,
all settings can be made.
For SIL devices, the parameter protection is activated in the delivery
status.Forsettings,itmustrstbedeactivatedbyenteringthedevice
code.
To protect the parameterization, the device can be locked by the user
with the aid of a freely selectable device code. The settings (param-
eters) can then only be read out, but not changed. The device code
is also stored in the adjustment tool. However, unlike the Bluetooth
access code, it must be re-entered for each unlock. When using the
adjustment app or DTM, the stored device code is then suggested to
the user for unlocking.
The emergency device code allows unlocking the device in case the
device code is no longer known. It can't be changed. The emergency
