Operator’s Guide
Please note that a password remains valid until access authorization is reset
with the soft key DELETE PASSWORD.
Access rights are thus not automatically deleted by power ON!
Up to eight characters are possible for a password. When choosing the pass-
word, it is recommended to limit yourself to the character set of the operator
panel. If the character has less than 8 characters, the remaining characters are
interpreted as a blank.
