• Once a numeric setpoint is entered (after pressing at least one numeric key), press the or key to
change the sign, if applicable.
d) SETPOINT ENTRY
To store setpoints with the keypad, Terminals C1 and C2 (access terminals) must be shorted (a key switch may be used for
security). There is also a setpoint passcode feature that can restrict setpoint access from the keypad and communication
ports. If activated, the passcode must be entered before changing the setpoint values. A passcode of "0" turns off the pass-
code feature and only the access jumper is required to change setpoints. If no setpoint changes are made for 30 minutes,
access to setpoint values will be restricted until the passcode is entered again. To prevent setpoint access before the 30
minutes expiry, the unit may be turned off and back on, the access jumper may be removed, or the
SETPOINT ACCESS set-
point may be changed to "Restricted". The passcode for the front panel keypad cannot be entered until terminals C1 and
C2 are shorted. The Setpoint Access LED Indicator will be on if setpoint access is enabled for the front panel keypad.
The following procedure may be used to access and alter any setpoint message. This specific example will refer to entering
a valid passcode in order to allow access to setpoints if the passcode was "489"

new value, pressing resets the setpoint to its original value. Text editing is described in detail in Section b):
