9.0 Password Protecting the Programming Functions
In some situations it may be useful to password protect certain functions of the scale so that they can only be used
by authorized personnel. Each of the major modes of the scale other than the operation mode can be set to require
a password of up to six numeric digits. The ability to set, change or delete passwords in the password mode itself
should also be password protected. Another option for protecting certain functions is to require use of the span
switch (SPEC 636 internal count protected by span switch and SPEC 637 calibration default spec SPEC 142
mode protected by span switch). See
Section 3.1 for instructions on how to set customer specifications.

not available in this function) and press the

key to store it or just press * REPRINT to set no password. The display will move to the next
mode, the service (Z) mode shown by the blinking Z annunciator.
4. If desired, enter a password for the service (Z) mode and press the * REPRINT key to store it or just press
the * REPRINT key to set no password. The display will move to the password (P) mode shown by the
having all the mode annunciators blink.
